"And what if PA actually comes out of the closet??"

Well if I ever was in a position where I had to, in another life, I would most likely shoot myself first.

One hopes that you would anyway.

[Cruddy]

So, let me get this right... just because I think "nationality" is at least partly myth, I'm a lefty?

Did you see any flying communists?

With very few exceptions - national identity is irrelevent nowadays

Love to burst your bubble, but most Americans are proud to be American. I happen to be one of them.





and where is Oerdin!

Not recently.. but I'll keep an eye out .

[Theben]

You should try to catch them.

It'd be the "right" thing to do...

Of course, most people haven't actually worked this out yet ("my country is the best") but when they do the idea of nationality will gradually die.

so loving your country makes you ignorant now?

oh dear...

I prefer to love my species as opposed to a group of people whose existance in this particular piece of land at this particular moment in time is somewhat random.

The above thinking is a major problem with the New Urban Left at the moment.

Nationality identities can have a deep and lasting influence on a person's beliefs, and just dismissing this by saying stuff like "well, I'm cleverer than you, I've realised this connection you feel is a fraud; I'm better than you, I speak to lots of different nationalities on the web, et cetc" is incredibly short-sighted and ignorantly elitist.

It has nothing to do with the left and everything to do with not having blind faith. Nationalism may or may not be evil or bad, but it is inarguably stupid. Yeah, other people who live in the same country as me did good stuff, yay aren't I great?

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!

oh sorry, posted this after reading the first 20 posts, didn't know the phase is already over...

[RGBVideo]

where is Oerdin when I need him to understand my threads?

...in Iraq. Oh, the irony. He's part of the US militiary there, I think. We might as well as spam the thread to death by personal questions upon waiting to Ming to close this thread.

So, Space05us, you really are from Alaska? I've been wondering, what's the living in there like? Same as in the more normally geographically located states?
