Everyone was watching the games online at work yesterday. I am not a sports fan at all (well aside from watching Beckham ) but I love the Olympics. So yeah...anecdotal, but I think it's safe to say there are enough Americans who care about the Olympics.
...and I would say that anyone in the US that actually does watch the Olympics, it's just for national pride. Other than Michael Phelps...can you name an athlete? Do you know what events there are in the olympics actually? There's like 9,000 of them and 8992 of them are pretty much bar games! I saw tonight walking! Walking is an event? Walking?
Yeah, I think that's part of it. Oh I can definitely name Ryan Lochte I like watching the Olympics because they show events that I enjoy watching, but don't normally get to see otherwise like men's swimming :shifty: (ok women's too), track and field events, gymnastics (artistic and rhythmic), high diving, bmx racing, etc.
"I need your strength for me to be strong...I need your love to feel loved"
Sure, workers in this country won't settle for $40 a week and unsafe factories. But I'll bet they'd take cuts in pay if it meant keeping factories in this country.
And I don't even know what Nikes cost, other than too damn much, because this old woman has never owned a pair. I know I've bought shoes that were made in China because it's pretty hard to avoid but I'm kinda past the stage in my life where I need a little swoosh mark on my shoes to be cool.
But you're not past the stage in life to stop buying products manufactured in China even though you feel it's so wrong? I think they call that judging. Some may actually say that's hypocritical. Sorry, but it is.
As I already pointed out, it's pretty hard to avoid buying products made in China because damn near everything is. The lawmakers who made a big flap about the U.S. Olympic uniforms being made in China were probably all wearing clothes from China (or El Salvador, Malaysia or Turkey, to name a few). When even my beloved Converse All Stars are made in China, that's a little mind-blowing.
That's why I don't "judge" if someone buys things made in China. I just seem to remember when we took a lot of pride in things made in the US. And I don't have a lot of regard for companies that take their jobs overseas. Especially during times when we have such high unemployment.
For the record, all the shoes I've bought the last few years were made in Germany. It's not a deliberate decision to support the Germans, it's because they're well-made shoes that last a long time. If there's a comparable brand made in the US, I'll be glad to buy it.
But why debate anything with you? You don't give any post actual thought or consideration, just reply with some snarky comeback and a bunch of . It's not about discussion with you, it's about "winning" an argument, which apparently you feel you always do.
When was the last time Finland or Iceland had the power to invade or bomb the shit out of anyone?
Finland defeated Russia in 1939. What makes you think they're a pushover?
This made me laugh out loud so hard.
And why would that be?
Just because Finland hasn't bombed the shit out of anyone lately means they're a pushover, right? Just because the majority of countries don't spend the majority of their time dopping bombs on poor brown-skinned people, doesn't mean they don't have the ability to.
Well we need physics to create cars...so no, cars would not exist without the early mathematicians, nor would the iPod if we didn't have the coding necessary to create technology. Who said American innovation should stop? :? I'm responding to your original post - try to stay on topic
And again, the US wasn't even a thought when those "great thinkers" existed.
This is kind of the point Go back to your original statement and then read this last response. Thank your for responding to your own statement so well :thumbup:

I just state the facts. It's not about winning...I just state the facts and put it out there. We can all hope for some idealisctic society but that's not reality. Sure, I'd love for all the manufacturing to come back to this country but until the US worker is willing to work for those salaries or the US public is willing to pay higher prices for products it isn't happening. What people tend to forget is the companies that have moved their operations to this country and have provided jobs becasue it makes financial sense and the general US population has the skills to perform these jobs. I'm in the auto industry...why is no one complaining about the Asian carmakers that actually produce more cars in the US vs. US carmakers? Toyota, Honda, and now almost now even Hyundai produce more cars INSIDE US boundaries than ANY of the US carmakers. GM is pretty much concentrating on China. Why? It makes finacial sense. Money drives the World. Always has and always will. Let them sow sneakers and other knick knacks...Ill take the higher skilled and paying jobs.
Just because Finland hasn't bombed the shit out of anyone lately means they're a pushover, right? Just because the majority of countries don't spend the majority of their time dopping bombs on poor brown-skinned people, doesn't mean they don't have the ability to.
Sorry, but this made me laugh even harder. Yes. Barack is out dropping bombs on poor brown skinned people just beacuse he can! All I'll say to this is when a World crisis happens...no one worldwide sits there and says to themselves "I wonder what the Finnish will do"? It's always "what will the Americans do"?
And again, the US wasn't even a thought when those "great thinkers" existed.
This is kind of the point Go back to your original statement and then read this last response. Thank your for responding to your own statement so well :thumbup:
Still highly :?
The point is, that the US wasn't even a thought when those thinkers, artists, and mathematicians existed, so in terms of overall impact on the world, your original statement is a bit of an...overstatement. The US has been built on a mix from other cultures; all of them have influenced our development and our advances. Of course the US has had an impact on the world and sure advances in technology are going to occur at a much faster pace with the technology we have now, but you can't create anything without a strong foundation. You can build a big, fancy house, but without a foundation that thing is going to come toppling down.

