If one part of one statement isn't true, then the statement isn't true. That, and he said the entire nation, or at least all of the suburban part of the nation, which isn't only you and I don't want you speaking for me.

Not neccesarily. Lets say you make this statement:

"One Plus One equals two and two plus two equals five"

the second part of the statement that says "two plus two equals five" is incorrect but does that mean it makes the "One Plus One equals two" part incorrect?

As a whole, it's not entirely true, but neither is it entirely false wink.gif

Depends on how you divide up the statement. If you say the whole things is one statement, it is false. If you say it is two statements, one is true, one is false. As far as I'm concerned it's 0 and 1 nothing in between.

Why are we stereotyping anyone again? Oh yes, Americans are either intelligent people or religious zealots.

They used to do that 1700s to 1960s.

Thats why black people are stereotypes because of whites, if white people didn't do slavery, then blacks are no stereotypes... Please think of the racism has U.S. made.

Slavery didn't start in the states and the states didn't start using blacks as slaves. So don't pin that shit on the US. They just made a big issue out of abolishing slavery.

This thread sucks. I've read things that are more misinformed than almost anywhere else here. Where the heck did you get that U.S. started the slave trade and is the cause of all racism between blacks and whites.
Anyway, we all know americans are fat, british people have bad teeth, mexicans are lazy, asians are good at math, middles easterners are terrorists, jews are greedy, christians are narrow minded, black people can dance and like fried chicken and water melon, white people are uptight, poor people live the way they do because they are lazy, people from new zealand have sex with animals, all japanese are pedophile scat fetishists, and all germans hate the inferior races.

In Canada, it is not uncommon to hear a joke or ten about Americans every day, mostly along the lines of imitations of a Texan accent or imitations of George Bush ("I think all people should receive a proper edumecation, to reduce the national level of stupididity.")

Americans are known, for the most part, as the guys with the big army.

Even though our army is, man for man, better-trained than the US's. It's a shame our army is so small, though. Last I heard, it was only like 300,000 strong.

Very little of that is true, but there are people that fit into every one of them, as odd as a few sound.

Bleh, the troubles with text not having the same effect as voice. The whole thing is pretty confusing because it's hard to tell if people are just listing stuff or if they are accusing the US of the stereotypes. Still, anyone who seriously these is pretty misinformed :/

There are stereotypes that happen from place to place inside the US. Especially with word usage and accents (Soda, pop, etc). Many people will say people from the south are racists, or "simple" people. I'm not too sure about stereotypes for the north, considering that's where I live.

Trust me, even most of the rednecks down here (The older ones anyways) admit they're not as smart as the northerners.
