Homo erectus means "man standing up".
Aren't we all just descendants of that old species?
You made your dad Homo Erectus last night.
That's amazing considering I haven't seen him in years.

Oh, I don't really like watching sports all that much; but I hope you had fun.

This is part of the reason we think Americans are dumb. They understand very little about what they hate.
Great way to generalize.
It is every non-American's duty to generalise you strange lot a lot; yet still somehow a lot less than you do to everyone else.
*generalize
We strange lot? Quite an ignorant assertion.

Just to point out, it's usually just good natured banter between yanks and brits with the spelling corrections on here. We have to tell them that they spell their words incorrectly and they try to protest that simplifying the language (See: Dumbing it down) is best.
Simplification is a good thing, like they did for the Chinese written language and the German shifts in usage of consonants. The problems occur when you try to simplify words that are spelt that way for a certain reason (See: paedophile/paediatrician).

Correct? Learn cultural differences. You might suffering from superiority complex which is sad since an American has less arrogance than you at this moment.
You were the one arrogant enough to try and correct me in the first place. :^)

it is because it's not French.
Nothing good ever came from France, barring Opinel knives and Mr. Lafayette.

too bad everything you listed was made better by other nations.
And lolConcorde crash.
They only really retired it after the slump in passengers following 11/9/2001 though.
They only had one crash, and that was in 2000.
And now supersonic commercial and bizjet type certificates are essentially nonexistent, so its even more irelevent.
It was fucking fun and quick to fly on though. I loved every minute. Concorde to Australia was fun, and hopefully they'll bring back supersonic airliners.

I've never heard any Americans say that.
Why do all other countries insist on circpejerking their hate for America?
Because there's a lot to hate. It's a country founded on war and violence. War to form the country. War on the native, original poplulation. Violence towards blacks via slavery. Vietnam. The conflicts in the east.
The government is, without even arguing, retarded. The companies and corporations that originate from are oppressive string pullers over there that nikel and dime you and others.
And some of the people, although I'm not saying they're bad, are riding a very old hype train of "we're the best" based off old events in history when the world is leaving them behind right now in advancements.
And lastly, the population itself is so divided and against itself.
The proof is in the numbers. More speficially, I'm not saying it's the people. But the american government, its sociatal values, its blind patriotisim and practical propaganda, make the country a place to dislike and a place to hate, and an easy target.
Russia fits this little stereotype of yours far better than America.
Do we see people hating on Russia they way they hate on America? Nope. Because nobody's jealous of Russia. Russia isn't anywhere near as relevant in anything as America is.
There are very valid criticisms to make on America. The ones you just made can be applied to every single country on the planet.
You know, part of the reason stereotypes exist is because they play a hand in reality. They do, have a founding. A stereotype is just too broad of a generalization and yet at the same time it still has a vague sense of merit.
Anyway.
A true point to dislike about America. It's an expansive, smothering and consuming culture. Case and and point.
Mcdonalds. Walmart. Target. Best Buy.
These stores are all across the world. These places push into other cultures and erode them over time. Japan. Japan's youth are having problems because they're moving away from their countries traditional way of eating and going to Mcdonalds.
This is what you'd call passive aggressive culture smothering. Set up shop in a country, and sell them your shit, and you gain control. You influence the culture passively by selling them your shit until all that's left is another western-esque clone and a shell of a country, its people, and its culutre.
This, is undeniable. And it's America that pushes this across the entire world.
Nobody's forced to go to McDonalds.
There's no "cultural smothering" going on. People like going to McDonald's, so they go eat there. If the Japanese youth is fucked up, that's Japan's problem. McDonald's doesn't make young Japanese people not have sex and become obsessed with anime. That's traditional Japanese culture, funnily enough, being too strict and forcing kids to go to extremes.
These American stores wouldn't stay open for years and years in there countries if the locals didn't buy things from them. Don't like it? Don't buy it.
But don't dare act like America itself has this agenda of destroying every other culture when
1. These are companies expanding to make more money and become more successful.
2. America is the most culturally diverse place on the planet.
3. Neither the American government or people have any say in the matter of McDonald's setting up shop in Tokyo.
There's nothing "undeniable" about any of what you said. It's just more foreigner hatred for America from yet another foreigner who hasn't set foot in America.
Lol, cite sources pls.
My sources say that your information is bullshit
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_ranked_by_ethnic_and_cultural_diversity_level
In the Fearon list, cultural fractionalization is approximated by a measure of similarity between languages, varying from 1 = the population speaks two or more unrelated languages to 0 = the entire population speaks the same language.[3] This index of cultural diversity is biased towards linguistic variations as opposed to genetic diversity and other variations.
Do you read any of the articles you post? Or are you going all out in an attempt to be the forum's new Kinder?
So essentially, your job is misrepresenting your arguments in order to justify the stupidity coming out of your mouth?
Good to know, I'll just refrain from taking the bait.
How am I misrepresenting anything? You're the one using a list that's linguistically biased simply to be contrarian.
America is the most culturally and ethnically diverse country on the planet. If you want to close your eyes and cover your ears while saying Papua New Guinea is the most diverse based on a biased linguistics list, you're more than welcome.
Cultural and ethnic diversity is about different types of people populating the country, racially and ethnically.
Exactly.
It has nothing to do with what languages are spoken. Then why did you link that article which was a list of countries' diversity based on language
I speak four languages myself, and this doesn't make me any more diverse culturally.
This is hilarious. You didn't even read the article you posted and you think I'm the one saying diversity is about language even though I posted that in a quote linking it to the same page you linked.
Holy shit you're retarded. Read the shit you post.
I would, but your argument seems to be based on ad hominem and misrepresenting the point you're trying to make rather than refuting me.
#wasteoftime
Oh, I'm not trying to insult you when I'm calling you retarded. I'm telling the truth.
You're so retarded that you didn't even read the article you posted, and you were just arguing against the points you made on the previous page.
I mean what the fuck. This is just sad. You're telling me I'm misrepresenting something when I said America is the most culturally and ethnically diverse, then you posted an article that was basing diversity in a country on linguistics when it's completely irrelevant.
Holy shit. Even Kinder was more consistent than this.
No, it's you who skimmed it, saw linguistic, and closed the tab.
Ad hominem has no place in an intellectual discussion; so continue fighting a losing battle like you did in Vietnam.