Ho hum. Whatever you want to call it.
It's still not a discussion if all you do is state your incontrovertible "facts" and make fun of other's posts. You've made up your mind and there's no consideration of any other point of view.

I guess I still don't get your point. :? My point is that US thinkers no matter where they are originally from...and I whole heartedly acknowldge everyone here is from somewhere else originally, have sped up society and world wide impact faster and a greater impact than any other society in the histroy of the world. Just look at two time periods...the industrial age and the tech boom. No other two periods in the histroy of mankind has shaped the world as we know it as those two periods of time. What country was at the center of both? One guess?

All I'll say to this is when a World crisis happens...no one worldwide sits there and says to themselves "I wonder what the Finnish will do"? It's always "what will the Americans do"?
And what World crisis might that be? That Iraq had the ability to destroy the Western World with WMD's within 45 minutes?

Seriosly? All I'll say is how many US bases are worldwide in other countries? How many foriegn countries have bases in the US or even "friendly" countries of the US? I'll give you one guess and it rhymes with hero! And to think we don't have Iraq under the US thumb at this point is very funny to me. . I mean we did pull over a statue of their leader while the masses cheered correct? I'm fairly sure anytime soon if the US were somehow taken over and the Washington Memorial were pulled over there would be no cheering by the nationals. Also, Iraq is too busy chasing around they're own "political leaders" to be any kind of threat.

As I said, technology has a way of speeding things up, but that doesn't equate to overall impact on the world. I'd disagree with that your statement.

And I would say if technolgy speeds things up...why wasn't today's innovations around sooner then? :fp: And unfortunaltely you and I won't have the time to realize the impact that the US has had on the world because we live in it. Kind of like the mystery of sports figures from the past because they are so talked up and immortalized they must be better than whats going on today. I just find it funny how quickly things have "sped up" since the US came into the mix.

Because you have to develop the basic principles first You need language development to even type this post, mathematic principles to have the coding to have this computer and this forum. You do know that a lot of US engineers and scientists are not American born, right? America may have the money to help boost technology, but a lot of the brains that have helped develop it are not necessarily American.

I didn't say you haven't. I am responding to this statement:
I would say in our short history of just over 200 years the US has had the biggest influence on the World in history actually.
I think that is an overstatement when you realize the technology that we have today couldn't even exist without those principles that have lasted for thousands of years.

everyone doesnt keep talking about it... unless its about a war you've started, a president you've elected through nepotism and has to have his shoes tied for him or your antiquarian guns laws.... oh but we do like your movies... other than that the US doesnt enter the consciousness of anyone I chat with.
We dont care about your sports.. mainly because you were all so shit at proper sports so you made up your own and then call it WORLD championships, talk about stroking your own boner... we dont care about Snookie ( I literally have no idea who/what/if that is something/someone? ) .. dont care about those weird baby pageants things you have... and your chocolate is just fucking awful.
Honestly...it's comments like these that let me know you do care. Made up our own sports? You do realize that the US in an overall majority could care less about the Olympics which the world deems "proper" sports such as you do and we are still leading in the medal count. I personsally couldn't care less but you do realize that right? And even if we slip to 10th in the medal count...we don't care.
I'll take your responses seriously when you know the difference between could care less and could NOT care less.

It's not because Asian cars are "better" than "American" cars. You are pretty much so lost like most of the American people it's ridiculous when it comes to this one simple example. Here we go...follow along...a Toyota Tundra is produced in Texas...a Dodge Ram is produced in Mexico...a Ford F150 is produced in Cananda. Which is the "American" car company? :fp: You also realize that the Camrys and Accords (the best selling cars in the world) are actually produced by Americans. But those aren't American? :? :fp: I guess the GM cars produced in China are actually the AMerican cars? :? :fp: It's all free business man! You don't believe it go check the "Monroney" labels on a car at your local lot. By law it will tell you where it's built. Just another freedom we enjoy here.

its not even an overstatement... its just nonsense. He thinks that the last 200 years of US history is more important than anything else that has ever happened??? Thats just jingoism encapsulated... I'm an atheist but I think the whole jesus and christianity is a bigger deal than MTV, steel warships and falsely claiming to have invented denim.
Far from. :fp:
Without some google search,,,the Tsunami in Japan last year. US forces are STILL there trying to help with the mess. And yes, the Iraqis as a whole are happy we destroyed their "country" if that what you want to call it?!
They did without a doubt. Never said they didn't. I'm still waiting for the Japanese military to be a world dominating presence at the same time as well though. :corn:
...and it's posts like this that let people know you have nothing better to post. However...I could care less (try googling about the phrase and it's evolution and how it's used in modern society...especially the US).
It's not because Asian cars are "better" than "American" cars. You are pretty much so lost like most of the American people it's ridiculous when it comes to this one simple example.
I suggest you reread my quote that you quoted me here or if you're lost reread the thread
