I must say one of the best qualities about the US in my experience is the people who are very friendly and generous. Up here in the north we are a little colder somehow.Post edited by Annafalk on0

Being a nobody that gets to live life in

That is all.

i've always found it so ironic that so many people blast out the awesomeness of america, when the best of america is the same as most places, but the worst of america is only in america.0 -

My guy's been reading Maynard Keenan's book. When, after his dad was out of the picture, he asked his mother "Doesn't he love us anymore?" Exactly what my husband asked of his mother when he went through the same thing.

but why? if someone insults canada i just laugh it off. it's just a fucking border. it's imagined. it's made up. why do people defend the borders they live within? it all just seems to weird to me. i was born here. i didn't choose here or make it myself. there's no reason for me to be proud of where my mom gave birth to me. it has nothing to do with me. it's all government bullshit. people are programmed to believe they have something personally invested in the country they are from. it's false.whispering hands said:

I like your perspective on this. I just have been to 3 third world countries.. and when you see those dictatorships and desolation first hand, it gives you an appreciation for those imagined borders. Besides I come from A deeply rooted military family. So that's another part of it. Another part is that the source was a series of Investigation Discovery shows on true crime stories.. and that combination brought out the nasty reaction. You're right, I should just laugh it off..but I can't. Patriotism is something that runs deep in my blood.. it's instilled in me.HughFreakingDillon said:

Ok... back to silky random things. I apologize for half turning this thread into an AMT circus. Just couldn't let that delusion-based comment go; have lost too many cousins, and Uncles, and a brother, defending my country, to let some sick person talk smack, while citing dramatized television shows as a source.
Back to randomness..0 -

Anything you lose from being honest
You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.0
