1: Thank you, anti-yankee, for yet another tasteless diatribe on why everyone in the United States is evil because the American GOVERNMENT is a bunch of selfish wankers.

* e.g., ... Frenchwoman: Hey, American, why are you taxing my beef unfairly?
[ "selfish" ]

It gets really irritating after a while, not to mention how you operate on the assumption that we don't already KNOW any of this.
* e.g., ... Frenchwoman: ...never mind.
[ "selfish" ]
4: In other words: piss off, you bloody wanker.

1: See america. When giving to the Tsunami appeal ,they gave the least in proportion to wealth. As America is the richest ( and most selfish) country in the world this seems unfair. Only after complaints from the rest of the appaled world did 'Dubya' decide to give the rest of his spare change and be the leader of the aid giving. Giving aid just to make yourself look good is low. For the record, the British public gave far more to the appeal than The US government.
* e.g., ... Amercians are some fat-ass selfish gimps.
