My girlfriend, who is a septic,
just asked me for reasons that I hate Americans. She seems to think that most people hate them just because everyone else does.

So, why do you hate Americans?

Alt: Why's America the fucking greatest country in the world? USA! USA! USA! USA! ect.

I don't.
And I find it mildly entertaining that you've just threadstomped an American to ask this.

No, he must be an Auzzie.
They refer to Merkins as Septics. As in Septic Tank - Yank.

I came *this* close to having my head caved in by a load of ex Marines in Rome eighteen months ago.
Because I asked if they were septics. I had to explain that it was rhyming slang and had nothing to do with what the actual word means, then I was forced to give examples whilst extremely pissed infront of the six or so aforementioned shaven head and huge ex Marines. Great days.

You all should think about this next time you go to call an american a septic.

about this next time you go to call an american a septic.

no additions. I think that sums it up. Calling big hard bastards anything is a risky move, calling them something stupid and easily misconstrued is just fucking stupid.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 13 Jul 2011, 16:23, Reply)

No, I'll continue to do it.
Seeing as it's something that comes completely naturally to me and if I can say it to six ex Marines and get off scot free, who the fuck else is going to stop me?

I'll tell you why I hate them, beacuse they're bloody nagging gingers. That's why.
( The Awful Puppy Bakery is still bored, Wed 13 Jul 2011, 17:25, Reply)

as with most things I don't hate the individual I hate the group.
Individual Americans are fine but as a country they are fucking annoying.
At the moment the thing that's most annoying me is keeping having to tell Chrome that words are spelled with an "s" not a "z", combined with the awful realisation (another word Chrome insists should be spelled with a z)that soon their way of spelling things will become standard the world over.

( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 13 Jul 2011, 16:32, Reply)

About your inability to spell?
I wasn't, you have my permission to be as illiterate as you like, the fact that most software wants me to misspell things according to the the whims of your countrymen, however, this I find annoying, especially as I rely on spell check so much.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Wed 13 Jul 2011, 16:38, Reply)

I'm not sure what to tell you.
I, along with the other billions of people in America, were taught to spell this way.
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 13 Jul 2011, 16:50, Reply)

As I say, not your fault
now we come to a choice if we are being humourously cunty go for answer A if we are having a genuine conversation then B
A) you can't help coming from a country of illiterate retards
B) Either way of spelling is equally valid and TBH US spelling is probably more 'original' in most cases. My problem is I had to work very hard to learn spell things right, and even then I still need a spell checker to avoid sounding like Gonz and it annoys me that the thing I rely on to help me spell right is telling me to spell things, that I've actually remembered to how to spell, wrong.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Wed 13 Jul 2011, 16:56, Reply)

do they have a grammar checker out?

( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 13 Jul 2011, 17:03, Reply)

Not in chrome, no.
And mine is probably all over the place, mostly due to trying to type like I speak, but also due to crapness.

Most people do hate them because everyone else does.
I think the majority of people that actually think about it don't like the difference between America "the brand" freedom, democracy, justice and liberty that they sell overseas with what they tend to do, which is protectionism, aggressive capitalism and competition, self interest and secrecy.

Individually they can be great.
Same as most countries, I suspect, it's just that the number of USians who leave the US then call everything "quaint" (metaphirically speaking , at least), or think Paris is the capital of Eurostan, or think that Europeans all speak German is moderately high, so the general impression is bad.
I'm English, so I "Hate The French" -- doesn't mean I have any less respect for my French colleagues than I do for any others, it's just a culture clash.
Heck, being English I cook and eat shit food, never complain about anything, love to queue more than almost anything, have very bad teeth (true), drink far too much (true) and, apparently, am a lapdog to America.
Thinking about it, though, the US does seem to have a much wider range of intellects education and cultural awareness than anywhere else I've been -- probably their RMS "CLEVERNESS" is harmed by this.
