dispalor Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I'm sorry. In which way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I stated that to reinforce that making sweeping generalizations of 250 million+ people over one Rambo (or our administration) is the product of flat out ignorance and/or a superiority complex. I read some pretty silly stuff coming from other countries, I sure as heck don't bash them or form opinions of their folk. Or put words in their mouths either. And what the heck is this "you" in your post? Does this imply me as well? Or our administration? Or 250 million people? Or just Rambo? As I read it, it implies all of us. To everyone, I'm starting to get pretty edgy reading some of the horse-hockey posted on this forum, and I have been holding my tongue and keeping from political discussions, but no more. It seems that certain "enlightened" people hold a whole lot of grudges and are easily riled by the inane ramblings of certain morons. If anyone wants to play the country bashing and blame game, grow the hell up, or become a politician and fix things. Otherwise, shut up and get back to what we are supposed to be doing, talking SC 2. Everyone's crap stinks. Signed, The redneck neo-nazi American who lives in his own bubble and plunders the world for fuel for his SUV, who also thinks everything un-American is inferior and HAS to support Bush and all of his decisions because AFTER ALL HE IS AN AMERICAN. P.S. SUVs suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dispalor Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Sorry again, but I don't understand where's the point in your posting. I'm almost exactly your opinion, because of that I wrote I hate america-bashing and that was not the first time in this forum. But Rambo starts to give me the creep. He is ignorant and insults people. I'm tired of hearing "WE do this and WE do that and how do YOU thank it?" Why do you wonder how it comes that someone answered? Yes, he is the archetype of the american "hero" Europe hates. Are all Americans like Rambo? I doubt it. Is a major part of all Americans like Rambo? I doubt it. Is a big minor part of all Americans like Rambo? I doubt it. Is a small minor part of all Americans like Rambo? I hope for the sake of all gods that not. *I* don't take him as a typical american. But a quite nice part of Europe does. This is dumb, but it's reality. And it can't be wrong to say so. Even I get angry about his bullcrap! ...although I try to ignore it... You lied to us? You? No. I don't know you. I don't know many americans at all. But represents of the american people lied to us. Many times before that war. They tried to force us into a war, that wasn't right. You? Okay, I take this word back. Pleased? I know that there are many differences in the political point of view between our parts of the world. We can discuss it, I believe that human kind is able to do so. Perhaps not even to convince, but to *understand* each other. But in reality its working often like poision. That's a pity, because how could we learn from each other in another way than speaking about it. But I can feel the posion in this forum, correct me if I'm wrong. I second your suggestion to let politics out of the game. It will not happen, but it's a good idea. That's why I avoid that other thread about political stuff like hell.

dispalor Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 As I read it, it implies all of us. Wasn't my purpose, I apologize if you understood it this way. I have troubles with your government and american superheros, nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Dave Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 To everyone, I'm starting to get pretty edgy reading some of the horse-hockey posted on this forum Well ND, I'd advise, Since we sure wouldn't want youse gettin' All edgy... don't read them Sorts of posts what might Cause you dis-ease, then, What say? See, Not everything here is about... you. You what? 22? Been here - about a month? Now you want to run things? LOL. If anyone wants to play the country bashing and blame game, grow the hell up, or become a politician and fix things. Otherwise, shut up and get back to what we are supposed to be doing, talking SC 2. I would suppose folks can talk about Whatever they please, Without some edgy prowl Cat hovering over Their shoulder, Sayin' this is OK, oh, That ain't so freakin' cool. Freedom of Speech. We got it Here in America, for Now, anyhow. And, You CAN talk about SC-2, who's stopping you? 'Course, you had a lot to say Yer very ownself, All about... that there "Illegal immigation" issue, eh? Should I have had any inclination To join in that particular OFF TOPIC bitch & jive, I might've said: "You are right on, I agree That we do need to get control Of our own borders." Which is what I also happen to believe. So, I guess? When YOU want to go O/T, that's alright, BUT! Nobody else can? Unless they check - with YOU first, 22, Been here a whole month? See if it's alright? Like I said, LOL. BTW: If yer gonna have a quote, How about mentioning the author? Thatta way, Any can decide if it's someone They might respect enough To take it seriously. Attribution, it's called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuniworth Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Back to the metric system and stuff. What really sucks is the 1 minute = 60 seconds. That screws things up. Would be easier if 100 sec = 1 minute. 100 minutes = 1 hour. 10 hours = 1 day or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_j_rambo Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 It's easy to sterotype who is "WE". People without jobs (college students) & those sucking a check of the government (lazy) are the ones who hate the current government, always find that funny Not working, yet bashing our economic policies. For the life of me, I do not understand the USA bashing as we drive our SUV's, talk on the cell phone, eat at Mickey D's, goto Disney, play on the internet, etc. Why bash the USA? What else could you possibly want or expect for your life compared to the way the Socialists & other whackies live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cary Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Originally posted by jon_j_rambo: Just saw on CNN, the Jap Prime Minister is off to Graceland, I love it! Interesting way of making up for too many visits to Yasakuni. Perhaps apropos, and certainly in response to the growing rancor in the thread, it is probably particularly worth it for Americans to remember that we won/stole a lot of space in which to sling our elbows around and swagger. Sadly, we seem only barely to be realizing that we don't have that much space any more -- if nothing else, Iraq is probably the most crowded political space on the globe, and it has been since Babel fell. The armed society is a polite society, but it helps if those armed can stay at some distance from each other.

Or, let's say, Some old lady, in Idaho, Or Missoura, or down Alabam way, Is disabled? Can't hardly walk without 'er cane? NEEDS that little bit of Gov assistance. She some crazy old "lazy" as well? LOL, Give me a break, Jake. For the life of me, I do not understand the USA bashing... You guys some strange Cats, You ask me. If YOU bitch & moan & blather & groan, THAT's OK, That's how you like to do, Ever body should applaud And stomp & whistle. Cool stuff.

jon_j_rambo Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Wasn't directing that comment to you Dave, but rather all the crowd dissing on Chaney for having money. They need to be equal opportunity bashers of those with cash. Personally, I'd rather have some abuse by Capitalism, at least it's not the government or Socialism in charge.

Instead it seems that you are against everything else on this planet. Why don't you & I meet in a game of SC or SC2? That's where I'm at my best. Granted, you are surely a tough nut to crack when it comes to these games. I am not so hot in SC-Multiplayerterms. Only appr. 5 games online and 10 hotseat against human players. A matter of too little freetime to spare. But of course i would play, if we would find a common time to play. I am no chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
