That's stupid. There's only 1 America. Then there's just North America and South America. We don't call ourselves North Americans and claim exclusivity to that because Mexico and Canada are also in North America. We call ourselves Americans because we're.. Americans, from America. You just hate us cuz you ain't us.
loving that first GIF. That's James Thompson in a full-blown Special-Vitamins rage, and I think Alexander Emilianenko doing his best "i'm so frigging bored" look. If I remember rightly..... Thompson got KO'd in 1st round I think.... Classic!!
Fuck you nga I'm from Newark!!!
I’m not bashing anything, I’m pointing out a flaw out of concern for exactly the thing you mention, that my own children and their children will be affected by it down the road. I’m not detracting anything, If US is in trouble then we’re all in trouble, and right now the situation there is pretty grim. But if you want to ignore it, and you just wanna call everyone not drinking the Kool-Aid a hater, then keep living in your bliss and repeating that you’re the greatest nation on earth and bla bla.
Your title was about American confidence & you mention someone from Ireland. Then later you say that Ireland doesn't count as a part of Europe. I think you've got some major biases surfacing about your prejudice against Americanz.
Confidence takes many forms. It can be a silent confidence or it can be an outward expression. It has more to do with whether a person is an introvert or an extrovert.
It's very unfair to put a blanket statement on the more outspoken people & say that they lack some sort of confidence. Especially in the entertainment industry where you literally get paid for your hijinx, while the strong silent time sulk in the darkness about how they wish they got paid as much as Conor.
Lets compare Asian UFC Champions to USA Champions in the UFC & see if there's anything we can learn about which method might be better for a combat athlete using this one criteria.
Asian Champions = 1 (maybe a couple of halfs who actually live in the USA though.)
USA Champions = hundreds
Do British people count as Europeanz?
Way to mention people from other countries & then blame it all on Americans... lol.
We get it... you're prejudice. You prefer the golf clap strong & silent introverted type... but there's no need to neither shit on the people who are actually drawing a larger fan base & effectively paying the bills... nor blame it all on an entire country of people you are so prejudice against.
I always chuckle when people on here defend fighters like Ronda, or Conor, by saying they're just being confident and this is essential for success.
Now I'm not a psychologist but from all my experience the most confident people I have encountered have usually been those who did not go out of their way to display or signal their confidence.
This is a phenomenon I have noticed in most sports, mainly it is the American athletes who portray this overconfident in your face attitude, whereas for the most part athletes from Asia, and most of Europe, almost always have a completely different, much more subtle confidence about them.
I don't include England, UK, Ireland, etc.... in Europe because they pretty much follow the American pop culture and show most of the same traits. Also people who don't live in the States, but nonetheless display the same mentality, fake the same accent as inner city American kids, such as Israel Adesanya for example, are also example of American confidence imo. Joanna J. is another example, she's Polish but she plays the American gimmick to display confidence and intimidation.
American confidence examples:
Non American confidence examples;
Is anyone really convinced that Mike Perry is somehow more confident and mentally tougher than Fedor Emelianenko because he tattoo's his eyebrows and puts on a mean mug?
Just a rant and a random observation, I'm sure it will rub someone the wrong way but it's a thing and it is pretty curious.
No, I already said “not all”, and I already said that there are different personalities everywhere.
That girls career is over.
That reminds me of Team Skull from Pokemon.
For sure, I already said that there are many exceptions.
Half joking, but (absolute) Units is the closest thing I can think of. Or something like Statesian which I think is used in some context anyway.
Ditto on that. I also find them to be secretly wannabe Americans. Demonstrating behaviors that were cool in the US like 10 years ago. While at the same time, talking shit about Americans. Talk about corny.
I think it just depends on the language. Russian for example is "американец" (ameri-KA-nets). And yeah there's a word in Spanish that's US specific but they also use americano often. There's lots of things I think other languages do that are cool that English doesn't.
