What are you complaints again? |

I can't quite remember, they had something to do with "asshole central" though. |

Let me tell you a secret, everything you hate about America is derived from Rush Limbaugh . He has set the tone for this new administration. He also formulated, which was quite genius, the attack on the left in this country over the Clinton years. The Bush administration, (I wouldn't be surprised), probably goes to him secretly on what to do next. Especially in the PR department. This is a long standing fued between the left and right ever since the Vietnam war. The politics in this country isn't about what the people want. It's what do my investors want and what do the other party want so I can do the opposite. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Now that the right control almost everything it's starting to seem like less of a fued and more like a take over. |

The capitalist paradigm is intrinsic to the American psyche. I'm guessing that this is probably more of what you hate than anything. I can't believe it's rednecks cause they are so out of the equation it's ridiculous. |

"they are, generally incredibly stupid -- there is an overwhelming majority of idiots who just sit around, get fat, and believe everything their TV tells them. " "What I have a problem with is this overwhelming majority of IDIOTS, the sort of people who say speaking out against a government is unpatriotic" "I believe that something as ill-concieved and pathetic as this could only come out of America, where the #1 reason you are alive is to MAKE MONEY." In other words: apathy, blind nationalism and materialism. Isn't this a problem in all countries? Also, have you considered why the average American is unconcerned about international affairs? Think about the size and makeup of this country. 1/3rd of the North American continent broken up into 49 separate independantly functioning states all possessing their own unique identity and culture. Plus, we're physically isolated from the rest of the world. It's like Europe is a village where everybody knows each other while America is a remote apartment tower. |

Yes.. you've articulated something very precisely there. That is certainly one of things i hate the most about American society, along with the passionate... *proudness* of their gun laws.. and other things. Both you and mertens have written some very good stuff which I'm going to respond to once I have the time. |

people seem to think that because we currently have a shitty, fucked up leader that the life of the average amercian has changed... the truth is that our lives are exactly the same as they were when clinton was in power and thats pretty damn good. the only thing that has changed is how people perceive us internationally. i get to go to school, live in a nice place in a great city with a nice view, plenty of booze, plenty of chicks and freedom of speech. thats the beauty of this country, all hell can be breaking loose on the the other side of the world and its still sunny and great here. same thing can be said for crisis within our own country; the day the world trade center was destroyed the west coast paused...and then got back to life with out a flinch. so in the end be proud of where youre from and dont hate on other countries, because when u do it sounds more like envy than hate. |

you're right, that website is proof that ALL americans are stupid. have a medal to go with your warm glass of SHUT THE FUCK UP. |

I think someone needs to do what they did to IDM... make the concept of Intelligent Americans which is separate from that of "Americans" which refers to the dumb stereotype called bobby-bill-joe who's fat, eats at mcdonalds, has a six-shooter and is married to his cousin. |

why can't people just say they hate the american government? it would avoid all this hassle. i've met a fair few americans & they are all safe as... the only country you are allowed to hate as a whole is france. |

because they also hate those ignorant fuckers that actually think bush is a great leader because he doesn't pay attention to the public, but follows his own mind. |

Wait, the people the deck glorify are americans and the people they make fun of are americans... If you aren't an american, why are you complaining about this? |

Do the majority of Americans think same sex marriage is gay? |

Ah, wait, I just got to the last deck. |

but there are ignorant fools everywhere. |

|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

yeah, and it'd probably be referred to in the same way about everyone. like, if there was a new law in norway that you found stupid, you'd probably go "stupid norwegians." It'll take too long to go "stupid john, peter, mary, polly, ingrid, james, gary, sally [...]" |

its harder to take something back after it's been given. this "freedom" exacerbates a more prevelent problem across the globe. waste gluttony and things like greed are taught to the west as a means of life. when will we open our eyes? its strange for me. i live and breath the capitalist air, share some of the same ideas and passions(as i'm sure most people do). people are people. i doubt its fair to judge others or make such harsh generalizations. besides, the cards were probably made in taiwan.... now there's something to think about |
||||||||
|
|

|

well the Americans that I know personally (from this board and outside) are great, NO! they're dreamy. but then there's also the Bush administration and it must've gotten there somehow. in fact, although as mr. Shope said a lot of Americans said "NO!" to Bush during the last election, the same Bush wiped his arse with the election before that and took to power anyway. that he got away with that, does amaze me - how basically the American people let Bush get away with it. oh well. too late now. |

most americans are to blame. whether you voted for bush or if you didn't vote at all, you are equally to blame. most americans by far chose one of those options. therefore, the overwhelming majority of americans are at fault. i don't think they're all stupid, though. one percent of them stood to benefit financially - those people are greedy assholes; many of these people are incredibly apathetic and/or ignorant. the rest are definitely idiots. but do most americans even realize that they have no control, no rights anymore? i doubt it. this aspect isn't totally the fault of the hopelessly oblivious - a lot of trouble goes into lying to americans all day, every day. case in point, a dramatic conclusion to another critical right: |

sorry, that was a bit harsh.. |
||||||||
|
|

What about eminent domain? How U like 'dem apples. It wasn't just Bush, it was the election of a shitload of republicans all over the nation. I stand by the idea that it is a diff Pov. As lots of the people that voted are well educated professionals. |

When I think about it. During election time. Gay marriage was all over the news. I say that changed everything. People are afraid of fags. Not me, just stupid Americans. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So..... Do you think same sex marriage is gay? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, a different point of view - of course that's what it is. and it's been my contention that the majority of people who share this view don't know fuck all about what they are buying into. by and large, they are ignorant people. read the definition of ignorant right now if you are unsure what that means. don't forget - the nazis were a political party. |
||||||||

Afraid of 'fags'!?!? this is your money from not so long ago, depicting white 'masters' and blackslaves.. |

same sex marriage is gay. Yep. |

He won with fear. Scared the shit out of a lot of people with this whole War on Terrorism. Not to mention his religious influence basically told like minded people "vote for me because thats what Jesus would do". You'd throw up at the amount of Christians who honestly believe that God sent him to earth to save America. Its scary. |

Whatever, I just figured out Aphex's secret email on analogue heaven. I have much reading to do. :-) |

Thats kind of wrong. I think more Christians in america think that we will soon be losing our superpower status fairly soon and are watching for the EU to become something more dominant. |

Now is a good time to focus more on music and art. Focus on politics and you are likely to spend time in a anti-citezen camp. |

|

I've spent my whole life obsessing over music, I couldn't possibly focus more on music and the arts. an interest in current affairs has always played a significant part in my life as well, but it's becoming ever more important to be involved and aware as time passes. |

All I can say is, make sure your spirit is all squared away, cause there are going to be mass graves in north america within the next ten years. |

Were you around when the World Trade Center buildings fell? I'd just like to comment on an electronic messageboard about American stupidity. The only real stupidity in America is the result of a bad economy and poor-parenting. Public education is horrible. Most alternative or affordable universities are more like bath-houses. Most children aren't interested in history or current international affairs, so libraries and schools are really just institutions to keep kids in a place day-to-day while their parents struggle to maintain their salary which is becoming increasingly difficult due to the failing economy due to the overspending of the government. So much is wrong with this country and everyone expects the people of the U.S. to be harvard graduates. So much could be solved by simply reading a book. |
