Seems pretty likely that the seller American. It doesn't say so... but it's the most likely scenario. However, I don't see what that has to do with the concept of the American dream. People do stupid, inappropriate shit for money all over the world - it's not just restricted to America.Jason P wrote:With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

In the definition of the American Dream by James Truslow Adams in 1931, "life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement" regardless of social class or circumstances of birth.polaris_x wrote:Jason P wrote:Well, then why not refer to it as the canadian dream?

I agree because the behavior fits a profile of an American.PJ_Soul wrote:Seems pretty likely that the seller American. It doesn't say so... but it's the most likely scenario.
But, one part of this whole murder case is how we have all rushed to judgement based on our own individual stereotypes using unreliable information and poorly checked "reporting".Be Excellent To Each OtherParty On, Dudes!0 -

Hunter S Thompson had a hell of a time looking for it and I enjoyed reading it.0

Well, yeah, that... but also because there isn't actually all that much interest in the case outside of the US. It just seems to me that it would be an American who would be worked up enough about the case to do something like that - I mean, there is a pretty clear message behind the item. Just seems most like that only an American would feel passionate enough to come up with such an abomination. Well, whoever it was from wherever it was, I hope Trayvon's family manages to sue them for everything they're worth.... Them being in America would make that a LOT easier! haha!Jason P wrote:

That's such a classless, disgusting thing to sell/buy. I'm pretty sure that nobody buying that would have the guts to actually carry that into a range and shoot at it in front of other people. It'll hang on the wall of some piece of trash's bedroom by his 50 boxes of cold medicine so he can point it out to his friends and say something witty like, "Dude, check it out! Hahahahaha!"0

Zimmermans great granfather was black.

for those of you who did not read the link on the last page, here is a pic of the trayvon martin target that is being sold. it is disgusting....shocked the manufacturer is not defending this by saying "it's not trayvon.....it's the unabomber...yeah, the unabomber..."
but then again, in the target's right hand there are skittles and tea, so how can it NOT be trayvon??"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."0 -
Zimmermans mom, grandma and great grandpa.

"White man shoots black unarmed kid" ok bob
Again, this doesn't change the facts of the case.
I still say if it was the other way around Trayvon would have been arrested much sooner.This show, another show, a show here and a show there.0 -
