Casual anti-Americanism (2 Viewers)

[Squiggle]

ok, but if anyone asks I'm Canadian

Deal, that way it doesn't look so much like I'm breaking my vow

 

[Lord Damian]

Surely there are similar intolerances in the US too? I've heard American acquaintances of mine making comments about...Canadians...

errr...what?

 

[jane]

imagine being a muslim living in america right now
i'd say that's a blast

edit -
and i'd rather be an american living in ireland than eastern european, african, etc etc

Yes to both. I mean, I am by no means saying that I have it harder than other 'non-nationals'. On the contrary, the fact that I find it shitty sometimes makes me see it in other terms: that if I have a hard time with it, as an 'acceptable' foreigner, I can't imagine how fucking tough it must be for those who belong in the categories who are constantly slammed in the media, or who get racially harrassed on the street.

 

[Squiggle]

errr...what?

Note the word 'acquaintances' - but yeah! What's that about? Canadians are lovely eh

 

[SONYMEGADRIVE]

so stop bitchign about it!
suck it in

it's not nice or fair, but you're not bottom of the barrel, so stop wallowing....
or keep wallowing, it's not my place to tell you waht to do...but i dunno are you trying to get sympathy here?

it's not ideal but it could be far worse

 

[sugar_referee]

Who was it said that women have to work twice as hard to be thought half as good?
I'm a man (boy) and I work half as hard, and all my bosses thinks Im shit. That's a manageable deal.

Whatever, dude. I didn't say it couldn't be worse. I just said it's really fucking annoying. If I'm ever looking for sympathy, though, rest assured I won't come to you.

empathy is a big joke too

 

[Lord Damian]

all the yanks i've ever met are lovely people. a bit loud at times, some of them a tad boisterous, but hearts of gold.

speaking of which, Neil Young is technically a yank, so that's good enough for me.

also, i find i have more in common with somebody from michigan or new york than i do with some hippy jackass from BC or some toothless yokel from saskatchewan.

they've gotta do something about that whole 'religion' renaissance they got going down there tho - they seem to be moving backwards.

an american once told a friend of my mams "if you're looking for sympathy, honey, you'll find it in the dictionary between shit and syphilis"

charming bunch.

THE EXPLOITED LYRICS

"Fuck The USA"

There really is nothing nice about USA
You go to the hospital you have to pay
The dollar is the language that they all speak
they don't really bother about the radiation leak

FUCK THE USA

They keep their secrets undercover
the rich don't bother about those that suffer
this ain't the land of milk and honey
cause all they want is money money money

FUCK THE USA

Nuclear bombs are fuck all new
you'd better start running when they drop on you
run into a shelter, play hide and seek
cause when you die your body reeks

FUCK THE USA

There really is nothing nice about USA
You go to the hospital you have to pay
The dollar is the language that they all speak
they don't really bother about the radiation leak

FUCK THE USA

I'd say there's nothing casual about those lyrics!
Seems pretty calculated to me.

Play nice Janer

i know someone who can't take anything an american says seriously. Accent thing. Even a doctor or something. I blame TV.
