Hey, Why is it always America that gets attacked by aliens in these movies??? LOL
Anyone ever notice that?
I think Aliens got more chance of attacking Russia as its much larger in size.
But do the rest of you notice this?
J
American made movies tend to focus on alien action in America, but there were worldwide alien attacks in both this and the first movie.
In Harry Turtledove's Worldwar novels, detailing a similar invasion, many of the action scenes take place in Europe and China.
That was not similar and world world would book series could make a better movie than this.
The Race wanted to subjugate humanity into their culture, that's not the same thing.
America...*beep* yeah!
shareWell, in Edge of Tomorrow, aren't they preparing for a major offensive in Europe?
(Maybe that's why I liked that movie so much.)
Europe and Asia got it worse in this movie.
I suppose because Russia also is a vast space of emptiness while they'd have more chance in destroying America....

American inventions . . . made in China.
shareWhat of it? Manufacturing jobs don't require extraordinary intelligence (they just require the ability to follow instructions from the inventor/designer), but technological inventions do.
By the way, the most powerful desktop microprocessors come from Intel, and about 75% of them are manufactured in the U.S. The other leading designer of desktop CPUs, AMD, manufactures some of them in the U.S. too, though I don't know the percentage. The major operating systems are created here in the U.S. as well, and there's plenty of internet infrastructure created in the U.S.
I knew some guys who built processors at AMD outside Austin. That's was 20 years ago, but before that, I would have guessed they were made elsewhere. I wish we could afford to make all that stuff here, but I guess I'm part of the problem. I can't afford to by US made stuff, so most of what I but comes from Harbor Freight, or Amazon (mostly Chinese stuff).
shareI live in the United States, born here, you are mistaken on several of your * as being United States inventions, oh but then again, you do say "American" so I guess you are referring to all of North and South America. Simple minded "American" idiot.
share>I live in the United States, born here, you are mistaken on several of your * as being United States inventions,
I'm not mistaken on any of them, dumbass. Consider your mere assertion dismissed out of hand.
>oh but then again, you do say "American" so I guess you are referring to all of North and South America.
No, numbnuts:
A·mer·i·can
adjective: American
1. relating to or characteristic of the United States or its inhabitants.
"the election of a new American president"
LMFAO where did you find that definition, omg, so you truly don't know the difference between North and South America. Do this forum a favor, go back to 3rd grade and continue your education.
shareWhat do you think a person or thing from the U.S. is called, dumbass? They are called American because the full name of this country is United States of America, so instead of calling them "United States of Americans", it is shortened to "American".
That definition comes from the Oxford English Dictionary - https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/american - which is one of the most authoritative English-language dictionaries in the world.
And here's another one, from Webster's dictionary:
Definition of American
1 : of or relating to America
American people
2 : of or relating to the U.S. or its possessions or original territory
American soldiers - American embassies - American states - American culture

You are a foolish child of the United States. You are "North American" although you choose to believe that the term applies only to citizens of the United States. Become more worldly my friend, "American Exceptionalism" now there's a term I would like for you to research and post here. I'll be waiting while you do your homework.
And yes I disagree with your previously posted definition. The popular belief that "American" refers to only citizens of the United States is purely narrow mindedness.
>You are a foolish child of the United States.
Your non sequitur is dismissed, simpleton, and also:
Comical Irony Alert.
>You are "North American" although you choose to believe that the term applies only to citizens of the United States.
Reading Disability Alert. First, there's only one country in the Americas which has "America" in its name, and that is "United States of America". That's why the term "America" is commonly used to refer to the USA, and why people or things from the USA are commonly called "American". Do you refer to China in everyday conversation as "People's Republic of China"? Do you refer to people or things from China as "People's Republic of Chinese"?
Second, there is no continent on Earth which is currently called "America". There is North America and South America, and collectively they are called the "Americas". So "America" and "American" does not currently refer to a continent, it refers to the United States of America.