In case you didn't see it last time. The entire list is based on linguistics. Linguistics means languages (languages are a compilation of the sounds we make with our mouths to communicate btw).
And you didn't think to look at the second list which is aimed more at a mixture of linguistic, ethnic, and cultural variation?

British people
That's a race?
American education isn't looking good right now.
Sorry to kill your raging hard on for Americans, but Byrne is Irish.
He's basically an American with that logic.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_British
I think you need to go back to school.
Except that outside the US, we typically refer to people as their nationality unless their ethnicity is a necessary identifier.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_nationality_law#Classes_of_British_nationality
Are you retarded? Why did you link an article detailing British Nationality law?
And if you would've read the article I posted, you'd realize those are British classifications of race in the UK. They aren't used in the U.S. White British is a race in the UK. Just as White Irish is. The nationality would be British, but you may be Asian Britsh, Black British etc.
Seriously, go back to school.
Links Wikipedia
tells people to go back to school
you're having a giggle, m8.
The article is fully cited and sourced. White British is a race in the UK.
If you want to go ahead and deny the facts, you can do that. But the only thing you'll achieve is looking as angry and stupid as Mr Death to America here.
No, the race descriptor is white or Caucasian.
White/british is an ethnicity.
"An ethnic group or ethnicity is a socially defined category of people who identify with each other based on common ancestral, social, cultural or national experience."
Furthermore, I'm not a Mr.
If you people refer to Jews as a race, then the British are a race. So are the Irish and the Scots. Especially since they aren't exactly Caucasians like white Eastern Europeans are. If you have an issue with that call up the British government.
Jews are a Semitic race, along with arabs.
Judaism is a religion. Arabs are a race.
What do you call a black Jew? A Semite? LOL
It's a religion, but it's also a descriptor given to certain ethnic group I guess. It's more social than a genetic race, their race is Semitic.

Correct? Learn cultural differences. You might suffering from superiority complex which is sad since an American has less arrogance than you at this moment.
You were the one arrogant enough to try and correct me in the first place. :^)

British people
That's a race?
American education isn't looking good right now.
Sorry to kill your raging hard on for Americans, but Byrne is Irish.
He's basically an American with that logic.

I think you need to go back to school.
Except that outside the US, we typically refer to people as their nationality unless their ethnicity is a necessary identifier.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_nationality_law#Classes_of_British_nationality
Are you retarded? Why did you link an article detailing British Nationality law?
And if you would've read the article I posted, you'd realize those are British classifications of race in the UK. They aren't used in the U.S. White British is a race in the UK. Just as White Irish is. The nationality would be British, but you may be Asian Britsh, Black British etc.
Seriously, go back to school.

you're having a giggle, m8.
The article is fully cited and sourced. White British is a race in the UK.
If you want to go ahead and deny the facts, you can do that. But the only thing you'll achieve is looking as angry and stupid as Mr Death to America here.
No, the race descriptor is white or Caucasian.
White/british is an ethnicity.
"An ethnic group or ethnicity is a socially defined category of people who identify with each other based on common ancestral, social, cultural or national experience."
Furthermore, I'm not a Mr.
If you people refer to Jews as a race, then the British are a race. So are the Irish and the Scots. Especially since they aren't exactly Caucasians like white Eastern Europeans are. If you have an issue with that call up the British government.
Jews are a Semitic race, along with arabs.

