This is about bait-n-switch, people. Listen the hell up.
I am a 24/7/365 stoned freedom-hating socialist Neo-Nazi America-hating liberal jihadist Ayers-humping homo that has sex with goats. That is why I voted for Obama.
Obama made many promises to which he has yet to fulfil. The Right was right. He’s nothing but an empty suit full of nothing but lies, lies, lies.
AND I AM VERY ANGRY.
I voted for the candidate I thought would hate America the most, who would be one born on foreign turf with no birth certificate, who would side with the terrorists, who would let me be lazy and still get a salary, who would not talk to those godamned Republicans on the other side, who would be 100% partisan and divisive, and who would help make America an Arabnegro Supremacist Kenyan-clone-country that would force us whites to be slaves, to wear purple and orange, eat KFC, chitlins, collard greens, watermelon and learn rap songs.
HE HAS DONE NONE OF THIS.
—> I am still required to keep my job. Obama has yet to replace my full-time salary with a government pay check so that I can be unemployed for free — leaving enough time for me to get fat and watch Oprah all day.
—> I am pissed because he talks to white people.
—> I am pissed because he hasn’t gone on vacation yet.
—> I am pissed because he talks to Republicans and even asks their opinion.
—> I am pissed because he talks to religious people and wants to be in with them.
—> I am pissed because he said it was wrong to jump on fallen bodies at Walmart. As a liberal, I like to jump on bodies and cause human suffering – especially to infants.
—> He is still not a dictator.
—>Osama still hasn’t made us wear brown shirts yet.
—> I still have free speech and I fucking hate that goddamed stupid retarded idiotic free fucking speech.
—>When an American defends her country, it’s “blind nationalism”. When another national from elsewhere does the same, it’s defending.
—>When an American does something nice, it’s fake or done “with strings attached”. When nationals from elsewhere do something nice, it is coming from the wholesome goodness of their hearts.
—>When an American commits a crime, it’s due to their inherent nature. When another national from elsewhere commits a crime, it’s their culture or they just made a little mistake.
—>When an American buys a car (not an SUV – just a regular car), it’s materialism. When another national from elsewhere buys a car, it’s needed.
—>When an American compliments or sympathizes with nationals of another country, it’s agenda-ridden. When another national from elsewhere does the same, it’s because they really like and sympathize with them.
—>When an American disagrees with the government of another country, it’s an evil attack on their culture, hypocritical, and racist! When another national from elsewhere does the same, they are just trying to help spread awareness per the “peace movement”.
—>When an American bashes another country (England, for example), it’s racism. When another national from elsewhere bashes Americans (i.e intolerant, stupid, uncultured), it’s “constructive criticism”.
—>When an American doesn’t understand a joke, it’s because “Americans can’t understand satire due to the illiteracy rate in America”. When a national from another country doesn’t get a joke, it’s because of the “cultural difference”.
—>When an American drives an SUV, it’s because they have an evil conspiracy to emit carbons to purposefully destroy the world and all of its inhabitants. When a Canadian drives an SUV, it’s because they have a big family or something.
—>When an American speaks loudly in Europe, he’s a “typical American”. When a Brazilian speaks loudly in Europe, it’s just “their culture”.
—>When America bombs another country, it’s murdering innocents for purposes of profiteering and for having a perverted obsession with gore and death. When another national from elsewhere does the same, it’s defending (i.e. 9-11).
—>When America elects a black president, it’s Affirmative Action. If another country should do it too, it’s showing tolerance and acceptance toward minorities and progressing past the stone ages.
—>When an American has both conservative and liberal ideals, it’s considered disingenuous and agenda-ridden. When another national from elsewhere commits the same “horrible act”, he is considered a person with both conservative and liberal ideals.
—>When an American owns a gun, it’s because they’re a natural born killer in love with blood and gore. If an Australian has a gun, it’s because he’s a hobbyist.
—>When an American claims to have been treated well in another country, it’s fraudulent. When another national from elsewhere makes a similar claim, they are being genuine because after all, who couldn’t love a non-American?
—>When an American has sex, it’s due to their uncontrollable obsession. When a national from another country has sex, it’s because they’re human, natural, and unrepressed – “unlike the Americans”.
—>When an American claims to have traveled and/or lived in another country, it’s an outright lie(I guess the tales of the infamous nationalist American tourist becomes conveniently forgotten, then?). When another national from elsewhere makes the same claims, it’s a sign that they are “cultured”.
—>When an American misspells a word, he’s a “typical American”. When another national from elsewhere does the same thing, it’s a “typo” – he’s only human.
—>When an American eats a Big Mac, they are being a “typical American”. When another national eats a Big Mac, it’s a sign that they have fallen victim to American oppression by way of American Globalization, and one should have sympathy for the poor soul.
—>When an American receives their paycheck from work, it’s called “stealing from the poor man”. When someone from another country keeps their paycheck, they’re entitled to it as they earned it.
—>When an American has been waiting for their coffee in Europe for 3 hours and begins to get impatient, they’re just being a “typical entitlement-oriented American”. When another national gets impatient over the same thing, it’s due to bad service at the cafe.
—>When an American gets angry, he’s being a “typical American”. When another national from elsewhere commits the same act, it’s justified.
—>When an American bashes his own country’s politics, they’re just doing it to be “cool” or “hip”. When another national from elsewhere complains about their government, it’s about someone complaining about their government.
—>If the American government commits an atrocity, the American citizens conspired to do it. If another government commits an atrocity, the Americans must somehow be connected to it.
—>If a white man commits a crime in the US, he’s a “typical American”. If an African AMERICAN commits a crime in the US, it’s a White Anglo Saxon Protestant conspiracy.
—>If an American resorts to French-bashing, it’s racism. If an Englishman resorts to French-bashing, well, there’s gotta be a good reason for it.
—>If an American believes in God, it’s a part of the dumbing down of America. If a national from elsewhere believes in say, “Allah”, well, it’s just “their culture”.
—>If an American is fat, it’s due to the “all-American-diet”. If a national from elsewhere is fat, it’s a sign that they have fallen victim to American oppression by way of American Globalization, and one should have sympathy for the poor soul.
—>If an American watches TV, they’re being a “typical American”. If a national from elsewhere watches TV, the blind folds are down, the curtains are shut tight —- it’s a HUGE secret. HUGE! Oh scandalous!! Shhhh…..
—>If an American rebuts an argument, it’s due to “blind nationalism”. If a national from elsewhere rebuts an argument, they are just rebutting an argument.
—>The American involvement in WWII was considered late, sloppy, and self-serving. The British involvement in WWII was considered, however, a humanitarian effort that was dealt with right away.
—>The start of Vietnam and the Iraqi war were typical American self-serving pieces of “genocide”. The start of WWI and WWII however were wars begun out of necessity!
—>If an American complains about an aspect of a foreign country, they hate EVERYTHING about that country and its people. If a national from elsewhere complains about an aspect of a foreign country, they are just complaining about that ONE aspect of that foreign country.
—>If an American creates a website critical of the American government and Americanophobia, he’s an “America-hating-blind-nationalist”. If a national from elsewhere commits a similar crime, he’s “a blogger”.
—> Because his cabinet members are Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Michael Jackson, William Ayers, Tony Rezco, 50 Cent, David Letterman, Snoop Dogg, Tyrone J. Watermelon III, Ayatollah Homani, Jeremiah Wright, the entire Clinton administration including their family and pets, Eminem, Momar Quadafi, Ahmir-Khalib Thompson, Osama Bin Laden, Sadaam Hussein, Karim Alduljibar, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Keith Olbermann, Magic Johnson, the Hamas, Mohamed Atta, Fayez Rashid Ahmed Hassan Al Qadi Banihammad, Ahmed Ibrahim A. Al Haznawi, Khalid Mohammad Hussein Karim Almihdhar and Kobe Bryant.
—> Because he doesn’t wear the American flag pin.
—> Because he doesn’t put his hand on his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance.
—> Because he went to flight school but didn’t bother to learn how to land the plane.
—> Because he didn’t fight in a war like Bush, Cheney and Palin did.
—> Because he has low testosterone levels.
—> Because he’s an Arab Muslim born in Kenya.
—> Because Obama and Osama are the same person except that Obama doesn’t have a beard (due to low testosterone levels).
—> Because Obama hates America.
—> Because his mom’s not his real mom.
—> Because he doesn’t work out.
—> Because he goes to Starbucks.
—> Because he supports NAMBLA, kiddie porn, bestiality, and sex under the age of 5.
—> Because he has a low sperm count.
—> Because he’s too fat (it’s the munchies from all the Mary Jane!)
—> Because he hasn’t changed anything since he’s become president.
—> Because he has man boobs.
—> Because he thinks he’s sum celebrity messiah or sumfn’.
—> Because he a communist Gestapo agent.
—> Because he doesn’t hunt.
—> Because he hunts babies and eats them afterwards.
—> Because he doesn’t have a job and is living off welfare.
—> Because he hasn’t changed anything.
—> Because he uses a Macintosh.
—> Because he doesn’t shave his pubic hair.
—> Because those kids aren’t really his.
—> Because his elected cabinet members are experienced.
Alrightly folks, 28 more days (from today) of Bush in the White House, there are. Still got some pent up rage left? Wanna take it out on the RIGHT person who tore America to shreds the last eight years?
Just click the picture below, and have you some fun before you start baking those Christmas cookies.
“Propaganda is a concerted set of messages aimed at influencing the opinions or behaviors of large numbers of people. As opposed to impartially providing information, propaganda in its most basic sense presents information in order to influence its audience. Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or gives loaded messages in order to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the cognitive narrative of the subject in the target audience to further a political agenda.
Propaganda is the deliberate, systematic attempt to shape perceptions, manipulate cognitions, and direct behavior to achieve a response that furthers the desired intent of the propagandist.
—Garth S. Jowett and Victoria O’Donnell, Propaganda and Persuasion”
Here are some tips for those amateurs out there that are looking for more sheeple to join their cause.
