I'm American, and I was just curious as how others from around the world feel about Americans. I want honest opinions (please don't insult me though).

Thanks to everyone.

I'm fascinated by this, as today, teacher's aren't allowed to raise their voice (it seems) to reprimand a student, unless they want to hear from the student's parent. I witnessed quite a bit of abuse in my grade school, of course back then, teachers were permitted to slap kids around (early 80's). But thinking back, it just seems so barbaric and abusive on an obscene level.

So did you witness a lot of abuse in school? Or were you lucky enough to attend a grade/junior highschool where physical abuse was NOT allowed?

It happened to me once. I don't know why he was having "it" though, but he was uncomfortable about it.

I looked away and hold covered my mouth to stop from laughing.

They say that both have fair skin and somthing about there eyes, but I am pretty dark, and my eyes are pretty round, many times i ve been called a mix, with mexican. What do you guys think? No unneeded stuff either

Ove the years,I've heard several comedians on TV tell all kinds of mother-in-law jokes & stories,but never any father-in-law jokes.How did mothers-in-law get a bad rap regarding mother-in-law jokes?It seems like there's no bad rap for fathers-in-law.In my family,all us in-laws get along.If possible,I would prefer answers from married people.

I get so tired of it. All anyone wants to talk about is a dumb assed game with robotic looking idiots chasing a ball that won't even roll straight. It's noisy and barbaric. You'd think people would find something more intelligent to watch on tv and to talk about.

I don't really, unless it's obvious. Sometimes it isn't. I just find that some people think minorties think all white people discriminate against them. Well, how did it become this way? How are minorities supposed to know if someone is really discriminating against them, or they plain just don't like them? Seriously.

When you're taking a shortcut across town, your luxurious car broke down in the middle of nowhere and all you know is that you're in a bad neighborhood now (a ghetto with notorious gang activities). You know you maybe in great danger. Unfortuniately, you are alone, late at night 10:15pm. Worse yet, you are not a triple A club member (cause you didn't think you will need their service for your nearly brand new car.)
There will be another 50 min drive to go home.

Just when you're about to pick up your cell phone and call police for help. All of a sudden, there is one weird looking guy stopped his old truck, offering you a favor to drive you to the nearby garage for some emergency towing services....

How would you handle this situation?

Late at night 11:30 pm, in a parking lot outside a liquor store (closed) where no other stores close by, 3 Big guys are beating up a drunk guy very badly.
You are in your car and the ONLY witness. Nevertheless, you are unable to help the poor guy to fight the three big guys. You don't know where the nearby Police station is. You didn't have a cell phone with you. You know that even if you're manged to call police, they won't be able to arrive in the next 30 min...

How would you handle this situation??

Everybody wants to feel as though they have contributed to our culture, there is nothing wrong with that! But why do black people want to start a new trend, word, craze, every two months? Like, they say they Americans don't let them fit in, but insist on having their own way of dress, mannerisms and dialect, WAY different than ALL assimilated, second-generation ethnicities in the U.S., and when someone like Eminem comes along they dislike him (And no, that's not just the way rap is). And the funniest thing by far is, their "white women we rule" thing...lol Even though it is funny, date who you want, but realize two things...firstly, compared to other second-generation ethnicities in America, by percentage of said ethnicities IN America, dating and marrying white women, they're WAY at the bottom of the RULE list...secondly, realize everyone dates. Why so much emphasis on being the "coolest" or "tightest" or whatever word you will make up next week for what you want to people in Ame

My top ten list is based on the number of good songs recorded by each artist.or group. (That's the number beside each name.)

The Joe Marzen Musical Hall of Fame (JMMHF)

Top Ten List

(As of 10/16/06)

The Beatles - 313
Paul Simon - 219
Beach Boys - 88
Stevie Wonder - 74
David Bowie - 61
Bob Dylan - 58
The Rolling Stones - 44
John Lennon - 34
Elton John - 29
Jimi Hendrix - 28


(Note: The Paul Simon category includes recordings from Simon's years with Simon and Garfunkel. I did this because Garfunkel is a glorified back up singer who never contributed anything of value. Had I seperated the two Paul Simon would still retain his number two position on the chart.)

As far as similarities, Blacks and gays are seen as things to target in society, but gay is less harsh than being called a ni#@%r or burning crosses (a sacraligious act), being not only beat, but lynchd over a long recent period of time is not fair.I've come to a conclusion why people (mostly white that start these rumors) percieve blacks as gay.Society needed a new target to forget what they did, instead of resolving the previous issue of the black community with solutions.Is that why men immulate women, because they think they look like men.So, they feel they must be more than half of a women than a man.Thus, think men could look feminine, since some black women look masculine in white men' eyes, even though bw don't claim to be a man and live as women.WM percieve this vice versa with finding some black men as more feminine than masculine.Thus, connecting gay to black.Ps. Black women have a little more muscle in arms than white women, but that doesn't make us your subject for judging
