By definition, mustn't the American government be run by an American?
I don't understand your post.
by definition, people equals more than one person.
how many presidents run my country ?
since you are such a douche, does that make everyone from your country a douche too ?
like myself, my neighbor or some guy in texas decides what the country does as a whole.
not every person in the united states shares the same feelings as those in the government, we vote for the man we feel will do the best job for us as people & we are limited in who we can select.
what they do elsewhere doesnt concern me as much as what they do here does.
only someone as ignorant as you would assume that every american is a clone of the next.

I must admit it would make life a lot easier if I didnt care about the Great Pyramid at Gisa, The Parthenon on the Acropolis, The Valley of the Kings, Macchu Picchu, Angkor Watt, Mont-san-Michel, the Louvre, the Temple of Apollo at Olympia, Persepolis, the Taj Mahal, the Forbidden City, the Spanish Steps, the Colosseum, the Kremlin, Gaudi's Cathedral in Barcelona, St Basil's Cathedral, Tiananmen Square, the Pantheon, Pompeii, Edinburgh Castle, the Palace of Versaille, the Pompedou Centre, the Villa Savoye, the Brandenburg Gate, Neuschwanstein Castle, The Great Wall of China, The Statue of Christ the Redeemer, Notre Damme Cathedral, Chichen Itza, The City of Petra, the Wailing Wall of Jerusalem, The Golden Palace Bangkok, Alhambra, Hagia Sophia in Istambul, Kiyomizu-dera, Easter Island, Stone Henge, Timbuktu, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, St Paul's, The Canals of Venice, Aqueduct of Segovia, Circus Maximus, Hawa Mahal in Jaipur, Umaid Bhavan Palace, Neemrana Fort Palace, New National Gallery in Berlin, Chateaux of the Loire valley, Historic City of Meknes, Ampitheatre at El Djem, Amiens Cathedral and St Peter's Basilica, but I guess I cant help it.
if these are things that interest you, then go abroad & see them, i myself could care less, they are structures built by people, i really dont see whats so fascinating about them, but thats just me.

I have already seen a fair few of them, hope to see them all in my lifetime. Them and great cuisine (the other thing you dismiss) are what make my life worth living. But then, as you said, I am just an ignorant foreigner.

who called you an ignorant foreigner ?
i said ignorant a** people, as in those who act as if they know every person from america & know that we are all a**holes.
if you want to put yourself in that category thats on you, but dont put words in my mouth calumn.
you are acting just like the "typical american" you act like you dont like.
i get tired of hearing people say we are this & we are that based off of what a government does.
i dont see how people dont feel stupid judging people like they have met them & have a true understanding of who that individual person is.
the whole americans are so smug & full of themselves is ludicrous to say the least, every person from any country loves their country for something & despises their country for something they may do but it doesnt stop them from being proud of where they are from regardless.
its not alright for us americans to do so, but its just fine for anyone else.
I like what your government does. Have you seen my avatar lately?
Perversely I'm even starting to like that black guy.
cant say i really like him, he hasnt really done much w/ his time in office.
i dont get into polotics & probably never will, because in the end its all bs & they never do what they say they do.
since being of age to vote, i personally have never voted.

ironic how ?
its clear we wouldnt see eye to eye, we are different people w/ different opinions of things.
i wont say you are anything, you have never come at me irrationally so i dont have anything bad to say about you.
when it comes to azrael or however you spell it, i wont say i dont like him, but im surely not a fan of his.
im not ranting, im speaking my mind, maybe a rant to you because you dont agree w/ it.
i defend myself & the ones from my country that are not like our government officials & dont see eye to eye w/ the things they do, but we are under them so we have no say.

No, it's a rant because you're ranting. It's ironic because your posts are transpiring some of the crap people tend to not like about Americans. And it's quite obvious that not everyone is like that, so try not to generalize. My first post was obviously a joke btw, I don't care whichever tourists come to Portugal are welcome to stay. Except for ******* Spanish tourists.
Saying how you have no interest in anything is displaying an enormous amount of ignorance towards the world.
Personally I don't care for historical sightseeing either, nor do I have a ton of interest in seeing things just to say I've seen them. I was in Santa Monica literally a 1 minute walk from dipping my feet in the Pacific Ocean, but instead of going to see it for the first time I wanted to get to the next bar 2 minutes quicker. I never saw it, although I suppose I technically did from an airplane.
But why don't you want to travel? Talking to different people in different environments is awesome. Usually people are extremely nice and accommodating to tourists, even Americans, and assume the best until you (not YOU, this isn't personal because I know you'd take it that way) prove how much of a dick you are. Everyone is a tourist at some point, and no one wants to be treated like ****. Getting drunk with people in another country, having sex in another country, these things are great fun. And getting out of your cold ****ty environment is a bonus too during the winter.
You seriously have no interest in Oktoberfest? Running with the bulls?
Nimreitz,
+1...) Travelling's really great) Last year I've been in Indonesia and first time in my life I tried surfing)) I's amazing) Then I climbed Agung volcano with other tourists from Australia, United States, Germany and others) Was nice to meet new people, to share emotions with them) by the way, I like americans - these guys know how to rock hard)
I love regularcat. He's the only person to go just as berzerk at my normal posts as poet11 or similar would at my bait posts.
Anyway, if you think people hate Americans just because of Bush you're mistaken. Not to mention that while there's only one president, more than one person runs a country. I'm not big on politics, but isn't ther a cabinet, a congress, a parliament, a senate or something which also help in running the country? And aren't some of those people democratically voted for by the American public? Even if people hated Americans because of its government, it'd still be something, even if a tenuous, argument.
But no, generally people hate Americans tourists because they're loud and obnoxious.
I personally love 'merica. If I had money and you had universal healthcare, I'd totally live there. And I specifically said that here we hate all tourists. Here they hate all foreigners. They even hate all Spaniards, it's really a lovely sentiment.