Find a large city or crowded area anywhere in the states
Be prepared to be on your feet for a long time
Interview *willing* Americans (Legally, I believe one must ask permission of those videoed if it’s okay to broadcast their humiliating bloopers to the world electronically)
Ask simple questions to make the dumb Americans look dumber when they make a mistake.
Ask tough questions like what is the location and capital of Olowitchawawa on the map when you start getting desperate.
Pay people to say and do stupid things if you’re getting more desperate.
Interview 200.
Pick 20 dim bulbs.
Post it on Youtube, Facebook, Bebo, Myspace, your blog, and mass-email it as well.
Send it to all of your friends on Youtube and encourage them to place it in the center of their main page.
If a random American says, “Hey that’s not fair, you interviewed 200 and cherry-picked the dumb ones to represent the US….bla bla bla I could do that to you too bla bla bla”, just call them a “blind nationalist”.
And PRESTO!
Your work is done.
You have successfully convinced other like-minded zombies who, in return, will tell their zombie friends and let that video cycle about the internet for decades to come.
A Right-wing Indian fringe group that finds my blog very offensive decided to forge my name on a comment that I didn’t make as revenge for posting their hate mail publicly on my blog, I am guessing. Some phrases were made by me in this post. The authors of the offending blog decided to copy and paste some of my words (out of order) and mix them up with someone else’s combined with some Valley-girl lingo.
Here’s the finished product. (Click the below to get to the source.)
I had to laugh at the ending, though, as Zontar had posted that in his comment reacting to the hate mail that I had received.
They have access to a thesaurus and a keyboard. What a feat!!!!
Who cannot laugh at the silliness of all this?
UPDATE:
The latest from Aby the “Liberal” and co.:
Once again, quoting things that I did not say. It’s not really that HUGE of a deal as those people that already know me know that I don’t talk like that. And people who don’t know me? Bring it on! They can just come here and read my site to find out for themselves.
Still laughing at the silliness!
UPDATE 2!
If that wasn’t hilarious enough, I took a screen shot of her commenting back to herself!

UPDATE 3!
Here is Aby’s latest instalment in her “testimonials” area of her blog (which is updated depending on her mood):

If amusing people means challenging back with facts, then yeah… my blog is one hellavan amusement park. And will continue to be that way.
UPDATE 4!
Yet, another desperado instalment from my good ole friends next door – except this time, they’ve dragged their criminal acts of forgery to an online message board dedicated to ME! I am so a celeb!!!!!!!!!

In case you’re confused, Aby’s “partner in crime” goes under the following names:
- Captain Sasha
- Sasha
- Captain V
- Juan McDaniel
- Captain (Dr.) Alexandr Vasilevski
- Karmen
- Amy
- Bridgette
and god knows what else.
I’ve met a lot of cooky Americanophobes in my time, but Juan McDaniel undoubtfully gets to wear the crown!
Bill O’Reilly’s viewers are dumber than Jon Stewart’s.
Liberals wish. Democrats like to think that voters who sympathize with their views are smarter than those who vote Republican. But a 2007 Pew survey found that the knowledge level of viewers of the right-wing, blustery “The O’Reilly Factor” and the left-wing, snarky “The Daily Show” is comparable, with about 54 percent of the shows’ politicized viewers scoring in the “high knowledge” category.
So what about conservative talk-radio titan Rush Limbaugh’s audience? Surely the ditto-heads are dumb, right? Actually, according to a survey by the Annenberg Public Policy Center, Rush’s listeners are better educated and “more knowledgeable about politics and social issues” than the average voter.
Wait. Just a minute there. I have a problem with this. Republicans who are reading this article (with goo goo eyes thinking they’ve scored another point against the Obamabots) that has been spread wildly about the internet are getting the false impression that Liberals only watch Liberal media and comedy shows, and that Conservatives only watch Conservative pundits and the non-existing Conservative comedy programs (although SNL can take some pretty hilarious diggs at the Libs…).
I watch Bill O’Reilly (he’s really a Liberal, anyway), Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter (she’s so magnetic!), and so do many other Liberals. I also listen to Mike Gallagher, Michael Medved, and Jim Bohannan on Republican talk radio. Many conservatives also watch Leftist comedy on Comedy Central and on other networks: The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, SNL, Mad TV and what have you? I cannot imagine that my friends, family and I are the only ones who listen to shows “out of their politosphere” in the media. It just can’t be a coincidence.
Republican talk radio is very refreshing and entertaining to get alternative views even if I don’t agree with them. The callers are interesting too. And some conservatives listen to Liberal news to have something to talk about in their blogs. Sometimes we just love to watch what we HATE to listen to. I don’t know the psychology behind that. But we do this! (Micheal Medved, however, can get pretty nauseating with his inane pollyannistic view of the world).
Anyway, with that said, I take that article with a grain of salt – especially since it’s from ***gasps*** THE LIBERAL MEDIA! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah, you Republicans = Fail.
My advice to my friendly neocon readers:Stop watching our fucking funny as hell comedy and tree-hugging pundits. You are polluting our brain pool!!!
Vancouver — Your editorial board expresses guarded admiration for Barack Obama and his promises for “change.”
Now, imagine a political candidate who voted to renew the Patriot Act and fund the Iraq war, backed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Reform Act, courted the Israeli lobby, supported the death penalty, refused to champion universal, single-payer not-for-profit health care for all Americans, called to increase troop levels and expand the war in Afghanistan, failed to call for a reduction in defence spending, and lobbied (and voted for) the taxpayer swindle known as the Wall Street bailout.
This candidate sabre-rattled at Iran, promised to roll back “Russian aggression” and to extend treaty protection to a Georgian regime that cluster-bombed its own people, advocated for military strikes in Pakistan, opposed same-sex marriage, and favoured extending the death penalty.
The candidate’s name and party? Not John McCain, not Republican, but Barack Obama and Democrat. So, what exactly does Mr. Obama mean when he talks of “change”?
See, my fellow Republican prisoners? Quit whining. That’s for liberals. We acornvoterfrauded a Republican in for yah with the help of the Euroweenies. Obama Mohammed Hussein Biden Laden —>as Far-Right-Wing as they come! You betcha, Joe! No worries. You should be happy that Bush won his 3rd term.
In fact, I am almost sorry that he has won to be honest. The deception awaiting the world is going to be immense, and ironically Obama, more so than Bush will open the world’s eyes to the true workings of the American government.
More right-wing than Bush? See fellow Republicans? I tell you. You have nothing to worry about. Dubyabama will go on continuing Bush’s Neo-Conservative-Neo-Capitalist-Illegal-War-Mongering-Unilateral-All-American policies that make you hot and bothered. Now, go celebrate and feast on some McCain Smiles.
…asks hurt and offended Sarah Palin regarding the questions that Katie Couric asked her. The reason why Ms. Palin dodged and danced around every question asked was (according to “Pro-American” Sarah Palin herself) because they were questions that “didn’t matter” and because she felt threatened by the “liberal media”. Regarding the question, “What newspapers do you read?“: She then goes on saying that if she named a certain newspaper that she read, that she’d be mocked for that. The “straight talker” also blamed her inability to answer any questions based on the fact that she is not a part of the “Washington Elite”.
Sarah Palin is very sensitive to criticism.
Sarah Palin says her faith has been mocked by the media. Awww….. Won’t anyone give that poor woman a break?
But hey. Hold it right there, Ms. Palin, while you tell the whole world that the “gotcha journalism” just gotcha: Aren’t you the same person who told Hillary Clinton to get a grip and stop whining about the criticism that revolved around her?
If you want to talk about “flip-flopping” on the issues, one must try this for size:
How about this quote from 2007?
Nor is it snobbish, let alone sexist, to express doubts about someone who, as late as March 2007, could tell Alaska Business Monthly, “I’ve been so focused on state government, I haven’t really focused much on the war in Iraq. I heard on the news about the new deployments, and while I support our president, Condoleezza Rice and the administration, I want to know that we have an exit plan in place.” This statement deserves to be called mindless, because, first, it is made up of stale and received and overheard bits and bobs from everyday media babble and, second, because you cannot really coherently say that you support both the administration and an “exit plan.”
Ya gotta love her.
Read more Scarahpalinisms here. Oh wait. It’s from the “liberal media”, so it’s all a lie.
And ya gotta love the GOP. Every time something doesn’t go just their way, they blame it on the “liberal media”. Hey, it’s a great scapegoat!
By the way, aren’t the Neo-conservatives supposed to be the party of “personal responsibility”? Hmm…
On a lighter note, this is the funniest damn piece of comedy that I’ve seen in a long time: (See it in full screen here.)
Note to readers:By my mere mentioning of the horrible GOPtarded ways, I am also secretly implying that all-things-liberal are the best ever, have a shiny clean record, never lie, never twist, and are the most righteous on the planet.
I am no longer a typical, nationalistic, paranoid, arrogant, fat, lazy, vulgar, greedy, racist, spoiled-rich, slutty, ignorant, stupid, humorless, loud, obnoxious, gum-chewing, carbon-emitting, baby-killing, gun-toting, bible-thumping, flag-waving, and self-centered Neanderthal American.
Please call me by my new nickname as I am now an…
intolerant liberal, secular jihadist, Hollywood parasite, Jew-hating, weenie, Nazi-appeasing-Hitler-apologist, hairy, smelly, tie-dye, tree-hugging, weed-smoking, homo-loving-marriage-destroying, lazy-welfare-mongering, acid-tripping, baby-killing, kool-aid-drinking, broccoli-granola-soy-tofu-eating vegan, treasonous, bra-burning, flag-burning, draftcard-burning, bleeding-heart, Jane-Fonda-loving and Charles Manson-admiring, constitution and freedom-hating, Anti-American incessant-whiner pinko commie A-rab-terrorist-sympathizer who has a hidden agenda to overthrow the American government and its people – especially those that are “accomplished females”.
So, because of my new nickname, well naturally, I’m voting for this one….
