  • Stupid patriotic Americans

    This country is way to patriotic. First off, I'm not over patriotic. You'd probably call me crazy for saying this. That thread saying we are the best country was one of the dumbest things I've ever done. Also, it sounded much worse than I intended it to. I don't go around bragging that my country is the best, but it sounded like it, which wasn't what I wanted. And finally, when I say the US is the best country in the world it doesn't mean anything to me. It's a label that doesn't matter. I believe Americans are no better than anyone else in the world, I don't like our president, I was opposed to the war in Iraq, and I understand how arrogant we are.

    With that out of the way I'll tell a story that is an outrage. I live in a town about 30 miles away from Spokane. During the period before the War in Iraq when Germany was doing the smart thing and trying to stop the war the German teacher and a couple of German foreign exchange students at a school in Spokane received hate letters saying "Go back home you Nazi."

    Another thing that I hate so much is the patriotic idiots who live around me. Everyone makes very cruel jokes about France for opposing the war and are boycotting French products are defacing their culture by calling French fries 'Freedom Fries'. Our country is so stupid because everytime someone opposes something we do we get mad at and threaten to cut off their foreign aid and other stuff like that. So we do whatever we want because we're special.

    Another thing that pisses me off is the fact that we expect people to do something wrong just because we've helped them in the past. If a friend of yours has been very kind to you in the past and has done a whole lot for you and then asks you to help him to do something wrong, should you have to do it?

    I wish we could save all of our patriotic thoughts for the 4th of July, party a lot and say we're the best and then have all of it overwith.
    "The first man who, having fenced off a plot of land, thought of saying, 'This is mine' and found people simple enough to believe him was the real founder of civil society. How many crimes, wars, murders, how many miseries and horrors might the human race had been spared by the one who, upon pulling up the stakes or filling in the ditch, had shouted to his fellow men: 'Beware of listening to this imposter; you are lost if you forget the fruits of the earth belong to all and that the earth belongs to no one." - Jean-Jacques Rousseau

    French fries aren't exactly French culture so how is it defacing France by changing the name? The only thing they're defacing is their own intellect.
