So you're saying other countries have never done anything horrible and stupid before?

 

[ohiogrinder]

There seems to be a correlation between ignorance and patriotism.

even in countries other than the USA? or is that strictly an 'American' thing? :Smug:

I really don't see what's wrong with being proud of your country. I mean, I don't go out and ruin foreigners' lives because they aren't American, so why should they ruin mine cause I'm from the United States? Americans can't even travel anymore because of the bad rep we get cause we have a dolt for a President. Apparently, 'its every Americans' fault for the war'. I'm sorry, but is this country just made up of Dubya clones or something? I don't think so....

I don't see how the hell you got that from a period.

Of course not, but that doesn't make the US any more innocent.

Because being ashamed/hating your country because of one incident is uncalled for imo.

They have an incorrect view of America, that we support the war. We have an incorrect view to them. To coin a phrase, what we have here is a failure to communicate. But they have done one attack, we've done hundreds or thousands.


Can't concentrate, Shark is on. This is a kick ass episode.

yeah, really. It seems Americans just can't do anything right, but foreign countries are "off-limits"....they have immunity!

sounds like a double standard to me...

 

[skeptik]

Yeah...I'm pretty sure it's not one incident.

The US has easily the worst track record for scummy action among civilized countries.

That's because we're the only who every fucking do anything.

 

[Ender Rises]

^Exactly my point. We're not the fucking cops of the world, we need to back off and let them sort their shit out.

Edit: @ Necuratul.

 

[skeptik]

Yeah...I'm not even addressing that one, since I can tell from that comment that this conversation can go no further.

they have done more than one attack dude. Everyday someone gets killed because they aren't Islamic in the middle east. Just one attack? try telling that to the thousands of jews in the middle east...

I alligned those posts out of cleverness, and not as to be specific on one aspect of this nation's evils.

 

[Zephyrus]

As negative as political discussions can get, they are a massive improvement over the clusterfucks that have erupted out of this thread in recent days.

Oh ok. I thought you were referring to that one incident.

That's not our business. Maybe Israel is our business since they're our allies, but they can defend themselves most of the time. But we drop bomb after bomb because we're right and they're wrong? Or because they're a threat to us? Yeah fuckin right.

I agree. It's a little too busy though. By the time I make one reply there are 2 more posts.

so its ok for them to make attacks on our soil for the sole reason that we're not members of the nation of Islam? Israel is getting their ass kicked. its like Vietnam all over again.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

meh, fuck the middle east. they wanna kill each other, let them. They fuck with Europe or North America, they get nuked.

What the fuck are you talking about? Israel is worse than the US.