And based on the below video, it is now confirmed that I’m not a “real” ‘Merican.
But wait a second!! Isn’t she supposed to be one of us – yanno, the relateable REAL type of folksy-folk? You betcha. *wink* I mean, don’t we just adore her because she’s so real? *wink* She’s so in touch with the average “Joe 6-pack”. *wink* At least the way I see it, being real doesn’t equate with Photoshop.
And whining is a Liberal phenomenon, isn’t it?
Are you listening to me, you NATION OF WHINERS?!?!
(Psst… If this makes you depressed, well…. there’s always a Palin cookie you can eat.)
Canadians have more sex, have multiple partners, are planet-friendly lovers, are more adventurous in bed, don’t have to go to jail for crimes committed and more!
After digging through the data, here’s what we found: the staid, underpaid Canadian is dead. Believe it or not, we now have more wealth than Americans, even though we work shorter hours. We drink more often, but we live longer and have fewer diseases. We have more sex, more sex partners and we’re more adventurous in bed, but we have fewer teen pregnancies and fewer sexually transmitted diseases. We spend more time with family and friends, and more time exploring the world. Even in crime we come out ahead: we’re just as prone to break the law, but when we do it, we don’t get shot. Most of the time, we don’t even go to jail.
Additionally, Canada is a way cool place if you like to smoke pot, but ……… BUT(!) if you have smoked pot in the US (which is considered a criminal offence in the Great White North) Canada doesn’t like that and they may not let you enter the country without a fight.
But the good news is that Canada, (just a few months ago) took their very first step toward national sovereignty for the first time since her birth, and now has her own porn channels with …. *ACTUAL CANADIANS* (yes I did say that – Canadians are on TV!) instead of those nationalistic, paranoid, arrogant, FAT, ugly, lazy, greedy, racist, spoiled-rich, prude, sexless, monogamy-obsessed, raunchy, cheesy, dirty, smelly, ignorant, stupid, humorless, loud, obnoxious, gum-chewing, carbon-emitting, baby-killing, gun-toting, bible-thumping, flag-waving, and self-centered neanderthal yanks from that cultural wasteland the the south. ———->
This makes me sick as I hear that men all over the country are pleasuring themselves every time Palin comes on the screen. I keep hearing that American lesbians are voting for her after they lost the other vagina Hillary. Wal-mart stretch pants, soccer, and hockey moms will now have someone to relate to and will vote for Palin.
In the last election, some voted for Bush because they wanted to have a beer with him. Now, they either want to pork Sarah Palin, or just feel that she’s so reeeeeeeeeeeeal and relateable because she’s so reeeeeeeeeeeeeal.
Are we looking for friends or cheap dates in the sack or a president/vp that will run the country RESPONSIBLY with your well-being in THEIR hands?
There’s E-Harmony.com, Match.com, the Christian Virgin Singles Network, and others out there designed for finding “relataebles”, reeeeeeeeeal people, beer buddies, friends with benefits, marriage partners both heterosexual and homosexual and trannies.
Dearest America, this is a PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION – *NOT* E-Harmony.Com or American Idol.
And he’s got it right. If you don’t want your children being made fun of for having two babies out of wedlock, don’t display them on to our TV screens!!!! Decent Americans want to see the candidates and hear about their issues both past and present. There is nothing more manipulative and irrelevant to see the candidates children flood the stage after a political event. And what’s even worse is when I hear some of my neo-con compatriots speak of how “perfect” Palin’s family is and how they all “get along so well” and the “most perfect relationship everrrrr”. Yes, I have heard this all too many times. How the hell do we define one’s intimate relationships based on a few appearances in Hollywood after political campaigns?
Americans, please vote. But for for the ISSUES not the personality!
According to a questionnaire I answered a while back on Facebook, I am only 38% American.
Not that I’m all that surprised. I’ve always been told from others that I don’t act “American” – whatever “acting American” is. Oh yeah. Wait. It’s a typical, inbred, insular, nationalistic, unfashionable, paranoid, arrogant, fat, lazy, vulgar, greedy, racist, spoiled-rich, slutty, ignorant, stupid, humorless, loud, obnoxious, gum-chewing, carbon-emitting, baby-killing, gun-toting, bible-thumping, flag-waving, and self-centered, globalizing, Neanderthal American addicted to McDonalds, right?
This is a video where we see Palin just a wee bit nervous. As they say in Texas, she’s all hat and no cattle. Just like W.
Where is that “STRAIGHT TALK EXPRESS”, hockey mom lipstick on pigs, moose, cows, wolves, pitbulls and all that “confidence” that should be emanating from Mizz Pro-Life fist-swinging, power-house, bravado tell-it-like-it-is Palin? Perhaps she needs another session with her witch doctor, witch hunter, witch healer or whatever you call him? Sarah Palin’s obvious restlessness during her last 3 interviews kinda reminds me of the way GWB furrows his brow and extends it 5 inches away from his face when he talks. Except, he doesn’t wear lipstick.
Granted making a fool out of yourself in public is bipartisan. But watching dirty-dealing Republicans getting caught red-handed and screaming mercy is much more entertaining.
I fell upon this paragraph in the blogosphere today.
Mitt Romney said it best in his speech at the Republican National Convention. Washington is broke. The U.S. Government has been under the control of Obama-style liberal elitists continually since the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt 75 years ago. It’s not that Democrats have always controlled the Presidency or Congress, but liberals have always been the vast majority of bureaucrats. This liberal majority has led the U.S. downhill to the point where mothers can no longer afford to stay home and raise their children properly, as they could easily do 75 years ago.
We’ve had Reagan, Bush 1 Sr. and then Bush II Jr. Let’s just cover those three for now. That is 20 years of having a Republican President and Vice President in office. Never in my life had I ever seen people as enthusiastic and defensive over a President as George W Bush Jr. And even Bush’s support abroad, (and it does exist) is FIERCE and unapproachable.
Oh, the conservatives DID complain about Bush every once in a while but mostly due to the Illegal Immigration problem in the US. Other than that, I’ve rarely heard a peep out of the Republicans.
BUT… now,… Washington is “broke”?
Do we really have a liberal majority? These people may not agree.
Look at all the Republican Presidents and Vice Presidents in office in rewind-mode. What do you think that Palin is going to do that Republicans in History haven’t? How will she nuke those liberal bureaucrats? And why have all the“true Republican Conservatives” been sitting there watching our Washington “break” since you were born?
Oh.. and Bush said “change” was needed back in 2004. Oh, yes he did. And that is what is so ironic.
If you don’t have the time to watch the entire video above, please start watching at 4:20 to see the ridiculousness in all this.
And what about those lobbyists, anyway?
In any event, I am fully aware that the Dems lie. But what about the Republicans? Are they as clean as a whistle as they are thought to be by their supporters? And, once again, how much power does a president have?
Due to my chatter about Americanophobia on this blog, when I mention the “Far Left”, I’m talking about the Far Left in Canada and Europe (naturally some can apply to Americans). The “Far Right” will be the Americans. (Obviously this doesn’t mean that all Americans are “Far Right” and all Europeans and Canadians are from the “Far Left” – I’m just mocking the extremists!)
Let’s begin!!
—> They both think their country is the mmm bestest in the worldest.
–> Sports is less about entertainment for these people and MORE about Patriotism.
—> They both have an outstanding lack of intellectual curiosity.
—> They both believe that Obama was only elected president because he was black.
—> They are both overly obsessed with politics. It’s all they think about, it’s all they do, it’s all they watch, it’s all they read. They live it, breathe it, milk it, and feed it.
—> They are both against porn and those who look at it.
—> They are both against swear words and look down on those who use them.
—> They both feel morally superior and above others. (Self-righteousness is a good word!)
—> They don’t travel. If they DO, it’s only because they HAVE to.
—> They both think Bush won the 2000 election.
—> The far left call Bush “Hitler”. The far right call Obama “Hitler”.
—> Neither one of these groups have a sense of humor. They are the kind of people that you have to explain everything to, and they STILL don’t get it! They both have a tight ass. The concept of “having fun”, kicking back, enjoying life or a laugh is like a foreign language to them. The Right is wondering why you’re not taking the Muslim terrorists seriously enough, and the Left is wondering why you’re not taking the starving S. Africans seriously enough.
—> They are both THE most intolerant and xenophobic people on earth.
—> They are both very preachy.
—> They are both boring to be with.
—> They are both very closed-minded (OKA “mentally constipated”) to any dissent, new ideas, and other possibilities. Their minds are made up for life. All researched information are those ideologies that entertain their own belief system. All contrary ideologies and dissent is purposefully misunderstood and twisted brilliantly to suit their own ongoing agendas.
—> They are both obsessed with food. The Right eat too much and the Left starve themselves.
—> While they can be admired for their political activism, they both tend to protest violently and resort to destroying property and symbols as well.
—> They both have very bad tempers, but they both exercise so much constraint that people on the other end of the conversation/text will admire them for their “stoic response”.
—> They will unashamedly accuse other people of doing the very things they have perfected themselves. With that said, they are well known for being the most hypocritical people.
—> They pretend to care about others when, in fact, all they’re concerned about is their agenda.
—> They are both religious fanatics. The Right believe that Christian Fundamentalism is the “religion of peace” whereas the Left believe that Islamic Fundamentalism is the “religion of peace”. – (Yes, even if they’re not Islamic themselves!)
—> They both believe in the most hypocritical version of the word, “peace”.
—> They both hate cigarette smokers — I mean really hate them.
—> They are both technophobes. They just get by on the basics, but frown on anything that is or appears complicated. For example, both of these groups hate iPods and iPod users. They would also never know how to take care of their computer by themselves in the most basic ways should they have technical problems.
—> They are both very grumpy, whiny and pessimistic.
—> They are both the PC Police and the Grammar/Spelling Police of the world (unless, of course, you’re on their team). With that said, they get offended VERY easily over the pettiest of things. Even the word, “fart” causes them to run and take a shower.
