This is really weird (kinda spooky too) that’s exactly the same number of USA-bashing threads we have on this forum.


I don't see these threads. Define 'USA-bashing' and maybe provide a couple of examples from those hundreds of thousands of threads to give an idea of where you are coming from.

Well you could look up at the post immediately before yours. Not a thread, but certainly the sort of twatty comments one sees throughout the forum. It would invite generalizations about pretentious Europeans if one were prone to making the same sort of twatty generalizations.

Just look at the data. OECD data and just see how well America is doing. They are not generalisations but facts. Facts that Americans just dont wont to see. The truth that really hurts. Get used to it.

Thanks for the completely irrelevant wanking that has absolutely nothing to do with what anyone has said, Scot. I expect nothing less.

You talk about nothing else than about generalisations when in fact you cant accept the truth about America.
Look at the data.

Care to back that up?

Look at the data.

What the fuck does "the data" have anything at all to do with what I've said? Can you do something other than mindlessly froth at the mouth, please? Maybe try to actually address something that the person you're talking to has actually said, just for once?

Please Scot, provide the OECD data about Americans not reading the second line of thread titles, and about having long toes. Because then you'd actually be addressing what I've actually said, instead of just persisting with the knee-jerk diarrhea spray that is your posting history.

I was expecting that. Yes you're right, it's not an example of what I asked for. Scot is well known for his anti-Americanism, (although he spends more time being prejudiced against Britain and the British).

Thanks for yet more fail, Scot :lol: Do you even bother reading what people write before the foaming starts, or is it instinctive?

Here's a link to the YMCA's home site. http://www.ymca.net/ It's about as relevant to what I've said as what you've posted above.

That's just how their language sounds. Not very nice to make fun of it like that. :naughty:

What's with 'long toes'? What does that mean? Is it an idiom I am unfamiliar with?
The problem with fantasies is you can't really insist that everyone else believes in yours, the other problem with fantasies is that most believers of fantasies eventually get around to doing exactly that.

I interpreted it as meaning easily offended. Longer toes are easier to step on. It isn't a familiar idiom, but I quite like it.

I don't have long toes. That's a good thing, otherwise I'd constantly be stepping on my enormous American dick. They don't call me "Tripod" for nothing, you know.

I didn't forget. I was simply too lazy to include it.

My point stands. I pointed it out to keep expectations low so I wouldn't have as much work to do later.