Third, even if there were a continent which was currently called "America", most terms have multiple definitions, and if you're too stupid to infer the intended meaning based on the context then that's your problem. The generally accepted conventions of the English language are not going to change to accommodate your idiocy.
>Become more worldly my friend, "American Exceptionalism" now there's a term I would like for you to research and post here. I'll be waiting while you do your homework.
Your non sequitur is dismissed, dumbass. By the way, why don't you try to go a week without using any American inventions? You won't be posting here for a week, nor using the internet at all, nor a cellular phone, nor any device which contains integrated circuits of any kind.
>And yes I disagree with your previously posted definition.
Fortunately for the rest of the English-speaking world, your disagreement is utterly irrelevant (continued below)
Okay at first I was with you, but now your arrogance pissed me off.
Yes of course, absolutely every single retard understands that when someone's referring to "American", it's obvious that he talks about people from the US.
Still, technically speaking, it's not accurate.
And your logic with "do you call people from Republic of China by other names than Chinese" is really fucking flawed.
Here's another one for your slow brain: how do you call people from europe?? Europeans... Fucking moron.
> Okay at first I was with you, but now your arrogance pissed me off.
I don't need anyone to be "with me", simpleton, especially not an idiot like you. Facts aren't determined by a popular vote.
>Yes of course, absolutely every single retard understands that when someone's referring to "American", it's obvious that he talks about people from the US.
>Still, technically speaking, it's not accurate.
Yes, "technically speaking" it is accurate. First, definitions of words in the English language are determined by how they are actually used in the real world, with extra weight given to notable usage. Usage, including notable usage, supports "American" referring to people/things from the United States of America, which is why every English language dictionary includes that definition, including the two most authoritative ones (Webster's and the OED).
Second, currently there is only one place on Earth that "America" accurately refers to, and that's the United States of America. I'll repeat the following because you don't read so well and you're dumb as a mud fence: There is no continent that's currently, "technically speaking", called simply "America", just like there is no U.S. state which is currently called simply "Dakota" or "Carolina". There is North America and South America, and collectively they are known as the "Americas". Is that clear, numbnuts?
>And your logic with "do you call people from Republic of China by other names than Chinese" is really fucking flawed.
Your misquote is dismissed, as is your mere assertion, dullard.
>Here's another one for your slow brain:
Comical Irony Alert (you know, coming from a well-established idiot)
>how do you call people from europe?? Europeans
That's because there's a continent called "Europe", moron, and there's no country with "Europe" in its official name.
>Fucking moron.
Comical Irony Alert: Part II
By the way, LOL at you thinking you're smart enough to even reply to me at all, let alone try to argue with me.
... And to this day MaximRecoil is still sucking so many dicks that he lost the sight of life.
shareIn the English language, words are defined based on their real-world usage, with extra weight given to notable usage. People who publish dictionaries research how words are actually used, then they write it down in the form of a definition. Over the past ~couple of hundred years, two dictionaries have come to prominence as being the most authoritative: the OED (Oxford English Dictionary) for "British English" and Webster's for "American English". They are both in agreement on what the term "American" means, and they both trump the hell out a random idiot on the internet (i.e., you).
>The popular belief that "American" refers to only citizens of the United States is purely narrow mindedness.
No, dullard; see above. By the way, you know that the OED is a British dictionary, right?
>you are mistaken on several of your * as being United States inventions
Given that you've had several chances now to support this asinine assertion of yours, and you've failed to do so, I'll go ahead and make note of your tacit admission that you were wrong.
The simple fact that you Brits and Americans (yes, even though I'm about to shit on your arrogant ass for this, I too use this to refer to us citizens) accept a definition, doesn't mean that people elsewhere have to accept it.
Here in canada I can guarantee you that many people (who I personally know) don't agree with that as they technically consider themselves "Americans" as well. Don't even fucking start with "no Canadians call themselves Canadians" because I know it. No Canadian will actually bother call himself "American". But if you start to talk about technicalities, you will be surprised how much when approached with the question, Canadians don't completely accept the way Americans made this term their property.
