A safe space for Europeans to vent their spleen's about all the bad, terrible, horrible things America has done, and continues to do.

American teens are 82x more likely to be shot to death than their peers in the rest of the developed world. Funny, right?

Not at all. America has done wonderful things.

They did defeat Hitler. All on their own. With no help from anybody. Amurka won the war right???
And they taught those pesky Japs a lesson. They are the only country to blast a city with a nuke. Not once, but TWICE. USA !!! USA !!!
And by standing up to the commies in Vietnam, they saved the world from communism. Fact.
And they put men on the Moon. We would all have sticky saucepans, if it wasn't for that.

And they gave us wonderful works of art, with big square patches of paint, and potato prints of Marilyn Monroe and coke cans. Inspiring.

Keep it up murka !! My spleen is fine.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

What exactly is so bad about America? Nobody is more laid back than the Mexicans. Canadians are cultured and civil. Chile has the spectacular Andes. Then there is that natural wonder that is the Brazilian Amazon River. OK, there also is Las Vegas, but who am I to impose my values on morons?

I never understood why anyone needs to vent their spleen. Obviously they must have some sort of blocked duct or something. The only thing I ever have to vent is my bladder and bowels. OK sometimes my nose, particularly when the fucking oak trees are shitting pollen all over the show.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
