America: Land of the Hopeless, Home of the Stupid
Reader comment on item: Europeans: From Venus?
in response to reader comment: America: Land of the Free, Home of the Brave

Yes we do, the UK. fool! Grow up and get over yourself, you cocky, self obsessed man.
Americans alone did not end Nazi occupation in France, last time i checked numerous other countires were involved. Check your facts, stop being arrogant and stop taking the credit for possibly the SINGLE decent act america has ever done.
The rest of the world is frced to listen to your below par rap music, forced to eat your greasy fat foods because the nation of America wants global domination and are so blinded by self arrogance that they wont listen to anyone else.
