Naked Germans Jump in Ice-Cold Lake for Good Health:
About 30 Germans wearing nothing more than red Santa Claus caps leapt into a Berlin lake for their annual Christmas Day swim on Saturday, a dip in the
ice-cold water they believe is good for their health.

Well its not my choice, I am glad I am not living in some second or third world country, but damn, the whole freakin world hates us. Whats the point
in being a great nation if the only ones who think its great are the people living in it? We go and try to help these other countries because there
government is killing its own people, and they hate us for it, they tell us to get the fuck out and keep to our own problems, but then this tsumani
shit happens and the whole freakin world is like "where's america" like two days after it happend, like we have that kind of shit right
there ready to go 24 7. . . . . . . . . .poobs - 1-20-2005 at 07:10 AM
So which is it? Are you ashamed of America? Cuz it sounds like you're defending America from other countries..And I'll be waiting for a
postcard from Canada on your 18th birthday..Jette - 1-20-2005 at 08:26 AM

Haha, then you will bitch and complain about the PM, premiers and any other politicians then want to go back to the US. Well, at least Canadian
politics is fun, you get to see what moronic thing someone has said or done and when Chretien was in power you got to play what the hell is he trying
to say?

Yeah..why do people hate America?
There are some things I don't like about it and there are some things I like, but I can't see how someone would hate it.Seb - 1-22-2005 at 10:24 PM
Sometimes I think people mistake hating the government with the country and people. I know I might get carried away with political discussions on
here but I do not hate Americans(I most likely will live in the US in hte future), although it is fun messing with them (Rick Mercers Talking To
Americans). A lot of the time its just people getting carried away when discussing politics and morons that know dick all about what they are talking
about(aka 98% of warped tour fans, haha)

talking about foreighn films (and trying to stop this endless conversation on america) has anyone seen zebraman?
its a japanese story with the usual concept; loser in life becomes unkown superhero. its really funny and sweet, start outs as a satire but ends as an
hommage.
certainly one of the most original movies i ever saw, perhaps one of my favourites. im think im gonna go see it in the cinema again
minimandy14 - 1-23-2005 at 03:23 PM
i was watching this movie in history were all these people went to the middle east after 9/11 happend and they were asking people why it happend and
junk, and i think one of the reasons why people hate america so much is that there are just so many rumors about our government over there.bananaboat - 1-23-2005 at 04:08 PM
Hah, yeah "Rick Mercers Talking To Americans" is the best. Did you see that one clip where he talks to Bush?Seb - 1-23-2005 at 06:38 PM
haha, ya, that was funny. The one where he talks to Gore is good too. My favorite is when he asked a girl what her thoughts on prime minister Tim
Horton getting a double double and explains to her that its when the pm has support from both sides of congress. When he talks about the dangers of
exploring Joe Clarks hole or the construction of a bridge for our pm Peter Man and calling it the Peter Mans Bridge and the dangers of climbing on top
of Peter Mans Bridge are some of my favourites as well.
bananaboat, do you like Rick Mercers new show Monday Report?

no, make room for the original zebraman....

My guess as to why much of the world's opinion(or so it seems) of America has taken a negative turn is because of some American's doing
petty things like changing the name of french fries to "freedom fries", all because the leaders of France didn't want to send in their
military for a war created on "bad intelligence". Not to mention various American based multinational fast food corporations doing things
like buying up valuable land in third world countrys and using it to grow grain and raise cattle, that could have otherwise been used to feed the
people of that country. People of other countrys probably hear about negative things that a select few American's are doing, and make sterotypes
about the whole country, much like how alot of American's make stereotypes about certain countrys.minimandy14 - 1-29-2005 at 02:33 PM
