He has his moments, but you keep your distance from him. You dont mind him for the occasional family gathering or holiday. You still love him. But you dont want to be around him. Things I Hate About Me Pdf' title='10 Things I Hate About Me Pdf' />This is how I lovingly describe my current relationship with the United States. The United States is my alcoholic brother. And although I will always love him, I dont want to be near him at the moment. I know thats harsh, but I really feel my home country is not in a good place these days. Thats not a socioeconomic statement although thats on the decline as well, but rather a cultural one. I realize its going to be impossible to write sentences like the ones above without coming across as a raging prick, so let me try to soften the blow to my American readers with an analogy You know when you move out of your parents house and live on your own, how you start hanging out with your friends families and you realize that actually, your family was a little screwed up As it turns out, stuff you always assumed was normal your entire childhood was pretty weird and may have actually fucked you up a little bit. You know, dad thinking it was funny to wear a Santa Claus hat in his underwear every Christmas or the fact that you and your sister slept in the same bed until you were 2. Elton John. The point is we dont really get perspective on whats close to us until we spend time away from it.

You might have heard the terms fathate or fatphobia used to describe your words or what sounded to you like the reasonable words of others. Maybe you dont hate.

Real cool, stylish photo by Claire Lower. My lookif I even possess such a thingis best described as equal parts teenage dirtbag and someone who. Just like you didnt realize the weird quirks and nuances of your family until you left and spent time with others, the same is true for country and culture. You often dont see whats messed up about your country and culture until you step outside of it. And so even though this article is going to come across as fairly scathing, I want my American readers to know this some of the stuff we do, some of the stuff that we always assumed was normal, its kind of screwed up. And thats OK. Because thats true with every culture. Its just easier to spot it in others e. French so we dont always notice it in ourselves. So as you read this article, know that Im saying everything with tough love, the same tough love with which Id sit down and lecture an alcoholic family member. It doesnt mean I dont love you.

A Little What The Hell Does This Guy Know Background Ive lived in half a dozen states in the US, primarily in the deep south and the northeast. I have visited 4. USs 5. 0 states. I also lived abroad for seven years, primarily in South America and Asia with various stints in Europe. I speak three languages. Im married to a foreigner. So I feel like I have a good perspective on the US from both the inside and outside. Note I realize all the things on this list are generalizations and I realize there are always exceptions. I get it. You dont have to send 5. If you really get that offended from some guys blog post, you may want to double check your life priorities. OK, were ready now. Americans dont know about America. Few People Are Impressed By Us. Unless youre speaking with a real estate agent or a prostitute, chances are theyre not going to be excited that youre American. Its not some badge of honor we get to parade around. Yes, we had Steve Jobs and Thomas Edison, but unless you actually are Steve Jobs or Thomas Edison which is unlikely, then most people around the world are simply not going to care. There are exceptions of course. And those exceptions are called English and Australian people. Whoopdie fucking doo. As Americans, were brought up our entire lives being taught that were the best, we did everything first and that the rest of the world follows our lead. Not only is this not true, but people get irritated when you bring it to their country with you. So dont. 2. Few People Hate Us. Despite the occasional eye rolling, and complete inability to understand why anyone would vote for George W. Bush twice, people from other countries dont hate us either. In fact and I know this is a really sobering realization for us most people in the world dont really think about us or care about us. I know, that sounds absurd, especially with CNN and Fox News showing the same 2. Arab men on repeat for ten years straight. But unless were invading someones country or threatening to invade someones country which is likely, then theres a 9. Just like we rarely think about the people in Bolivia or Mongolia, most people dont think about us much. They have jobs, kids, house payments you know, those things called lives to worry about. Kind of like us. Americans tend to assume that the rest of the world either loves us or hates us this is actually a good litmus test to tell if someone is conservative or liberal. The fact is, most people feel neither. Most people dont think much about us. Remember that immature girl in high school, how every little thing that happened to her meant that someone either hated her or was obsessed with her who thought every teacher who ever gave her a bad grade was being totally unfair and everything good that happened to her was because of how amazing she was Yeah, were that immature high school girl. We Know Nothing About The Rest Of The World. For all of our talk about being global leaders and how everyone follows us, we dont seem to know much about our supposed followers. They often have completely different takes on history than we do. Here were some brain stumpers for me the Vietnamese were more concerned with independence not us, Hitler was primarily defeated by the Soviet Union not us, there is evidence that Native Americans were wiped out largely by disease and plague BEFORE Europeans arrived and not just after, and the American Revolution was partly won because the British invested more of their resources in fighting France not us. Notice a running theme hereHint Its not all about us. The world is more complicated. We did not invent democracy. We didnt even invent modern democracy. There were parliamentary systems in England and other parts of Europe over a hundred years before we created a government. In a recent survey of young Americans, 6. Iraq on a map despite being at war with them, and 5. Sudan was a country in Africa. Yet, somehow were positive that everyone else looks up to us. We Are Poor At Expressing Gratitude And Affection. Theres a saying about English speakers. We say Go fuck yourself, when we really mean I like you, and we say I like you, when we really mean Go fuck yourself. Outside of getting shit housed drunk and screaming I LOVE YOU, MAN, open displays of affection in American culture are tepid and rare. Latin and some European cultures describe us as cold and passionless and for good reason. In our social lives we dont say what we mean and we dont mean what we say. In our culture, appreciation and affection are implied rather than spoken outright. Two guy friends call each other names to reinforce their friendship men and women tease and make fun of each other to imply interest. Feelings are almost never shared openly and freely.

Kat haat aan Pat Patrick Ik haat de manier waarop je met me praat, en de manier waarop je je haar knipt. Ik haat de manier waarop je in mijn auto rijdt. Ik haat het wanneer je staart. Ik haat je grote, domme laarzen en de manier waarop je mijn gedachten leest. Ik haat je zo erg, ik word er ziek van, ik ga er zelfs van rijmen. Ik haat het dat je altijd gelijk hebt. Ik haat het als je liegt. Ik haat het als je me laat lachen, nog erger als je me aan het huilen brengt. Ik haat het als je niet in de buurt bent, en het feit dat je niet belde. Maar ik haat het meeste de manier waarop ik je niet haat. Niet eens weinig, niet eens een klein beetje, maar juist helemaal niet. De Engelstalige versie van de 1. Kat haat aan Pat Patrick I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick it even makes me rhyme. I hate the way youre always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it when youre not around, and the fact that you didnt call. But mostly I hate the way I dont hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all. Prijzen en nominatiesbewerkenDe film won in 2. CFCA Award 2. 00. Veel belovende actrice Julia Stiles. MTV Movie Award 2.
