Three Types of Americans!

which one are you?

I have been fortunate enough to mingle with Americans on a day to day basis over the past few months, and rightly so I have drawn my conclusions – they may be a bit sweeping and broad, but I am comfortable in saying there are three types of Americans.

The first American is your general public – they barely know what is going on in the next state let alone somewhere on the other side of the planet. They eat 5 meals of McDonalds every week, and go to the baseball. More likely than not, they drive an SUV, or know someone who does. These Americans love their country, culture, and President – this is simple because they are simple people, and don’t know any better. This first kind of American has a tendency for follow the shepherd – If someone looks smart and intelligent when they sprout pro-Americana propaganda, they will usually chime in with a ‘well, if we are so bad, why are we so powerful’ yada yada yada remark.. which is fine by me… they really cant back it up, and are just fighting a debate by paradox – usually, this type of American does more harm than good for a right winged argument, because they prove the ignorance we know and love.

The second type of American is the one I get along best with. The cultured American who realises that the world is bigger than 52 states and a whole lot of money. These American’s realise that they should be using their status as a political super power to influence the world for the better! They don’t hold anything against anyone for crack-pot leftist ideas, and in fact, they can be rather right wing at times (Greywar :D), just with an International conscience. It’s these American’s that restore faith in my heart after dealing with the third and last type of American

The Third type of American drives me insane. They are the ones that know that the world is a really scary place, and they know there are several aggrieved factions that don’t agree with American policy or culture, however, they don’t give two hoots. As long as America’s bottom line is increased, and as long as the world knows that America has the biggest guns, this kind of American is happy – they don’t even care what kind of world their children will enter, they just assume that everything will be fine because they have the biggest defence budget. This kind of American will write off the second kind of American and anyone from the International community as a crack pot terrorist sympathiser should they disagree with any of their opinions. They feed from stupidity or naivety rather, of the first type of American.

JU seems to be full of many from each little faction… This kind of makes me happy… it makes the place interesting. I think we all know what kind of person we are, and l trust my judgment – I know what kind of person you are as well.

BAM!!!

ahem Mark... there are 4 types of americans, the 4th is just so small that you normal dont see him(me) and that type is the person that wants to get the fuck out of America as soon as humanly possible and go to a better country (name AUSTRALIA) where the women are hot and smarter than 99.9999999% of everyone in America, yeah you know what the hell Im talking about dont deny. I think Im the 4th type and rightly so since I just made it up...

btw... jesus christ Mark are you at work or did you accidently get up this early.

(i know about type 4, I just didn't want to hurt any fragile American ego's by acknowledging that many Americans know their county is inferior to mine )

I don't like categories. *winks*

I think there should be a Trinitie Category. Not just for this blog, but for everything. Then I could just say, "Oh, I'm in the Trinitie category."

I enjoyed this article though, and I know a lot of research went into it. Hehe.

Though, I don't know why you're writing about Americans on a site that seems to be run by Aussies lately, if you smell what I'm stepp'n in.

btw, I'll let you be in the Trinitie Category, too...it's quite a privledge.

Trinitie

p.s. I moved a couple days ago and I'm now living with 3 Mexican chicks, so I won't be able to get on the computer near as often as before, since one works on here. Just letting you know so you didn't think I'd lost my Muggaz love.

Ok - I will email them when I get home...

Sorry to class you Trinny, but you are in the second catagory... the Americans I love

I guess I'm a fucked up blend of all three...


hahaha.. thats Awesome! It would certainly make for an interesting character! One worthy of the top 100 here at least

BAM!!!

Muggaz,
Generally I agree though I think you could probably squeeze a few more categories in there.
As far as JU goes I don't even bother with the first type. These people just rant and they are not interested discussing a topic they just want to shove it down your throat.
The second type I also get along with, yes they may disagree but they will argue with you logically and to the point. I often post comments with these people and enjoy the interaction.
The third type are quite devious. Instead of addressing an argument or issue they will steer the discussion off on a tangent. I have seen so many times when this happens that I have given up commenting and usually dont even read these guys. I agree these guys are the most annoying because they sound so reasonable but what they have really done is avoid the issue while steering the discussion to safer ground for them.
The fourth type....well they write good stories

Fairly good assessment as generalizations go. You left out one though. The middle-aged burned out hippy that loves his country, doesn't especially like the government, and generally refuses to 'go along with the program' in general. Not 'left wing' or 'right wing', more of a wingless bird that waddles around under the radar wondering WTF?

Mason - this American, you, would be classed in the type 2 category! The type that knows, and cares about the world. Political leaning is not important, just a degree of respect!

Wow. You know how much I hate it when you generalize about Americans, so I'm only going to point out that there are only 50 states (contrary to Kupe's blog, Australia and Canada have not officially joined the Union).

Category 2 Shades...

You know you love it.

You'd be surprised to know that I also fit into category 1 quite well:

I don't eat at McDonald's five times a week; however, I love going to baseball games, my dad drives an SUV, and I do love my country.

If you remember, my first "debate" with you was in your "Stupid Al Qaeda" article about generalizing about Americans--it just doesn't work for me--the idea that I could place New Yorkers, Texans, North Carolinians, and New Englanders all into three little categories is mind-boggling.

Sorry Shades!

It would appear that i am a bad boy.

However, I have intentionally made my sweeping generalisations as broad as possible! I haven't implied that type 2 doesn't watch baseball or drive an S.U.V... I am playing to a stereotype admittidly, though I think I got my point across.

BAM!!!
