I'm generally annoyed with you, yes you Americans in IBD

I had to make a profile to say -

Unoriginal Troll.

Enjoy my American turd.

Proud to say, Made in good ole USA.

May I add something?

12. You british/european people had to go invade other countries and steal their ressources since you were too stupid to develop something on your own.

Soon enough you will be back to the dark ages. Thanks to your clueless fellow Keynes. ha!

Who cares.....Europeans are dying out becuase they are too selfish and lazy to have children and would rather retire at 50 and live on the welfare state. Even Germany, that bastion of economic prowess is suffering from declining birth rates....its only a matter of time until Eurabia becomes a reality.

The Eurabia thing is not because of the birth rates but because we don't have an Ocean that separates us from them... About the lazy thing, what is the country with the highest obesity rate?

Worst new poster.

while I personally enjoy some snobbery trolling, sadly OP is cringeworthingly middle-class.

Weak trolling effort magnified by your misuse of they're in your first paragraph.

Going to find the article of the dude who posted something similar on another site. I think he was Aussie who essentially posted a bitch list of about 20 items on why Americans suck.

Read his and then realize how dumb you actually sound.

Also, learn how to spell, use proper grammar and punctuation.

Only a Brit of the middling bourgeois breed would declare that "the only time to do it is at night."

"Europeans feel European sometimes. Furthermore, do not assume what Europeans like. You simply do not know yet." Nobody cares. Most of Europe is inferior. I could care less what anyone on the continent likes or doesn't like.

This isn't funny, insightful or original. Way to show how superior you are.

Dude, I'm so sorry I offended you with my American ways! Please, take my soul - you are clearly a better guardian of it than I could ever be.

We need more posts like this. This is good stuff. I'm an American btw.

Suits from M&S? Come and take some of my money to buy yourself some real suit.

EDIT: Americans are people, and as people...they're imperfect

However, if you were truly sophisticated, I think you'd be more interested in spreading culture as opposed to berating people for not sharing a few of your preferences.

Read "How to win friends and influence people".

You need it.

beat it nerd

I seem to recollect that America had to pull Europe's sorry ass out of WWII, not the other way round.

Terrible troll.

Disses American women (correctly). But what about British women?

Poor effort.

Also, for future reference, this is where you completely lost it.

For one, being Irish is pretty lame.

Now you're just getting ridiculous.

Back to back World War Champs.

Thank you!

Back to back World War Champs.

Thank you!

Obviously you're a troll, but if you're serious about the beer thing, you are absolutely retarded and wrong. America's beer culture is lightyears ahead of Europe, which is something that most European beer lovers will admit to. We have more variety of quality beer than anyone else in the world.

"Indians in Britain realize how inferior their culture is?" I believe curry is the national food of England. (Certainly better than anything with "mincemeat" as an ingredient.) What I love about your post is it is clear you are an American, because no real Brit would ever be so impolite. If your modern-Tory sympathies continue to make you feel like you are torn between two worlds, may I suggest residence in Canada as the perfect compromise (although I'm not sure I'd wish you on them -- I happen to like Canadians a good deal).

Alright, I'm a yank who went over to the dark side: Oxon/Canterbury (for you unequipped that's Oxford or Cambridge). Additionally, they're a number of interns from the good schools like UCL or Edinburgh, and St. Andrews. Additionally, we have a few Germans and French, but my overall thing is that now that I've finally come back for an IBD internship at a BB, I'm just being ceaselessly amazed by a few things you guys need to correct:

1. Slicking back your hair like that fellow on Wall Street Oasis, interviewing random people, is not interesting nor cool. Just do it naturally, and wearing a blazer -- buying only Italian brands -- it does not make you cool. Be natural.

2. Being incapable of holding a conversation on A.E. Housman, Orwell, or Foucault means you're incapable in life.

3. Not a socialist eh? Well I am. Odd. Tough. I didn't go to a place where everyone whose parents are aristocrats and whose educations cost 40k a year necessarily mean they can't be. Look at Tony Benn.

