It was like a punk song in a flash animation. The song basically was
saying how this particular person was ashamed for being an "merican" and how much he disagrees with our country and such. -------------

I like being American. However, I'm sure if I was Lithuanian I would like being Lithuanian, and if I was African I would like being African, etc. -------------

It was an interesting song that has a point. He's both proud and
ashamed of some of the things America has done. That seems like a
reasonable feeling.

You're an Idiot. But I mean he talks about our history right? I mean we've done some bad things but some countries like let's say france and england have done much worse things than us.(those countries are just examples) |

Hello sir, give us proof please, not just "zomgz, you idiot, us > france!!!" If you really want to challenge someone's statement, at least make it seem intelligent. Do some research, then post a couple reasons why you disagree with his OPINION. Thanks, look forward to the new post from you

my problem is with the morons who hold a grudge with the past. sure
america was founded with sound morals and intended to build upon said
qualities. so there were a few rough spots and crappy decisions. i
think countries should be evaluated by what they stand for and
accomplish in the PRESENT. and for the people who still like to hold the little grudges and debate every little mistake made by a nation of people, please tell me one important country today that has a major influence in society and economics who has a sparkling clean record. -------------

seeing as how I was south african (i was born there and lived the until i was thirteen.) i can say i like being an american more than i like being a south african. there are some things about the states that i dislike, but i still hold true to the original ideals of our founding fathers, and i think thats what make america vastly different from other countries. |

to add one more thought, if we humans learn from our mistakes(hopefully
we all try to) then making mistakes or bad choices with negative
consequences should be a sign of forward progress? or at least a step
towards it.

Kuhn, shut up. That thing is old and it was a pointless post. Not even funny. As far as punk songs go about what we did in the past (going with High Voltage here) it's kind of dumb. No matter how many punk rock ballads are written, you can't change what we did. The settlers left england because of opression, came to america and beat up the indians until we had the whole place to ourselves. Yada yada yada.....I've heard it many times before. I highly doubt that we conciously took the land from the indians (native americans if you would like to be technical). Besides, if people think that americans are stupid and ingnorant, then we DEFINATELY didn't do it intentionally now did we ;-). Case in point, be proud of what we have done as a nation and don't reflect so much on the past, it can't be changed, but it can be learned from. ------------- http://imageshack.us - [IMG - http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/857/sig9ac6cs1mj.jpg - |
