Why don't you paint a picture for us of an "Ugly American." We, "Ugly Americans", will then respond with a poratriat of an Ugly Canadian and an Ugly European. What would you do...take your picture, add a little class clothes, clean it up, and pass it off? |

" *JimH*" wrote in message ... That was not the question Jim. What is *your* impression of what you call an "Ugly American" is? IMO. The "Ugly American" is the type of person who, when visiting another country, will not try the local cuisine but will look for the nearest McDonalds. This person will always rundown the local people as not being as good as the average American. They will say that "it can be done better and cheaper in America. They will say that the armed might of America will solve the world's problems. This Ugly American knows little of the ways of life in other countries. For example, the Ugly American does not even know that there are cities in China that are more modern than most in the USA. These are just a few examples. There are many more. Jim |

You can say that but where is the proof? One of the great things about America today, is that the Looney Left has been relegated to little more than barking dogs BECAUSE of their inept leadership in the past. Most of Americas problems can be traced to these loonies. Korea, Cuba, Iran, forced redistribution of income, and an assortment of problems brought on by illegal aliens. These lefties are outraged because their outrageous policies have cause voters to give them no say whatsoever in the leadership of this country. Look at a political map of the US. Find the red and blue states. There is the proof you're seeking, the libs have been swept to the corners. Tends to keep most of the country clean. -- Skipper |

All I will say here is: Carter had no megalomane, expensive plans like Reagan. But I admit I have no extensive knowledge of the Carter economic performance. LOL! Do you realize what you just said? LOL! do you even realize you just admitted you would never admit anything in any discussion even if you knew it was 100% true... You would consider it a weakness when you would see the point in your (any) opponents view. Thats what makes you a real republican. And thats why we will never reach any sensible result debating. I admit I have my prejudices and lacks of knowledge. You won't even think of admitting that. You would still persist in saying it's the truth even if you know you're wrong. There is a big analogy to your persistance in considering your own view points in this thread as facts and when someone says otherwise you set another standard. And when they use a innocent word like "act like boring child" to point out your repetitive way of arguing without adding ANYthing, you overreact and pretend to be o so offended. And on top of that YOU call ME a whiner ? You win, Jim. You're much better than me in manipulating and namecalling. For my own sake I am glad you are. My dad was right. "never discuss with ... (a certain type of people I can't describe here due to your sensitive personality) cause they will drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience...." I salute you, Jim. |

"Len" wrote in message ... You want facts? Fact: Reagan inherited an economy from Carter with double digit inflation, double digit interest rates and gas shortages. Is not a fact, but the way you set your period-boundaries and focus on Carter. You don't relate to previous presidencies. You just pick what you can use. Presenting this statement as a fact also denies other influences like world economy. Such simplifications usually deminish the value of an argument. It doesn't deserve the term fact. All I will say here is: Carter had no megalomane, expensive plans like Reagan. But I admit I have no extensive knowledge of the Carter economic performance. LOL! Do you realize what you just said? ROFLOMAO! Do you realize you're doing EXACTLY what the OP was talking about? Obsessing about what some US president did 20 years ago, arguing over some minor detail of the US ecomony from that far back - you do realize that: 1. The rest of the world doesn't CARE who was a better US president 2. The rest of the world doesn't even care who was the better leader of THEIR country 20 years ago! We spend much more time arguing about whether or not Todd Bertuzzi should be playing hockey than whether or not insert name of Federal Cabinet Minister who overspent his expense acct should be playing politics. And the same rhetoric, over and over: "All the World's problems are the fault of {republicans, democrats} and the World would be a perfect place if {democrats,republicans} ran it" "Oh, yeah??? What about minor incident from 20 years ago? If {republicans,democrats} had been in charge, that never would have happened!" "Oh, yeah??? Well, just like all {republicans,democrats}, you're a poopy-pants!" "No I'm not: you are!" And so on. There! now nobody has to post ANY political tripe on this NG any mo just refer to this post and indicate whether you agree with first or second element of the set. :) Lloyd |
