nice song

@youdotoo3 Super power of the world? Do you actually believe that? Who saved Europe when and from who? Buddy, you have 45 million people in America out of work, 20+ million living on the street, a banking system that's bankrupt, 2 hopeless wars and now a third beginning in Tripoli, people can't even go to the doctor without insurance, fuck that. Europe ain't perfect but I'd never, never move back to America again. Oil? From Saudi Arabia? America is finished, it's sad but that's how empires go.

[youdotoo3]

@CzechDetectingChap You forget that we are what made the world that is today. We still have the money the oil we own the industries of China and the most guns. We can take away our industries in China, Mexico, and other countries that do our work for us. We are still the super power of the world and don't you forget. You were a fool to move to Europe. Not to mention we saved all of Europe.

[CzechDetectingChap]

@youdotoo3 What the fuck are you going on about this time? I'm an American myself, and I can tell you, Sebastian knows what the fuck he's talking about. It's sad to say, but America has officially fucked itself in the ass. I live in Europe now, watching the US die, whatever, we brought it on ourselves, and I'm not sad to see it go after the havoc we brought on other nations. Get out while you still can America! You've no friends left.

[youdotoo3]

@SebastianEngland  And the British have nothing on us. Look at who defeated you and saved you. We should of let the Germans get you while we worried with Japan.

shit song

[SvalbardJanMayen1976]

@TheQuestioner132 at least we still have economies. Yanks will be bartering bread for bullets soon, and I'll sit back and have a good chuckle.

Alea jacta est!

Obama didn't get you into your mess Yank redneck, you did with your hunger for bullshit trinkets, SUVs, credit this and credit that. You could use some socialism, because it's pretty obvious you can't control yourself. But that's OK, we in Europe are doing just fine. Merry Christmas!
