What makes someone an authority on what an american is?

So Not Real Not Really RealDonald, how do you feel about your Canadian born son of a Cuban immigrant opponent for nomination, Ted Cruz?

Does the deep cover he is effecting, while acting as an agent of the Canadian government, as a white supremacist anti-immigrant make him a real American enough that you will allow him to stay?

Or will he be on the same boat,plane or bus leaving the country, that you intend to put the American born incumbent POTUS on?

How can you be sure the next POTUS Hillary Clinton, will see to it that you're "recompensed" for sabotaging the right wing of US politics?

As an obvious bitch of Hillary Clinton's, when in bed, does Bill fuck you too or do you just suck him off?

You're a pathetic man if you're just going to make personal attacks without revealing yourself. I thought you had to be at least 18 to be on here but you seem like you're in junior high.

How's the hairpiece? I saw a GIF of it crawling away. Have you caught it yet?

An aside: Recently a Muslim woman, wearing a hijab, was verbally abused on a train in Newcastle on Tyne. The abuser told her to go back home and raise terrorists. She protested that she and her parents had been born in Newcastle.

The other passengers turned on the abuser and shouted at him so fiercely that he left the carriage at the next stop. They told the woman that he was an asshole and she should ignore everything he had said.

Her final comment? "They made me proud to be a Geordie.".

Too funny.

Though the article is good, much better than the high-nosed headline, it doesn't face the real problems other cuntries got with America.

1. People don't have a problem with America being "imperialist and warmongering", they've got a problem with only being this at their interests. They destroy dicatorships and shout "freedom", but they destroy democracies, too, if it fits their interest. From all empires ever existed, the American is the least reliable. Everybody can become an ally, and everybody can lose the state of an ally. Iraq was the best example.

2. People don't have a problem with the CIA, not more like with any other foreign intelligence service. If ever, they've got problems with the shit they're doing. If ever real subhuman shit happens in the world, it's rarely the CIA is not involved. A lot of this happens because of America's foreign policy.

3. Whatever people criticize on the behavior of American people - they rarely look in the mirror. Americans aren't much more hypocrite, fake, slimey or sneaky than people from other nations. But for most people in Europe, Americans are hard to rate. And this got a lot to do with different society values.

4. Given the size of America, nobody can be surprised of a lot of ignorant people, and Europe isn't different in this, that's right. But the despise for American Dumbness got less to do with ignorance, more with the attitude regarding that ignorance. Americans may like the thought that somebody with the intelligence of a rat can become president out of pure willpower. Europeans scares this, and they've got more and more the impression, dumbness is common sense in America. GWB enhanced this impression, Obama did the opposite.

5. American culture is loved all over the world. So anybody saying Americans got no culture are dropdead wrong. This saying is more a rebellion against the superiority of American culture in everyday life, and even the author pointed out American culture, though beloved, isn't always the best, in case of McDonalds or Starbucks, it's even a deterioration.

In the end, if people think we can learn from the Americans: we do all day. Our problem is more: what things shouldn't we learn from them? Especially Germans begin more and more to question their blind following, so saying "You can learn from us" means "you're not American enough"...which isn't much their goal....

I found that 5 part article very good reading, better than most taking a shot as to why Europeans turn their noses at Americans. We're a young country, Loud, brash, cockey with our superpower status, being King of the hill throwing our 800lbs around. I can see how that would irritate older countries that achieved much less over a longer time or in their waining years of faded past glory. We've eclipsed Europe doing things Europeans only dreamed of.

European countries are like the older, wiser parents trying to influence, restrain when necessary youthful offspring which will give lip service while hearing none of it or just nodding yes but thinking I'm still going to do what I want.

The USA passed from infancy to senility without stopping at maturity.

I read that somewhere.

The rule can also go. You must grow old but don't have to grow up. A good life philosophy.

I don't know if I get the last sentence right (eclipse = darkening?) but you can be sure about one thing: the Americans did and in a few things still do things we can't even dream about. The way you create businesses out of nothing is still unattained, and it's always a kick in the ass, positively. This, alongside an unattended branding of freedom, led to kind of a blind following for the conservatives and later even socialists in Europe. Loud, brash, cocky ? We even adopted this. America was big cars, big pizzas, fast computers, internet, and, not to forget, Rock n' Roll, Funk, Soul, Hip-Hop, MTV, but even such not-so-loud things like WoW, or Hollywood movies, and I mean EVERY Hollywood movie, not only the superexplosives featuring blockbusters. Though it's no longer cool to say it, but: People here love America. They're still craving.

But there is another kind of America we can't really deal with. An America that creates too much expendable problems (in our eyes...). Let's call it the Republican America, and I think you can guess which problems I'm talking about.

European countries are like the older, wiser parents trying to influence, restrain when necessary youthful offspring which will give lip service while hearing none of it or just nodding yes but thinking I'm still going to do what I want.

Europe is still at finding itself, and a lot of very dumb shit will be done till this is something of relevance. But I think its worth it. And it's kind of remarkable that the nation of fulfilling dreams acusses us of naivity because we work on OUR dream of a united Europe.

Just as the Bible dictates specifically what a child of God is, so too does The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America dictate what an American is:



It's really simple:

If you don't naturally believe in your Creator and his gift of inalienable individual liberty to every human, your're not an American...

...you're just a wannabe, dick.

So you have to believe in a magic man in the sky to be an American. Got it.

Of course, that's why he said atheists can't be american.

Canada is even younger than you and we shake our heads enough over your antics. And I suppose the US just popped into existence one day. Maybe by the hand of God. Parents buy you a new home and get you set up is hardly fully independent.

When you control a quarter of the world and 50% of it's population, come talk.

Someone should explain that whole first amendment thing to him.

 

[Saint Peter]

Someone should explain that whole first amendment thing to him.

You shall have no other gods before Me.



That one?

 

[Hypoxia]

You shall have no other gods before Me.



That one?

Amendment, commandment, whatever. Note that {YHWH} didn't say other deities were false or non-existent, only that they shouldn't get first pick of the sacrifices and attention. Back then, folks needed all the divine help they could get. The more gods, the better. Sort of like 2nd Amendment morons believing that firearms are holy. The more guns, the better. Same thing.
