WTF gives you the right to categorize an entire nation...


Many Americans on this board do this. I'd say it is par for the course.

Yep seems if Americans rush to help then we are "Throwing our weight around and trying to Police the World" and if we don't rush to help then we are "Too Cautious and don't give a dam.'

So tell me WTF do you want from Americans?

OOOH OOHHH MISTER KOTTER! MISTER KOTTER! I KNOW THIS ONE!!!!

Uhm... it would help if you (and by 'you' I mean some of you) would quit acting like a bunch of girls. Would quit getting so sensitive about stuff. Would quit getting all Teary Eyed Bald Eagle whenever the slightest opportunity presents itself. Would quit gettin' all self righteous high and mighty.

We're all tards here. All of our governments suck. We're all surrounded by lame *****. So suck it up, and get over your sweet selves. You aint all that.

Heh NashWipe... I guess we Americans ARE all that. If we wasn't then I hardly doubt that "Others" would have brought up Americans in this thread.

So...you "Get Over It" and unwad your panties.

Pardon me for living in Michigan (6-8" of snow on the ground), pardon me for working this morning, pardon me for attending a family Xmas party, pardon my wife and I for going to our only motion picture of the year.  Forgive us for having to pick up our son at my wife's in-laws.  Now, go F yourself you self-rightous salamander.  You want a cookie for being the "first one to post this"?

Now, it is tragedies like this that humans should meld together and forget by-gones.   Tsunami's are no joke, and it had to be a large landslide.  I'd give my xmas presents for a life saved.

it's a horrible  thing to happen but don't use it as a springboard to launch onto your soapbox. using a tragedy to further your own political views is pretty lame.


sorry folks...I overreacted .
I have friends in Sri Lanka and India, I don't know if they're OK.

We saw Ocean's Twelve.  I thought for a sequel they did alright.  I still can't stand Julia Roberts though.   With our son Ian turning 3 in sept., we've finally agreed to set time aside, for ourselves.

I did wonder about a tsunami at the time,  as it was fairly close to you guys and tasmania.

Perhaps it was in deep water down there or something .

Terrible thing for those folks in SE Asia.

Understand this board is in no way typical of Americans.  It's really just a school yard clique. No offence intended, but really, its more of who you are than what you say. Its a cliique. Don't get too upset if the rat pack doesn't post to a certain topic.