I'll die before I let some inbred royal dictate my future. I just want to let people know he doesn't speak for all of us Americunts. This post hurt to read.
>unironically not shitting on monarchy, objectively the worst form of government in history.
>not knowing what a Constitutional Monarchy is
This is part of the reason we think Americans are dumb. They understand very little about what they hate.
Great way to generalize.
It is every non-American's duty to generalise you strange lot a lot; yet still somehow a lot less than you do to everyone else.

I've never heard any Americans say that.
Why do all other countries insist on circpejerking their hate for America?
Because there's a lot to hate. It's a country founded on war and violence. War to form the country. War on the native, original poplulation. Violence towards blacks via slavery. Vietnam. The conflicts in the east.
The government is, without even arguing, retarded. The companies and corporations that originate from are oppressive string pullers over there that nikel and dime you and others.
And some of the people, although I'm not saying they're bad, are riding a very old hype train of "we're the best" based off old events in history when the world is leaving them behind right now in advancements.
And lastly, the population itself is so divided and against itself.
The proof is in the numbers. More speficially, I'm not saying it's the people. But the american government, its sociatal values, its blind patriotisim and practical propaganda, make the country a place to dislike and a place to hate, and an easy target.
Russia fits this little stereotype of yours far better than America.
Do we see people hating on Russia they way they hate on America? Nope. Because nobody's jealous of Russia. Russia isn't anywhere near as relevant in anything as America is.
There are very valid criticisms to make on America. The ones you just made can be applied to every single country on the planet.
You know, part of the reason stereotypes exist is because they play a hand in reality. They do, have a founding. A stereotype is just too broad of a generalization and yet at the same time it still has a vague sense of merit.
Anyway.
A true point to dislike about America. It's an expansive, smothering and consuming culture. Case and and point.
Mcdonalds. Walmart. Target. Best Buy.
These stores are all across the world. These places push into other cultures and erode them over time. Japan. Japan's youth are having problems because they're moving away from their countries traditional way of eating and going to Mcdonalds.
This is what you'd call passive aggressive culture smothering. Set up shop in a country, and sell them your shit, and you gain control. You influence the culture passively by selling them your shit until all that's left is another western-esque clone and a shell of a country, its people, and its culutre.
This, is undeniable. And it's America that pushes this across the entire world.
Nobody's forced to go to McDonalds.
There's no "cultural smothering" going on. People like going to McDonald's, so they go eat there. If the Japanese youth is fucked up, that's Japan's problem. McDonald's doesn't make young Japanese people not have sex and become obsessed with anime. That's traditional Japanese culture, funnily enough, being too strict and forcing kids to go to extremes.
These American stores wouldn't stay open for years and years in there countries if the locals didn't buy things from them. Don't like it? Don't buy it.
But don't dare act like America itself has this agenda of destroying every other culture when
1. These are companies expanding to make more money and become more successful.
2. America is the most culturally diverse place on the planet.
3. Neither the American government or people have any say in the matter of McDonald's setting up shop in Tokyo.
There's nothing "undeniable" about any of what you said. It's just more foreigner hatred for America from yet another foreigner who hasn't set foot in America.
Lol, cite sources pls.
My sources say that your information is bullshit
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_ranked_by_ethnic_and_cultural_diversity_level
In the Fearon list, cultural fractionalization is approximated by a measure of similarity between languages, varying from 1 = the population speaks two or more unrelated languages to 0 = the entire population speaks the same language.[3] This index of cultural diversity is biased towards linguistic variations as opposed to genetic diversity and other variations.
Do you read any of the articles you post? Or are you going all out in an attempt to be the forum's new Kinder?
So essentially, your job is misrepresenting your arguments in order to justify the stupidity coming out of your mouth?
Good to know, I'll just refrain from taking the bait.
How am I misrepresenting anything? You're the one using a list that's linguistically biased simply to be contrarian.
America is the most culturally and ethnically diverse country on the planet. If you want to close your eyes and cover your ears while saying Papua New Guinea is the most diverse based on a biased linguistics list, you're more than welcome.
Cultural and ethnic diversity is about different types of people populating the country, racially and ethnically. It has nothing to do with what languages are spoken. I speak four languages myself, and this doesn't make me any more diverse culturally.
