CENSORED

WTF Ed!! We've had this talk before, if you don't have anything nice to say than don't say anything at all! If you had a clue about world culture you would know that Americans are the "Asshats" of the world! - Hllwd

Wow, I took this as satire like most of his posts. I guess I missed something... That's normal lol

I don't think much of this thread. It's petty from more than just the OP. I'm proud to be an American. I think most are but I can occasionally be that asshat. I'm pretty sure we all have been at 1 time or another no matter what country you're from. It's called being human. Racism is a touchy subject for a lot of people. Not me I'm a typical American Heinz 57. I'm German, Irish, American Indian, and African American. These are just the ones I know. That's why I check other on job applications. Most Americans are some sorta mix. The whole racism thing used to be considered ignorance but you can't claim that anymore. It's just plain stupid and mean. I know this will blow over because Eroids is sort of a family and stupid things like this will happen. It's inevitable. Some people are more sensitive than others so this should be considered also before we open our mouths and say something off color or considered not politically correct. So let's pull up our big boy pants and move on like any other family would do.....

Wow I had no idea that meant so much. I as ed did thought it was just a saying and expressions like we use here. Ed is very funny and a great member here. I truly think he offers a lot here. Ed meant no disrespect to anyone culture just ignorance on both are parts not knowing. Flash I have said mate to u a couple times out of context bro I was just joking sorry if I ever offended u. Guess this is an education for the betterment of the community.

I see that my humor doesn't seem to translate over to the underside of the earth. This post was Meant completely as a joke, no disrespect was intended whatsoever. In my ignorance I did not know that the word "mate" was something sacred enough in your culture that it can't be joked about. I figured it was something similar to "bro" or "dude" or "homie" in our culture.
If it is something more than that, well I apologize. The joke was in ignorance and I meant nothing by it. If not, well then I take my apology back and say grow a sack and quit being so damn easily offended. That being said. I'll not joke with you fellas any more because I really want nothing to do with anyone who can't take a joke. Again if I'm wrong please accept my apology.
As far as HLLWD and your comment, "Asshats of the world" and Americans being that... Well that's your opinion and you believe that hllwd...I wholeheartedly disagree. I'll take that individual tag because I deserve it, but I have no problem telling you to lick my balls if you mean it as disrespect to my Country. If that means a ban, so be it. I'll stand by my country over a stupid internet account any day of the week. Don't worry about a temp ban go ahead and perma ban my ass on that if you feel so inclined.
Sorry it had to come to that.
I'm betting this is my last post, so to all my mates, homies, bros, and asshats, here on Eroids Peace out. It's been fun.

Geeee, feeling a little sensitive Ed :'( ...And this really shows your limited scope, The US is the petulant teenager of the world... and THAT IS the world view, How do I know? Because I travel the world and don't rely on FOX and CNN to educate me. Most countries laugh at the arrogance of our imagined status, We are no better than the Bullies on the block... and you seem to still be living in our homegrown sheep- following propaganda that "we're #1" ((Laughable))

Here is a very good depiction of the "Greatest country in the world":

I love what this country "stood for" at one time but any non-sleepwalker can see we clearly do NOT stand for that today... So you do NOT get to just run your mouth about race, creed, nationality, sexual orientation etc... because YOU think its funny... You offend ONE SINGLE MEMBER then it gets pulled... PERIOD!

Oh... and yes - This will give you a time out.... see you Saturday

I have no problem telling you to lick my balls

America is a great country, but it is ran by idiots. I love my country, but I hate my Government.

Pale's picture

I may not have traveled to as many places in the world as you, but from my travels in the western hemisphere I have found the people to be very friendly towards us and most of them still want to come here. Is our government fucked and getting more fucked by the day? Most definitely. But brother I have a hard time believing that you truly feel we are the "asshats" of the world. America and Americans are far from perfect but I feel blessed to have been born here.

Maybe that is what you are saying, it just isn't that clear in your words.

HllwdBdBoy's picture

brother I have been all over the world several times and it never fails that I find Americans making asses of themselves whether its the stereotypical chant (U-S-A! U-S-A!),not giving a rats ass to even attempt to learn or understand the culture or just plain drunk and beligerant (which really accentuates that you haven't made an attempt to learn the culture)... In a general statement we are known to be loud and entitled and are of the expectation that other counties should bend to our culture... Will they gladly accept out money? Of course they will and smile while doing so... We are an ignorant society... Like they say, if you speak several languages you are multi-lingual, if you speak 2 languages you are bi-lingual, if you speak 1 language you are American

China owns the USA; we owe them trillions of dollars; we send billions in aid to other countries yet let our own war heroes live in cardboard boxes and ppl pass them every day and tell them to get a job while they feel good about themselves donating money to starving kids in ethiopia. I am proud to be american, but not proud of what gets done here. I could go on and on but I'm not gonna muddy the waters, in other words I agree with what you say 110%.

