The America thread

[Captain Beard]

I hate that. How could you not laugh at the shit that goes on in this country? Our forefathers were a bunch of drunk tax-evaders that dressed up as Indians and started their rebellion by making Boston harbor into a giant teacup!

Which makes them awesome. Everyone has to agree with this.

 

[Dead Winter]

I gotta give it to them...dressing up like Indians and clapping their hands over their mouths to make Indian sounds is awesome. So awesome that it fooled the British.

 

[Captain Beard]

Oh, not just that. I like that our country was founded by drunken non-christians (Yes, deists and some non believers) and everyone gets so hush hush about that part. Franklin was a womanizer and no one wants to talk about that. <3 Franklin.

 

[Malergion]

Franklin, my dear, was in the Hellfire Club.

Eh.. America used to be cool. Now it sucks. Every country on Earth can't be wrong.

 

[Lunar Still]

Yeah, because of that poll taken of every person in every country on earth that says America sucks. I remember that.

Touch a nerve? I'm just larkin with ya.

 

[Lunar Still]

Not really, I just have about 5 minutes before I have to leave for work and wanted to start being a smartass early. The managers love me.

 

[Eviscerator]

Have fun working, it's 3am here.

 

[AsModEe]

people from the United States calling themselves Americans make me laugh.....

Canadians are americans, mexicans are americans, brazilians are americans. You get the point.

 

[Captain Beard]

So what should they call themselves, oh second rate ripoff of the French?

 

[AsModEe]

hey, we actually speak a better french then the French themselves.

And I don't know how they should call themselves.

Assholes perhaps?

The common accepted definition is Americans are U.S. citizens. Canadians are Canadians, Mexicans are Mexicans, and Brazilians are Brazilians.

Just as long as you don't capitalize "americans", you could stand your ground in this semantics bickering.

 

[AsModEe]

ah yes, the capitalization does mean something in your language. Ah well, forget it.

 

[Chromatose]

Indeed. Otherwise Brazilians surely have their own name for themselves, in Portuguese, which I concede unknowing at this instance.

 

[Captain Beard]

I could ask a Portugese cousin of mine.

I hate all this political correctness bullshit. Pretty much all this extreme liberal stuff. Im no conservative, I'm actually quite liberal, but these assholes like Michael Moore piss me off. He tells 1/2 the truth of something and covers the rest with lies.

you have a point, but not about every country on earth can't be wrong...although it was damn funny!

I think America used to be awesome in the eyes of the rest of the world because the rest of the world was decades behind the US in almost every aspect for a long time. However, the US has pretty much been sitting on its ass on everything except technology, and now some of the world has surpassed the US in many ways.
