Arrogant Americans

[wonderrman]

Hello

Go to 5.54 on the YouTube video below. Its an interview with a few wanky Americans and Peter Schiff. Schiff is a perma bull so I don't really pay too much attention to what he says. Listen to the bloke on the left with the pink tie. What an arrogant bloke he is, this is the reason why the US will lose its place as the economic powerhouse of the world over the next 10 years.

Sorry but I couldn't believe this bloke and thought I must post.

haha, he sure sounds like an idiot.

"why do we have a 60 billion trade deficit"

red tie - "because we're so rich"

edit: I do enjoy watching these sort of programs though - its more entertaining watching people who are opinionated than others just umming-and-ahhing.

Sooo... We're all just "wanky Americans"???? Does that mean all Americans are arrogant, or is it just a few of us? And, why all the America bashing? Do you feel as though us Americans are all evil or something?

I love Australia, and have met many nice Australian people. It's unfortunate that a few jerks like you have to come out of the woodwork. I still love Australia and it's people, but I also love America and it's people. Yes, we do have arrogant Americans, but that doesn't mean we are all like that. I'm sure there's quite a few arrogant Aussies, as well.

Don't place everyone on one group. People are all basically the same, no matter where you go in this world.

Yanks are good at setting up web site which have computerised answering service and they think they don't need human contact and don't realise they are giving themselves a bad name such as PayPal. Xoom

We knew that's what you meant.

I wouldn't ignore Schiff though. He's been wrong so far on some specifics, but his general point has been absolutely correct.

Ignore Austrians at your peril.

I don't know much about the man so can't pass judgment. The masses see him as perma, but I guess you would when he has apparently been predicting crisis for the past 7 to 8 years. His thoughts seem right but seems his timing is just a bit out of whack.

haha That would have made for sad viewing. I like Faber though, his predictions always seem to come true, its like magic. His writings are quite interesting as well. w.

Dude it's one thread among thousands...get over it.

On so many forums there's a certain type of American that's just so precious.

Isn't that an oxyMORON??!!

Looks pretty bang on to me.

There are arrogant b@stards everywhere; nice people everywhere too. There may be different cultural anchors however.

You have to understand that 'mercins are taught to be patriotic and love their country from a very young age. That often spills over into a sense of economic invincibility. (I know this because I partly grew up there)

Aussies are acquiring the same sort jingoism by virtue of a different dynamic.

Poms have/had it for a different reason (past imperial hegemony).

We all bleed red, excrete the same malodorous substances and sweat under our arms. Yep, we're all the same.

I've found Americans to be much louder than other people for some reason.

Although, a flock of Australian backpackers with a few beers under their belt can get pretty rowdy too.

There is a general percepion of Americans being arrogant I think, and maybe it is generally true. But maybe they deserve to think they are the greatest nation and people on the planet. They have been pretty successful over the last 150 years. Maybe it depends on what 'success' is, I suppose, but by their measure, they might generally believe that.

One slightly annoying thing is when they prefix a sporting competition with 'world' when it's actually a national event.

Although, Australia has been known to do similar things. The Story Bridge Hotel in Brisbane runs the world cockroach races on each year.

wonder.

So, does that mean there are also a few Australians who are "tossers"???

BTW... I've already taken my medicine.

You must be talking about Nascar. Hell man...It IS a world event!

You're dang right I love my country. Freedom is not free. And yes...We are all the same.
