2. I'd think it would be a GOOD thing to know what the rest of the world

thinks about us. You know, foreign policy matters n' stuff.

19. They think just like Americans... if it wasn't for the media and Dibold

distorting facts. I bet 60% of Americans really disapprove/hate bush*

[LostInAnomie]

5. Everyone except rabid pedophiles, and freepers...

... Oops! I forgot they are one and the same.

[MoonRiver]

11. That poster is representative of why Europeans feel the way they do

about US. What a fitting first reply to the thread.

[Fenris]

20. What poster?

:nuke:;)

[LostInAnomie]

31. HA HA! How did my message not get deleted?

I thought it would for sure.

[MoonRiver]

32. Probably just a simple oversight

The mods were really busy here so it's understandable! ;)

[frictionlessO]

36. Well looks like the truth to me! n/t

44. lol

[imax2268]

10. this show rocks already...

this is great...the righties should be watching this...

[MoonRiver]

12. Do you really want 10,000 jellied heads exploding at once?

[frictionlessO]

17. Wow looks lke this thread got hit by a crash and burn...

How was that pizza anyway? Crispy crunchy or softly soggy?

[MoonRiver]

18. Yes, but the show is good. Although I've got my doubts about Friedman

He's trying to be fair but I sense he leans right.

[DancingBear]

22. He doesn't lean right - he tends at times to fall over right

As evidenced by his discussions with the French anti-war group.

That said, kudos to The Discovery Channel for actually showing the US what the rest of the thinking world thinks about us.

This must be pissing the freeps off - lots of "deleted messages" in this thread. :)

[MoonRiver]

23. Yep. Another failed hijacking. Took a few down with him,

but the thread still stands! :dem:

[frictionlessO]

35. Yee Haw!

Imbeciles!

[da_chimperor]

21. That's a butt-load of deleted messages.

:wow:

[TWiley]

24. That is a ROYAL Butt-load of deleted messages

I wonder what the posters beef was?

Probably that we are not being "patriotic" enough and should support the bushtapo.

[MoonRiver]

25. I might get deleted for repeating this, but he said:

"Who the fuck cares what the Europeans think?" Just your run of the mill knuckle dragger with a grand total of 6 posts.
:rofl:

[TWiley]

28. So, it IS a retarded variation of "Patriotism" then.

I thought I felt the breeze from a frenzied flag waver.

[MoonRiver]

29. I'm sure that was the ditto head's underlying motivation.

But what resulted was a idiotic outburst. Just couldn't contain it's little frenzied self.

[TWiley]

30. He probably looks like a blurr when he dances.

Well, off to watch the show.

[kliljedahl]

34. I thought it was a fart

My bad, must have been a breeze.

26. I think it's a combo of the discovery channel (which imparts knowledge)

talking about Europe (which is full of pinko, America-hating homo pot smokers) :eyes: in the same title. These things just set them off.

[TWiley]

27. Isn't he the guy that screwed up "Why do the Muslims Hate us?"

He kind of coined the lame idea of "they hate our way of life" explaination if I remember right.

[frictionlessO]

33. The freepers hate us for our freedoms.

They despise Europe for their liberties.

Apparently they're ok with hypocritical cultural warfare.

C'mon and just start doing what you really want freeply freakers. You know that you really have one objective concerning anyone who is not almost exactly like yourselves.

You will convert us.
If that doesn't work
you will incarcerate us.
If that fails (it will)
you will kill us.

Thats what you want... all because of your fanatical extremist position on god and government. Thanks for wanting to make the world suffer for your twisted fucked up beliefs. There is now no difference between you and an Islamic fundamentalist praying for terrorist attacks, and the day is probably not to far off when you psychos will be indistinguishable from Muslim terrorists except for the color of your skins. Which is what those fuckers wanted all along. Congratulations to yours and their victory, I'm sure whatever evil little demigod you all actually worship has been in a state of perpetual orgasm since your precious Caligula incarnate took office.

Hey seriously, thanks for electing the worst environmental disaster to ever strike this once gorgeous planet. I hope you all enjoy the mercury sandwich....

:rant:

There now you can all go back and continue to support the destruction of humanity... stupid fuckers.

[earth mom]

50. Excellent Post! Bravo! eom

[frictionlessO]

51. Oh I was in a vile mood last night! I have to post a rant like that every

now and then or I break out in postules from taking in all the vitriolic spewings of the rapture right.

Thank you though... Im glad someone read it and wasn't totally offended.