—> They both don’t believe in the separation of Church and State. The Right support Christian Politics and the Left support Islamic Politics even if they’re not Islamic themselves!!
—> Neither one of them believe in Personal Responsibility and blame other groups for all of their problems and life failures.
—> Both are gay. It’s just that the Right are still in the closet.
—> They are both seduced by power and like to be told what to think and do.
—> They both H-A-T-E Hollywood with a passion and are vehemently *against* televisions and anything that resembles entertainment i.e. music, film, comedy, etc…
—> They both go out of their way to take away the freedoms of the opposing party.
—> They are both paranoid watch-dogs. The Right are watching the Muslims, and the Left are watching the Americans.
—> They both hate happy people.
—> They both hate me and my blog as I’m not a slave to either of the political wings.

—> They both need a little more of , , , some more of , much more of , and not to mention , and , and it couldn’t hurt to do more of , , and , and either!
—> And last but not least, both groups will be offended by this post.
Side Note to explain why:(I am currently running a survey asking both Americans and non-Americans about their perception of WWII to see how they equal up or differ, and at the same time learn from it. One of my British “friends” or survey recipients read so far into this email that he incorrectly concluded that I was yet another one of those “we saved your asses in WWII” yanks. He was so painfully wrong that even his wife sided with me and apologetically wrote me an email. Simply put, he misconstrued my questions as a vicious attack.)
He wrote several other foul things to me as well with being called “an American” as the most innocuous – nonetheless amusing. My friends who know me very well know that I’m a research-buff and never stop asking questions. With that, I call myself “clinically curious” sometimes being (in this case) “dangerously curious”. As an adult, intense curiosity is what happens later to Americans after having studied history in grade-school so preoccupied with dreamy thoughts of Big Macs and M-16’s – that we tend to forget that it was really the Canadians who saved everyone’s ass in WWII!
Confused, I went up and looked up the word, “Americanism” to see if it was a bad word.
Customs, traits, traditions, institutions, American English, allegiance….. ok! Next, I had to find out if I was “American” first as now I’ve learned it’s not a bad word and nothing to take offense over.
If I’m going to receive a compliment solely for having been born in the United States, I had to go and check to make sure I was definitely…. American because one is to assume Americans were born in the United States, right? Maybe.
From that point, I went scuffling for my birth certificate under a huge stack of old documents and paraphernalia buried in our attic ridden with cobwebs, Dr. Laura self-help books, WWII encyclopedias showing proof how “we saved everyone’s ass” and dust packed as high as my packed pistols… (I’ve got to really clean that place out!). After a few hours of sorting through one document after the next, I found that it said on my birth certificate that I was indeed born in the US!
Awesome!
But does simply being born here make me “American enough” to qualify for this honorable mention of being held accountable for “Americanism“?
I had to check one more thing. I needed more proof… just to be sure. Am I still living here or still American? I went for my passport, the bills that are sent to our home, my debit card, checked to see if my air-conditioner was running full-blast for no reason, etc…. I found out that I am, indeed, an American!
To be American is to be committing “Americanisms“. So, my little friend was right!
Upon further investigation, I also found out today the following:
To be Japanese is to be committing Japanesisms.
To be Russian is to be committing Russianisms.
To be Pakistani is to be committing Pakistanisms.
To be British is to be committing Britishisms.
To be Canadian is to be committing Canadianisms.
To be African is to be committing Africanisms.
To be French is to be committing Frenchisms.
To be Brazillian is to be committing Brazilianisms.
Cultural differences are accepted abroad (which is what divides us on some level), but Americans are expected to be like “everyone else”. That is what I am to assume as people get so surprised when they find me “acting American“. The last time I checked, Americans do act American because they are American. You’d think that would be obvious. But to be a bit more clear…
I am a typical, self-entitlement-oriented, inbred, insular, nationalistic, inherently violent, unfashionable, paranoid, arrogant, unsophisticated, fat, lazy, vulgar, greedy, racist, spoiled-rich, ignorant, stupid, humorless, loud, obnoxious, gum-chewing, carbon-emitting, baby-killing, gun-toting, bible-thumping, flag-waving, and self-centered, globalizing, uncouth, swearmouthed and boorish non-human Neanderthal American obsessed with sex, celebrities and McDonalds that demands the entire world revolve around herself!
Get over it! We’re all assholes. We invented assholes and assholisms. Don’t steal it. It’s our culture! And we won’t be done with our assholosity-atrocities and Americanisms until we’ve successfully destroyed the entire earth and it’s people. Please do not interrupt our mission.
Call me Zontar. You can find my blog here. Zontar welcomes all to click on his link, and I promise you will be sore amazed at the intelligence and wonder therein.
I was born many years ago on Xenon, a lovely planet in the Houyhnmian Galaxy, approximately 3000 trillion light years from planet Earth. I excelled in Dominoes as a youngster and was named top champion for all galaxies as a tot. I grew up into a beautiful young alien and married 34,223 beautiful wives, all of whom are extremely fertile and blessed me with 158,233 children.
I wrote this at the request of my wife. I would like to share my experiences in your country, that you call “America”. If you dislike my comments, please respond to this post and Zontar will make every effort to take vengeance on the foolish mortal who dares to imply that Zontar is anything less than a God!!!
Please allow Zontar to introduce his magnificent self before I expound on my experiences in your country. Zontar is a highly complex, highly intelligent being, and does not expect ignorant mortals to comprehend his multifaceted and superior intellect. Therefore, I have pend the following missive in order to explain the way of God to man. I don’t expect you to understand all of it. All I expect is that you accept it fully and believe that Zontar is the supreme being of the whole universe. Hail Zontar!
Dear Earth Humans,
I thought you might like to know a few things about Zontar.
1. Zontar loves to eat glabrob in all forms, whether animal, vegetable, mineral or fecal.
2. Zontar does not understand your aversion to cockroaches. He loves cockroaches, especially the flying type. They are excellent company when you are down and need a shoulder to cry on. I feel that if you understood their language, you would also love them. How would you feel if every time you saw someone, they recoiled in disgust and horror?
3. Zontar likes long walks on the beach.
4. Zontar likes candlelight dinners.
5. Zontar likes eating pussy cats.
6. Zontar became lord of all universes at tender age of 17 when the former lord of universe was sent to prison for exposing himself to a convent full of nuns.

Was it like you expected when you came to America?
Zontar was sore amazed when he first trod the shores of your so called “United States of America”. It was not what Zontar expected at all. Zontar was expecting to see a Utopian paradise of democracy and freedom. Instead he saw poverty, crime, ignorance and racial tension. Then I turned on your television and I saw a moronic simpleton who could barely said anything intelligible at all. When I learned he was your leader, the so called “W”, Zontar was in a state of linguar receptivity. Zontar kicked himself in the posterior region for coming here. On Xenon, we all live peacefully, eat well and have a wise and munificent leader. Zontar was very sad. Zontar was so depressed that he went to the Great White Northern neighbors of Canada and saw the same situations as was occurring in the United States, only its citizens were as obnoxious and ignorant. Zontar decided to go back to the United States as he had run out of options.
What made you come here?
Zontar was forced by the exigencies of circumstance to flee his beloved home planet Xenon, United Confederation of Xenon (located in the 499,735 of the olfactory galaxy, approximately 2,333,444,222,555 trillion light years away from earth). Zontar had great status in his previous life on Xenon. Zontar was most trusted advisor to our beloved ruler, Pubicus. Zontar made a grave error in eating the wrong set of victuals for his midday repast. He feasted on filet of glabrob (the national dish of Xenon), washed it down with fermented glabrob urine (very similar to your beer) and hard boiled glabrob eggs. The resulting effect from this delicious meal was an unfortunate need to expunge gas from my anal orifice (known as farting in your country). To my great distress, while in conference with Pubicus I emitted an extremely foul odor which had the effect of debilitating our beloved leader, Pubicus. He thought I had done it deliberately and I was condemned for the perceived attempted murder of Pubicus. Zontar was sore afraid and transported himself to his spaceship before the sentence could be carried out. Zontar set his target to the United States as he had witnessed several episodes of Earth television program “The Brady Bunch”. Zontar wanted to dwell in the same country as these delightful, humorous and kind people as depicted on this delightful show. Zontar’s heart was torn asunder by the knowledge that he had to leave his favorite wife, Chlymidia, but Zontar had no choice. Zontar set his spaceship towards Earth and left his beloved home, never to return again.
How are you treated by other Americans?
Zontar was treated with some puzzlement by his new found countrymen as he soon discovered there were some differences between him and humans. First, Xenonians have multiple sets of eyes while humans have only two. Also Xenonians possess no genitalia as all necessary sexual organs needed for reproduction float in the air. Zontar was mocked and ridiculed for these differences. Zontar has great temper and roasted the miscreants who dared show disrespect for Zontar into so much dust. Zontar was arrested and put into an American prison for the crime of murder. There Zontar met many delightful friends who indulged in many amusing games, my favorite being inter-anal seminal exchange. When Zontar was claimed as the bitch of his erstwhile friend Bubba, Zontar was forced to transport himself out of this prison.
How do you compare the US to your own country?
Xenon and the United States are vastly different. Your politicians are small minded, greedy and corrupt, while Xenonian leaders are wise and kind. The food here is terrible. On Xenon one could feast on many delicacies, whereas in the United States Zontar was forced to eat from the dollar menu at Mcdonalds, causing him severe gastric distress.
Your legal status?
Zontar is an illegal alien.
Why do you want to live here permanently?
Zontar has no choice but to stay. As mentioned above it is impossible to return to his homeland. Zontar did visit Canada with the intention of living there permanently, but found the same problems there as in the United States, only some Canadians thought they were better than the Americans. Their arrogant attitude angered Zontar greatly and he murdered one unfortunate hooser by stuffing 20 pounds of beef jerky down his throat.
Your likes and dislikes?
Zontar like pussy cats. Zontar like Glabrob. Zontar like cigarettes. Zontar likes Jamaican meat pies.
Zontar does not dislike anything. Zontar is kind, wise and hyper-intelligent. Able to see good in all things.
