[QUOTE="bman784"]You mean people that aren't mindlessly devoted to vapid nationalism and criticize their country's decisions in the hopes of improving it? Those are called good Americans.bman784

Where did he imply that had to be overly patriotic jerks? Um, never. In fact he said you don't have to do so. He's just tired of people MINDLESSLY bashing.


He never made any mention to "mindless" criticism. I'm annoyed when people cirticize other people for being critical of their country, when being critical of your country is the only thing you can to to improve it. Especially when the country is as messed up as it is right now. I'm much more bothered by the people that are perfectly fine with everything that's going on than those who have problems with it.

he didn't say you can't be critical.


"un-American American" is the archetypal criticism that nationalists use to c.lassify all people who disagree with the country.

key word :archetypal. that goes hand in hand with stereotype in the context you used it.

Again, if you continued reading the thread, you would know the people he was specifying. He was not targeting liberals like yourself, so no need to get upset :roll:


His second post was a much more reasonable assertion, but I don't agree at all with the use of the term "un-American" to describe people who disagree with their country. This has nothing to do with me being liberal, I'm just arguing with the core assertion.

Okay, I see where your coming from. But I didn't take him saying un-American as anyone who disagrees with American policies. anyways I have to go to sleep for tonight. Mom is *****ing xD

There is a big difference between criticism aimed at fixing a problem and Anti Americanism.Godly_Cure

Indeed. I hope people can identify the difference.

But yes, I agree a lot of people have superifical political stances.

I dislike narrow minded cynics who, because of their particular perspective, think that every expression of political protest is motivated out of a selfish desire to "look hip" and not a compassionate moral obligation.

Don't weigh everyone on your own scales.

bradleybhoy

I don't believe anyone said every expression of political protest. I think he's talking about a specific group that is anti US for the sake of being anti US. Not for any specific cause.

Yeah, I'm so sick of the idiots who bash America and Bush left and right just because it's trendy. If you don't like the country, then get out. If you can't get out yet, then make plans to. Stop complaining and dragging the rest of us down with you. You don't have to have an American flag in every window of your house or listen to patriotic music or ANYTHING like that at ALL, but damn, have some respect for the country you're living in.

I love America, and I'm far from some all-out patriotic redneck.

Bush deserves all the criticism he gets. I won't get out. I had respect enough to serve...that DOESN'T mean I have to like Bush.

Hey, I'm not saying that people can't criticise him. I am not saying that at all. I love to hear other people's opinions, whether I agree with them or not. However, I get so damn sick of the stupid preteens who think they're being so political and badass and all 'down with the system' by just yelling about how dumb Bush is and how much he sucks even though they know next to nothing about him or what he's done or hasn't done.

Just so everyone knows, whining is not the same as colonist not liking taxation or the british crown.

whining is what children, and social parasites who blame the system for there failures do.

What I find really ridiculous is how chicks here in America are always talking about how British guys are "hot" when their only reference were a few James Bond movies with Pierce Brosnan. They probably can't even locate England on a map.

You mean you are sick of people not thinking America is the only country that has everything and all other countries are just third world slums with no electricity, running water or sanitation.

I bet you would think that Americans that have nothing against France is un-American don't you?

Personally I think a lot of the people in this country take a lot of things for granted especially the ones that complain the most. If you live in The United States, just take a look around once in a while and understand that you have it made in the shade.

The ones who side with other countries for everything. There are so many now. I've never seen it as much as in the past 3 to 5 years..The_Mac_Daddy

No offense but I think that is a very unenlightened thing to say. People have a right to express their opinion when they are no pleased with their country and recently, the US has certainly had problems.

Why should we be more like other countries? The more we get like them the worse we do. Weve slowly been getting more and more like Europe, and now look at where were at.

We need to be more like the REAL America and have a strong free market again. Thats the only path to prosperity.

SunofVich

No.. you assume too much. Because believe it or not, I'm one of the few people I know who really doesn't have a problem with France. I have no problems with people supporting their own country, and liking things about other countries. But some people are so disrespectful to America, the country which they were born and raised in.

So if your parents raise you like crap, say lock you in a basement (making gay marriage illegal), you have to be respectful to them? Right.

No the good Americans come up with the plans to change things not whine about what they don't like.

If no-one calls for any change, there can be no change. :|

How do you think black Americans gained their legislative civil rights? They sure as hell didn't get it handed on a plate to them by the government who suddenly realised, "hey lets be good Americans and make a plan to change things". Protestors had to fight for every inch of ground. I'm sure there were people back then complaining about whiny uppity negroes that should be grateful for what they've got.

theres a difference in what Martin Luther King Jr. did and what you're doing right now.... a big difference. Watch the episode of the boondocks where Martin luther King comes back to life and sees what he sees. that's what they are.

