What do European getbiggers think when..

[DanielPaul]

I heard of a city in Belgium that is considered to be the most american city in Europe that has a yearly festival and pays tribute to the sacrifice made by American troops.  But let's be clear the Americans that did that and the generation we have today is completely different.  Those men were our greatest generation and we'll likely never see another like it.

Nice of America to join the war

I agree about the "sports team" mentality, but great cultures rely on more than a few individuals.

Thought you were exclusively trolling, so sorry about the above. 

How are the two different in your eyes? It all seems so fickle to me. Whether it is sports teams or nations, you usually cheer for the one you were born into.

To give a topical example: If the Dutch government hadn't been bastards about my grandfather working for the Gerrmans*, my father would have emigrated to Australia in the late 50s. In which case I would not have been born, but for argument's sake: I would have been born an Aussie, would have worked the barbie, would have been sexing kangaroos, and be proud of, e.g., Perth. So it's too random for my liking.


*Yes, my grandfather worked for the nazis as a welder on warships near Hamburg. This caused the dutch government to declare him a collaborator. And technically they were right. It's just really easy to collaborate when armed men show up, and give you a choice to either leave your wife and newborn child behind for a year, or not collaborate, and all be carted off to 'somewhere'. So my grandfather hated the nazis for what they did during the war, and the dutch for what they did afterwards.

What is there to have pride in? Why be proud that other people did things that you happen to agree with? I have never understood nationalism or patriotism in any form. Not a fan of 'my' sports team either. Unless you own it and built it, it's not yours, so there's nothing to be proud of. Be proud of what YOU achieve, never try to steal other people's glory.

When you come from a country who didn't want royalty overseas to tell us what to do, and tax us like they did (eve though the real money was coming from the Caribbean), and then fought a "superior" yet very arrogant Euro force, then later on said force burned down your Capital...and then later on when you have a Civil War two Euro forces (including one who didn't forget the loss of a certain war) try to capitalize on said Civil War, and then way on down the road you help with your manufacturing prowess and nationalism the same countries who tried to fucked you over, then you'll understand.

Remember, Hitler practically walked unimposed thru France. That would have never happened in the US.

Nationalism can be a good or bad thing, it's how it is used that is the problem.

Bloodline has meaning, for better and worse.  Look how the Africans live and the sub par world they have created.  Look at the exceptional society the English built.

[DanielPaul]

My great grandmother had 9 children and 4 of which were boy , the three oldest boys were sent to fight in the war.  The oldest ,Clyde was sent to nuclear test sights in New Mexico and within 10 years after his discharge he died of a blood disorder believed to be brought on by exposure. The next was named Son and not Mich is known about his death just that he died in combat in Italy. The third is the most interesting, his name was Dewey he was injured in Normandy with a GSW to the face he spent three months in a British hospital then returned to war, shortly after they liberated a concentration camp that had be abandoned by the German but the Jews were to scared to leave.  The people were so desiesed and malnourished they began eating there dead to survive.  Shortly after they freed the camp they were on there way to the Rhine I believe an he was shot and killed.

And you had a hand in all of this how? If you want to be impressed by it, fine. But pride implies ownership, having partaken in something yourself. And I'm pretty sure you are not older than Basile, so we can rule that out.

Also, if that's your criterion, are you also proud of the Finns? The Swiss? The Basques? Of course not. You may be impressed by them, but they're not of your tribe, so no pride.

without the money made from American, African, Caribbean, and India the society that the English built would not have been so impressive. And due to the tiny size of the UK, they could not provide the manpower to sustain and enforce the vast empire that they created.

[SmallPole]

i guess some of you might be 'trolling', but it's really depressing to read some of those posts

haaha yeah look at 90% of london how its a ghetto.

lol.

the private compay eastern india company got their contract from the govt and went bust, it was the first case of too big too fail before it failed once and for all.

by today standards,it would be classified as piratery and aanexion

it really wasnt even the uk goverment per se, this also means it didnt serve the interest of the uk ppl.

[Eyeball Chambers]

Muslims deserve to rule Europe. They're not a broken people that have lost their natural sense of pride, that all humans share. Their proud, flesh and blood ancestors (who they are a modern day extension of, who have every reason to carry on their unique successful culture that gave birth to the modern world) would be ashamed.

Europeans have no heart, the continent of nihilism.

