Q: Really, dude, Britain is cool, but it's not special. No country is more special than the other. So what if they've got London and amazing music? So what if that country is the setting for Dracula? It's no big deal where you live.
Well, it kind of is, depending on the situation in the country and such.
Where did you hear that fact? My dad has been all over Europe and Asia, and he has never told me of any instance where he was not accepted with friendliness.
So you believe the country where America gets it's founding roots and was one of the most powerful country for a hundred years, and America's greatest ally, is no bigger deal than Nigeria.
Let's just say it's a good thing you don't plan on becoming a diplomat, you'd screw us over.
I know that people hate America. Maybe the people your dad met did treat him with friendliness, but not all people do. If you've seen the movie Saint with Val Kilmer (one of the best actors, I love the movie Thunderheart), then you'll see that from the drama point of view.
Especially if you go into the middle east. Some people would love to verbally harrass Americans (or even worse). But it's not just there either. For the most part, Americans are stuck up, selfish, and have too much money.
It's better to screw over then to be screwed on. Just so you know.
So, a
Dramatic movie, is your "factual" information that people hate America. Do you really want me to prove how wrong you are, or do you just want to concede that Hollywood manipulated you now? Cause, this is going to be brutal.
You realize Iraqis, Israelis, and Afghanistanis see us as saints, do you not? We kept Israel from destruction from marauding hordes of Islamic fascists, we saved the Iraqis and Afghanistanis from the rule of evil dictators. Then put in tons of money to rebuild their countries so they could share the same freedoms we have. Gosh, we suck. How do I sleep at night?
You realize you never make a single logical argument, do you not?
It's true anyways. Every sane American knows that people hate us. And as for Hollywood 'manipulating' me, it's manipulated others, so why chew me out? Besides, sometimes film is based on facts. Don't forget it.
And they don't all think of us as saints I may add. Some of them hate our guts because we invaded their country. I would be too, if someone came in and invaded our country. Imagine if they did that to you, would you like it? i didn't think so.
As for no logical argument, I'm at the point where I really just don't care. Honestly, I really don't. I'm sick of it, actually. Sometimes logic just doesn't cut it. You need anger to drive you on sometimes. Sometimes you need sadness to cut your pride down. Other times you need love to build yourself up, and to keep hate at bay.
I am not CHEWING YOU OUT. We have had a million discussions before. Realize, for once, that I hold no personal feelings against you. I am just destroying your beliefs because you are promoting them and they are wrong. And you're very wrong. Sane Americans don't care what the world thinks of us, duh. ^_^ They also don't believe movies as real.
If someone liberated me from an evil dictator who gassed millions of his own people. I'd probably be happy. But, I am part of the group you call insane. I mean, we made their streets safe, allowed them to vote for the first time in years, and gave them their own country again. Scoundrels!
But guess what? None of that helps you in an argument. All those things make you look like an idiot when you try and say your beliefs if you build your beliefs on emotion.
Sorry, wrong words >.< Don't call me out for it was what I was looking for.
As for destroying beliefs, that's rather rude.
But they're BRAINWASHED Q. They don't know anything better than that. They have a right to be ticked.
Well, I guess I can just be an idiot, a loser, AND a tool. Doesn't matter to me anymore :P
Okay. No big deal, then.
Don't be wrong Xp
I'm sorry, what? ^_^
Let me get this straight. I was in a country, where I had only one religion, I was ruled in fear, I was shackled to an oppressive regime that killed homosexuals by covering them in poo and stuffing them in a cave with bugs. I lived under a regime that gassed a million of it's own people because they were kurds with biological weapons. People went missing in the streets. Death was everywhere. Reading was zero. Voting was of course none.
Then Americans come. They fight, kill some innocents, but overturn the regime. Saddam Hussein is killed. Osama is on the run. The streets are suddenly safe. I can vote for the first time. I no longer have to hide in fear. I can do what I want! I have freedom!
And, yet, I am brainwashed? I should be mad? Those darn americans! They gave us, responsibility? They gave us, freedom? Those blasted Americans with their human rights?
Can you explain what part of this I missed. Because I missed something huge here. I hope you know, you sound brainwashed.