Pale's picture

There are most definitely Americans that fit that bill , I have seen them myself. That being said it is no more fair to paint us all with that brush than it was for Ed to even jokingly paint the Australians with. My experience is their are entitled asshats all over the world.

I also am confident you know it is not universally true about us either. How about we just delete this entire thread?

TheFlash85's picture

hey big boy, this shit is pissing me off, why let it concern you? keep adding the word " joke ", it wasnt, it was a personal attack on me that back fired on him, if you actually read the post it was racist and degrading, preety much saying because australians use the word " mate" we are gay and he quoted " sticking our f-stick inside other people ", he tried to bait me into getting heated!, and possibly ban, i reply in forum with " mate ", ten minutes later this shit comes up, anyway, ed is popular on here, he likes a good humerous story about smuggling tren in his ass into prison, hes popular, he tried taking me on thinking his popularity would back him up, and his adv tag, geuss what, hes not the only one with popularity, i spend a ton of time helping many, many people day in day out, i have gained peoples respect and its mutual, i can see how people might be dirty on me, thats fine he done it too himself, immaturely, i dont take bs from anybody, i back myself and always will

Back off! This doesn't concern you!

HllwdBdBoy's picture

Everybody is an example to someone and all stereotypes come from grains of truth... I must've been out that day when they taught that life was fair : /

There are asshats all over the world bro but even those asshats are "expected" to learn English

...and for the record I have spoken to Ed in the past about him going too far... He had chosen to turn it into a rant with me licking his balls at some point instead of just owning up to that YES he tends to go a bit far sometimes and then got all melodramatic with his farewells LOL! Its just a spanking and he'll be back in a few days

Thanks for the input big dog. Smile

TheFlash85's picture

yes! now please remove this post, you are disrespecting our culture and fallen comrades of war, the soldiers who died for my countries freedom and way of life " mateship", i have no beef with you, i like your contribution to the site and you are highly respected, this is too much.

Brother, had no idea that "mate" had something to do with Fallen comrades of your people. That's my bad. Hope you'll accept my apology for my ignorance.

TheFlash85's picture

apology accepted, just avoid politics, race, religion, cultures, half my family got wiped out in wars. i like you ed, your funny and intelligent, your respected and listened too, dont be silly and get yourself ban, i did pm you to delete first. move on mate, forwards

Engineereddisaster's picture

That's fine bro, the post seemed cut and dry in my opinion as an attempt at humor. I still don't see how it could be construed as an insult. But there is an apology with that.
I'm sorry that you lost family in wars, it's probably a safe bet that we all have. Shit happens like that and it's a damn shame. I would never intentionally disrespect that. ever.
As far as your opinion on what I should or shouldn't wright...well I appreciate your opinion. But that's your opinion. I've been here for a couple of years now, I believe that my contributions have been positive. Yes I have stepped out of line at times but I accept my stripes and apologize if I feel it's warranted...but I'm not going to regulate my shit or your topics of choice because you asked me to. again, my apologies.

TheFlash85's picture

mate you are contradicting yourself, im not arguing with you, i said move forward, it was an insult! i accepted apology and showed you respect.

Brother, I don't want to leave this place but this is not my real home and my loyalty lies with my country and if being a member here means standing by like a little bitch while another refers to the people of my country as the "Asshats of the world". Well, I want no part of that. My membership here means shit compared to my loyalty to my country.

TheFlash85's picture

and im standing by mine! so whats the issue? move forward, delete post, all good.

You are too much Ed. it never bothered me at all when other countries use certain references, we good ole americans do it too. Around my parts its calling everyone "dog." Sup dog? Yo dog. that grinds my gears more then anything else, hanging around with some of my british friends and irish friends that come here once a year for our reunion got me used to some of the sayings, Fancy a fag? wanna knock a pint fella? next time the fool eggit looks my way hes havin it. Took some time believe me but its all good. My irish friend is the best person you can have in your corner; he will have your back even if you're wrong and will take on anyone regardless of size. Anyways great post mate J/K.
