OP maybe they all think your an arrogant ass because you corrected a guy who tried to give you advice.

when some one tries to help you, and then you tell them, “no no no your wrong” its kind of rude. it doesnt matter if they are right or wrong. all that matters is that you be respectfull and say thank you. you dont have to follow the advice, just dont correct them. so many times people have told me bla bla bla, and i just say “thanks man, know what you mean” and then i get on with my training. maybe il even give an excuse why i have to do it my way to appear less rude. the result is that those guys are still friendly with me every time i train there.

its like when some one offers you a drink, and you say “no man, thats disgusting i hate that shit”

its just rude.

maybe your used to being direct and telling people what you do and how you do it or whatever. but when your in europe, people are different and tend to talk to each other differently. its nothing to do with you being a super stud american. no one give a shit if your american.

especially ireland. lol if some one told you some advice in a porper irish gym, and you said “no man, bla bla bla” it doesnt matter how nice you say it, its still rude.

that would even piss me off.

its like a nice way of saying " fuck off, mind your bussiness"

just nod your head and ignore if you have to. never correct them.

now go make some friends

Wow, you just made me very, very proud to be an american. When I feel like cutting my balls off and becoming more like you, a fuckin pansy who wants to conform to what everyone tells him- just to be “polite”, I’ll let you know.

By the way, I lived in Cork, Ireland for 6 months about 2 years ago, and you’re first irishman I’ve met with a pussy. Congratulations

sorry, was I being “rude”?

Saying you lived in cork for 6 months doesnt mean SHIT.

i lived in ireland for 12 years, and i lived in america the other 10 years of my life. thats alot more significant than your shitty 6 months of expertise of irish culture. you know nothing. your probably one of those guys who wheres an “i love ireland” shirt, and you think your irish now.

i dont conform myself to what every one tells me. i cut slack for people in the real world in real gyms especially when im new to that gym.

some guy makes an effort to start chatting to you in the gym by saying so and so, and you say “no dude, my range of motion bla bla poo poo” what are you doing?

dont you realise that offering advce or asking for spots is how people introduce them selves in gyms? dont you realise that no one likes you because your an arrogant asshole whos “proud to be american” lol where the fuck did that comment come from. you watch too many movies or something

unless some stupid prick is saying non sense to you, you should have the decency to NOT be an arrogant moron and hush him away.

if you did that to me, i would never speak to you again in the gym. and neither would any one else.
thats how people get to know each other in gyms, thats how you MEET people. thats how you make FRIENDS. otherwise your just going to end up like “billy no mates”.
believe it or not people DONT approache you in gyms and say " hello there fello brother of iron, i would like to share some ideas with you and spot you on the bench. i would like to make friends and then one day grab a beer and watch the game with you fellow brother. have a high five good sir"

YOUR the one asking advice on why no one likes you in europe. IM the one in EUROPE who ANALYSED your comment, and TOLD you why no one likes you. and now YOUR the one saying “no no pansy boy, you have a vagina and your wrong” ( dumb child?)

you have just proved my initial point that you are an ass.

nobody likes assholes, maybe other assholes do. and maybe the gym you train in in your hometown is full of assholes like you. but in the rest of the world, your a cocky full of shit chump.

and i would outlift you any day of the week. start posting videos
well see whos a pansy with a vagina

fucking idiot

every country has its idiots. your the american version

Have a high five good sir.

Looks like we’re not talking about the original threat topic anymore.

Whenever I do rack deadlifts, young women will look at me like I just pulled down my pants and took a shit in front of them (grossly offended not turned on).

Hooboy, the ol’ “Stop shitting infront of me” look.

My heart kinda sank when I read the “America is best! YEEAAH!” reply, I’ve only been to the states twice and I was pleasantly surprised when the people I spoke to were down to earth and weren’t telling me how everything is bigger and better “In America!”

As for the European guys in the gym, maybe they think you’re a dick, maybe they’re jealous, maybe it’s sexual tension…

If people outside of the U.S. are not overly friendly to you maybe it is becuase of your dck head attitude, or that you make ignorant and Un-intelligent statements?

On what basis are you claiming that The U.S> is the greatest country in the history of man?

Is it the size of your army (the same army that invented the term �??friendly fire�??)
Is it your strong economy?
Is it your well respected and intelligent leader?

If you wish to make stupid ass comments like this may I suggest you read up (OK maybe you can find a film about the following, I know Mel Gibson makes world history much easier to understand for you)

Ancient Egyptians
Byzantines
the Roman empire
Acient Greeks
Britain (during the industrial revolution when they controlled 90% of global trade)

The US today does not even come close sorry dude

Shit posts like this are pure jealousy. To claim that the US doesn’t ccome close to these old civilizations is silly.

can you explain how currently the US is even close to controlling 90% of global trade?

can you show the source for your statistics and adequately explain the variables in the process?

Google would be a gret place to start if you wish to find statistics realting to Britains global power during the indutrial revolution, my examples of course are only relative to the time that they took place, during the industrial revolution Britain had the largest and best Navy in the world, but if that Navy was around today it of course would not stand up almost any countries current Naval capabilities

I figured you wouldn’t know what you were talking about.

