One thing I never understood is why Europeans sweat us. In Norway some girl asked me if I was Paki and I said no Amreican and she said even worse fuck you..The girl had English writing and an american flag on her shirt. In Greece you hear Ameriki this and that all day..
Might have something to do with the way many of your fellow countrymen tend to be self absorbed, arrogant and prattle condescendingly and patronisingly about our affairs over our heads even though they often don't have a fucking clue.
Not singling you out though, plenty of those in my land too and we had many emigrants who went to the States. I can't say that I haven't met people from the US that I liked and I tend to get along with decent Americans much more than I do with people from neighbouring countries.
One day in Greece some dude heard me talking English so he decided to start a fight with me and said " Your president is a pimp do you know how many planes he sold to Turkey this year?"
I said " Shut up and good I hope they blow your asses up"
The point is we don't know who we sell planes to or care. We do a lot of business that's disconnected to us so in a big country like here if one were to keep track it would be mentally overloading. We care that our banks are fucking us and about gas prices. Shit that effects our personal lives not shit in your country unless one of us is getting fucked with there.
