this isnt complicated papabear, he wasnt calling you a nazi, he was only pointing out graphically how you are acting. you see, you obviously were offended by it. and tell me now, is there something to be offended about, or did his words really point out the truth which you are trying to deny by hiding yourself behind a flag “everybody” thinks saved the world. (clarification for those who cant read between lines: “everybody” = americans. referance = papabears thread “we couldnt refrain from asking…is there intellEgent life in iceland” saved the world = go see id4, x-files or any of this “it happened in america”) ---

I think I may have actually deciphered some meanning from bjorn’s last post. Apparently he thinks there’s actually some correlation between real life in the USA and American movies. ---

The Native Americans Socialist? What on earth are you talking about? “Chief Running Bear, The tribe increasing your corn, beaver pelt and arrow tax. We are also nationalizing your teepee.” ANd as for Norway, Sweden, France, Denmark…how are you defining success. Look, America is partially socialist too. Just not to the extremes of the example you cite. Socialism is a financial disincentive to the people. Look at the unemployment rates in the above countries. ---

well duh! to begin with american movies are made by americans, for americans, in america etc. etc. etc. i do of course know and value the art of acting, but belive me when i say this, i dislike any movie, whereever it is from that mentions anything about national pride and babble like that. fabricate a country and take pride of their acomplishments, call it movieland or something. and preferably send it to the dark side of the moon! basically stick it where the sun doesnt shine bj0rn [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/american-invasion/1589.md?page=2)
