I wasn't necessarily saying that every person in Germany has a negative opinion of the U.S., but it does seem at times like the U.S. gets the typical "yee haw let's bomb everything in sight I love killing stuff yeah" stereotype tacked on a lot (though thinking about it, I guess I can see why).
And what's wrong with this stereotypical point, included the proof that the second biggest thing who gets money is the U.S. Army?
The first one is social btw. And I get my facts right. And I'm even further annoyed, that you said country. Dude. It doesn't matter which country said that. Seriously germany is on your<< side... and

Well, the American Army meddles in just about any international conflict there is. Where'd you think that stereotype came from? Let those countries solve it for themselves for once. (Especially in cases like in Egypt, a couple of months ago. American participation was absolutely unnecessary there.)
this. I mean it isn't stereotypical at all. It's happening. RIGHT NOW.
btw Leod made the point. It doesn't matter if I'm german or not. In fact, I'm not really german either, I have Croatian and serbish(?not sure if correctly spelled) roots. You see, I say UshitA to dumb people thinking that they have the right to kill one fuckin man but instead killed him AND caused horrib' damage to the country, too. You can say now "but they destroyed our lovely towers, too!11" but there enough proofs that it is an inside job, just read something about how the message of the destroyed towers comes even
before the tower was destroyed in TV (I hate it that they deleted the video on Youtube...>_>). I mean WTF? It's the fuckin same story like the Reichstagbrand... or wait, here the english version:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichstag_fire
You see, it's nearly the SAME FUCKIN SHIT
-one guy made some ouch to a big building
-the country with the destroyed building has a reason to make a war...
Where's the difference, seriously? Of course it's not the same country, but I hope you get my point. And if you read this article, you read that it's nearly impossible for one guy to make a whole buildung burnin...in this case.
Or they intimidate the United Arab Emirates with war because they wanted there oil to be selled with € instead of $ ...
But however, enough of my hate. I start to flame, because I'm not that great than I try to spell in English, so I have to use offense words or however they are called. meh

Also, the other day I talked to a friend of mine who said it is good organisations like Al Qaeda exist. It keeps people trembling in fear, but that also means there is no chance of a Third World War. People are not overconfident of themselves, like they've been right before WWI (and, to a much lesser extent, WWII, but that war was indirectly a result of WWI). If it weren't for the terrorists who we are fighting, we might be fighting ourselves or another nation (think North Korea) over a much larger scale.
It was an interesting thing to hear - I don't really know what to think of this, though.
That's an interesting ascept if you ask me, because it makes sense.
