the point that flew way over your fucking head was exactly what you just said - blaming the actions of the government of a country on its people is fucking retarded
read this again, and instead of blindly raging and flaming me, actually read what the fuck i typed:

KDR says americans are stupid because they elected bush twice, so i turn around and use literally the same exact argument against him to show him how god damn stupid it is. he understood what i did and gave me back an interesting argument.
you, on the other hand...you just came in, read this
read NOTHING ELSE, and then hilariously put your foot so deep in your mouth you'll have to have it surgically removed.good job electing hitler

Blaming the actions of the goverment on the people who elected them, ignoring that they fucked up repeatedly over and over again, and still get votes to continue by the people of the country.blaming the actions of the government of a country on its people is fucking retarded
Blaming the actions of the goverment when it was fucked up by 3:rd party

you assume that the US has legitimate elections, and that voters are well informed by the media of how the government functions.Sleksa wrote:

And there's the root of the problem, and the major reason people dislike Americans: By and large they're clueless as to what actually goes on in the world, and more often than not, what goes on in their own country. BUT, and here's the most important part, they're taught from a young age about how great their "American Way" is that they develop an arrogance that doesn't allow them to admit their ignorance. In anything. Someone says "what do you think of such-and-such", and they respond, "Oh it's terrible, that's gotta stop" or "It's nothing we need to worry about", not "I've never heard of that before" as the reality is.you assume that the US has legitimate elections, and that voters are well informed by the media of how the government functions.
You ask, "what do you think of Canadians slaughtering seals," and they respond "that's terrible! I can't believe that goes on!"... Well what about cows? Oh, they're not as cute and aren't featured in as many children's books, they don't matter. Those people who depend on seals for food should starve or move to someplace with less cute wildlife.
There's not enough free-thinking (no, is that terrorist?) people around to question the system anymore either. These poor ignorant people go to voting booths, are presented with two choices, and think that they're excercising their "right" to "self-determination".
The reality of the situation is, the only people who can possibly get on the ballot are people who have enough money to buy their place there. And nobody with that kind of money gives a crap about the other 99% of the population, the soldier breeding stock.
These poor saps read things like "MIT MASSACRE - SO-AND-SO WANTS STRICTER GUN CONTROL" and say, "gee, that guy's a winner, he's fighting the system to make the streets safer," not, "Oh look, another monster profiteering off the death of innocent people."
It makes me glad to see that this isn't universally true, but it's shocking how bad the problem has gotten. Certainly there are lots of smart, well-informed Americans, I don't doubt that... don't get me wrong, I'm not bigoted, I'm seriously concerned about the situation. There's a criminal lack of education and dependence on the largely impotent media.
I think the media is probably one of the biggest parts of the problem. Watching US news broadcasts is just sickening. 45 minutes dedicated to celebrities, stock quotes, the weather, a dog that saved a girl, a dog that killed a girl, and a trailing 3 minutes for a massacre in Iraq, only covered for the sake of showing how "horribly barbaric" they are, and how they need to be liberated at all costs.

Blaming is stupid. Seriously, it's completely non constructive... The only valid reason to lay blame on someone is so that you can take steps to teach them a lesson and ensure they don't repeat the fault. The vast majority of the ineptitude brought upon by the joke of a political entity the American people call their government is due to 1000 different people individually promoting different agendas with virtually no consideration for the big picture or the interests/reasoning of their opponents.

Brazilians have a deep hatred for their govern because of extreme amounts of corruption we have here. Actual I think we can say that 99% of the population would say that 99% of the govern is corrupt :) . And midia here keeps big eyes on the govern because of that, whats is good since its the only thing that can inform the people of what is going on. (thats why autoritary governs aim for the midia first)
Unhappyfull the poor and less educated people (thats 50% of the population) are easly manipulated and finish up reelecting corrupt people
