There was a thread on 'Politics and Debate' which stated that over 1/4 of Americans were unaware of which country they gained their independence from in the Uprising. <br /><br />The bourgeoisie have created an infrastructural paradise in the West at the expense of the majority of the human population on Earth. India and China, the two most populous countries in the world, do most of the labour and create most of the West's consumer goods. <br /><br />It's a shame really. What we've become, further exacerbated by an ignorant, spoilt, narcissistic Anglo-American youth. Visit continental Europe (Italy, France, Germany, etc) and the youth there are pretty good, visit the UK or America, and they're a bunch of fucking cunts.Vestsaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720810546156166870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13055290723028357.post-11525347269332359112010-07-05T12:11:58.599-04:002010-07-05T12:11:58.599-04:00Benton: That's the impression that I get.

The hospitals were inundated with firework accident victims, I am sure.<br /><br />Seph: Already seen that a few times, but always up for another viewing. I've seen all of his later work. Loved it all. <br /><br />I have not seen that particular South Park episode. I'll have to keep an eye out for it. It's amazing how everything I say is easily met with a Carlin clip :)magx01https://www.blogger.com/profile/14831638782847911405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13055290723028357.post-42656892084110807732010-07-05T11:38:49.993-04:002010-07-05T11:38:49.993-04:00Obligatory George Carlin segment. :D Only the firs...<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpP_FnGns0o" rel="nofollow">Obligatory George Carlin segment.</a> :D Only the first half of that is applicable (and in fact more or less the same sentiment you shared here), but I'm sure you'd enjoy the rest of it. :)<br /><br />I don't give a fuck about the Fourth of July either, partly for that same reason. I also don't think our history is to be celebrated though. "All men are created equal," yet slavery persisted for another 90 years, and we're still living with the repercussions of that to this day.<br /><br />IIRC, Carlin referred to it as the "red, white, and blue bull shit" (or something like that) in another segment of his (probably from that same HBO Special, <i>It's Bad For Ya</i>).<br /><br />South Park also had a great episode on this several years ago (Season 7, Episode 4, "I'm a Little Bit Country"). Cartman has a flashback sequence in which he travels back to 1776 and witnesses the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and towards the end, the Founding Fathers say something to the effect of "...a country founded on saying one thing and doing another. And we'll call that country, America."<br /><br />Add to that the whole "world police" mentality of recent years, and more often than not, I'm actually <i>ashamed</i> to be an American. I can't really blame the rest of the world for hating us...Sephnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13055290723028357.post-12272038673921389132010-07-05T02:36:57.704-04:002010-07-05T02:36:57.704-04:00Yeah, I also find 4th of July to be quite useless....Yeah, I also find 4th of July to be quite useless. I don't mind that they're celebrating the independence of their country but that's not what it's about now a days. They are only doing it for national pride and think they're better than everyone else because they're from the U.S. Fourth of July is really annoying right now because there are teenagers setting off fireworks and I keep on thinking someone is getting shot or something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