Your occupation or area of study?
Zontar is currently assistant night manager at Dairy Queen and…. more here.
Your age?
Zontar is 120,334,553,222 years young.
How long have you lived here?
Zontar moved to Earth in year 2001.
What is your advice to those wanting to live here or immigrate her permanently?
Visit Zontar and pay him homage and obedience! Zontar will repay you with many kindnesses. HaIl Xenon! Hail Zontar!
I mean, c’mon. If you’re going to hate America, at least do it properly. If you’re still an amateur at it, watch this video for some some tips from an expert.
I get lost every now and then with the latest in “slanguage” (if you will), and am finding myself looking up the new slang on the Urban Dictionary website. I am either in stitches laughing my ass off or am horrified at what I’m reading. So, here I was looking up another word when I came across the tag for the definition of ‘myspace’. It is a must-read for all of those who are familiar with “the scene”.
Here’s one definition that caught my eye:
Myspace is the ultimate game of testing your ego. It becomes a competition of seeing who has the most friends, so you add everyone you’ve made eye contact with in the past 6 years, constantly posting bulletins telling people to comment on your NEW PICZ PLZ or die. Also a way for every garage band ever to make a Myspace Music profile without even have talent and/or experience as other bands have. Also a new place for every hott girl in the world to prove how slutty they are by making a Myspace and putting pictures of themselve’s where they only have 1/5 of their clothes on with the quote under it “I used photoshop to cover my boobs, So What.”
Comment on my myspace plz LOL! (Written by Brett)
I plead guilty in trying to look up all those whom I’ve befriended since elementary school.
I also plead guilty to getting my cheap thrills when I see this:
Allie had something interesting to contribute as well:
Myspace is an absolutely pointless “networking tool” that high school students overuse in an attempt to gain and then flaunt popularity. A potentially useful dating/networking tool for adults gone awry because it became a contest to see who could get the most “friends” added… (and by friends I mean other insecure teenagers adding you back in order to increase THEIR OWN friends count). An addiction where you must sign on every .3232134 seconds to see if anyone posted a comment, sent you a message, or put up a bulletin (to tell them to check out their new “hawt sexy pics!” a horrible pixelated shot of an underdeveloped highschool freshman in their underwear trying their best to make a seductive face)
Add me on myspace so my popularity can soar!
I do like the numbers, but I am happy with the small cozy count of friends I have. But even more than the numbers themselves, they are people whom I’ve either met online or in real life. I don’t really like email that much, and I’m not all into instant messaging (although I have IM available for those special occasions). For me, myspace is a fun way to stay in contact with those I’ve befriended and have made me smile. Being that I work at home, I don’t have much human contact with others outside my husband and family, so myspace seems to fill that gap for me. I love to meet new people and having friends are very important for me and for my sanity.
Here’s another definition I found funny by deathsymphony.
1. The ultimate contest of seeing how many friends you could have without seeing any of them.
2. A place for people who have no lives to post comments about their new pics in their “friend’s” myspace.
3. A place where loners get semi-celebs.
Ex 1:
Person 1: OMG i have 200 friends on myspace.
Person 2: LOLZ i have 300 friends, loser.
Ex 2:
Person X: i love ur new pix! u better post a comment on my myspace also!
Myspace is an online website for making ‘friends’, and over 70% people up there will have the following things in their profiles:
1. has ’tila tequila’ as their friend
2. the music they like include: my chemical romance, the used, green day, killers, or kottonmouth kings
3. they all hate drama and fake people
4. have a music video playing on their page
5. your computer is more likely to freeze when log on people’s pages if you have an older model due to the over-decoration.
6. we will see this “This profile was edited with Thomas’ myspace editor” somewhere in their profile.
Need an “ice-breaker” or a “pick up line”? Thanks again to Annie for this:
“Aren’t we friends on Myspace?”
“Haven’t I seen you around Myspace before?”
“Your Myspace pictures look HOT…lets fuck”
“Oh my god I was flossing my teeth this morning and I just couldn’t figure out what it was I pulled out from between my teeth and gums, is chicken? It couldn’t be chicken, I don’t eat meat, maybe it’s tofu? I showed it to my roommate and she thought it was cheese, then I remembered I had baked bread and brie last night, so that must be it. Then I thought wow I better run to my computer and blog about this experience on myspace.”
If any of you have any interesting things to share related to this entry, please don’t hold back.
Book Description
This full-color illustrated book is a fun way for parents to teach young children the valuable lessons of conservatism. Written in simple text, readers can follow along with Tommy and Lou as they open a lemonade stand to earn money for a swing set. But when liberals start demanding that Tommy and Lou pay half their money in taxes, take down their picture of Jesus, and serve broccoli with every glass of lemonade, the young brothers experience the downside to living in Liberaland.
From the Publisher
Would you let your child read blatantly liberal stories with titles such as “King & King,” “No, George, No,” or “It’s Just a Plant”? …
While I did find the description of this new book to be humorous, I also find it to be doing more harm than good to children because it’s not coaching them to think or reason; it’s coaching them to follow like wussies.
Is this not teaching hate and intolerance regarding the viewpoints and opinions of others? Is this not teaching stereotypes and gross exaggerations? Is this not teaching Liberal Extremism and not what a True Liberal is all about?
Is this what America’s supposed to be all about: Contributing more to the division of hate between the political parties? Is this what God wants?
I was right all along. A lot of the stubborn/extremist opinions that people have are based on this concept: “Mommy and Daddy told me so”. For more information on the “Mommy and Daddy told me so” syndrome, read the “Appeal to Authority” section of my entry, “Logical Fallacies”.
Now that I’ve wiped the tears from my eyes from laughing so much, with my re-gained composure, let me share with you the latest Google searches from my visitors that have appeared on my Sitemeter.
I could not resist posting these. In fact, I will try to make a habit out of doing this. I need a good laugh every once in a while.

Ever wanted to become a trashy internet cam whore, but you just don’t know how? Tired of earning money for things the honest way? If you’re shameless and conceited enough, then the exciting world of online prostitution may be for you. It’s hard at first, but don’t get discouraged. Being a cranky bitch and undressing yourself in front of a cam for middle-aged men isn’t as easy as it seems, so here are five simple rules to keep in mind when becoming an internet cam whore…
Although this was written to be a joke, the author of the above website humorously defines these trashy sluts to a tee.
Have you ever wondered how those Japanese people use their toilets? It was quite a big mystery to me when I went lived in Japan at first! Let me just tell you this. I had been using those damn things bass ackwards for several months until I figured out the trick! —>Please click this link to view the tutorial on how to use a Japanese toilet<—
This is a pay toilet. It costs 100 yen (about 1$).
I think it is too expensive to use it.
But it smells good. It is very clean and very large.
It is larger than the bathroom at my home.
Shimbashi Station(Yurikamome line)
It is rare for a toilet to be this clean in a Tokyo station. There is no smell,no dirt and a lot of toilet paper.There are both Japanese style toilets and Western style toilets.
Yurikamome line is not always crowded and the restrooms there are clean too.
Hamamatsu cho Station(JR yamate line)
This toilet is simple and clean. I think this toilet is a little known hot spot.
It is rare for a toilet to be this clean on the Yamate Line.
This is toilet in a Pachinko shop.(Pachinko is like a mixture of pin ball and slot machines)
This toilet is like a toilet in a hotel and with “Washlet”. Washlet is
the machine that automatically wash your “you know whats” after doing your business.
I can’t tell you how rare it is to find a clean toilet at a train station in or around Tokyo.
Now, let’s take a peek at what these toilets REALLY look like. (Well, most of the time.)
Tabata Station(JR yamate line)
This toilet is down the stairs to a platform in a lawless zone.
There was poopie outside of this bowl and the worst smell. Help me!
After taking this picture I felt nauseated.
Shinjuku Station(Subway Marunouchi line)
This toilet is famous. Because the Aum put sarin here.
Door of toilet is broken and cannot close. Floor of toilet is very wet. This toilet is not only dirty but poisonous. It is hard to smell whether it’s shit or sarin.
(By the way, I had to edit some of the English in these descriptions as I believe the original author was a Japanese.)
But, are you kidding me??? This is nothing compared to what I had seen in the ladies room!!! Nothing! The men’s little toilets are a Martha Stewart collection compared to the ladies toilets. In fact, if there were pictures of the ladies toilets in Japan on a website, I sure wouldn’t be able to post them here! I’d have to submit them to either Rotten Dot Com or to Funky Fresh Freddie’s blog.
But I’m not surprised. I’ve spoken to men. Ladies public restrooms are BY FAR THE MOST NOTORIOUS FOR BEING THE MOST DISGUSTING ON THE PLANET. Why? The homes of most women are very neat no matter what country you live in. They are pressured by society to keep their homes a certain way, so when they DO use a public toilet, they let all their hatred out by way of being inconsiderate to the next person that may be using the toilet after them. They can only keep their “Martha Stewart” facade up so long. Public restrooms are their only outlet to say “Fuck it. I’m doing what ‘I’ want!”.
As for me, I’m a slob. So, when I use public bathrooms, I’m very neat and tidy and carefully consider the feelings of the person coming after me. I think more people should be slobs at home!
And of course one for the boys. They need it more. Mommy not only didn’t breast feed them, but often ignored their cries for attention.
And most importantly, diapers! You know how these people get during a temper tantrum. You know how panties get all knotted up in a ball from the inability to control the bladder, right? Well, these diapers will absorb the ferocious leakage and don’t knot up during their, “WAAAAA WHAT ABOUT ME” fits of spasms in response to neglect.
For the good of your of your own dental hygiene, I recommend to avoid sucking the thumb after your tantrums. That bends your teeth out of shape.
A group of nudists eat together at a monthly ‘Clothing Optional Dinner’ at a New York City restaurant, Feb. 17, 2005. About 30 people arrived for the buffet dinner — no hot soup on the menu — most of them middle-aged, several married couples, some singles, the youngest perhaps in their 30s. Diners must bring something to sit on — a towel or, for discerning women, an elegant silk scarf.