When their advanced society hits rock bottom, and they get back to basics they'll again be able to appreciate such human feelings.

The majority of Londoners aren't of British ancestry.

It's by proxy, but it instills pride that of what your countrymen can do, and also what you can do as well. It can be a dangerous thing, because it can lure others to blindly follow to do things based on "for honor, and for country"

And I am proud for those men and women who take pride in their country, sharing common positive goals for their country, and positive traditions.

Today, there is a saying in America. It is "Nobody hates America more than Americans"...
Think about that for a moment. People who have everything at their fingertips, yet hate the country that provides all that for them. The same high school kids who don't give a damn about saying the Pledge of Allegiance are wearing 200 dollar shoes, have 300 dollar Beats by Dre headphones, the newest smartphone, and their parents drive luxury vehicles...yet they have no pride in their country. Except during the Olympics.

Have you ever heard of "repping your city"? What city do you represent? When you anywhere you are a representative of your family (pride in family), represent your community, represent your town or city, represent your county or parish, represent your state, and ultimately represent your nation. If one is prideful of all of that...then one ultimately develops a national pride, so yes there is OWNERSHIP.

So, who are you reppin'?

I've not contributed anything to society, my family, or community so why should I appreciate or take pride in anything?

Sick generation

no trolling here pimp my great uncles made the untimate sacrifice for the greater good( even though they were drafted) my great uncle Dewey was given the chance to come home after his first injury but decided to stay, people just aren't willing to make sacrifices like that anymore

I'm sure he knows that.  Lots of garbage in London - probably many of his countrymen.

[galeniko]

Hitler killed junkies, gypsies, handicapped and the greedy.
Would it be so bad for the world if there was a new hitler?

hitler didnt personaly kill anyone but his dog(wow some heroic act)and himself.

he let others do the "work"

he killed german opposition politicians too, hows that for nationalism?


anyway, ww1, the trigger to this all was some bosnian serb nationalist, who thought the diplomatic way is going nowhere and killed some austrian royality twat.

then the austrians tried to impoase unacceptable rules on serbia, haha, read their demands, that was hilarious, everyone knew this will never be accepted, the serbs didnt want any of that(well they accepted most demands, but their own sense for nationalism i gess mad them not accept all,oh the irony).
the austrians been pushed by german authorities.
the german governement speculated that russia will not want any of this, but when they reaslized russia wants some, the german govt tried to withdraw, but not the german generals, they wanted action no matter what.

it went so far,even when nobody wanted to fight nomore, when brotish and german troops made some ceasefire of kinds "we no shoot you no shoot",and played cards and football instead, this was censored in the newspapers.

see its not even the troops who were the bad guys, the fish always stinks from its head.ie the top guys.

in this case , the german generals.

i can list all the names and their role, not sure i can be bothered though.

but, the austrians felt entitled to their own royal nationalism, would you like th anabsburg ruling?haha fuck hell no i wouldnt.

and the serb guy who shot the royal ferdinand they also had nationalist motives.

too bad it ended up in a world war i guess.and that ww1 later on led to ww2, giving rise to hitler.

its achain reaction of things that pre date even ww1.

The majority of Londoners aren't of British ancestry.

Yes, brought on by colonialism, an arms race, and a Kaiser who had an inferiority complex to his British grandmother.  There was so much flamboyancy back then with the armed forces.  IT was all about show.  They cheered the masses going off to war, until 10 million people didn't come home.  I think it was a cool time in history with all of the pageantry.  I was in a military store and saw an old uniform with he huge tassels and large feathered helmet.  I was surprised to learn it was a late 19th century US uniform.  Who knew, even we tried to get in on the look too.

So, who are you reppin'?

I'm 'repping' absolutely nothing and nobody externally whatsoever. The town I live in happens to be practical, as my office is here. The country is the one I was born in, but if I see a better opportunity I will drop it like a hot rock. Decades ago when I used to watch sports I only watched those matches where one could reasonably expect to see the best technique or conviction.

I 'rep' myself. The things I have achieved, the way I have helped (and am helping) others. Even the mistakes I made that have taught me to better myself. THAT I feel pride in. The rest is external and thus completely irrelevant.

And it instills pride to see what your countrymen can do? I never figured you for a racist. I truly believe that, given identical circumstances, any group of people could and would have done the same.
