I don't hate America. It's the nation into which I was born and still live, but I dislike politicians referencing mythical characters and hoping those mythical characters will somehow bless this country. Why not call on Zeuss or Hades or someone? And why America? Why not bless the world so that we can move past petty nationalism?rustneversleeps said:

it's the same moronic statements that fans say to Ed (or anyone) that he hates america because he criticizes the government, and he should love it or leave it. it's just so stupid. if america fails, we all fail. I want what's best for america as that directly impacts what's best for the rest of the world.rustneversleeps said:

Maybe it would be helpful if you understood the meaning behind the phrase and the song before calling it stupid or arrogant. Should we dissect all countries phrases, songs, ideals, etc?HughFreakingDillon said:

yeah, because that's the context people use it in today. spouting god bless america after a person is sentenced to death does not invoke what was intended when it was written.tbergs said:

and go for it. I was responding to someone using that phrase. if I make a similar statement, calling for a god to bless my country while praising someone's upcoming execution, feel free to call me out on it.tbergs said:

I agree. That doesn't mean it's stupid or arrogant. Saying God Bless America to a death sentence and singing it at his execution; completely stupid. It's about the context and the person using the phrase. Our soon to be president has made it clear how much difference there is in the meaning of "some words when spoken" by different people under different context.HughFreakingDillon said:

I would say the same if someone in Canada said something similar. I am not a patriot. I am happy to live in Canada and know how fortunate I am to do so. But I think nationalism and patriotism are odd. we're all human.tbergs said:

I agree. That doesn't mean it's stupid or arrogant. Saying God Bless America to a death sentence and singing it at his execution; completely stupid. It's about the context and the person using the phrase. Our soon to be president has made it clear how much difference there is in the meaning of "some words when spoken" by different people under different context.HughFreakingDillon said:
yeah, because that's the context people use it in today. spouting god bless america after a person is sentenced to death does not invoke what was intended when it was written.tbergs said:
Maybe it would be helpful if you understood the meaning behind the phrase and the song before calling it stupid or arrogant. Should we dissect all countries phrases, songs, ideals, etc?HughFreakingDillon said:
what an idiotic statement. as I have stated repeatedly, it is impossible for any reasonably intelligent person to hate a country. I like visiting America, and some of my family are Americans.rustneversleeps said:
well you seem to hate America and Americans, so this isnt a surprise. God Bless Canada to , eh....HughFreakingDillon said:

at least they aren't shouting for allah to bless a man-made geographical area. that is just such a stupid concept to me.Thirty Bills Unpaid said:

sometimes I wonder how many politicians (democrats) hate saying that, but have to, as they'd be villified if they didn't.

patriotism was created, like a religion, to brainwash people into fighting for their country. simple as that. it only exists in countries with a vast military interest.rustneversleeps said:
stay fluffy my friends....HughFreakingDillon said:
nope. but you go on believing your imaginary lines are better than someone else's.rustneversleeps said:
i bet if you were American you'd be a patriot.HughFreakingDillon said:
I would say the same if someone in Canada said something similar. I am not a patriot. I am happy to live in Canada and know how fortunate I am to do so. But I think nationalism and patriotism are odd. we're all human.tbergs said:
