[Army of GOD]

I'm proud to be an American.

I think...

[john9blue]

Despite what some may have you believe, I'm also proud to be an American.

[Army of GOD]

Am I proud to be an Armenian?

Also, what's your source on this?

I was bored at work and made it up. I'm just hoping that this goes viral in the next 12 hours and the 6.75 billion non Americans all pray for fog, and the fog comes.......

Understood. TROLLS ACTIVATE VIRAL SPREADING!

I will do my part to help this awesome rumor spread.

Guys, let's all go find Ted Nugent videos or other jingoistic YouTubes and start spreading the rumor!

A dense blanket of fog tomorrow is forecast to cover the whole of the USA, this fog will also cause all phone lines and internet connections to fail. No Americans will be able to be seen or heard for 24 hours. The United Nations have moved quickly to make January 26th 2010 a world holiday. The rest of the world is encouraged to stay indoors and spend ages on the internet, safe in the knowledge that their forum posts won't be hi jacked by annoying Americans.
No American Political threads will be started on this day and internet speeds are due to be 5 times faster than normal due to this one fact alone. The United Nations predict that someone with a Dial up connection in India will be able to download a dvd in three minutes 15 seconds.

An Indian rice farmer was interviewed and told Reuters that he was going to download a film, even though he was blind.

complaining won't get you anywhere

How a bought we keep this simple. You don't shit on my flag, I don't shit on yours. I have a touch of pride for my country. Sure our state politics is dismal, but so is most the rest of the worlds. Honor, integrity, honesty, they are all things I value and hold dear. I see those virtues in my life, my community, and my country as a whole. It is unfortunate that our government does not often act in accord to a set of decent values, but one can't have everything. The place I see no honesty, integrity, honor or even basic intelligence is in those flag burning fuckheads. I hold everyone in contempt who posted that trash.



Show a little respect.

They're definitely European.

I've seen that image before. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's from an anti-Iraq invasion protest, which means the image is most likely from a Coalition of the Willing nation.

Okay. Then I retract my previous statements beginning with "Although."

Seriously, I really don't care if people burn the flag or not; it's a free speech thing with me. That being said, I still think burning the flag can be done in poor taste or by people who do not understand why they are burning the flag.

Just curious - if you substitute "flying" for "burning" the US flag, is that statement still correct?

That's a funny idea coming from a country who has a notorious history of being disrespectful and destructive towards other countries.

Oh Please!! If I saw a photo of someone shitting on the Union Jack I wouldn't care less.
And as far as your claim that you see honor and integrity in your community and country , It's pretty evident that you seem to of missed the fact that the US is the worlds largest producer and exporter of Arms. Where is the honor and integrity of selling arms to the Saudis (who treat women like shit) or the Taliban (when they were fighting the invading Russians) or any other shitbag country that wants to buy missiles, guns, planes or bullets.

If you came from a country like Denmark, then I could understand you claiming to be living in a wonderful country, But if you live in the US, or the UK, don't, because you and me aren't living in some sort of utopian paradise.

Too bad the U.N headquarters are in New York City. I guess they wont be able to spread the word on this holiday...since their phone lines and internet wont be working either. It's funny how the world sends all their delegates to a country they supposedly hate so much. Isn't telephones better than using a carrier pigeon? Good thing an american named Alexander Graham Bell invented it. How 'bout that internet you love so much? I bet it was developed in great places like England or Denmark, wasn't it? Oh...wait..no..more pesky americans. Is it an inferiority complex? Is that the problem? Oh why must the Americans dominate you in every way?

it would seem that the fog didn't materialise, unfortunately. to avoid americans online is quite easy though. don't even bother reading threads with american healthcare, politics, obama, torture in the title. i mean, who the f*ck cares what some 18yr old yank with no life experience thinks?

So Pedro...is your paranoid hatred for all americans and things american include me? I am saddened.......

it's a shame really that the lad does believe that Alexander Graham Bell was American.


pearljamrox, you're a numpty, learn about who Alexander Graham Bell is before trying to use him as one of your own. he was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. in 1847.

And he invented the telephone while living IN Canada!

[pearljamrox2]

His work was done in Boston..it was invented there. He left Scotland to work here. It's amazing how many people had to leave their native land and come here to do their best work.
