John Cleese: Declaration of Revocation (of American independance)

[Nikolas]

Farlander: Thank you so much.

I'm Greek and I know about WWII, but try to keep my mouth shut, cause everybody thinks that I say these things because I'm Greek. But you're not. Thank you!

Eldkatt: I'm talking about the ignorance of the Americans. And the global awarness. And I'm talking about the American citizen and not the America or the goverment or Bush (who might be an idiot, he might not. He sure looks like one though).

King_Nipper and his brother: I'm trying all the time to justify America and Americans but you havd to move on from the role of "We saved the whole world." thing, which comes out a little bit like "You're nothing without us". What day are you talking about. If you're talking about the day we said no  to Mussolini, that's on the 28th of October (tomorrow...). And yes it is a big day for Greeks.

I had other synonyms. I chose one that was used in Harry Potter with the most explicit suffix and got lauded for it...

It's just distressing to think that people view the United States as full of all this bad crap. Just because we are in the spotlight, for whatever reason, dosen't mean everybody should look for things wrong with us.

We are all people, and probably have the same groups of people, problems, and other things, just different sitautions....We all have problems...

I am not a patriot, or really politically minded. I just think it's lame to label people, wherever they are.

[shitar]

and probably have the same groups of people, problems, and other things, just different sitautions....

Nice assumption. Move to Europe and see if you're correct. I've lived in both Europe and US so I have my views in place.

[Squinky]

Got me there. I'm sure you've learned a lot in your whole 15 years on this earth.

So, I'm supposed to believe that Europe is this magical place where the problems of the world disapear? Not buying it....

People are people...

[Las Naranjas]

Wasn't he complaining about violence in the former Yugoslavia last month?

I never said Europe was a place where problems disappear. I was stating against you believing that everyone in the world thinks the same. Your priorities and mindset are completely different from Europeans, Eastern Asian, Middle East. I'd love to think that we're all just friendly human beings living together, thinking the same, living with the same mutual plans and ideals. I've been to the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and United States and that isn't how it works.

Telling yourself that we're all same in our minds really is ignorance.

[Squinky]

I never said we all think the same. I said we all have problems, but there are basic human compulsions that play out regardless of your location.  I didn't think this needed further explaination.

I can go a couple hours from where I live and meet folks that have completely different value systems than me, but they still are human. That is my point. Every culture has problems...

Theres even some compulsions that can feel a bit different, but now you're speaking alot more clearer and I understand what you are trying to say. I understood that you meant that we all thought the same in that previous post and it made no sense to me.

[Las Naranjas]

Is it 'cos he black?

[Gilbert]

Maybe it's because Sh*tar is 15.

[shitar]

Maybe it's because Sh*tar is 15.

Yes, I'm 15. What's your point? If you are going to try to insult me by discrediting me, atleast do it over the fact that I never made a released AGS game. Making fun of my age isn't anything more than an "e-cliche".

[Gilbert]

Hehe why? If someone was to be made fun of never released any AGS game, I'll be the largest target.

[esper]

Curse you oranges, for using Harry Potter as a reference!!! At least you, unlike alot of other people, understand that Harry Potter uses a lot of real terminology and even historical names. Nicholas Flamel, for instance, is a real alchemist, and the Hand of Glory is an actual occult artifact made from the severed hand of a thief that is supposed to keep other thieves out of your home. Floo powder, on the other hand, is what happens when you freeze dry the contents of your nose.

Arithmancy is, by the way, the art of divination by numbers. Las Naranjas' money is no longer on the line. Instead, he must send it all to me.

EDIT and, Shitar (is that a legal name?): I understand more than anyone, probably, how age should not be a factor in dealing with people. I work with kids alot of the time, and I have seen an eleven year old that would do a better job as president than the one we have! (insert any "but ANY eleven year old would do a better job" jokes here) However, when it comes to political matters, alot of the time, people who are under the age of eighteen have never had any sort of dealings with the govornment at all. All they know about it is what they see on the news and what they see from their parents. So forgive Gil for passing judgement, but it is very possibly a valid judgment.

I only have one last point to make:
"Hail Hitler"
Don't Like it?
that's what you'd be saying if it werent for America...

You just lost the discussion by default.

Godwin's Law has been proved yet again.

Wow... you owned him. Zhukov and the Russians were responsible for nearly 75% of all German casualties. Do the math.

[IM NOT TEH SPAM]

You do realize that I'm not even taking part in this discussion anymore, and that I lost about 2 days ago, right?

[Nikolas]

We actually do know that...

Em, who am I talking to, you or your brother?

Do be honest this post is to ask you why can't your brother make his own account. Thank you...

[IM NOT TEH SPAM]

Because he only wants to discuss in this thread, that's all.  And no, he's not going to anymore.  Just that shitar and voh still seem to think I am.

No, shitar, I'm not discussing anything politically related.  That's not discussing the subject of america at all... that's throwing in the towel for the second time.
