Yeah, wanker. I have a student who is British and some of her aphorisms have caught on.
And I love the line about the “failed and delusional republic”. That’s just so cute and precious of you to express your sour grapes attitude with such witless blatherings.
I just enjoy the irony that the OP is probably posting this from a Mac, Dell, or HP running Windows or OS X, and connected to routers from Cisco or Sun Microsystems. Thus every post he makes, no matter how vitriolic, relies on American imperialism to make it happen.
Since the OP hasn’t really given us a blueprint for making over the US as he’d like it,[thread=547328]I’ve started a thread[/thread] in GD asking for your suggestions for fixing the US (or other countries).
Meh. Americans say this shit about each other and have for years. You act like Americans are one cohesive group. We are not. It is about 25% of us who are dragging the nation and the world down, aided and abetted by another 25% who are too poorly informed to pay attention to see what is happening.
Without America, why, Canada would just go plummeting south until it crashed into Mexico. Which would then just make Canada the new America… Hmmph, let’s see how they’d do.
ETA: It’d also piss off the Mexican’s, and Manitoba would be the new Texas. I smell the Alamo alllll over again. Never forget!
“You know during the Persian Gulf war those intelligence reports would come out: “Iraq: incredible weapons - incredible weapons!” How do you know that? “Uh, well…we looked at the receipts.””
Maybe you should educate yourself a little more about Korea. Not only was there a pretty good reason to get involved in that conflict - i.e. stopping Soviet-encouraged aggression by a tyrannical, meglomaniacal dictator with delusions of godhood, but “we” (the US) DIDN’T run. “We” (the United Nations command formed to defend South Korea) are still there, manning the frontier along the DMZ along with the South Korean military.
I hereby, on behalf of all Americans, apologize for our having invaded Canada in revenge for 9/11.
No Blood For Oil Shale!!!
It is also regrettable that Americans tend to forget about our cultured neighbors to the north, until one of them starts acting like a boorish and unregenerate asshole.
Well, the thing to remember is this: they were made in the U. S. Nobody else invented them. Would someone else have invented them? Probably, sooner or later. The point is - we did. Sooner.
And it is a statement of fact that the world is a better place because of the U. S. We lead in innovations in industry, medicine, you name it. There it is.
Oh, and by the way…“Very Amerikan”? How cutesy and original that was. Did you think of it all by your own little self? Did you not stop and think for one second how stupid it makes you look to use terms like that? Apparently not.
Honor the military-industrial complex with every keystroke, bitches, cuz it invented the internet and now it owns your asses.
All of us kitty-stroking iPod titty-babies that make up the postmodern world are allowed to exist only because the hard patriarchy of power, to whom every daily matter is an act of war, pities us and can make money off us. Pray they continue.
