Amen sir. Spoken like a true gentleman. :D

Were it so.


I'm just so sick of being taken as a fucking "yank" in a heavily derogatory sense, and I dislike the arrogant (as in, "We're the best and you need us to fight your war.") "yanks" that ruin that image for me and the dipshits that typecast ALL OF US (Americans) as that image (and it's always fucking English chavs by the way, I never get shit from any other UK country) with the exact same level of hatred.


But that's enough of that, no more ranting for me. I don't want to become the same arrogant, generalizing figure I wish to destroy.
Okay...now...wait for fog machine.

It's actually a graphical representation of part the Second artwork, but I know where you're going. I think all of us have our own mental landscapes to most of BoC songs, which are in a sense sort of inductive. That's where the bros succeed.

Better start for don't calling yourself an American. America is a whole continent, not a country. I don't get bothered by this, but other people do.

So I guess just always say "I'm from the USA" then. Because saying you're a USA-ian sounds silly.

Good thing this isn't 4chan.
You say you will school me, but I don't think you can. I am up for a challenge :) Then again, do you really want to get into a political debate on this forum? Also keep in mind I was not the one who brought up the middle east, I just simply was trying to say if england had some firepower behind them people would be able to defend themselves easier, but I guess that can be debated too can it not?

Also 4chan is a terrible site, full of perverts and pedofiles imho. So you're right, good thing this isn't 4 chan because I would have to destroy my computer and sanitize my brain from all the messed up shit they post.
I would school you in the general, old, America collectively has its head in its ass/Osama being dead doesn't mean anything prominently, but like I said, this isn't the forum for that. 4chan would be.

Let's not SERIOUSLY tell these people what to do, alright? It's their problem, not ours, and the last thing they need is cocky intervention.
You don't know who I even am, so how are you so certain you would "school" me. By the way what a poor choice of words, are you still in high school or something? The death of Osama bin Laden does not mean anything prominently? I beg to differ, and so would many other people. Yes this is not the forum for this, 4 chan is not the forum for this either - that place is crap. Why don't you try this place instead : http://www.physicsforums.com They talk about a wide range of subjects there not just science, filled with educated people, and would "school" you anyday. Also my original comment was a JOKE and not meant to be taken seriously, please read the thread throughly and take the foot from your mouth.

hi.
arguing is really cool.
but i think we've had quite enough, thank you.

EDIT: and any kind of argument like this could just as easily, and possibly quite more effectively be sorted out in a personal message (think of all the posts about "stop arguing" you wouldn't have to skip through to get to your adversary's next message!)

Sorry if this turned into an argument. I like debating but this is far from it. Won 't happen again.

D3v3l, I disagree and will leave it at that. The rest of the people here seem to be in favor of not discussing this. If you really want to continue, PM me. Otherwise, I will not speak about this.

Why are people bothered by this? People from the USA are called "Americans" like people from the United Mexican states are called "Mexicans." It's the only logical demonym for the country. And nobody is gonna call somebody from Canada or Chile "American." Seriously, who ever gets confused by this?

And if somebody is referring to the continents they will say "The Americas."

ok ill make this quick and easy.

i am noticing a lot of people bashing eachothers countries.


i am an american. im not saying that with confidence, im just stating it as a fact. i understand why most people view americans as dumb, since i live here and i think most americans are dumb.

anyway, heres my point, we all live on the same planet, and when you break it all down, we are all brothers and sisters. so why doesnt everyone treat eachother that way? our world could be such a beautiful place if everyone treated eachother with love and respect. the only way our world can ever get to peace is if every person does their part to treat eachother right. the past few months ive been doing what i can to make a change, rather than waiting for people around me to do it. its time everyone starts loving eachother, rather than believing in an afterlife with a heaven, its time to do our parts to turn this place into heaven.

im so tired of listening to different religious leaders talk about an afterlife and a heaven, when we can turn this life into heaven, by treating eachother right.


we are all on this board because we share the similar connection of enjoying boards of canadas music.. if you are anything like me, then BOC doesnt even create music, they create emotions that seem to touch your soul in a way that seems unexplainable.


to some up my entire rant, rather than bitching at eachother on a message board. come to peace with yourself, and then share that peace with the people who are around you, so that we can transform this world into a more beautiful place.

HEY. Let go of your national identities while on Internet. This thread is your country now, and you both live in it. So do I neighbor! I'm trying to read and these folks down the block are really letting each other have it.

As far as creating the emotions, who makes the grass green? Perhaps the sounds are rents in the universe, some universe of joy and terrifying harmony.

Mods, can we please direct these members to create a separate thread for any political arguments they wish to partake in? Nothing derails a thread more effectively than off-topic political debate. Thank you.
