America is the Greatest Country in the World
 

Priceless.


:Oh crap

That clips has been on here 80 times, old and tired. Thanks though Toots for trying to be cool on Valentine's day :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I did a bit of a marathon of the first season a few weeks ago - I saw that and wondered how it made it past the first episode...

Americans don't do criticism that well - Watch what happens in this thread.....

Oh I didn't mean the reply to BF to be serious, I'm just fucking with him. :)

I think the non-Americans are going to handle this worse than the Americans. :-)

Is that from a show? Which one?

The Newsroom - Worth watching...

Get over yourself. It was a rant on a television show. And a stupid rant based on a stupid question.

There never was a greatest country, there still isn't. The part where he waxes rhapsodic about how *we* used to be great? bullshit. We used to do things for moral reasons? Please.

wake up and turn off your television.

Thanks :thumbsup

The great men that signed those first papers all had great vested personal interests. :-)

I don't have a problem with it. Humans are humans. That's what we do. I just chuckle every time they are placed on a moral pedestal.

I do not watch a lot of TV, so I had never heard of it either. I think it's a series on HBO or Showtime or something.

All the same, I found it to be an entertaining clip. Especially the comments on today's youth.

True dat fine sire.

:thumbsup

Have any of you been following what's going on in Venezuela? Meanwhile we argue about stupid stuff in Libya and Syria while Africa starves....

SLy gets it.

Reality.

Oh and sweeping generalizations labeling 315+ million people as not being able to handle criticism? If anyone on this board should be vehemently against profiling and labeling large groups it should be a british homosexual.

The irony in this post is astounding - Sorry Dynamo, but think about it:upsidedow...

Edit: Actually I think Dyna Mo might have been being naughty with this post:pimp.....

You should do the thinking.

I fully expected you to think I was proving your point about 315 million people not being able to handle criticism.

I got it eventually:error...

I was beginning to think I was wrong about you because I've always figured you were smarter and more grounded than that.

At the same time though, do turn your tele off.

I'm not as young as I used to be - Things take longer to sink in...

Now that I can relate to! :1orglaugh

What? Everywhere I look I see apologetic, self hating guilt driven Americans falling all over themselves to criticize their own country.

The rednecks going "'Murica" and waving flags all over the place wont even stop talking shit about their government and it's policies. They might insist its the "greatest country in the world" but as the video satirizes they have no idea why and have been swearing up and down it's been "going to hell in a handbasket" for years.

I think we do criticism very well.

OK - We have done that joke already:thumbsup...

what does africa have to do with venezuela?

They aren't as awesome as America, pay attention!
