Re: American $@#$@#$@#$@#$@#$@#$@#$@#

Lets play a game of good idea bad idea

Good idea: Letting people know your problems

Bad Idea: Bashing America when over 90% of this board is American.


But lets examine the facts, many of these people are returning speakers, and as many people know change is hard so if you spent the last 2 or 3 years calling it US FIRST chances are that subconciously doing it. Trust me their is no American conspiricy to bash the other countries involved, but lets not forget where most of the teams are and where it was founded and where the nationals were being held. Why did it appeal more to americans? because its In AMERICA!. If it was in Canada im sure it would favor Canada.

The reason most teams didn't notice is because the simply Don't care what they call it, they could call it INTERNATIONAL FIRST and i bet you half the people won't notice. I don't really care what they call it ITS A NAME.

As for the american flag everywhere well its Patriotism, while im not a patriot i do have some respect for the people in my country, and i like the fact they they support our country.

Oh and By the way if we don't know there's other countries outside our borders what happens to those millions and millions of dollars we send out in forgin aid, what about the red cross, what about the american troops, what about the aid workers, Think a little bit man. America isin't filled with a bunch of $@#$@#$@#$@#$@#$@#$@#es were a lot smarter and have a lot smaller egos than you think we do.

Try not to get to worked up over simple matters

Oh and you might want to get a flameretardent suit.
