Obama: "U.S. Person"

[KRCummings]

In context it makes sense but you and your ilk don't really care about that, do you?

There is no such thing as an 'American citizen'. America is two continents, not a state. America stretches from Tierra del Fuego to Ellesmere Island. The USA is merely a part of North America. And not, geographically, the largest part.

So on this one, Obama is correct.

 

[KRCummings]

No, we don't give a fuck if illegal aliens and non citizens are being tapped.

That doesn't matter either, fuckwit. It's about what the NSA can do. But you just keep worrying about the uppity nigger. It's what you're good at.

That's an idiotic answer.

 

[mercury14]

That's an idiotic answer.

No he's right. There's no such thing as an American because no country is called America.

 

[KRCummings]

No he's right. There's no such thing as an American because no country is called America.

Being right and being idiotic are not mutually exclusive.

 

[Scotsman69]

Are you denying

that it's correct? What does it say on your passport? Assuming you have one that is. Most US citizens don't hold one.

That's an idiotic answer.

 

[mercury14]

U.S. person is pretty accurate. Or United Statesian... (?)

Nicaraguans are Americans.

Scotland stretches from the Queens asshole to the Scots nose.

No he's right. There's no such thing as an American because no country is called America.

that's as nitpicky as you could possibly get.

in the common vernacular, the english we all speak, American is the term used to describe a citizen of the U.S.

similar with "swiss", "dutch", et. al.

Most US citizens don't hold one.

is this a problem for you?

 

[KRCummings]

It's dumb because it's nitpicking and has nothing to do with anything. People call themselves American citizens. It makes no difference if it's technically accurate or not. Everyone is well aware "America" is a big place that covers many countries. Meaningless in this context. Meaningless in pretty much any context really unless we're discussing geography of the western hemisphere.

I'm not saying it's not common vernacular. I've heard people from the United States referring to themselves as Americans before.

Also people from Argentina regularly call themselves Americans.

Oh shut up with your BS minutia.

This thread you made exists because of BS minutia.

 

[mercury14]

How the fuck would you know, get out of town.

Funny how he knows though.

And you don't.

 

[Squibbs]

What a stupid old fuck vettebitch is.

What will the homo cry about tomorrow?

Obama: President of the world...but a politically correct dunce who can't run a popcorn stand, let alone the United States of America:


Out: 'American citizens'. In: 'U.S. persons'

Scrapin' the Outrage Cupboard pretty bare today, aren't we "marine"?

 

[KRCummings]

Nobody says US Person typically. Nobody. It's a dumb term. It may be accurate but that doesn't make it less dumb.
However he was saying it for a reason, because the NSA can't involve itself with domestic issues so the term actually applies more than just "American citizen."
By law everyone in the US should be safe from the NSA. It doesn't work out that way but that's how it's supposed to be.

US Personsgate doesn't quite have the same ring as umbrellagate.

 

[Scotsman69]

Just because many US citizens arrogantly call themselves 'Americans' doesn't make it right.

Yeah, you can stop being a dumbfuck now. Nobody cares.
