Americans - posts moved from the Galt thread

[GooMaiRoo]

Now I should mention that Mr Galt is not your typical American,...

You're correct. Your typical American wouldn't be so creepy as to spend half of his time electronically stalking someone for the purpose of ruining his career. Your typical American wouldn't be so arrogant as to spend the other half of his time boring us with his 'superior knowledge' of a foreign culture.

Au contraire; your typical American is so arrogant that he believes that the rest of the world wants and needs to be just like America and that if the rest of the world was just like America the world would be perfect.

^a bit like a typical Englishman then

^They're mighty protective of their language. That's fer sure.

If someone began expounding about 'your typical Jew' or 'your typical Black', he would sound pretty f*cking ignorant before he finished his first sentence. Is the spewing negative and broad generalization about people with the blue passports somehow intellectually and morally more defensible? If it was some moron on a barstool, I would understand. But it is often highly-educated Europeans barfing this nonsense. Educated people who can't differentiate individuals from their citizenship are just as bigoted as the rest of the planet, it just takes a different form. (P.S., my name is not George Bush, I am not fat, I do not drive an SUV, I do not like to tell anyone how to live and I can locate the Pacific Ocean on a map)

Not in "Domestic Issues" recently, that sort of thing seems to be quite 'en vogue'.

-sorry, off-topic.

I'd say FP did a pretty good job with your language, fellas.

Witty, very witty. Read a lot of Oscar Wilde do you?

No, but calling it 'The blue passport' is a sign of the arrogance.

I have a blue passport, (not from the US) but wouldn't presume it was so special to give it the definite article.

There's not a lot else left to be protective about.

IsaanAlex and Kerux are suspected by Stroller and Dr Bob to be racist loons with delusions and an inablility to answer questions.
Kerux and IA feel aggrieved about this and claim that Stroller and Dr Bob are dishonest posters. Sometimes when they do this Stroller will delete their comments and IA calls foul, he also uses lots of winking smileys. Kerux is probably more of a loon than IA and never ever posts a post that isn't in someway derogatory towards Jews or blacks. Naturally, blackgang likes IA and Kerux and greens them as often as he can making sure that Stoller gets plenty of reds in the mean time.
Both Kerux and IA favour the use of Stroller's PMs in their signature.

Horrible mistake on my part. Next thing you know, I'll be carpet bombing defenseless Third World peasants. You've proven my point: anti-Americanism is very understandable given what our government is doing to the planet, but it has truly lost its balance.

[Lily]

No, you are wrong there.

Most people dont like what your government is doing, but that is only half of it.

It is the arrogance of lots of Americans that being from the US is the ultimate, as in your statement about 'The blue passport' as if you think that having 'the blue passport' confers something that is extremely special and something that everyone wants.

You have 'a blue passport'. As do many others who are not Americans.

^^^Wow CMN, that's really good (for you)....could you post a regular update of what is happening in Issues, in the cap's lounge..

It'd be like a freak show or watching a good episode of Eastenders....make sure you leave us with a cliffhanger at the end of each update.

"How will Stroller reply to IA's abusive PM? Will blackgang call CMN a fuckwad? We'll let you know in next weeks exciting installment of "Whacked out Freakbuckets""

[Lily]

I want a daily report please Nick!

Actually that is a good thread topic. The 'Days of Teak Door' with the gossip about who is insulting who and who is eating what!

Burns wouldn't have been so crass to say: "You've got a big arse".

Wilde:Your majesty is like a stream of bats piss.

Wilde:well...shining out like a shaft of gold when all around is dark.

HM:Witty Wilde,very witty.

FP said "passports" not "passport" Lily. Raise your game.
