Yeah, and look at this shit storm that the greatest generation got us into. I dont see any way that we could have avoided the events following WW II.

Really?
We couldn't teach US kids that the period they lived in was an aberration simply due to the location of the US?Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Ist there any nation that actually likes Americans, or has a warm view of them?
I'd say that we in general like the Americans. I personally have just about only met nice peeps from the US.Of course there's obnoxity everywhere and in 300 mio there must be plenty but I'd not make blanket statements.

so have i, i even have some distant relatives in america, but we still stereotype, Americans badly.
But we do tend to steryotipe ourselves to, by regions. dolenska my region - drunks What do you get when a steam roller rols over an orange, - orange juce, and if it rolls over a dolenc - cviek (its our wine) tajerska and prekmurska- also drunks what does a tajerc say if a fly falls in to his beer. spit it out primorska -fishing drunks A gorenc wanted to fit in with the tajerc folk so he had an operation to have some of his brain removed the surgeons knife slipped and took out too much when he woke he said, Ma otja, kje pa sem? (primorski accent) gorenjska -greedy bastards Anything from drying toilet paper, to comming home finding his wife in bead with a another man, his daughter with 2, and his son doing heroine, but freaking out when the living room thermostat was on full but nobody in there. Capitol- frogsWhy are jokes about gorences so easy to understand, so ljubljanans can understand them too. Our former yougoslavian borther nations Coratians - well just about anything we dont get along A slovenian and a croatian make a bet who can tell the most incredible storry. The croatian starts long ago there lived an honest croatian. Stop says the slovenc you won the bet. bosnians - stupid tones of mujo and haso jokesMujo what would you do if it was the end of the world said haso. Mujo: well id pack my bags and goo to germany. Monetenegro - lazy tones of lazy jokes The 10 montenegran commandments 1.Man is borne tired and lives to rest2.Love your bed as you do yourself 3.Rest douring the day so you can sleep at night 4.dont work, working kills. 5.If you see someone resting go help him 6.dont do something today if yo ucan do it tomorow 7.Do less then you are able, and what you are able have others do it 8.In coolnes there is safety, nobody died from resting 9.Working makes you ill, dont die young 10.If you want to work, wait a while it will pass Serbs - well we kind of like them we joke about building a tunnel under croatia Americans, well the obvious stupid and fat, oh and dont forget the stupid , when we read about something stupid that happened in america, we say only in america But we dont have to make up jokes about you cause Americans always have something ready to make us laugh.

I always thought the greatest generation was in reference to the heros of WWII.
Not the scum natzi bastards that started war and implimented the holocaust. I do not blame the men and women who served or sacrificed serving in the armed forces or on the home front of war time America. If not for them I truly believe our country would be worse off. America has been at war for over 10 years and still are engaged in Afghanistan. Yet WWII was over in 5 1/2 years. It is the previous 2 generations that have sold out American factories for cheaper labor, liqudated our manufacturing and tooling and allowed the banks to suck the economy into ruin.It is the current generation that is imo reaping what was sown. Everyone gets a ribbon, everyone is entitled. Young adults do not figure out they are full of shit until it is to late. A generation of neck beards 30 somethings living at home with there pentioned babyboomer parents. Isnt that special. "You were not there for the beginning. You will not be there for the end. Your knowledge of what is going on can only be superficial and relative" William S. Burroughs

I always thought the greatest generation was in reference to the heros of WWII. Huh, you're right. I didn't know that was a thing. I didn't really know who Phat was referring to.
It is the previous 2 generations that have sold out American factories for cheaper labor, liqudated our manufacturing and tooling and allowed the banks to suck the economy into ruin. Yeah, that's pretty much who I was referring to. I suppose if I had to maintain what I said, I could say that the greatest generation is what lead to those two, so there's still a chain of blame, but I don't really care enough to belabor the point.
Everyone gets a ribbon, everyone is entitled. Young adults do not figure out they are full of shit until it is to late. A generation of neck beards 30 somethings living at home with there pentioned babyboomer parents. Isnt that special. And then they vote to maintain it. Tsk tsk.

The US leads in the one category that matters: economy. The EU has a slight edge, but if we break it down by country, it isn't even close. If memory serves, if California was a country of its own, it would be the fifth largest economy in the world.
So you have to put up with our stupid asses because we has the moneys.

Says the country in debt up to its ears, why dont you run along and ask china for another lone Thing is when the world stops using the dollar as the world currency Americas economy is done for. Its why you went to Iraq, not to get the oil but to make sure, Iraq's silly idea of selling the oil in euros is stopped.

Not about money but stupidity, bigotry and general obnoxiousness. When you are the world's top economy, those things tend to get ignored. When you are able to spend more on defense than the rest of the world combined, that also helps.

If we are so rich, why do we have so many poor, unemployed, underemployed and unable to get healthcare? What good is it being the worlds best economy and richest nation when it only benefits a handful of people and does nothing for its citizens?

because of skyrocketing economic inequality where CEO's make way more than any other country, while bottom workers aren't even paid a living wage.
