You are unable to sift the informational wheat from the chaff?From the article:
"Despite the occasional eye-rolling, and complete inability to understand why anyone would vote for George W. Bush (twice)," is not why we're here.
Being implied a fool by a fella who has wasted his potential, has an existential crisis every week or so, refuses to listen to advice and is the biggest joke on the forum since Eminence is the best complement I'll get all day.
I'm pretty sure the brother isn't really an alcoholic. He just can't stand to be around this guy without at least a buzz every time he sees him.That guy sounds fun at parties. What a #### article.
i knew itOnly 1% of people know #7!
I've taken to referring to the Weather Channel as the Disaster Channel.Only 1% of people know #7!
I didn’t even read the article to be honest (or even click the link), I was just responding with clickbaity shticki knew it
(i also know that you didn't think i knew it)
so my paranoid shtick went for naught - i ####### knew it would!I didn’t even read the article to be honest (or even click the link), I was just responding with clickbaity shtick
And factually inaccurate. The Russians didn't "mostly beat Hitler". Revisionist history.Stupid list
Why? Just because you don't agree with the premise? Most of his points, I've experienced first hand. Our view of ourselves as a country vs what the rest of the world thinks of us (when they do) is very different. There's a reason why we get labeled 'ugly americans'.Stupid list
True. But I would argue his points are more true now than when the article was written.11. Americans often don't look at the dates of articles and as a result often share outdated material.
the rest of the world can kiss my hairy American ?? ###Why? Just because you don't agree with the premise? Most of his points, I've experienced first hand.

Because it's a asinine sweeping generalization with no way to quantify it.Why? Just because you don't agree with the premise? Most of his points, I've experienced first hand.

Yeah, probably most of them. Not #2 though. People are definitely paying a lot of attention to us now.True. But I would argue his points are more true now than when the article was written.
The irony in your post is strong. Thanks for proving my point.the rest of the world can kiss my hairy American ?? ###
What's so great about it?Great article. Sad, but true. The current state of things emphasizes this even more.

FAIL.I was hoping for a fun facts article
Chicago is the birthplace to the ferris wheel
The Statue of Liberty technically is located in New Jersey
Philadelphia was the first capital of the US
Miniature golf was invented in Georgia
Although grizzly bears are the state animal of California, they haven't been residents of the state in almost a century
Things like that...
No at all, just reflection. Let's just appreciate we see our country and culture differently.
how do you know for sure that we see things differently? we may be a lot closer than you are allowing here.No at all, just reflection. Let's just appreciate we see our country and culture differently.
True, context is often lost with the digital key punching.how do you know for sure that we see things differently? we may be a lot closer than you are allowing here.
i will agree with the , of course.
12. Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who's done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more11. Americans often don't look at the dates of articles and as a result often share outdated material.
How so? Germany lost significantly more troops, resources, and machinery in the East than the West. If Hitler doesn't invade Russia, we don't sniff a conventional victory in Europe.And factually inaccurate. The Russians didn't "mostly beat Hitler". Revisionist history.
I'm familiar - Stalingrad, tank battle in Kursk, etc.How so? Germany lost significantly more troops, resources, and machinery in the East than the West. If Hitler doesn't invade Russia, we don't sniff a conventional victory in Europe.
Brilliant rebuttal. Really, top notch.Should rename the article to 5 things the author didn't know because he's a moron and 5 things the author is wrong about because he is a moron.
2012 was a simpler time.True. But I would argue his points are more true now than when the article was written.
I don't have all day to address each one, but I'll skip over the low hanging fruit like Americans think we are overall healthy, I mean we had a first lady that made it her mission to address CHILDHOOD obesity for Christ sake. Instead I'll go with how fascinated this this guy was with because someone in a foreign country figured out how to install wifi and a disco ball in his taxi as compared to technology in the US.Brilliant rebuttal. Really, top notch.
