It's a global market and the culture I consume is from all around the world. I could easily live without American culture as others would increase culture export in the vacuum.
Your culture export is so high just simply due to your size (economic) and your reach (imperialism).
The key thing though is I am not envy of America. In fact, the opposite, I feel bad for most Americans that they don't get to experience the progress that the rest of the modern world is going through in things like healthcare, income equality, social acceptance, etc.
Plus statistically, my country is the most admired in the world, so I'm happy. Oh, and I think about it because I care about the global community.

why not, we invented that game
And this is why you keep murdering innocents with drone bombings, because you don't care.
It would have been better if you just quoted his name. He's the biggest Canadian homer around here.
So much salt is being thrown at this picture.

Hmmm You do know that it was a British man that made the world wide web right... Tim berners-lee
I'm a progressive modern social democratic country homer.
I'm envious of the Scandinavian countries. I wish Canada was more like Sweden.
US is a detriment to us now. I am in favour of increasing our trade with Asia much more then the US. The more detached we can become, the better. Until your country gets it's act together.

Don't hate us cuz you ain't us.
It's amazing that people don't realize 95% of this stuff is sarcasm.
Nothing. Your country equates to it though.
But why? It's an obvious joke post. I'm actually glad he did post it because it's more telling of the people replying to it. I did not expect it to get any heat at all, really.
I'm starting to really believe they don't even care about that fact. Similar to how we don't care about them.

I skimmed through part of the video in the OP. Honestly I don't care what other countries think at all.
This is why.
Unfortunate thing about Americans being ignorant to the global community, is they don't understand what they don't have and how bad it's getting in America, because they only have their own country to compare to.
When was the last time you were in Sweden?

One day when things are really bad, I hope you wake up to the global community. I mean your best presidential candidate uses the Scandinavian social democratic countries as inspiration on what to change. You should all be like Bernie Sanders. Instead a lot of Americans are like Trump.

:lol Dat delicious salt though. And I'd worry about electing someone who doesn't run your economy into the shitter than professing how much you hate the US and who you'd rather trade with.
This really doesn't help anything when you make unintelligent posts and decide to bold and underline the unintelligent parts. Like you're doing all the work for us.

Getting all bent out of shape over internet posters who frequently post America fuck yeah out of sarcasm.
We all know there are issues. Just as there are issues in every country in the world.

Most "America, fuck yeah!" posts are sarcasm on this forum, and most of the time they are responded to with posts like you see in this thread. I guess if you deal with enough people who really think that way, it gets grating.

Tokyo, Shanghai & Dubai are my bros.
If I were asked the same about other countries I don't know what I'd say, other then I'd love to visit some day.
If I were to impart something to other countries is the sheer size of America. People like to do 1:1 comparisons with our country to theirs but they fail to realize just how gigantic this country is. It's hard for even Americans to describe ourselves because we're so segmented into different regions. I've met so many foreign students that are surprised to learn how long it would take to drive to certain places.

and they say we are not cultured enough for dry british humour
You're real smug for essentially being a mild mannered French-American.
Note to self: Use Mexican card if ever in France.

Ok? Vast majority who post it aren't even American so maybe it would make more sense to take out on your anger on them but that makes too much sense... Blindly hate away!
You should seem him talk about the Canucks. :lol

I just watched a very similar video last night https://youtu.be/Igk4XvzwOCw My favorite part is at 3:46.
Do we live in the same country?

I'm not sure what I'm hating. I think you need to reread my post. Or I need to write better.
Here's another video asking a bunch of people from different countries how to distinguish Americans.
Extra: How to distinguish Koreans.
