America Bashing--the stupidest thing of all in the 00s.
It’s at an all time high. You could say that G.W. Bush is the reason for this, but you would be ignoring all the evidence that proves that Bush is nothing more than an excuse for all America-bashers to piss all over Americans. Bush and extreme right-wing politics are often cited as a reason for all the hate, but the very haters who cite these reasons never fail to expose their true colors as they unabashedly sling stereotypes, epithets, and childish taunts in our direction. Personal insults have nothing to do with politics.
The thing that gets me, however, is the fact that these same haters prove incapable of smelling their own shit. As I watched “Super Size Me” it struck me as kind of odd that the French woman who so willingly talked about American obesity was obese herself. It was also interesting to note that a person from France was using the word “unclean” in reference to something American. Recall that Mad Cow Disease didn’t originate in the United States. Also realize that, if we are to accept that Americans are fat, then we should not be afraid to accept stereotypes of other countries. Because, as we all know, there is a bit of truth to every stereotype. We Americans have accepted ours, now accept yours.
Something else that I find somewhat amusing is that many of these haters are so often oblivious to the fact that they are living pseudo-American lifestyles, or blindly emulate American contemporary life. If you’re going to crap all over America, please take off the blue jeans and baseball cap. Please block out contemporary youth culture. Stop using slang. Never use words like “cool” or “dude”. Because embracing American customs, whilst trashing Americans exposes you as a complete, hypocritical moron.
I can’t help but remember a person saying, “The only good thing to ever come from America is Quentin Tarantino and Star Wars!” If that is the case, let’s all trash our computers, turn off our lights, and pretend that America never existed. The world would lose countless technological and scientific innovations. But I’m sure there are those who would dispute these things--I would liken such a person to one who believes the world is flat.
We can prove America’s worth through countless achievements (We have the most Nobel prizes in the world). Now, for all those who dismiss the USA--prove your worth to us. If you have political problems with the US, that is fine. Many Americans have problems with their own government. But haters, just shut the hell up.