Not sure what draws you to that conclusion

Britain once controlled 90% of global trade
the US has never achieved this level
Britain was more of a global superpower during the industrial revolution that Americ is global superpower today

There are no variables to take into account just simple percentile comparisons of simple statistics from both time periods.

Variables are what make up the statistics that give a percentile. Each individual variable plays a role and carries a certain weight in an equation. The weight of variables in an equation giving an answer such as yours are more than likely up for major debate.

You can’t even show one source backing your claim and I’m calling bs.

When you make a statement, the burden of proof is on you. You claim Britain controlled 90% of the worlds trade during the industrial revolution.

Show your sources.

In the mean time, please tell me how often you and your buddies wear blue jeans, how many McDonalds and Starbucks you pass in your day to day activities, how widespread Coca Cola, Pepsi and other American products are in Europe, where all the best movies come from (modern day theater) who inspires or produces the TV shows you watch (a window in to culture) and also describe what Europe would look like if America never butted in on the world wars.

I think you’d be speaking german while enjoying american products and culture wrapped in to a european shell.

Nobody is disputing Americas current global status as the number 1 super power on the planet currently today as we speak, not long before China and/or the EU take over this mantle possibly?

it was a long time ago that I learnt that piece of information so I cannot point you to a specific quote right now im afraid, this might offer you the same information

Germany scraped numerous plans to invade Britain during the 2nd world war it was not seen as a viable prospect. Americas intervention (a bitlate I might add) was very helpfull in winning the war for the allies, it is very difficult for anyone to predict what the state of Europw would be right now if America had not assisted with the war against Germany so I will not atempt it, personally I do not think it would be so drastically different as a permanent occup[ation of so many countries would have been very difficult to sustain for Germany and would rely on the Nazi party remaining in power.

maybe this would be better in PM if you wish to debate further these posts are getting long, but please bear in mind I am not attacking the US, just pointing out that the guys attituse of USA USA USA when abroad is rather shit and he can only expect people outside of the US to dislike him for that attitude, it is interesting that HE was unable to back up his rants with the same kind of intellect you have evidenced, but then I doubt you would have that same attitude when abroad.

Most significant inventions? I don’t think so.

I would much rather live in America than in; the Roman Empire, Ancient Greece, the Byzantine Empire, Ancient Eqypt, or Industrial Britain! Who the hell wouldn’t. I have way more freedom.

Another reason we’re so great is the music. We gave the world Jazz, Blues, Elvis, Rock, Country, Blue Grass, Metal, Funk, Disco, R and B, Van Halen, Pantera, ect. The only country that comes close is Britain but keep in mind that Ozzy’s later guitar players were Americans. I have to give props to JS Bach but the WWII thing took those countries out the game.

Government wise, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights are the works of shear genus and the first of its kind (even though it was somewhat based on the Magna Carta). It set a trend threw out the world.

Don’t you people have manners at all ?

Seriously.

And to the OP, most people won’t “like” you if you do “real” exercises. In almost every commercial gym I come I’m bound to get the same looks initially.

Think of it this way : They don’t “dare” to come and say hi. They’re usually insecure, or see what’s lacking with themselves.

Now DON’t let this fool you into an arrogant high-and-mighty attitude ! That would be way too easy …

Just be spontaneous yourself, and go up to them. If they still act snotty once you greet them then it’s their lack of manners.

I love that you felt the need to explain that women would not be turned on by you taking a shit in front of them. I have this imagine of someone reading that and being like, “that’s what I’ve been doing wrong!”

“threw out the world” What did it pick up the rest of the world and throw it out into space I do not understand?

I’m pretty sure the first thing written in the vein of the Bill of Rights would be the document on human rights set down by Cyrus the Great, founder of the Persian Empire, when he freed the slaves in Babylon. 539 BC, I think.

Over the last (approximately) 100 years the US has led the world economically, militarily, scientifically, even our crappy TV and movies seem to drive world culture changes.

You may not like it but it is real.

Not sure how you ‘lead the world’ on these matters, if you can offer any insight on why you would think this this that would be very interesting.

Biggest economy in th eworld, strongest military in the world, most significant inventions and innovations, most influential cultural. I don’t see how you can possibly dispute these things. The only reason things are changing around the world is because other countries are emulating us.

Britain did not repress free trade suring the industrial revolution it created mass global trade at the time.

The certainly did repress free trade. They shot holes in ships that tried to trade freely. I am not sure how much more repressive you can be.[/quote]

This is all winding me up too much now for me to stay silent any longer. I can’t belive people are taking so much reflected glory from the place they live in. As individuals we’re all the same, did any of you americans actually take part in the second world war, no, then shut the fuck up, and, my english country men, did any of you spurn the industrial revolusion, what was that, NO, then shut the fuck up. As far as i’m concerend we don’t belong to an individual nation we’re all human and this bickering is just stupid. you should never juge a person by the achivements of their nation.

And remember in nations with mass media we are all subject to our own countries properganda, take a step back when your presented with something, ask yourself, does this have any ‘spin’ on it? are they trying to sell me a half truth?

But, think about this, taking pride in Americas achivements and belittleling Europes is all a matter of perspective because genetically Americans ARE Europeans.

If i were you i’d have kept quiet about that one, i know he has a rather deluded following but come on now people, you’ve got to admit that even if at the time his music was good, now it just sounds shit and out of date and should be just left to die in the past where it belongs.
