Ghanans have the best teeth and work hardest.

Yeah, that's why their country is an economic power

I think that it's well established that Americans work the hardest.

The ones who work. Most of those come from South of the border. The rest of Americans are people of "leisure".

[Xopolis]

Are you not generalizing?

Honestly, I don't "hate" everyone or those groups of people. I mean to say people from every race have wronged me in the past whether white/black/whatever SO I don't prefer one ethnic group over another.

For example, I've been defrauded by Lebanese landlords, but on the other hand I know several Lebanese people I get along with well, and there are Lebanese restaurants I frequent where I get friendly service (there are lots of Lebanese in my city: good and bad ones).

Bullshit and you know it. America is where it is today because of the hard-working ethic of its people. There are welfare bums, yes, but those are people you'd be inclined to defend anyway.

[Rojik of the Arctic]

I don't care what ethnic group you come from. As long as you work hard as my slave I'll be happy with you.

What Aekos said. Americans are one of the hardest laboring western nations.

[Mazhi]

No.

[Plaro]

Americans are one of the hardest laboring western nations.

If breaking your back and ruining your health while producing some sort of consumer product which is useless and undermines human health is what you call hard working, sure they look very hard working in those pornography films. Not that I’m saying there is no good production, it is just this whole perception of hard working that I disagree with.

I worked with Americans they do break their back but a lot of times it appears for no reason at all. They really lack in intellectual capacities, they do thing very inefficiently and some times void of any thought, and thus extend the work while it could have been completed much faster. Americans definitely hold the perceptions that they are very hard working(which seems for most of the time to mean to work "over time"), and try to prove it at any opportunity. For example I had this manager, it was a labour task that he assigned to me, this gentleman thought he was the hard working American, and on this virtue of hard work America was build, that is what he thought. This task that I was to do was very awkward and difficult to complete individually, nothing to do with physical strength, just you need the support of at least one more individual. So I came to him expressed my opinion, upset her refuse to provide me with a partner, I refused to work at the task rendering it unsafe. He then started to work at it himself, making me stand and watch, what you think he got injured (not seriously, just a nasty Bruise), although most never did get injured while performing the same talk alone, it was funny he did that time though. Later I preformed this task with a partner and it was 3 times efficient then macho hardworking people trying to perform it alone. This kind of unintelligent approach to work I notice in more places that I worked in North America. I worked that job with a friend, so we chatted for ends, while we worked, we still did as much as the hard working Americans and sometimes more, because we were generally happy, and our moral was good. Especially we possessed great team work, because we were allowed to work together even though we were friends. I do not know how ultra capitalistic company allowed us to do what we did at that place; However, it was definitely an eye opener for me; on what are the best work environments for your employees, and work habits.

The definition of hardworking is an interesting one, and I definitely suggest for you guys to redefine it.

Americans don't work. They oversee the management of underpaid, indentured, and foreign labor for international corporations. Just as their forefathers did as sharecroppers and riding foremen.

[Dr House]

Americans work the longest hours in the developed world, but those are mostly desk jobs. NoRap is right. Americans don't work; they manage.

[Nets]

Management is work. Dr. House, you seem to be buying into that socialist nonsense that only hewing wood and drawing water is "work".

[Figlio di Moros]

Management is work. Dr. House, you seem to be buying into that socialist nonsense that only hewing wood and drawing water is "work".

Thats because a good portion of Americans' jobs today aren't quite so productive as they once were; this country became a powerhouse based on the hard work ethic of our forefathers. To say we haven't got a hard-working ethic is bullshit, but we've got a growing population of pussies scared of a days work that's becoming quite a problem.

[ingliz]

No

[NoRapture]

Management is work. Dr. House, you seem to be buying into that socialist nonsense that only hewing wood and drawing water is "work".

If it is work it doesn't pay enough to eat and survive a winter in most of the U.S. The only people benefitting from socialism in this country are elevated "credit" bankers at the crossroads of our fully corrupt state and treasury access to the money of American taxpayers. With no-one in sight to arrest either the problem or the criminal pigs who are doing the bloodsucking every fucking day.

Socialism my aching ass! Socialism would be a Godsend to America at this point. We no longer even possess systems for law enforcement or a working government that is representative of Americans.

[Oblisk]

I favor Koreans over other groups. It is only natural.

My brother before a friend, friend before a stranger, stranger before a foreigner.

[NoRapture]

I like Koreans a lot. Soulful.

Yeah, it was the Pharaohs who built those pyramids.

Without them, those idiotic non-managers would have just farmed and hung out with their families and friends.

Thank you, manager class, for preventing that from happening.

[Inexorable]

This is a great question. I am French Candian-American by heritage and love French culture, but I admire the Roman (IE Italian), and Han Chinese the most. Both produced amazing empires, advanced technology, fostered intriguing thinkers, fought massive wars, and continue to do so to this day. China is currently my favorite, they are highly nationalistic and militaristic and present the closest approximation to my ideal state.

[R_G]

Yes.

Obviously.

It's historical and also physical.

For instance, many Africans have weak immune systems, so if I had to choose a support buddy for a hike, it'd be a swede.

[Kaspar]

I don't really get what you mean favor. In what sense of the word favor?
