Embarrased of being American?

Name: Anonymous 2007-12-04 3:08

Hear me out before you start flaming, please.

So many negative things have happened with the Bush Administration (the war, his cowboy politics, etc)... and then of course the whole obesity thing -- we're the fattest country on the planet. I mean you could trace some pretty fucked up shit that America has done back to the atomic bomb and slavery.

Anyway, whenever I visit another country and see how they perceive the US... I can't help but feel somewhat ashamed/embarrassed. I mean of course in reality it'd be foolish to accept responsibility for any of those things, personally (I'm not a lazy, fast-food junkie; I didn't vote for Dubya, etc), but it still makes me uneasy about the whole idea of being an American. Sometimes it's like I just wanna' get the fuck out of here.

I want to know if any Americans here share the same sentiment.

No. You're a spineless coward who bends effortlessly under the skillful hands of popular opinion - A sheep.

Bush protects America from the terrorists! If not for Bush, what are we supposed to do? Sit on our hands and wait for them to steal our nukes to nuke us?

How does one not be a sheep? By not doing what everyone else does? What about all the other people trying to not be sheep - You are a sheep along with them. It's impossible not to be a sheep as long as other people share the same views and ideas as you...

You're an idiot, if it wasn't for Bush you wouldn't have terrorists attacking you in the first place.

The problem isn't just America - namely, the juridical abstraction that is the USA and everyone it contains.

It's deeper. The problem is Americanism.

Look at the so-called American Dream. Although its meaning is obviously contested, we're probably on safer ground when we discuss what that dream is not about. It's not about being the best person that you can be, or about trying to help the worst off, or about any kind of self-sacrifice or authentic communitarian spirit. Generally, it's about individual prosperity. It's about accumulating as much material wealth as possible.

That's what it means to be 'American'.

It is funny how Americans always have to mention 'freedom' while they definitely have less of that compared to pretty much any other developed country. Just look at this press freedom list:

If you know history, there's nothing to be ashamed of being an America. This is, of course, not guaranteed among Europeans.

In my opinion, true Americans are the natives who's land was stolen from the English.  So, all blame can be on Englishmen in the states.

I live in the States and I have no relation to the English, except for linguistics.  I say no blame on me because of what another's ancestors did.

Just cause I was born around a bunch of rednecks doesn't mean I'm a redneck.

And most Americans forget they are immigrants deep down, and pissing on a kid born in the states from a mexicat is just retarded.

All of you wannabe Eurofag Americunts make me sick, so what if our president is a dumbass? Why should you be ashamed about being born in the greatest country in the world? (In before petty Eurofags flame me for pointing out the fact that every country in Europe is a shithole)

Last time I checked, Europe was a fucking dump. Now Europe's a fucking dump with millions of violent sand-niggers running around and shitting on everything.

America is the greatest country ever, leftard.

No, seriously though, don't say the nuke was fucked up. If someone shit all over you the way Japan did to us, and you had a way to completely ruin them and make them beg for mercy just by sending a plane over there to drop one bomb, you'd probably do it too.
