To suggest that the rest of the world should be thankful for american over-consumerism is ridiculous. I guess we should thank them for climate change, high oil prices, the current recession and wars in the middle east too then.

Asia and Europe contribute to global warming as well in a major way. The more industrialized those nations get the worse the CO2 emissions will get. High oil prices are not just an American problem but an Asian problem as well. The American people are not to blame for the recession. Blame the banks and the community reinvestment act for causing subprime levels to go through the roof. America is not alone in the worlds problems.

Before I am booed off sounding anti american,I suggest you do some research youself. Sub prime mortgage crisis is what kicked off this huge crisis. The banks, all of which were responsible for this crisis- were primarily american- over 120+ failed banks in the US the past year. Americans have the highest per capita fuel consumption the world- hovering near 25 barrels of oil per capita per annum. how about asian giants like India and China.. its somwehre near 0.5-3 barrels per capita. Guess which country didnt sign the kyoto protocol: USA. Guess which country contibutes the most to pollution. USA.  To say that americans themselves are not responsible for their own banks is ludicrious. You cant excuse ignorance. Wars in the middle east are partly responsible for the high oil prices. And guess who has fought the last 2 wars in the middle east. USA.

So before you go blaming Asia and europe I suggest you read up a lil on your own backyard.

I basically just told you that the subprime crisis that was caused by the community reinvestment act enacted by Jimmy Carter. I don't need to research this any more, because i've already done it. The banks accepted the deal and overinflated the market. Americans have the highest per capita fuel consumption because our electric car market was destroyed by special interest oil companies. Our MPG should have average over 70/100 miles per electrical charge because the electric car patent was made in america and destroyed by the oil companies. As I said...our automobile industry was sabotaged, thus making American people look like slaves. China has made a deal with Venezuela and other parts of South America to take up a large quantities of oil that we were once getting. China has huge pollution problems as well. Wars in the middle east are not raising oil prices. It's making sure we have MORE oil to consume. The oil companies who take over inflated the prices beyond demand thus the reason for the huge drop in gasoline demand before Bush left office. America may be a great disturbance in the middle east.....but I think you should learn a little lesson. Warring in the middle east doesn't help America, but a few wealthy business interests who profit off of war and happen to by chummy with those in power (IE: Bush). 

I already know about things in my own backyard and your media is just as biased as ours. If you don't think you're anti-American you kinda are. You need to learn to blame the proper people instead of blaming the population whom are controlled by them. I blame your media for why you guys are mainly anti-American and I blame my media for feeding us bullshit about europe. As for consumption Europe has a higher population of people coupled with highly industrialized nation, therefore you need to take some responsibility with global warming as well. Secondly if I were you I would calm down, because if the American dollar were ever to fall the Euro goes with it.
