Making fun of soccer/football is cansidered terrible, but making fun of American football is not
Making fun of America is good sport, but if I posted a thread in Flame Wars titled "Europeans" it would be terribly racist.
Its not really a CC thing, its more of a society thing. If its against the group with the most power, its not racism, only if its against a minority, it is.

I see your point, but how would bashing Europe be considered bashing a minority, or even racist for that matter. Most Americans ancestors came from Europe, so race really isn't an issue. And I don't think Europe would be a minority compared to the US. I don't know what Europes population is but it probably isn't much smaller than the US, might even be bigger. Europe is also very cultuarally diverse, like the US. If someone posted a thread in the Flame Wars called Europeans, I don't think it would be thought of as worse than the Americans thread. Now if you posted a thread called "N***ers" (horrible slang term for black people to those who have no imagination) or something as heinous as that, then yes, you'd get a lot of grief
kclborat wrote:i just read the thread. your point in this thread is horribly wrong. there is no connection between gay bashing (what you did in the other thread and got rightfully flamed for) and unsubstantiated claims that are made solely to be obscene and crude. how is saying that muhammed had a cock in his mouth when there is no proof of him being gay supporting being gay? it doesnt. all it is is the common middle-school high-school insult of "dude you like the cock" and shit like that.

Actually the European Union has got close to 500 million citizens against the 300 million of the US. The European continent is much more densely populated than America as well.
Also remember that in Europe there are many races although they all fall under the umbrella term European. An ethnic Portuguese is different from an ethnic Finn for example, but they are both European.
Actually both Europe and America have positive and negative aspects. I would rather live in Europe as I think it's a better place to live in (safer, more democratic), but in America it is much easier to get rich for example. I know that not everyone will agree with this.
About Jamie's original post...I have to say he makes a point. Although many people say they aren't against homosexuality they would feel offended if you call them homosexual (as if it's a negative thing), so it's just politically correct bullshit at the end of the day.

The US is more powerful than the combined forces of all of Europe?? Excluding the use of nuclear weapons, I'm not sure the US would win, if every country in Europe declared war on us.
We would kick ass. Besides England, No one in Europe has an army

Hmm...first of all it's Great Britain or the UK if you prefer but not England alone. Also you underestimate France, but I guess you are an anglophone that hates the French? :p If Germany wanted it would have a very strong army, and as I said before it depends if you are considering Russia as part of Europe.

Ruben Cassar wrote:DIRESTRAITS wrote:Why do you think Europe is more democratic and safer than America? And good point in your last paragraph. I totally agree
It is definitely much safer. Less fire arms, less criminal activity and violent crimes. It's a question of statistics.
More democratic...many reasons. If you look at how the EU works one of its disadvantages might be that it is too democratic! Legislation and changes are implemented too slowly because every member state must agre with a law or it won't be implemented.
Also we are against capital punishment in Europe and that for me is one thing I don't like about the US, although that might fall under human rights I guess.

THE FRENCH ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Germany can't have an army. It was part of their surrender after WWII. And Russia's military all got sold to Whatthefuckistan after the Berlin Wall fell. Basically it would be England vs. America, and we all know how that turned out the first two times

The death penalty is needed, in my opinion, and makes things much safer. My uncle is a prosecuter in San Diego County and tries cases involving Gang murders. He says that without the death penalty, these crimes would be unpunishable, because the gang members are fine with going to jail.
Also, what are the reasons Europe is more Democratic? I want to know

What's wrong with the French? They are well organised, they have nuclear weapons...more than the UK have actually. They have good planes and a decent navy.
I said that Germany could have an army if it wanted to. Believe me they could have nuclear weapons in a couple of weeks if they wanted to as well.
And you are definitely underestimating Russia. They are recovering and in the past years their military machine has got stronger and better organised. Also don't forget that Russia has many more nuclear weapons than the US has.
Btw, UK and US will never fight each other. What two times are you referring to?

And any first world country could have a sizable army within a year if the really wanted to. The point is Germany doesn't want to.
I know that Russia has more nukes than us, but nukes will never be used again except maybe by terrorists. And I don't think they have the technology to try and take us.
And I'm reffering to the Revolution and The War of 1812.

I'm racist you said (homosexualty isn't a race by the way). I was called every filthy thing there is to be called, for speaking ill of homosexuals. So, after all of that grief I took for everything I wrote in that thread, I wrote a thread that implied Muhammad might have been gay. Now some of the same people that bashed me for calling homosexaulity wrong, bashed me for saying Muhammad was gay. If there is nothing wrong with being gay, and it is ok, and accepted to be gay, then what exactly is wrong with a revered religious leader being merely implied as gay, without actually being so. Alot of people are speaking out both sides of their face. Either it is ok to be gay, or it isn't. The person that is, or isn't gay, should make no difference as to whether it is alright to be gay, or not.
