yeah I eat rear end posted:It's still pretty inconsiderate because when (not if) your cat darts out in front of my car I'll have to deal with your weepy rear end demanding me to buy you a new cat and trying to get the cops to arrest me. It just seems conflicting sometimes - people keep saying how much they love their cat and will be destroyed if it dies, but at the same time will let it loose in high traffic areas or in places where predators like coyotes are active. Where I grew up you probably saw coyotes every couple days or so, yet people still let their cats out and act like they couldn't have seen it coming when the cat goes missing. Also, idiots who let their dogs off the leash in the front yard or wherever. The stupid thing will inevitably bolt off after a person/dog/anything and the moron owners will chase after all apologetic. That's not only rude and a hassle for passers-by but dangerous for the dog. My aunt's will do this at least a few times a week. Worse is when the owner just ineffectually stands there yelling while the dog ignores them.

My unpopular opinion is that I believe that Germany unreasonably hates us despite publicly being one of our strongest allies. I have lived here for almost 2 years and I have never felt less welcome while just existing. In switzerland there was some mild anti-americanism but it went away the second you talked to them in their language and made it known you're not just a stereotypical fanny packed american tourist, but even among my coworkers in germany I sense a deep loathing of america.

i don't think it's ok to harass companies into firing workers because their workers say stupid things online. doxxing people is also a very bad thing to do, and if you do it, you should not be allowed to have internet access.yeah I eat rear end posted:My unpopular opinion is that I believe that Germany unreasonably hates us despite publicly being one of our strongest allies.

It's certainly not fair to loathe you as an American, but in a wider political sense America the country is loathed because, for example, it elects presidents like Bush junior and Trump, and all that goes with that. All the while trumpeting it is the greatest and most free, god bless America.

Most americans are in favour of universal health care and not droning anyone. The loving number one consumers of "MURIKKKA" jokes are americans. Americans have a bad government and many are in lovely spots. As a whole however they are in the same place as the rest of "western civilization," but with ideals stronger than "our country is cute and we are so accepting, goodbye nazis hello Geert!!" I'mma lol when Murikkka saves Europe from another fascist takeover.

Solice Kirsk posted:The best way to stop a bad fascist country with an army is with a good fascist country with an army! Unironically agreed. My grandpa fled East Prussia in bestial frenzy because his number one desire circa 1945 was to surrender to the yanks and not the russians. There's a reason he and many other fascist footsoldiers felt that way.

I was describing why Germans might exude a hate for America, not any objective truth. However let it be said, that the fact the majority of Americans are against Trump and his ideals, yet he is the leader, is not a point in your favour.

My sister went to visit her in-laws there and got the same impression. She's very well-traveled and had always gotten on well in Europe, so she was kinda hurt with how coldly she was treated in Germany. Even with her husband being half-German, fluent in the language and having family there, she was treated as the stupid American tourist. Said it was one of the worst trips she's ever taken.

Trump and myself alike are literally a couple generations removed from being german. Germans should either accept Trump as one of their own or forever accept that all their culture and history up to about 1850 is as american as it is german. Same goes for Bush, but replace german with english. Y'all were genociding non-white peoples alongside us (your loyal colonists) for centuries before Trump's USA was an apple in his eye, and being born to the folks that stayed home absolves you of nothing. vintagepurple has a new favorite as of 00:16 on Mar 25, 2017 |

I personally think the people who voted for Trump did so because they simply can't afford to be socially conscious. The bible belt is one of the least educated areas in the country. The Republicans has exploited their ignorance by plantinf seeds of fear and making promises of making things better for Them. I don't blame people for voting for Trump if they truly believed it was in there best intrest. I certainly blame the GOP, however.

I think a lot of people voted for Trump because both the GOP and DNC were screaming the whole campaign that he wasn't a real candidate and the US, in general, is sick of our government's bullshit. The media and the established parties built him up as an outsider and the pissed off masses sick of "the same old same old" latched onto him.

Well, one candidate was promising to shake poo poo up, and one candidate was promising literally 4 more years of the same. If you're not happy with your current situation, you want to vote for the "shake poo poo up" candidate.

Idk, I just think its wrong to judge someone because they can't afford to have principles.
