Well America has become over the past hundred years quite remarkable, America is a police of the world, and for all intensive purposes fights what needs to be fought, and sometimes of course what doesn’t (Vietnam). Some Americans have their own view about themselves, ranging from purely positive remarks, or of course some of them follow along this line of thinking. I wont mention which one I agree with.
“We’re the baddest-assed sons of b*tches that ever jogged in Reeboks. We’re three-quarters grizzly bear and two-thirds car wreck and descending from a stock market crash on our mother’s sides. You take your Germany, France and Spain, roll them all together and it wouldn’t give us room to park our cars. We’re the big boys, Jack, the original giant, economy-sized, new and improved butt kickers of all time. When we snort coke in Houston, people lose their hats in Cap d’Antibes. And we’ve got an American Express card credit higher than your piss-ant metric number go.
“you say our country’s never been invaded? You’re right, little buddy. Because I’d like to see the needle-d*&ed foreigners who’d have the guts to try. We drink napalm to get our hearts started in the morning. A rape and mugging is our way of saying ‘Cherrio.’ Hell can’t hold our sock-hops. We walk taller, talk louder, spit further, f%$k longer and buy more things than you know the names of. I’d rather be a junkie in a New York jail than king, queen and jack of all you Europeans. We eat little countries like this for breakfast and sh#t them out before lunch.”
P.J. O’Rourke-Holidays in Hell
Now I know P.J. was kidding when he placed this in his book, I would do the same thing if it would rile up some of the closed off minds of some foreigners. But the point in me placing this in the thread is to point out how no doubt some Americans might feel about themselves, and maybe even other countries.
This thread is intended so I can get an idea of how others feel about Americans, and how some other Americans feel about themselves. So please don’t mistake it for an outburst against other countries, it’s a quote, and not one from me, its coming from a guy who is joking about touring the world. And I don’t blame him.
