why are usa people ignorant?

Bronze hamy?! Who has the money to buy the bronzing material in the first place?! Try toilet paper. It's cheaper then bronze and it's recyclable.

Though since she's a flaming troll, she just might ignite the paper cocoon and spontaneously combust.

You mean as opposed to embarrassingly stupid, like you?

I'd say we do just to piss you off . . . and it works, too, apparently.

The funny part is Hamy posted at 2:00 in the morning and expected a rapid response. I guess they don't understand time zones here she lives.

"Ironically and tragically, if you want people to respond to what you say, say something outrageously negative," says Clifford Nass, a communications professor at Stanford University.

That would be a shame.

It's not so much that they are proud of the ignorance that exists, for whatever measure does exist. It's that they have had their collective ego stroked for so long and in such an extravagant and salacious fashion that "they" just appear ignorant.

The term 'ugly American' didn't just appear out of thin air.

Damned with faint praise!

Why can't hamy spell words correctly or use proper capitalization?

Speaking of ignorant Americans, guess who pops up.

Sorry I can't I'm too stupid.

Yep, Obamabots are proud of their personal stupidity and the stupidity of the
administration they have empowered to rule over them. Very sad, but true.

I didn't know what Hamy was referring to till I saw this:

And now you know.

Yes and we were "three years late" (by your measure) getting into WWI as well. Both actions were mistakes. We had no interest whatever in who won the struggle for dominance in Europe early in the 20th century, and the underlying competition for colonies and expanded empire that was behind it all.

One of the many unhappy results of WWI was Britain's use of Japan to (as they imagined it) have the Japanese Navy take the German island colonies in the Pacific and help suppress German naval operations there. This was done despite contemporary U.S. objections. The result was the start of the Japanese Pacific Empire that later took Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaya from Britain and attacked us at Pearl Harbor.

Another unhappy direct result of British & French colonial campaigns in WWI was the destabliizing of the Islamic world and the development of Islamist fanaticism there. We are still dealing with that mess.

Vietnam was in part our own mistake. After defeating Japan and negotiating the removal of their army from Vietnam we should have prevented the French colonial masters from returning. However we were distracted by concerns with the Soviet Union and the then ongoing struggle in China, as well as political struggles between left and right in France.

Perhaps I have lost sight of the theme of this thread. Was it "why are Europeans so greedy, ignorant and hypocritical or was it .....

and where might you be from Hamy, or have you done a hit and run and we won't hear from you again?

Could be a sting operation by the right wing to create anger towards outsiders.

Could be part of a vast left wing conspiracy.

I wonder why you are assuming that Hamy is an European. I'm quite sure he/she isn't..

There's your ignorant for ya!

That was one pretty good summation of European colonial aggression screwing up the whole world for a century or 2, george.