Plus, I really don't want to bash on the English language (because I love it), but (opposite to French for instance), it doesn't have a strict committee who decides what word can be accepted in the dictionary and what the definition it will have. So basically, you constantly make changes to your definitions.
So according to all this, I guess it's quite fair that someone disagrees with the definition of a proper noun (okay in this case adjective) even if the dictionary states it.
>The simple fact that you Brits and Americans (yes, even though I'm about to shit on your arrogant ass for this, I too use this to refer to us citizens) accept a definition, doesn't mean that people elsewhere have to accept it.
What you and other idiots in the minority accept is utterly irrelevant, dumbass. Their lack of acceptance isn't even close to being significant enough to change the generally accepted definition of the term.
>Here in canada I can guarantee you that many people (who I personally know) don't agree with that as they technically consider themselves "Americans" as well. Don't even fucking start with "no Canadians call themselves Canadians" because I know it. No Canadian will actually bother call himself "American". But if you start to talk about technicalities, you will be surprised how much when approached with the question, Canadians don't completely accept the way Americans made this term their property.
Canadians aren't Americans, though they could accurately call themselves "North Americans" if they wanted to, just as Americans could.
>Plus, I really don't want to bash on the English language (because I love it), but (opposite to French for instance), it doesn't have a strict committee who decides what word can be accepted in the dictionary and what the definition it will have.

Thank you Captain Obvious. I've already explained how words are defined in the English language.
>So according to all this, I guess it's quite fair that someone disagrees with the definition of a proper noun (okay in this case adjective) even if the dictionary states it.
Their disagreement changes nothing, simple fellow. If they can get enough people to share their disagreement then eventually the generally accepted definition will change, and that change will be reflected in the English language dictionaries. Don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen.
Also, LOL at you following me around.
Hey, dumbass, I personally agree with that! :D But, playing out smart on someone who disagrees only makes you a fuckwit who chokes on dicks on a daily basis. Not everyome has to agree that you Americans love to suck your own dicks and use patriotism on every single occasions. If someone is not okay with the fact that you refer to yourselves as "Americans", well, they are not totally wrong to do so. End of the fucking story.
For me, you are Americans... But don't go butthurt on people who are not this comprehensive.
>Hey, dumbass

Your concession is noted.
>But, playing out smart on someone
Your nonsensical sequence of words is dismissed.
>who disagrees only makes you a fuckwit who chokes on dicks on a daily basis.
Your non sequitur is dismissed, Slow Doug™.
>Not everyome has to agree that you Americans love to suck your own dicks and use patriotism on every single occasions.
This non sequitur of yours is dismissed as well, airhead.
>If someone is not okay with the fact that you refer to yourselves as "Americans", well, they are not totally wrong to do so. End of the fucking story.
In reality, said someone is wrong by definition. People are certainly free to disagree with facts, but doing so makes them inherently wrong, and establishes them as an idiot.
>For me, you are Americans... But don't go butthurt on people who are not this comprehensive.
And another non sequitur; dismissed.
Hey, I can play this game too. Every single letters of your horseshit is dismissed. See, it's easy.
share>Hey, I can play this game too.
No, you can't; you're not smart enough. I only dismiss things which can legitimately be dismissed due to being logically invalid (e.g., non sequiturs). You won't find anything in my posts which can legitimately be dismissed, because I don't type things which are logically invalid. Only idiots do that; you, for example. Also, this is a textbook example of "monkey see, monkey do" from you.
>Every single letters of your horseshit is dismissed. See, it's easy.
Your non sequitur is dismissed, and given that you have no arguments, your tacit concession on the whole matter is noted.
There's a recent movie about aliens attacking Russia titled "Attraction." I haven't seen it, but the trailer in YouTube seems good enough.