(Berlin-AP, Oct. 30, 2003 6:30 PM) _ What started as a joke about nude karaoke has become a lawsuit.
Bristol Station Cafe owner Marty Saint Pierre says he was just kidding when he advertised such an event in front of his bar. Then he got volunteers. Lots of them.
The planned event struck a sour note with the establishment’s neighbors, who called Town Hall to complain. Soon, Saint Pierre got a visit from town authorities, who said he could face fines or arrest if he operated the naked musical performance without a permit.
The dispute is now the subject of a lawsuit challenging a town ordinance on sexually oriented businesses. Berlin does not outlaw such businesses, but they are required to have permits and meet certain zoning requirements.
Without a permit, a sexually oriented business can face a fine of up to $100 and an arrest on misdemeanor charges. The lawsuit contends the penalties are harsher than towns are allowed to enforce under state law.
Whoa! I thought Europeans were less uptight than that?! Maybe because it’s Germany? I really don’t know. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t care where people go and what people do in the nude. That’s their prerogative! A nude body (even if overweight) never terrified me.
The below is me at Karaoke with my clothes on. The man on the left is my former Japanese boyfriend. (Because of stalkers, I have my face covered).
Heck, people think I’m strange for having bathed nude in public in Japan. The first time, it was very hard for me because I can be very self-conscious about my body in front of everyone but my husband. However, after having gotten used to it, I started to appreciate my body. I was no longer embarrassed, and didn’t care what anyone thought about it. There were two things that bothered me, however. A couple times in a public bath (because I was a foreigner in Japan), a woman touched my breasts and said, “WOWWWW!”. She continued, “it’s no wonder you have stiff shoulders!” Heh.
And there was one woman who constantly stared at me. I can handle people “looking” at me, but I got very irritated when one would stare blankly for minutes. Gawd! You see, the Japanese DO have manners, but they don’t apply to foreigners.
Other than that, my seven year experience bathing publicly was a positive experience, and one that I will never forget. In fact, that’s one of the many things I miss terribly about being in that country. You haven’t felt relaxation until you’ve bathed traditionally in Japan (even if not in public).
So, take ‘em off and relax a bit, eh? I could name a couple people who need to simma.

First off, I go out of my way to give credit for everything I post on my site. Everything that you see here, I’ve either purchased myself or in the event that I didn’t purchase the rights to what I own, I have properly given credit to the author.
As for the video I uploaded, I gave proper credit to the authors by my linking to them. I own that video. And I’ve purchased it myself.
I don’t do P2P. I haven’t “stolen” anything. I took the video down because after the response I got, I could see where others could grab that video off me illegally. That is where I see a problem could arise. I wasn’t thinking about it when I posted it. And if I was in the wrong for doing that, then I’m guilty as charged and I admit my wrong-doing.
I’m an artist myself (if you look at the photos on my sidebar). I even have a copyright statement there. As a photographer, it’s in my least bit of interest to “steal” from others.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, he/she is forwarding my page to the proper people? LOL.
Gayle, thank you very much for the below comment you posted in my blog:
WOW! What a nasty person! Perhaps you could have said this with less jealousy or hate in your tone and maybe the author does not know all the in and outs yet. Did you maybe ask first or give suggestions or is that too mature for you? ((
It’s people like you that make blogging worth my time.
Yes, there are ways to point out someone is doing something wrong. This “person” obviously has no class.
I understand what’s going on today and am carrying the tradition of my ancestors: I am still opposing the things that are wrong. I hope I can share some of these views and make a difference.
Some people are afraid of activism. I don’t know why they are. I’m guessing people have this picture in mind when they think about activists.
Here’s an example list I stole from Cao’s Blog of Conservative Bloggers who passionately support their political views and argue (like I do) relentlessly against the other side (the side that I’m *not* on):
They use images on their blogs to promote the beliefs they hold close to their heart.
Hear from the Republicans:
I agree that Liberals have a tendency of overstepping their boundaries when it comes to protesting or promoting their views, but not all Liberals agree with violent and chaotic protesting.
In essence, both Republicans and Democrats hold their beliefs intensely and sometimes ferociously. But bloggers come by and listen to our rants anyway.
However, the day may come that bloggers have to keep their opinions to themselves. Who knows?
Internet bloggers should enjoy traditional press freedoms and not face regulation as political groups, lawmakers and online journalists said Friday.
In separate letters, Democratic lawmakers and Internet commentators urged the Federal Election Commission to make sure that political Web sites that serve as focal points for political discussion, like Wonkette.com and Freerepublic.com, don’t have to comply with campaign-finance rules.
“Curtailing blogs and other online publications will dampen the impact of new voices in the political process and will do a disservice to the millions of voters who rely on the Web for original, insightful political commentary”, said the Online Coalition, a group of bloggers and online activists.
Fourteen members of the House of Representatives said blogs foster a welcome diversity of viewpoints.
“This ‘democratization’ of the media is a welcome development in this era of media consolidation and a corresponding lack of diversity of views in traditional media outlets”, said the group, which consists of thirteen Democrats and one Republican.
The FEC ruled in 2002 that Internet activities do not count as “coordinated political activity” and thus don’t have to comply with laws that regulate money in politics.
But a U.S. judge struck down that ruling as too broad last year, and the FEC is scheduled to consider it later this month.
If the FEC determines that online “blogs” are in fact political organizations, they could face fines if they work too closely with political campaigns by, for example, reprinting their press releases.

Evil Clown is very quick with a joke, but his jests always have a barb. He has little patience for in-depth discussions and will often disrupt exchanges between serious forum participants by introducing irrelevant topics, fatuous quips, and offhand comments. His greatest thrill is to taunt and humiliate weaker or more plodding Warriors with his snappy ripostes. Not a particularly powerful Warrior, Evil Clown will attempt to avoid defeat by accusing his attacker of having no sense of humor.
The excuse, “You don’t have a sense of humor!” or “You can’t take a joke???” has grown tired, has it not? My favorite response to that is, “A joke is supposed to be funny”. I believe most of us DO have a sense of humor, yet we are all different as to what is funny and what is not. When in doubt, one should know the person they are communicating with before introducing a joke that YOU know may potentially hurt that person. It’s common sense. In any event, I do strongly believe that those who want to make an insulting comment to another that out of fear of confrontation and the repercussions of said insult, cover themselves up with the cliché, “It was just a joke – lighten up!” if there is retaliation.
PAPD resistance to external demands is manifested in oppositional and obstructive behaviors. These individuals resent having to conform to the standards set by others. On the other hand, they fear direct confrontation. The combination of resentment and fear leads to passive, provocative behavior (Beck & Freeman, 1990, p. 333) and defiant compliance (Benjamin, 1994, p. 276).
Can you tell the truth?
Garble is a mystery: Is he a foreigner with only tenuous grasp of English? Is he on drugs? Does he suffer a serious mental debility? Is he typing wearing boxing gloves? Garble’s rampant typos, malapropisms and execrable grammar can’t be blamed solely on poor typing skills. Garble is all the more puzzling because if one manages to hack his way through the tangled muddle of his messages a discernable idea will often emerge. For example, in a forum discussion about a painting he might say, “Sorry the picchr the har is wrog. The culir. I liike the lips bot teh Paintng is sucs”. When someone refers to his random capitalization Garble might say something like, “oPS i HITTED THE CAPDLOCK”. Garble drives Grammarian and Nitpick absolutely nuts, but he disdains all efforts at correction, and if complaints persist he will indignantly sign exit saying, “yuor forum si stupef. bYE!” HINT: Garble may be Net Rat.
Hahahahahaha! I find the “Garble” very funny. Now, how could we take this type seriously?
Xenophobe is usually a long-term discussion forum participant and he thinks of the forum as his private compound. Xenophobe regards new forum arrivals as mentally deficient and perhaps even having criminal tendencies, and they are invariably approached with suspicion and condescension. Xenophobe will mount a furious attack if a Newbie has the temerity to make critical observations about the forum’s social dynamics, or questions its prevailing opinions.
It was a peaceful and productive forum; lively, congenial and a bounteous source of useful information. Then one day, completely without warning, Godzilla arose from the depths and blew his scalding breath on everything in his path. A phalanx of Warriors mobilized to attack the monster, only to be crushed like so many toy tanks under Godzilla’s mighty feet. Godzilla soon reduced the forum to searing and consuming flames. Just as abruptly, he rumbled back beneath the waves, leaving all to tremble in fear of his return. Net life would never be the same. Sadly, many netizens who survive a Godzilla attack will become Xenophobes.
Aaaaah. This one is too funny!
Grammarian usually has little to contribute to a discussion and possesses few effective weapons. To compensate, he will point out minor errors in spelling and grammar. Because of Grammarian’s obvious weakness most Warriors ignore him.
Every forum has one of these. Heh. When a “supreme being” doesn’t like what you have to say, your grammar and spelling mistakes will be pointed out and corrected. The fact is – is that these “Grammarians” cannot come up with an intelligent, logical response to your argument. They have nothing to say. Your grammar/spelling mistakes fill in the gap for what could be a clean and stimulating debate.
DO keep in mind, if this happens to you, be proud. This just means that YOU are right. If your argument was really wrong, these “Grammarians” would come up with more than resorting to attacking your petty typos.
Grunter always responds to discussion forum messages with a single word or a short phrase, and he NEVER edits quoted material. Profundus Maximus, Philosopher, Tireless Rebutter, and other verbose Warriors find Grunter a particularly exasperating opponent because he will answer their lengthy pontifications with a simple “Yeah!”. “Get a life.”, “Whatever”, “I agree.” “Wrong.”, etc. While Grunter is not a strong Warrior, he is very elusive and difficult to engage in direct battle, and only by his extended silence is there any indication that he has been vanquished.