4. Let's face it: most of the banks you would like to go into are no longer American. That means act slightly different when you're in them. For example, if you're an Asian-American at Deutsche then that's fine, but if you're a rotten white kid who went to Columbia, and thus not only has no culture but no soul, then it's alright when I'm utterly shallow to you; let's face it you're worthless.

5. Indian people. My, my, my. Why are you adopting American culture? Being snobby is alright, about literature, music, and so on, but especially the opera, but being snobby to me? Don't you realise everyone from my university ruled your country with an Iron Fist. Don't you realise that an Indian in Britain realises how utterly inferior their culture is and take to drinking copiously and speaking with the right accent?

6. Suits. Jesus. New York, for gods sakes stop making them -- you simply can't. It's an affront to the UN Charter and thus the International Convention on Human Rights. If you want to a suit... Marks and Spencers, Charles T., TM Lewin, etc. they serve their purposes.

7. You can't Drink. Americans, please understand your beer sucks, you know that, but drinking a lot and then getting drunk during the day is not cool. The only time to do is at night. And for god's sakes drinking on your own is fine too.

8. I do not care for your slang, uncultured silly people.

9. Know more about your politics; i.e. know that Europeans feel European sometimes. Furthermore, do not assume what Europeans like. You simply do not know yet.

10. Your women are horrible... on the inside. Half can't dress. Half are so materialistic it makes me blush when I see one on a date. What will she ask for this time?

11. Admit it you can't be an Irish-American. For one, being Irish is pretty lame. Two, that makes me giggle.

Sorry, it's a rant but all dozen of us on the floor are quite annoyed with you lot. We're happy to take your lower taxes in return though.

Yours,

Someone knows who David Lloyd George was

I would be honored to fight you. Good news is since your teeth are already busted up, I can't do any more harm.

The only thing worse than a prole is a troll.

I thought most Tories made the claim that the British Raj was quite the genteel experience , and that it introduced the savages to the modern concepts of law and order , railways , electricity and democracy. Why , even Winston Churchill made it a point to talk about how much good English governance had done for the Indian masses. So it's quite odd that a right-wing Englishman brags about ruling the Indians with an iron-fist. Especially since most modern Tories are quite in favour of stronger ties between the two nations.

If you are found out , we shall send this thread to your employer.

May I add something?

12. You british/european people had to go invade other countries and steal their ressources since you were too stupid to develop something on your own.

Soon enough you will be back to the dark ages. Thanks to your clueless fellow Keynes. ha!

The post is clearly shit but an american saying that European people invaded other countries and STEAL THEIR RESSOURCES is so LOL. Haven't you notice that you guys went to Iraq for the same reason? When was the last time an European country invade another one for ressources? Was it in 1940 when Germany occupied Alsace-Lorraine?

A little harsh but true, I will also add that the British did have one pretty important resource that enabled it to industrialize and without it I doubt the world would be the same: COAL. Also British/ European countries decolonized years ago so the fact that he is even mentioning "stealing resources" is irrelevant. Abdel...are you even serious? Making fun of Keynesian theory? I'm not even going to bother making a response to that statement because it's just so...I'll let other WSO members add their own bits to that one. This whole notion of cultural superiority that has rooted from the words of the OP is just useless banter that no one should even take seriously. It is just a catalyst for people like Abdel to voice there biased and ill-informed opinions in a way that makes it look like he is "protecting" the honor of his country...in the end he just looks like an idiot. I think that the Americans on this forum don't have to say shit to this idiot because he is honestly not worth the time...I wish the firm he worked for could read this because in my mind this is the biggest AUTO-DING I have ever seen. I hope that at some point in his life he actually gets to know an American and realize how chill the people there really are...being Canadian I know that for the most part Americans just get rubbed the wrong way by other nationalities. To be honest I don't think a forum topic like this belongs on WSO because it's statements like these that create segregation and prejudice within a community...it's just not beneficial to anyone.