Could there be a more empty statement than to disagree with someone by simply questioning their patriotism?

Take a look back at history and see what people have done who harp on patriotism as a method of forwarding their goals.

Both extremes are highly irritating, but if the country does something genuinely stupid/offensive/wrong then one has a right to complain, but those situations are few and far between, with the ones liking to complain blowing smaller issues out of proportion just to seem intelligent.

[QUOTE="ElectronicMagic"]I think a lot of people confuse people that "hate" America with people like myself who are simply "embarrassed" by America.The_Mac_Daddy

Why would you be embarassed to be an American? That's the propoganda I'm talking about.. a lot of the news media, the internet, etc makes you feel like you should be embarassed to be American. I am g**damn f****** proud to be lucky enough to be an American.

You just contradicted your whole point. If people are "up" on current events, they have plenty of justification for their opinion about America. I thought you were upset at people who had no reason to diss America other than because other people did it, but now you're assuming that someone has a reason to be embarassed by America and you're still calling them unpatriotic.

If every time people didn't like what their country was doing they left, then you'd still have slaves, the puritains would be in charge, it would be illegal to be gay women would not be able to vote, and there wouldn't really be much point in voting anyway because the same people would always win.

First of all, America doesn't raise people like crap. Grass is always greener on the other side for some people i guess. Secondly, where your anology fails, is that if you don't like it here, you can get out.

..... and inequality.

If you had a completely free market you would have no street lights or roads and the rich would get richer while the poor get poorer. A degree of socialism is required for countries to function properly.

Why should we be more like other countries? The more we get like them the worse we do. Weve slowly been getting more and more like Europe, and now look at where were at.

We need to be more like the REAL America and have a strong free market again. Thats the only path to prosperity.

The free market is why we are where we are now.

haha please explain how (IN DETAIL) how the free market causes housing market crashes(which is a major source of our economic problems, if anything a free market would prevent it because we constantly bail out failing banks). because im sure if you actually knew anything about the free market, you would not be saying that. anyway explain your stance and then ill explain mine.

What's Un-american anyway? Are you saying people actually have "american" and "unamerican" qualities? :? Being critical of your country, if you ask me, is a damn site better than following it blindly.

..... and inequality.

If you had a completely free market you would have no street lights or roads and the rich would get richer while the poor get poorer. A degree of socialism is required for countries to function properly.

in before "LIES! ALL LIES! :cry:"

Or something to that effect.

Put the weed down, I never said we were LIKE europe. Keep reading what I say until it sinks in. im not blaming anyone for failures. Im saying we need to be more individualistic rather than collective.

H8sMikeMoore

I dont understand how you can even be "like europe" when europe is an entire continant of different countries which all act very differently. :|

:lol: you're nothing like Europe. How typical of you to indirectly blame others for your failures...

You're the most "individualistic" nation in the west. You certainly don't need anymore of it.

I suggest you stay away from such ridiculous experiments...at least until your economic problems are solved.

Oh and please tell me how you're "getting more and more like Europe" then...

are you kidding me?????????????? I dont even know where to begin with this I feel like im going to vomit.

anyway I suppose this is as good as anything:

1. NOBODY IS EQUAL, AND NOBODY WILL EVER BE EQUAL GET OVER IT.

2. We would have no street lights or signs? WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THIS FROM? You mean to tell me someone isnt gonna make profit off of street lights and signs? LAUGHABLE AT BEST

3. How does Capitalism = Rich get richer and the poor get poorer? I really dont think you get it. a free market creates wealth for all people. Wealth trickles down as manufacturing becomes cheaper and as the currency of the country creates more value, the poorer become RICHER. The federal reserve system is declining the value of our dollar, and its not exclusively part of capitalism. Capitalism and a federal reserve system dont really work well together.

seriously do a wikipedia search or something (better than here) stop getting you views on this forum.

Being critical is fine.. and even good. I'm talking about something different. Basically people who live here who think America is some evil superpower. Just people who bash America on everything. Government is evil. 9/11 was the government. Military sucks. blah blah.

I mean America isn't perfect but at least have a sense of pride from where you come from. I mean damn.

I'm just sick and tired of people whining. 'oh no, our leader is evil. our military is getting wiped out in iraq. we're all fat and lazy. etc. boo hoo. I'm sorry world, sorry about this war going on. I didn't want to do it but my evil government made us. i feel so embarassed.'

I've never seen so many p****** in my life.