Only a man, right? This gives validity to the expression, “less is more” because a lot of the times it is! Actually, I admire the type of person who can say everything with just a couple of words. I really wish that I could do that. But I’m the polar opposite and tend to be long-winded. And that’s the female part of me that shines through, I guess. The Cyber Sisters love the long-winded because it gives them even more of an opportunity to put words in your mouth.
Jerk is sarcastic, mean, unforgiving and never misses an opportunity to make a cutting remark. Jerk’s repulsive personality quickly alienates other Warriors, and after some initial skirmishing he is usually ostracized. Still, Jerk is very happy to participate in electronic forums because in cyberspace he is free to be himself…without the risk of getting a real-time punch in the mouth.
I’m assuming that most of you who have your own blogs have experienced being a subscriber to a message board at one time or another. If not, that’s okay because what I’m about to show you, I’m sure some of you will relate to, somehow. Being a part of online communities, journals, blogs, and the like, we’ve probably all ran across these personality types. Or maybe one or two of them … could be you?
ALLCAPS attempts to compensate for his limited rhetorical weaponry through the extravagant use of capitalized words – something netizens refer to as SHOUTING. Sure, a sprinkling of capitalized words can add some zip to a thrust, but they should be used sparingly. Even worse from a tactical point of view, too much shouting alerts other Warriors to the opponent’s verbal WEAKNESS and emotional EXCITABILITY.
People who type in all caps never really bothered me that much. My only complaint about it is that their words are a lot harder to read.
Although sometimes a male, Crybaby is usually a female, and often a close ally of Innocence Abused. When teased or attacked Crybaby will pitch a loud public temper tantrum, holding her breath and kicking her feet. If that defense fails she will run to Nanny for comfort.
Errr…. this sounds somewhat like the way I used to be, and still sometimes am. Ug!
Cyber Sisters are an extremely fierce confederation of fighting females who act something like a shrill Greek chorus, echoing and amplifying one another’s voice until their foes retreat in disarray. They are generally leaderless, but anyone who challenges one Cyber Sister can expect to be savagely attacked by the others. Only the most powerful and battle-hardened of Warriors is strong enough to weather a Cyber Sisters attack.
Oh my… this is the most notorious and the most common behavior I’ve ever (unfortunately) experienced on the internet. I’ve never been apart of this mob-mentality in cyberspace. It’s everywhere. Before you dissent or begin any kind of “touchy” or controversial topic, you better make sure you’re bonded with the popular,“I’m a bitch and I’m proud”, catty, combative, and the evil force of overly female poison. If not, you will be pounced upon and smashed to the ground by a pack of sexually frustrated female clique of wolves. They don’t mess with the popular people because they can dish it out but can’t take it back in return by a group. They are cowards and only go after the newbies or ones not involved in a click. They know in advance that you don’t have a support group or have an entourage everywhere you go. They know if they strike at you, that they will receive support from their catty coalition. And you will be dead and will know better the next time to keep your opinions to yourself! So, in short, if you’re going to voice a strong opinion, do it after you’ve connected with the “girls club”. It’s at that time, you can say whatever you please. Even if they disagree with you, you won’t know about it because they’re ON YOUR SIDE!
Yes, (believe it or not) a lot of these women are in their mid twenties, thirties, and forties. You’d think you were back in elementary school again.
I’ve never seen this type of behavior among men. However, before I had gotten married, I joined a couple of (cough) … ALL FEMALE message boards consisting of engaged prima-donnas or married soccer moms, Stepford wives and trophy wives. After these experiences of being a member of an ALL-FEMALE message board, I never went back and never intend on joining a community like that again!
Men are more logical and so much easier to get along with. They argue with more reason, and if you point out to a man that he dissed you, (if you were really undeserving of an attack by a male and you know it), more than likely, they will apologize to you! No, seriously. Too many women are too strongly driven by their emotions, and don’t have time to stop and think about what they’re doing or saying. If you point out to them their wrong-doings, you will get stomped on again —- but this time EVEN HARDER!
For Ego, the discussion forum is all about him, and he regards discussions that stray from that topic as trivial dalliances. Although tolerant of an occasional shift in focus, Ego grows increasingly restive when the forum’s attention shifts away from his interests, and he will often provoke conflict to reestablish himself as the subject at hand. Ego is one the the fiercest of all the Warriors and will fight to the death when attacked.
“Can we please stay on topic here?!”, “You’re not only off topic, but……”, and along with all other hostile ways of informing a member that they’re off topic — is very commonplace. I had always thought these cries directing people to stay on topic were so petty that it was laughable. What makes it even more humorous is the fact that if you say something nice, nobody mentions a thing. I always found that funny because the measures to get some people “on topic” were only directed at either those of whom weren’t liked or those that said something disagreeable. But if you are a really good boy or girl, you will be sure to post an “O/T” before you speak.
The same applies to blogs in blogdom. I could care less if someone puts comments in my blog that are off topic. I don’t have a problem as long as someone isn’t selling Viagra, Penis Enlargement pills, or attacking the person instead of the subject. But as long as everyone’s conversing and having a good time, so be it. I feel that life is way too short to get all riled up about stupidity like that.
Enfant Provocateur likes to stir up trouble because…because, well…just because. This species of Flame Warrior is almost always young and male – it could be just a hormone thing.
I must admit… I really enjoy this type.
I will continue this topic either later tonight or tomorrow. Please stay tuned for Part II of Flame Warriors!
Hello all, and welcome!
In my blog, I discuss Americanophobia, politics, political extremism (my rantings about the extreme right and the extreme left), anthropology, crime news, psychology, LOTS of humor, and try to debunk common rumors spread about the American people. The variety of topics I discuss are in 360 posts ... Continue reading »
“There is a big difference between being anti-American and being critical of the United States….critiques are appropriate and necessary, provided that they rest on facts and address real abuses, real errors and real excesses–without deliberately losing sight of America’s wise decisions, beneficient interventions and salutary policies. But critiques of this kind–balanced, fair and well-rounded–are hard to find, except in America herself…” — Jean-Francois Revel
"The fundamental role of anti-Americanism in Europe in general, and particularly among those on the Left, is to absolve themselves of their own moral failings and intellectual errors by heaping them onto the monster scapegoat, the United States of America. The U.S. is charged with all the evils, real or imagined, that afflict humanity, from the falling price of beef in France to AIDS in Africa and global warming everywhere. The result is a widespread refusal to accept responsibility for one's own actions." — Jean-Francois Revel
"Anti-Americanism is hypocrisy at its finest, You can spend your evening catching the latest episode of "24" and then complain about Guantanamo the next morning." --the Berlin bureau chief of Der Spiegel
"Of course some Americans are stupid, but... "It all boils down to the fact that knowledge and intelligence are two different issues. Rote memorization of world capitals does not equate intelligence.
I do find it interesting that Canadians and Europeans have such strong opinions on this, considering that there are many more pressing issues to be concerned about. Perhaps the steady Canadian and European refrain of "Americans are stupid" is a reflection of their own deep-rooted insecurity. You know -- an inferiority complex." --Mohammed
"As an American, please allow me to begin by asserting that our nation has had its strengths and its weaknesses, its successes and its failures, and its justices and injustices throughout history and continuing into the present. Although I sense much patriotism for my homeland, I recognize our need for humility to understand that our country is not above questioning or reproach but is rather under the same standards as all other nations of the world. I would simply like to ask those who view our country from afar to maintain a balanced perspective and realize too that there exists good and bad in America, both in terms of its domestic society and politics as well as in its relations with other nations.
Whilst there may be growing anti-Americanism in the United Kingdom I do not believe such sentiment to be reciprocated on our side of the Atlantic. I viewed a recent survey that indicated most Americans view England positively, and never have I seen the flag of your country (or any other foreign land, for that matter) burned in the streets of our cities. Clearly we as American citizens have not meant to be your enemies." --Seth
"As someone who takes human rights seriously, I'm appalled by the lack of sympathy the left feels toward the victims of any regime other than the Bush administration. Let's shout it to prisoners everywhere: If you're not harmed by an American, your suffering doesn't count." --Erik Svane
"Ambivalence, antipathy, and resentment toward and about the United States have comprised an important component of European culture since the American Revolution at the latest, thus way before America became the world's 'Mr. Big' -- the proverbial eight-hundred-pound gorilla -- and a credible rival to Europe's main powers, particularly Britain and France . . . . While the politics, style, and discourse of the Bush administration -- and of George W. Bush as a person -- have undoubtedly exacerbated anti-American sentiment among Europeans and fostered a heretofore unmatched degree of unity between elite and mass opinion in Europe, they are not anti-Americanism's cause. Indeed, a change to a center-left administration in Washington, led by a Democratic president, would not bring about its abatement, let alone disappearance." --Andrei S. Markovits (author of Uncouth Nation - Why Europe Dislikes America)
"Is Euro Disney Land a threat to the French Culture? If French culture can be squashed by Mickey Mouse, or more exactly by simply moving Mickey geographically, it would have to be disturbingly fragile." Moreover, Revel argued, culture always circulates and, in the case of Euro Disneyland, California was merely repackaging for Europeans such European stories as Cinderella and Pinocchio. According to Revel, French culture was not being colonized and if any culture was in crisis, he contended, it was that of America with its fad for political correctness and other forms of "neoprovincialism." --Jean-François Revel
"Anti-Americanism is the only face of xenophobia still broadly accepted in Europe." --Mary Fitzgerald (New Statesman)
"Americans find themselves damned either way. If they remain within their own borders, they are isolationist hicks who are shirking their responsibilities. If they intervene, they are rapacious imperialists." --To hate America is to hate mankind
"The British find it very difficult to come to terms with the loss of their global dominance. We felt a deep sense of hurt and loss. We used to run the world, and we don’t anymore. So, in order to palliate that insecurity, we tend to run ourselves down too much. And we’re also snooty about the people who DO run the world." -- Boris Johnson (Member of Parliament)
"It is tragic that Anti-American ideas are so easily passed through rumour, while reconciliatory ideas and notions must be backed up with catalogues of evidence before they are even considered, purely because of the fact that it is so much easier to hate than to keep an objective open mind." --David Hatton
"Other common anti-American objections are ignorance and stupidity. In dealing with these two, I have no reason to suspect that the average American is any less intelligent than the average person from anywhere else. One trait I have noticed is that other cultures are generally much more ashamed of any deficit in the intellect of the individual, especially ours (the British), and as such will make a much greater attempt to hide it. If all cultures bar one are scared of looking stupid and take action to prevent that happening, then that one remaining culture is inevitably going to be lumbered with that image." --David Hatton
"We became not a melting pot, but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams." --Jimmy Carter
"Most of the anti-Americanism these days stems from plain old nationalistic jealousy by a lot of countries that are born of insecurity about their own place in the world and their painful self awareness of their own failings and shortcomings...like the kids in the next block who are jealous of the boy who has a better bicycle or a newer fancier skateboard....phuque 'em all." --Robbins Mitchell
"Europeans, like the rest of the world, hate America and Americans, but love our aid when in distress, and our soldiers to die for THEIR COUNTRIES. You need to work, live and pay taxes from this side of the Atlantic to understand our vision of Europe and the rest of the world." --Jerry
"Unjustified hatred of Americans:
There is much unjustified hatred in the world. There is unjustified hatred of the USA. Much of this arises from the victimisation complex that sweeps much of mankind. Whoever is in charge, whoever is powerful or successful will also be hated. This immature hatred often evaporates quickly with a little reason or thought. There are some some invalid, unjustified criticisms. The most widespread hate is the hate by people the world over who fall victim to their own shortcomings, and want a scapegoat." --Vexen Crabtree
"USA citizens are not given world news in the same way as most the other developed nations, and may well be genuinely unaware that much of the world is as poor as it is. European news is highly world-centric, whereas due to its size most USA news does not have enough time to cover news in all neighbouring states, let alone news from around the world. " --Vexen Crabtree
"Despite the USA's dominance of mass media, it is frequently only the pro-USA, self-congratulatory messages that seem to arrive in Europe, the USA citizens criticism and disbelief of their own government is not apparent, which gives the overall impression that Americans are either gullible, ignorant or honestly uncaring." --Vexen Crabtree
"If a person outside of American culture is a hateful person, they may actively hate and verbally attack America. If the person takes this to include a hatred of Americans themselves, they are inconsiderate and have become a fool. If a person like this is brought up by people with vested interests in attacking America (and there are many), a person can be driven to take his opinions to a violent level. Generic hatred is not solved or soothed by adding more layers of hatred.
