Is America an idea?
« on: July 12, 2012, 06:02:57 AM »
As opposed to an actual place. Not saying that I don't see that we actually live on a big pile of dirt, but the actual country us Americans live in. It seems that the way the constitution/govt is set up, it is controlled by the majority or majority of voters. So let's say we don't stop immigration(middle easterners, Mexicans etc) that means that eventually the America we know today will not exist. Other people not born here, and have generations of ancestors here, have different ideals and perceptions of how things should be, and infect us with their new beliefs. Now you can say it is no different than when the Irish came here in the 1800s or whatever, but it is a bit different because the beliefs of these people are so polarizing to what we currently have set up. And, I'm not just talking about white people of European descent, I'm talking about the generations of blacks that have been here as well. I think this country is changing for the worse, but it is because of the very freedoms we allow/are guaranteed by our govt.

Other countries, take Switzerland for example, there are certain regions there where you can't even buy property as a foreign citizen, and there are limits to the size of place you can buy if not a citizen. Nobody is up in arms about this, yet if we denied people the right to buy property here, it would be an outrage. Why do we seem to be so easily pushed around by foreign interests or what others think about us. We need to be thinking about how to preserve our own. I say no more immigration. Any thoughts?

Your posts remind me of Rome, where the "idea" of Rome was no longer what Rome actually represented.

America is one big illusion of grandiosity. In reality, the rest of the world laughs at you classless, unintelligent fucktwats. Hope this helps.

Yes, the US is an idea/concept of freedom. And the fun thing is: The ones trying to curtail freedom are essentially all white.

If your perception were closer to reality, you would all kill yourselves. Kind of illustrative I had to actually explain this. Don't they sell brain cells by now on Ebay?

What exactly would I be jealous about. Your highbrow Redneck-culture? Your scientific hardcore Christians? Your superfast racing series called "Nascar"? Your obesity rate?

I'll never understand what it is with people from other countries feeling the need to tell us how much our country sucks.
Not like you see us constantly bitching about whatever the fuck country you're from, we couldn't give a fuck less what your country does.

Are you saying that envying the average american, would be tantamount to desiring your morbidly obese neighbours diabetes injections, Moen?

It's not just your trolling - its a constant theme from people far more serious than you.

Ehhh.... no. If Americans do anything, it is judging others. U-S-A #1 ==> everyone else > 1.

Seriously, from what I've seen, its because theyre constantly attacked for being Americans.
And the "America is #1" is not nearly as common a theme as people think it is, at least not in my experience.
There is a lot of people that take pride in being an American though.

You seem like a more well rounded American than a lot of your fellow countrymen, keep it that way!

It may not be obvious to you, but it is to anyone who isn't American. It gets old, hearing how much better the US is, even when discussing things which are demonstrably worse in the US.
