Wow, that was kind of assholish, constanze

This was over from the “unexpected unfairness in movies” thread. Spoilers, sort of, for the old movie Ghost.

Wow. Generalize much? Maybe you’ve been watching too many movies. And I would love to hear more about how even-tempered and righteous you Europeans are.

OK, I know constanze was probably just letting his/her mouth (or typing fingers) run faster than his./her good sense, but still. That was kinda rude and crude, there. Y’know, the Punisher is an American fantasy, not an American reality.

That is a whopping generalization.

The Punisher isn’t even American fantasy. I don’t understand why he’s classified as a super-hero; isn’t killing people basically all he does?

Speaking as a European and a citizen of a country that brought killing in the name of revenge to almost a horrible art form I’d say that constanze is a jumped up fuck with a false sense of superiority.

Don’t think that the other 300 million of us are like that, well I’m sure that out of that number there are many like him but aren’t there everywhere.

Bloody Death to anyone who says I’m not a peace loving pacifist .

Maybe the hot-tempered ones all killed each other during the two world wars they dragged everybody else into in the last century.

You’re Italian? :smiley:

Captain Carrot:

Killing criminals is all he does. But other heroes don’t like to be associated with him because he is so violent (he, in turn, respects them but feels free to disagree). He’s a vigilante, but not necessarily a hero.

I said almost. The Italians went all the way :wink:

:::handwaving::: the American okayness with revenge killing is inspired by the influence of the Scots-Irish upon our culture :::handwaving::::

There ya go :slight_smile:

Add in substance abuse problems as well just to be sure.

Well, Americans also “shoot at everything that threatens them”, grin like lobotomy patients, and beat our children.

Americans are kind of like the Joker in Batman, apparently.

Apparently roadsigns threaten them.

Ahh! A German. That explains everything :smiley:

Don’t forget that we shoot everything that moves, forcing our cops to fear for their lives.

Captain Amazing already posted that link.

I thought you shot everything that moves to force the cops to fear for their lives.

Highlighting everything your average american hates! Cops! And, well . . .

:stuck_out_tongue:

Uh huh. All Americans wear a skull tee shirt and just look for excuses to wipe out huge numbers of people. Those who don’t like that look go for the old Clint Eastwood western style while they kill people, for a more “old skool” feel. :rolleyes:

I believe in pacifism to the point where I am willing to kill non-pacifists if they do not embrace pacifism immediately.

All American cops eat donuts. not ‘doughnuts’, donuts.

When Americans go abroad they wear loud hawaian shirts and beige shorts, socks with sandals, and talk louder than everyone else.

Americans over the age of about 50 have heads about 20 percent larger than non Americans.

Over the age of 60 the nose is about 50 percent larger.

All Americans love their Govornment and President unquestioningly.

All American teenage girls have high-pitch voices.

All Americans are at risk of drinking household cleaning products unless instructed otherwise.

Americans never drink more than 3 alcoholic beverages in any given week (any more than that and they’re alcoholics)

Americans are not aware that coffee is hot. They need to be told.

Upon birth each American child is registered with a therapist.

Help me out here, the world needs to know about those weird Americans.
