I was thinking today about different cultures and the perceptions that go along with that. It’s still funny to me that people treat other people better or worse based solely on their nationality without even knowing that person. I think I’ve seen this everywhere I’ve ever been. It’s funny though that I think people are nicer to me or want to be my friend just cuz I’m american…(like americans automatically don’t want to be a friend to a mexican….are you a mexican or a mexican’t) So I started thinking about the pre conceived notions that go along with each country…and all I can come up with that americans abroad are famous for is being loud, obnoxious, and ignorant (at this point I’d like to say that I’ve been told many times that I’m not a typical american)…(at this point I’d like to add that I have on many occasions – ok regularly – been loud, obnoxious, and ignorant).

…all I can come up with is that the non-yanks think we’re all actors, movie stars or both…so they want to hang on/out to/with that…
apparently Jared Leto is trying to sing…I saw the video with the sound off, so I don’t know if he can actually sing, but I dislike it on principle…hello poseur…put on some more eyeliner jerk!!! typical video…MTV go away…I’m boycotting you as well…but seriously what happens when the whole world is watching the same 10 videos on MTV at the same time…this is where the worlds culture will come from in 100 years…the world is flat and small…

this somehow all comes down to americans stealing…erm terrorizing… no…liberating…no…raping…uh…pillaging…ahem…ethnically cleansing…I mean, populating the largest chunk of North America in less than 200 years…the concept of populations existing for thousands of years in near isolation does not register with them, so they don’t get that cultures existed for any length of time…manifest destiny and stuff….

if matt had written this it would have been well thought out and actually made the point I was attempting to formulate, but since it’s me…well…draw your own conflusions…

I just made up the word conflusion…I’m not going to edit it…it suits me…I am a god…
I mean yank…
