That they are a free society.
They went to Iraq because of 9/11
Their job is to spread freedom everywhere
We are in an economic recovery
Obama, Obama, Obama (Need I say More?)
You show mercy to countries (liberate them) by drone bombing them and killing millions of civilians
Must defend Israel.. Must defend Israel.. Must defend Israel (Yet nobody knows why exactly)

Re: Dumb things Americans belive in
Nobody knows why squirrels turn around while crossing a road if a car comes. All we need to understand is that they truly believe in what they're doing.

i can understand that i'm going to look like an idiot if i say the sun revolves around the earth... but who really cares if i know if i know that judaism is older than christianty and islam? some of these are silly.
tbh, i still swear there are still monsters under my bed.
Re: Dumb things Americans belive in
I'm just tired of all the America/American bashing threads, be it humorous in intent. Even WITH all the allegedly stupid people, it is the most powerful/successful nation in the world, imagine what it makes of the rest (esp those pointing fingers).
Re: Dumb things Americans belive in
^ couldn't agree more. i'm a little irritated with not the thread so much, but more so the article.

Re: Dumb things Americans belive in
fuck this america hating shit. look at the nonsense the rest of the world believes.
brb, drinking tiger penis tea to cure arthritis. lolz. brb, elephant tusks bring magical powers brb, albinos are the devil's children brb, ad nauseum.....
that say, and I'll stand corrected if I'm shown otherwise, but according to Islam, Obama is a Muslim. So uh, take that ;)
Re: Dumb things Americans belive in
At Kamal-Right there with ya bud! :) The F'ng hating has gotten as old as the current state of pop music. Constantly blasting on the radio, not much variety but somehow seems to keep perpetuating. We got the point people. A lot of the world looks at the Americans as dumbasses, but thats as ignorant as me thinking all Germans wear lederhosen. Haters- Get off your soap box, go outside, put on a blindfold and play in traffic please. I Love my country...America!
Re: Dumb things Americans belive in
whilst I'm agreeing on the anti american sentiment getting old, in defence of the OP, the newsweek article itself is named "Dumb things Americans believe" so its hard not to title the thread the same way!
Re: Dumb things Americans belive in
yes but the fact that the article is being posted again to show how dumb americans are, in itself is getting frustratingly old.
Re: Dumb things Americans belive in
America FTW!! :vuvu:

[QUOTE] Even years after claims that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction or had links to the September 11 attacks had been debunked, not all Americans were convinced. In a [URL="http://www.newsweek.com/2007/09/04/dunce-cap-nation.html"]June 2007 NEWSWEEK poll[/URL], four years after the invasion of Iraq, 41 percent believed Saddam was involved in 9/11—even though President Bush had [URL="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/3118262.stm"]said otherwise[/URL] as early as September 2003. Wild views on 9/11 are in fact still rampant. In September 2009, Public Policy Polling [URL="http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/surveys/2009_Archives/PPP_Release_National_9231210.pdf"]found[/URL] that a quarter of Democrats suspected Bush had something to do with the attacks.

check this out:
dumb things the Koreans believe in:
Kimchi cures everything don't wash your hair before a big test, otherwise your studying will wash away too it's ok to live with your parents until you get married you have to be at work before your boss and you can't leave before him foreigners can't marry Koreans because they will taint the blood pool Korean language is better than all other languages because it can express emotions better If you eat dog meat it will make you fertile, but only if you beat the dog to death because hitting it releases the good chemicals in its muscles Artists and musicians have shitty jobs and shame their families, you should only be a business man. Only the male passes on his genetic code to children
Those Krazy Koreans! I could add more, really you could do this for any nationality.

Re: Dumb things Americans belive in
there's a big difference between the things you mentioned about korea and the things in the article. this is mostly cultural stuff and you cant blame anyone for his cultural values. the articles just unveils plain lack of general knowledge. or else i could add sth like that: americans allow you to buy or own deathly guns just like that but you cant even drink liquor in public...
Re: Dumb things Americans belive in
shooting guns in public while drinking liquor is awesome.

you can't be serious about even suggesting that this facet is an acceptable part of someone's (or anyone's for that matter) "culture".

I didn't realize beating a domesticated animal to death, cooking it and then feeding on it was "ok" in ANY culture, just to get a few athletic "swimmers", all in the name of procreation.

Re: Dumb things Americans belive in
Sorry about the thread but you guys should chill out. I thought it's funny and passed it along, I didn't add my own opinion to the post because I'm neutral on the topic.
Besides I'm Asian, I've probably copped more 'hate and racial bullshit' than most people on this board.
BTW none of you noticed I spelt 'believe' wrongly in the title. :p

I agree with this...most of these things are part of Korea's history...beliefs that developed over a long period of time almost like traditions...while the list of US shit is just pretty stupid really. Also I think this US bashing is good...so some people get of their high horse...every nation is a steaming pile of shit and I really don't think there is anything to be proud of regardless...if you are White, Black, Hispanic or Asian...or if you're English, Scottish, American or Japanese...its all the same made up pile of shit for faggots to masturbate over...you should be proud of your family, friends and your own achievements. Being proud of your country is plain retarded like...being proud you have blue or greed eyes???

seriously? no really ..... almost all of the people who have bashed the US have probably never been here. This mentality of keeping your head in the sand and farting opinions from the other end about the stupidity of a country, thanks to a handful of retarded people is just seriously bizarre.
And what was posted about Korea is just one of those examples about the stupidity prevailing in other countries.
Just because a million people in a community/country inherit a stupid belief shouldn't be a free-ticket to making it an acceptable cultural facet just because the mass of a population lives by it. Are you trying to tell me that IF the entire population of the US were to step up and make it a part of the belief system to do all of the stupid things that most of you on here are bashing, you would be here to defend it? Seriously bro, get real.
