The American World - Page 2

HAhahahahahah,
Funny Map, I can confirm that Americans like to keep trophies on the wall in the form of animal heads (yes Moose heads) I bet someone will even figure out how to mount a mouse head, if it's possible, it will be done if it has'nt already. The authors concept of the American World is appreciated by this American. It is what the world is coming to that scares me. Happy holidays everyone!

For many people in US the world will be a better place without Latinos, Arabs, Niggers and Asians...

I use that word ironically, and what US people (Not Americans, because I'm american too, since I was born in America = Continent, not a single country) think is so obvious that doesn't deserve any explanation. I could bet that this map was made from a US person.

PS: May I suggest the word "Unitedstater" to call a native from the US? For the people who were born in America (the continent), like me, it's offensive to hear them to call US as America.

I want to insist in that issue... How can anybody be glad and happy to see a caricature like this one?
I mean... It's funny to see "Radioactive area" in Japan, where thousands of people were killed by the atomic bomb, first dropped by US people?
Is it amusing to see "Empty area" in Africa, where millions of people died because they can't get the medicines, since the bloody companies don't want to change the patents business?
Is it funny to see "Cocaine and Coffee" in SouthAmerica, where the US government has ravaged forests in Amazonia, just to get control over the area? And do I remember you that the firsts cocaine junkies in the world are Yanks?
Do the words "Nike Factory" and "Microsoft factory" entertain you? Children are not supposed to work, but to make balls for sport, many of them work for the big companies, and then they put a label on the ball saying: "This ball was not made by children".
And what about the Arms traffic? the Drug traffic? Human rights? Biological bombs? Pollution? War?
And if after all that do you still think it's funny, we're in a pretty fucked up world...
