If you can’t understand the invasion of the US, Canada and the western world is a designed plan you probably couldn’t see wearing a mask and the jab would save you in 2020

Not uncommon. I think a lot of countries have an inferiority complex regarding the US. I believe most of them know the world would be a very different place if not for the US and it bugs them that they are not a part of US greatness. [/quote)


No not at all,it is the arrogance of Americans compared to all other nationalities that makes people dislike Americans abroad.
As aptly demonstrated by your post.


HA! I’m actually pretty well liked from several folks abroad.

You’re mistaking pride for arrogance again. I used to try and empathize with the inferiority complex. Now, not so much. Now I figure there is no need to apologize or be ashamed of American greatness. Also no reason for other countries to resent it actually. Just the way it is.

Look up the phrase Ugly American and see how it came about and what it means internationally today.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

So then its not politically incorrect to call a guy waving a Mexican flag here in my country, demanding everyone speak mexican and give them more welfare, an Ugly Mexican????

No Danny, it’s perfectly acceptable and celebrated when people from other countries show pride. Just not the US. We are supposed to be quietly prideful so we don’t upset anyone. crazy

I didn't bother to look up “ugly American” because I don’t really care how other countries define the US. I assume it’s just more of the same complex I described earlier. Mistaking pride for arrogance again.

Hands down, the worst people on the hiking trail were European. I’m not talking the paved trails that tourists use…..they’re all pricks. I’m talking the trails that are a bit more difficult. A few were nice, but most were very rude…… Make a guy wish a grizz was hanging around one of the corners, give em a good nature moment……. Then I can be the idiot videoing on their phone instead of helping……lol

Just glad I'm not Canadian, my bank account would have been frozen a few years ago.
