Amazingly bad.

1) Pick a better country.
2) Move there or stay there.

Uh... ok. But chances are my new country will have internet access and ironically will probably provide me MORE freedom to post things like this because there won't be nearly as many people like you around trying to stifle independent thought and truth. Keep waving that flag, bubba. Keep waving that flag...

errr... trouble is, if you move to one of the 130 countries of the world that have american bases in them then you didn't really leave. Even if you pick China or Belarussia, you still get MTV and Coca Cola.

qm what kind of weird view of democracy do you have?

Pick a better country? sure. There are literally dozens of countries with better living conditions, less violent, more educated, and with a lot more freedom.
It wouldn't be too hard to pick a better country...

Downvote because I think it's an oversimplification of the problems. Sure it's the fad to blame America nowadays, but I think it's getting kind of old.

Plus I found the video rather crass and offensive.

lol. funny both because its true (ish) and the most flammable video on the net.

it's "getting kind of old" to blame america?

aww shit, i guess i will blame somebody else then, even if the facts don't change.

yeah the video was not the most stylish, but neither was the invasion of the former ally under false pretexts without a declaration of war.

Conspicuously missing are Egypts imprisonment of the Jews, all European contries which did the same thing in the 15th and 16th centuries, Japans conquest of Korea and China, the Soviet takeover of eastern europe after WWII, the muzzie Persian conquests, Ghengis Khan...

dupe but where is it

Current politics Rotty. Current.

Enh, doesn't do it for me.

The video sucked, plain and simple. Crass and appealing only to the lowest common degenerate America-haters, a great many of which are speaking languages other than German and Japanese because of USA.

No one here has given an EXAMPLE of a better country with a higher standard of living. Case closed.

Norway? Sweden? Denmark?

30? it only took 17 seconds to state the truth.

Just for the record, I posted this because I thought that this was an amazing work of satire (and it made me laugh my ass off). Obviously it's an exaggeration, but it draws attention to an important underlying truth. This video is not about hating America, it's about mocking how the U.S. conducts itself on the world stage. Take some time to research the facts, and learn the history that they tend to skip over in school.

the best country is the one with the friendliest people, and the cleanest restrooms.....
empire, bet yer bathroom is dirty and fulla meanies....red weenies, and no exhaust fan......It wouldn't be too hard to pick a better country...to stick yer smug ass in.....
tee hee.......as foghorn leghorn might say......."

Can somebody explain the part to me where the United States excretes three small countries on China and then takes a bite of them?

damn you hoju. I searched long and hard to find a copy of this. originally saw it on wonder-showzen.

love it.

I'm trying to learn Japanese at the moment mushroom, so if you guys hadn't forked it up for me I wouldn't have had to.

Koh-cha ga arimasuka?....Kohhi? Tabako??

....this cartoon is as anal-expulsive as Jackass or Austin Powers.....a crudcake.

I believe its France with the best welfare system and standard of living currently. With all that wine, cheese, almost free medical, strong unions and good coffee... I could live there.

Karaidl:

I think the Mexico-excrement on china and subsequent bite out of them is supposed to represent the foreign workforce that American corporations employ, which some people view as exploitative to those people and countries.

It's a pretty satirical video, highlighting only the negative things that the United States might be considered responsible for in the last 100 years. Little to no imagination involved. Upvote for the cheap laugh.

you people take life waaaay too seriously. it's only 'tasteless' and 'unimaginative' because you are offended by it - and why? Because deep down you know it's the truth. The same reason anyone gets offended by anything.


as for a better country with a higher standard of living? Even though that is completely subjective...Canada and Costa Rica are two places I am very fond of over this shithole country.

p.s. i'll save you the "then leave mah country booy!" speech. I do, on a regular basis.

That's a crock of perception-based, subjective, masturbatory, horse-shit, Delphiki. The animation rots, it's content sophomoric dribble, concocted by a bitter-pill eating, cretin.....has merit perhaps in some primary school.......

That was only 17 seconds.

If you're going to be poor all your life and have no skills, yes, there are better countries to live in. Otherwise, the US has the highest GDP per capita for any large nations, the most dynamic economy etc.

That was poor and nonsensical.

Doesn't really relate to the video, but...

According to the 2006 Human Development Report (by the United Nations Development Programme) NORWAY has the best Human development index (HDI) value. HDI is a composite index measuring average achievement in three basic dimensions of human development — a long and healthy life, knowledge and a decent standard of living.

For details on how the index is calculated, see 2006 Human Development Report: http://hdr.undp.org/hdr2006/statistics/

I'm not a huge fan of America's foreign policy ATM (or since Bush, period) but this video wasn't very good. Maybe in the context of something else it woulda been funny?

As for the shorter than 30 seconds comments... I think you can extrapolate the rest. I could describe this video to my friends in 5 seconds, for that matter.

the context? if you've not seen it before it's a mock tv kids show. hit and miss - very disturbing at times, brilliant at others.

Ah, the pinnacle of naive liberal hate.

man that sucks.

"I believe its France with the best welfare system and standard of living currently. With all that wine, cheese, almost free medical, strong unions and good coffee... I could live there."

wefare....best-oximoron???
no probs with the wine and cheese, shit, that's a given, in any countries contributions in that area...

Unions are an abusable, manipulatable entity, like any other gimme-gimme construct....

Free Medical????? Learn to eat, motherfucker, and stop poisoning yourself with food, and the medical needs of the world, shall take care of itself....Need Proof?? How many rabbit or pidgeon hospitals are needed, to care for the animal idiots of the planet????

I posted this forever and ever ago.

Hey, QM - move to another country if you don't like other people expressing their views.

Moron.

yeah, didn't do it for me either. my personal favorite political humor sift is Stick Magnetic Ribbons on Your SUV.

And I'm with karaidl. What's with the China bit? I feel like it's a reference I know, but it's not clicking.

Careful with the hypocrisy there. He can say whatever he wants too -- that's how it works. Not that I agree with him, of course.

dystopfurtdy??, you rabble-rouser-pick a street corner, get a sign, and give up bathing for a Patchouli freshen-up....oh loooook, all the latest votes came from the peanut gallery....go figure-

So the US pisses on Mexico, eats South America, doesn't give a shit about Africa (no poop comes out), then has Mexico-shaped babies on China and then eats two of those babies. I sorta understand the first three parts, but the babies part????

My first guess is that it fucked over Mexico, hence the Mexican babies. Maybe the eating of two of the babies indicates a 66% cheaper labor rate in China in comparison to Mexico....???????????

Ahhh...my first downvote. I had been looking forward to that for quite some time.

NOW THATS FUNNY.
