i have gotta buy that

i read it - its pretty good.

i also found you randomly, and it looks like we have lots of common interests, 42dontpanic, but our ideologies couldn't be more distant.

why do you seem to take such a negative view of the United States just become some jerk you don't like won an election?

Actually, there's no T in my ID, because when I was joining, I either missed the T key, or didn't press it hard enough so its just 42don **** cold, dark void**** panic.

Anyway, I hate Dubya because he is totally incompetent, pathetic, dumb, lame, awful, and has totally messed up Amereca and made most everyone else in the world hate us even more than before. And I am dissapointed that I'm from a country that is lead by an idiot who attacks other countries on stupid reasons like oil, assuming that they have weapons of mass destruction, because he doesn't like the guy, turns out that they DIDN"T have WMDs, killing a bunch of the people there, acting like he's saving the day and he's just so wonderful and fan-f*****g-tasic when he isn't... he's causing so many more deaths than what all this is worth (which isn't really very much) including almost 2,000 young people and countless Iraqis. I just hasten to explain to other people that I don't support the war, I hate GW, and I'm not a proud American, and I'm not proud about anything that has to do with America since he was elected. And I just don't like him. He has screwed up so much stuff otherwise, and everything he does is S-T-U-P-I-D. Maybe I'm just fat-headed and I'm easily p**sed off, but I don't understand how any sane person could have re-elected him and/or agree with or support his decisions or leadership, or what there is of it.

Yes, I understand your feelings on that matter, however that doesn't answer my question.

Why do you seem to take such a negative view of *THE UNITED STATES* just become some jerk you don't like won an election?

You see, the United States is a country, which may or may not have arguable chosen an innapropriate leader at the moment. How does that make the United States itself evil?
Nerd42

I never said that the US was 'evil', and I don't *hate* America, but if someone thinks i'm an 'ugly American', and i support the war, and all that stuff, i'm just saying i'm not proud of what my country is associated with these days. Sorry if I have offended you, but I'm just explaining my views.

ok, well if I were you, I'd ...
A. refrain from cursing when talking politics, because even if it's starred out it makes you look worse than whatever you're cursing about and ...
B. direct critisism towards specific current policies, not towards an entire country (unless your complaining about a communist country, in which case, that's fine by me )

All right, I'm really sorry, and I apoligise. I can be a complete jerk sometimes.