There is a belief and hope that if enough nations oppose America, the American people will realize what their government has been doing and will overthrow them. This hope is misguided, as anti-American actions are causing the opposite"--Vexen Crabtree
"I think it is best, when faced with people from other nations, to treat them as individuals. Yes, you can "hate" the injustices that governments perpetuate on us all, and yes, you can despise ignorance in all its' forms. But any sort of blanket prejudice punishes yourself more than anyone else, because it thwarts the opportunity to learn from someone else. It stops you from making potential connections that could ultimately change your life. As an "american" living abroad, I pity my fellow countrymen who still have the wool over their eyes, but I don't hate them. The fact that when I meet them, they are indeed traveling at the time, says to me that they are in the process of opening their minds. Being in Europe, for many Americans, is the first step to realizing that other cultures do indeed exist and thrive, and that other forms of social structures are both possible and desireable.
-----------------
Many ask me why I left. Political reasons aside, when I mention that my family now enjoys free health-care and that my daughter will have the opportunity to go to university virtually for free (O.K. not free exactly, because we all pay taxes, but these services are included in what we as citizens receive for our tax dollars here in Europe,) they always respond with a sigh as they realize that this is the way all societies should be run. They know that something has gone terribly afoul in their beloved "homeland."
--------------
Americans, in essence, need to be re-taught what is possible in the world, they do not need to be shunned. Shunning them will only help to produce more negativity in the world. If we all, from without, can help them to change what is wrong with their country from within, by sharing our knowledge of alternatives, then the whole world will benefit." --Lily
"Sometimes the caliber of a nation is found not in why it is liked, but rather in why it is not." --Victor Davis Hanson
"Everyone is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone says anything back, that is an outrage." --Winston Churchill
"With a military that has become a laughing stock and her increasing irrelevance in the world around her, I believe that the Canada I know and loved is gone. The sad truth is, Canadians have only themselves to blame since they meekly chose to accept everything without question and without fighting back. Most of them even pat themselves on the back for being so “progressive” and “multicultural” and “diverse,” while failing to recognize that all of those things will bring about Canada’s demise. America may not be perfect, but at least there is a strong conservative movement and a population who will fight to keep their rights." --Jayne Gardener (Why I left Canada)
"Regarding Race Relations in the South:
I once read an observation that ONE (and there are many) of the differences between the Northern and Southern approach to race is that the North tends to reject the Individual while embracing the Race. The South conversely seems to have prejudice towards the other Race while embracing the Individuals. It's a generalization to be sure but one with more than a grain of truth.
Blacks and Whites have always lived closely in the South, most southerners have an aquantince of another race whom they like, while at the same time generalizing about the 'others'.
The North has always been more segregated and less mixed in ordinary commerce and interaction. They accept the race but interact with few individuals of another group. Leading to less real experience with the other group. Fewer Northerners subsequently have friends of a different race.
I think we a need to be cautious when making these generalizations but I believe they still offer food for comment.
I guess I'm just saying that one shouldn't assume the South has a less open society because of some who have lingering, isolated, racist attitudes towards 'Canadians'. It just seems that these notions, are more exposed, and carry more gravity due to their past. --JG (reply #70)
"My “two cents” to all you Americans out there: speaking as a Brit, it pains me to see some of the comments emanating from this page by alleged British sophisticates. Much of the real reason for anti-Americanism of this type — though it will be hotly denied — is nothing more than envy. Truth be told, many an Englishman yearns for the day when we were the number one dog in town, with the world sitting obediently at the feet of hordes of short-back-and sides public school boys lording it over primitive tribes of Africans and Asians, whilst men such as Joseph Chamberlain and Winston Churchill sincerely speculated on the chances of the USA being welcomed back into the imperial bosom.
Americans, don't lose heart; you are the great power of the age. It is your lot to be envied and feared. Do not fall for the soft hearted illusion that this translates into moral superiority of any variety." --James
"It is sick that to be Canadian one must hate other people. I've been to US hundreds of times and England as well and they never equate their nationality with hatred of others. It seems we are a nation of people that are in serious need of therapy. Thank god I enjoy visiting other countries and felt no need to hate or denigrate others. When ever I go to United States or England I always leave the Canadian stuff at home and I get along just fine. I would recommend this for others." --Nov. 12th, 2005 5:08PM
"The only thing more annoying that a 'typical American' (and they do exist!) is a Canadian with a superiority complex! Americans do get the piss ripped out of them behind their backs but with the flag on your pack you probably will as well." --travoholic
"I grew up on army bases my whole life and nothing makes me prouder than watching Canadian soldiers do what they can, when they can, to help out more impoverished nations. I do, however, become angered at people who begin talking about who has the better, or bigger army and who can beat whom. Soldiers sacrifice their lives for the betterment of mankind, not to win pissing contests." --Mon Dec 13, 2004 5:12 pm
"I attribute European anti-Americanism to a state of prolonged “adolescence” from being protected by American treasure and military might throughout the post-WW2 era. I think about how teenagers rail against their parents actions and restrictions, all the while knowing, deep down, that they cannot provide for themselves.
On a somewhat lighter note, there was a program on PBS (Public Broadcasting System) a while back about why Europeans don’t like America. One interviewee attributed it to the Europeans knowing that America won’t hurt them." --Denis Eugene Sullivan
"In spite of the constant accusations of “arrogance,” Americans are really very self-deprecating in many ways and often place the French, and other Western Europeans, on a pedestal of cultural superiority; this probably goes further back into world history than virulent anti-Americanism does." --Jennifer
"Yes, anti-Americanism is a sad reality all over the world. I feel its simply part of "hatred of the superpower". Britian for most of its empire's history was mocked harshly by English speaking colonies and much of mainland Europe. Nobody likes the "big kid on the block". I think the fact that American media plays a more dominant role in English speaking societies around the world further reminds us of our inferiority complexes.
In short, America's ok with me. I can only hope that reason and the shedding of jealous ignorance can let other people see that America isn't that bad." --Matt
"Conservatives love America the way a six year old loves his mother. Mommy is perfect, don’t be mean to mommy, etc… Liberals, according to me, have a grown-up love for America — the kind that recognizes faults and works to improve the nation out of love." --Al Franken

Aby & Captain V Sasha “the Liberals – the Internationalists” Commit Forgery!
In Americanophobia, Blame Europe, Human Waste, Humor, The Crime Library, Troll Droppings and Responses on December 4, 2008 at 3:34 PMA Right-wing Indian fringe group that finds my blog very offensive decided to forge my name on a comment that I didn’t make as revenge for posting their hate mail publicly on my blog, I am guessing. Some phrases were made by me in this post. The authors of the offending blog decided to copy and paste some of my words (out of order) and mix them up with someone else’s combined with some Valley-girl lingo.
Here’s the finished product. (Click the below to get to the source.)
If these Americanophobic teeny-boppers have to commit forgery to prove that Americans are dumb, … that indeed is a compliment to Americans!
I had to laugh at the ending, though, as Zontar had posted that in his comment reacting to the hate mail that I had received.
They have access to a thesaurus and a keyboard. What a feat!!!!
Who cannot laugh at the silliness of all this?
UPDATE:
The latest from Aby the “Liberal” and co.:
Once again, quoting things that I did not say. It’s not really that HUGE of a deal as those people that already know me know that I don’t talk like that. And people who don’t know me? Bring it on! They can just come here and read my site to find out for themselves.
Still laughing at the silliness!
UPDATE 2!
If that wasn’t hilarious enough, I took a screen shot of her commenting back to herself!
