Yes, America is to blame for everything. We suck. We all get it.

I'm sorry to say but yes... It all started because of the American banks and the way a lot of American's can't keep their hands of cash whilst they can't repay their debts... So yep, all your fault... Just like how America screwed the Palestinians over Israel and their nukes (which they aren't allowed to have but with America backing them no-ones complaining) and just how they totally focked up Iraq and Afghanistan...

Off-topic: Btw, why is America whining about Iran 'supposedly' having a nuke?... Israel has one, and that country isn't allowed to have on either... I don't here the American Government about that... Maybe because of the Jewish lobbies in America?... Or the fact that America needs Israel to have a strong military presence in the Middle-East?... I sense bias...

'America kapitalism - Bluugh... you guys can't keep this way of living up forever, your paying the price, and your taking us Europeans down with us! Thanks...'

 

EDIT: My country fell 6.1% in 1 day because of 2 American banks that have money problems, they lent to much cash out to people who couldn't repay their debts... Why would those people even bother lending cash?... Can't they think straight or what...? To top that of. This was the worst day for European stocks since 9/11 and my country fell 18% since the beginning of 2008.

Since Wall Street was closed today i bloody hope the US falls more then 10% tomorrow! Sorry, im pissed right now because the US and their problems with Kapitalism failing are taking their toll on Europe and Asia too.

 


 Hey, just because I live in America doesn't mean that this is my fault. I've been trying to get the idiots in charge of my county out of office for years, but everyone else in my area falls for their bulls**t. They're practically half the bloody reason the housing market failed... damn politicians and their lies... =P

I'm not insinuating that EVERY American is stupid. It's just that there are a lot of dumb people out there... Really, more then you can imagine...

I didn't have anything to do with the recession or Palestine! I'm spending money (not on credit either! I have less than 200 dollars of credit card debt that I will pay off at the end of the month!) Plus there is this guy at the deli that I'm pretty sure has some Palestinian blood in him, and I'm usually pretty polite to the fellow, so really if you think about it I don't suck all that bad. I didn't fight in iraq either, I wasn't even IN congress when they voted on it!



You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

I am American, but America is to blame for quite a bit of this. Fortunately we have passed some legislation that will ease our dependence on foreign oil, like this for instance:

http://www.autobloggreen.com/2007/12/19/now-its-pen-on-paper-official-president-bush-signs-35-mpg-cafe/

This should help ease our national debt and put less stress on the economy, because more than just the price we pay for oil goes into buying this stuff. We have to pay all sorts of taxes and surcharges you never even see to transport, protect, drill, and invest in new oil resources.

Bottom line, the U.S. needs to focus on alleviating the ballooning national debt, otherwise things will only get worse. Pressure on China to let its currency fluctuate more will certainly help is well, since those problems are interrelated.

Investment in more efficient or green energy, like nuclear power, geothermal energy, wind, etc. will greatly help as well, since a great deal of our problems involve energy.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Americans are stupid, trust me, I am one. We know less foreign languages than the rest of the world's citizens, our high school students perform less well measured by objective criteria than many foreign countries, and we elected someone like George Bush to office, TWICE.

I think we are getting smarter, but we are pretty damn dumb, especially the South (I live in the South).
