GOD BLESS AMERICA

patriotic phrases of any class won't take you far on this forum, just a piece of advise :nod:

I honestly bet that if he had said "viva la mexico" or something to that effect, you wouldn't respond that way.

I would have said exactly the same. Patriotism is an oudated idea that has somehow outlived its time. The effects of having to carry its corpse are pretty obvious.

... so what did I win?

lol, yeah i just said god bless america for the hell of it u know, it just seemed fittin after that ***** speech, and well if there not rebuilding iraq what do u think there doin, just loungin around throwin a kegger? What u basically said is that we should just leave iraq to rot and wither away because it will cost billions to even see changes, well u know things like that dont happen over night, it takes time to fix stuff like that, maybe thats why our troops are in there. See what i mean dude?

Yeah, I see it. And yes, you completely missed my point as well.

Well yeah, maybe I went overboard. My point was just that

a) Trying to sound as if the world owes USA something just because they are doing their moral obligation after messing up in a craptacular way is somewhat... silly...

b) Feeling patriotical in this time and age is just not... right... then again we still have many other things like supernatural believings, superstitions etc so I guess it's not the worst out of the bunch... but it was not really against the USA. Just patriotism for any given country.