Peace!:toast:

[SammyWinstonJack]

53. Right the Fu*k On!

:applause:

[frictionlessO]

54. Ahh yer makin' me blush...

:blush:

just got into that kinda space is all. Thanks.

[oasis]

37. Europeans hate the Chimperor. Add to the list folks on most continenents.

He's even losing his grip on many of the 60 million dumbasses who voted for him.

[Ladyhawk]

39. Yeah, what's so remarkable about that?

I hate him, too. :)

[muriel_volestrangler]

52. An example (and this comes from a Republican pollster)

in a Murdoch-owned paper, in a country that supposedly had support for the Iraq war.

And it gets worse, much worse. Our 30 swing voters were given “people meters” — small, handheld dials that they turned up or down to register their second-by-second reaction to speeches, news clips or party political broadcasts. Up is good. Down is bad.

We showed them the first few moments of the recent White House press conference where President Bush and Mr Blair stood side-by-side and talked about “a clear way forward” in Iraq. The dials plummeted. Never in 17 years of moderating people-meter sessions have I seen an audience react so negatively even before the first word had been spoken. Every dial fell.

I can see it now: Lib Dem posters plastered throughout traditional Labour constituencies of a smiling Tony Blair looking wistfully at a smirking George W. Bush over a simple four-word slogan: “Need we say more?” Trust me, it would work.

38. Excellant show

Europeans seem so civilized. They love their welfare state, they'd rather spend their money on 'babies than bombs'

Very interesting how anti-bush the Germans are.. and for good reason..they know a fascist when they see one, they learned the hard way.

[MoonRiver]

40. It was very depressing to contrast the civilized and rational existance

Europeans have with this insane place. :cry:

[kerry-is-my-prez]

41. This show is now repeating - looks good

n/t

[JamboGuide]

42. They are soooooooo NAIVE!!

They ONLY hate Bush and his policies, but NOT the COUNTRY (ie pop culture, way of life,people, etc). Somone should tell them about Dominionists, Virginia, Kansas, pharmacists refusing to dispense meds. They have NOOOOOOOOOOO IDEA that this country is a SEMI-Christo/Fascist state.

[lonestarnot]

43. Have to give up my list to check it out if it isn't over.

[DemonFighterLives]

45. That was pretty good

If the questioner wouldn't have been a W suckup it could have been much better. Most of us here already know what the rest of the world thinks of our little emperor.
Too bad the Muslim girls were just as deluded as the warmonger. Osama is there hero. Here I thought W and Ossie were on the same side. Oh, Ossie did want us out of Saudi Arabia,which we did.

:shrug:

[ConsAreLiars]

46. Super Website: "Discover What the World Thinks About U.S."

http://www.watchingamerica.com/

It compiles and translates news articles about the US and US Government actions, using sources from all around the world. The top of the main page has recent headlines and links to the full articles; further down you can choose countries and get a more in depth view of how their press is covering US imperialism and the rise of fascism in the US.

[bloom]

48. thanks for the link

looks interesting.

[bloom]

47. Quite the Republican POV

I thought, If anything it would reinforced Republican's hatred of Europeans - "They are stopping US companies from monopolizing, they are refusing to sell US cosmetics with neurotoxins and cancer-causing agents" - with Friedman suggesting that the EU is setting the rules for global trade - "how dare they"

"How dare they have money for health-care and day-care instead of spending it all on defense like we do.... And the US defending them - and they think we are the dangerous ones."

It's funny there were so many deleted messages - that would be just the kind of person to eat that up. The people who don't like Europeans already. And Friedman - while he played nice - did not really try to give legitimacy to the European POV.

[Khaotic]

49. Friedman's a hack and the Discovery Channel is blindly patriotic

That's the way I see it.

The anti-american sentiment is in Friedman's piece to make one of the first official cases for the neocons as to why we shouldn't reach out to them.

The part out the Muslim girls was over the top. I don't doubt that there are Muslim's in France that support OBL, but he made it seem like he randomly picked two girls and that chances are most Muslims in France back OBL.

Don't you see ... his piece was slanted before he shot one frame!

The Discovery Channel is part of the undertone that this administration is creating. American Chopper and all the other HeMan flag waving programming was just the tip ... now they're turning into another full out Bush Co. neocon Christian Reich GOP SOB propaganda thread made for TV.

See Friedman's New York Times article here and post further comments with your thoughts:

55. A title indicating excellency in journalism

... hey, wait a moment...

Jeez, since when do we have only a single opinion in Europe? The simple description of reality is: a lot of people dislike the current policy, very few people dislike the country.
