Posts insulting America

Posts: 9274 - Karma: 10,648
Here's something I'd like to make very clear to everyone who makes posts critical of the United States. As an American, I'm very proud of my country, and I always want it to do the right thing. To that end, I disagree with many, many things my country does. I think you'll find that many Americans (actually, probably about half of us), do the same.

Therefore, if you're going to insult my country, please attack or insult the people responsible, not ME as an American, because chances are I'll agree with you. But if you're going to make a point and then say, 'Man, America sucks' or 'Great country you got there, aye?' then I'm going to take it personally. I'm doing my best to help my nation find its way, as are many people I know, and to randomly insult us all for the way the country is now accomplishes nothing.

jaypeak, i can't take anyone serioulsy who can't type on the keyboard properly.

and ethan, good point, its just, even the ones not responsible for what their government is doing, does not do anything about it. no one protests anymore, no one tries to right the wrongs. it has become a sin to look down upon what you country is doing.

fight back and show the rest of the world that you are not part of current americanism as for the most part is is not americans people are insulting but americanism.

i think that america used to stand for liberty and progressive thinking, but the flourishing of the capitalist economy has changed that. we are materialistic, consume way too much, and need to realize we live in a world where our actions matter. as an american, i am sorry if i 'insulted' you, but we need to stop ignoring the truth. remember there is a difference between insult and constructive critisim.
depending on my mood, you might get a nice thoughtful responce that might make sense, or you might get complete jibberish that is not wise to even read. good luck

skibum, he wasn't attacking canadians. he said there are ignotant people everywhere.


I would be protesting in a second if it would do any good. Now adays, people would just brush you off as a 'dirty hippy' and not change their minds. the majority of the people are too thick headed to have their minds changed. anyways, i have more of a problem with the culture. american pop culture is appalling to me. People care more about what color J. Lo's hair is or who hooked up on the O.C. then the genocide going on in Sudan. The general American culture puts so much importance on looks that people paralyze their faces to look younger (botox). it makes me sick.

It's not satisfying to watch the majority of American's who vote, vote our country into the ground. That puts a sour taste into my mouth, there are a lot of ignorant Americans out there.

Oh, and dspin's post was good too. But the rest of you fucktards can take a hike.

A WAR president. Thats what we fucking NEED. We need to declare war on Austrailia. Pave all the beaches and put up those wall things that they use to break surf (to protect reefs from erosion of course) so they can't surf anymore. Then just leave.

Then the UN can stop recognizing Austrailia's independance and turn it back into a Penal Colony for the UK.

Then Canada... Canada is next, oh yes. This time they won't be able to defend themselves because their own government will have taken all their guns!

dude, alot of what you guys have said has been true. but i dont really agree with kamakazi's opinion on how you shouldn't personally attack americans. all this political rhetoric and theory is just dandy, as we sit here at our fancy computers in our plush houses, living lives of comfort and privlage. nevermind the people who actually built the computer, living in rural china and india, working assembly lines for pennies on the hour so we can do exactly what we are doing now. thus i find it slightly ironic that we are all sitting around bashing capitalist corporations.

that being said, i agree with derek that holding up a sign on a street corner doesnt do anything...check out www.earthfirst.org for other alternatives.

I also don't appreciate the people who immediately criticize any political comment on NS as 'armchair activism,' as some of us have been known to do, because you really don't know anything about the 'activism' or political involvement of the person making the post. Boards said that he doesn't agree with me because I'm not doing anything- how do you know that I'm not doing anything? Maybe I'm just sitting on my ass posting on NS... maybe I'm doing that, and voted for John Kerry; maybe I did both of those, and choose to live an an area where progressive politics dominate; maybe I donate my time to canvass for progressive organizations and ballot measures; maybe I've been on a street corner many a time with a sign in my hands. You really have no right to judge my political involvement.

God damnit, I coined that term! At least attribute it to me!

Also, Armchair Activists are the people that complain about the government on the internet, don't do a very good job of THAT, and don't do anything else.

I thik over the course of Americas history what America stands for and what it is and has become are growing farther apart.
I thik ppl who Criticize AMERICANS as ppl and not our governments actions are guilty of the same mistakes that drug us into Iraq, asumptions and jumping to conclusions.

at what point in this thread were there any australian comments, other than the post that was obviously not serious regarding us walling up all of the beaches in australia, aussiepimp why dont you answer the questions that you just asked us, because you obviously are so single minded in your hate of america that you have no idea that stupid people are all over the world, and that you yourself might be one of those, please tell me what americans are so ignorant about, because in your neverending battle to prove that americans are ignorant, you never cease to be extremely fucking vague, so next time you want to make a comment about america, please back your worthless statements up with facts

sorry, but how can you criticize a country without mentioning the people in it. how the hell do you think it got that way? for another thing, bush got reelected, right? well that means that 52% of the country voted for him. no that 52% of the country is stupid or ignorant. they chose. simple as that.

I know plenty of people that voted for Bush that are very politicaly informed and more intellgent than the majority of you. I love how liberals associate voting for Bush with being stupid. To many people he obviously represents ideals that they believe in. Many people don't want our country moving in a socialistic direction. Critisizing someone soley by who they voted for is plain ignorant and furthermore is quite the opposite of the kind of ideals this country was founded on.

ethan, i was not direclty pointing to you not doing anything, but the whole culture in your nation where speaking against the government has become bad.
derek pointed otu that any activists are dubbed hippies, and it is a painful thing to watch from the outside.
i congratulate those who do continue the fight and don;t jsut give up 'kuz the exlection is over', the people who realize it does nto have to be 4 more years. dissent can lead to elections.
andy, you stole armchair activist, you did not make it up. don't claim things beyond you, that term is quite widely used and old.
i don't pin voting for bush as absolutly being stupid, as kerry was a douche also, hell its better for canada that bush is in again, means our economy willget even better, but its just bush.....he is not a very good leader. he is a country fried biggot whoo seems ignorant of culture.
so the question what does USA currently stand for? i don;t even know if its leader could tell you an honest truth.

I think Bush could say what the coutnry stands for, but it would be opposite of his actual agenda. There are equal amounts of ignorant liberals and conservatives. I think that the uninformed conservatives are much more outspoken than the uninformed liberals though. Liberals who speak otu at LEAST have read a Moore book (as much as that is propaganda, he has points). It seems uninformed conservatives base arguments solely on religion and what their mommy and daddy told them. If you're an informed conservative, you know who you are. I am just pointing out what I observe, I know it is generalizing. And I am not saying I am overly informed.

The majority of Americans voted Bush and the governemnt into power, so blaming the American people for America's faults is right, because the American people voted. If you did not vote for Bush or do not support, don't take offense to the attacks on the nation and its people, you obviously don't support it. I am a Canadian and sometimes what we hear is wrong or misinterpreted or different to what it's actually like in the US, I would appreciate it if Americans didn't throw tantrums when we say something incorrect, but corrected us and provided a logical argument.

try being from canada and trying to live here. i cant even vote, all anyone ever says to me is 'you dont matter, you cant vote' it sucks. and the only reason we should be that worried about bush is the issue of him not having to run for president again. its amazing what people will do once reelection isnt going to be hurt by it.

hasnt anyone in this thread realized that its pointless posting in threads like this? it doesnt change anyones mind and if someones shit gets ruined they brush it off and say the same bullshit theyve been saying all along. But wait, the thing that the other person said that ruined their shit might have been bullshit too. its pointless, the same arguments are presented over and over again. i dont care if someone says america sucks. they can suck my dick and the people that are offended can cry me a river. who cares. you arent going to change anyones mind by bitching about it online.
