    Oh boy here we go!
    Never said it was. Working towards financial gain is perfectly fine, so why should you guys all be butthurt that I said this is what many Americans do? Unless you're the one who thinks its evil, then its really not a problem. But is it really that much of a stretch to think that maybe people who will never have these opportunities in their lifetimes would be mad that some of this abundant money isn't used to help them out of their piss poor military controlled shitholes?
    And then again, there are many that don't. Did anyone read that article I posted on Stephen King?
    I certainly don't, although I can see why others would, especially when it at least seems like we make all our interventions for resources (ie. oil).
    Never said it was, but it sure would be something we should do, and should continue doing, instead of thinking there is no one else in the world besides us.
    1.) We are not Europeans, or yurotrash as some Americans might call them.
    2.) This is not the 1800's
    3.) We are not imperialists
    4.) We are not run by a royal family
    5.) We champion democracy and freedom
    6.) Not all of us are assholes

    I despise the European imperialistic period, and I hope with all of my heart and soul nothing like that ever happens again.
    1.) It wasn't really a stereotype, we all know its true and its simply an observation
    2.) I'm pretty sure if I said that in the streets of New York, I'd be fine, but I fucking dare Kali to say "lazy eyed inbred yurotrash" on the streets of Paris or Berlin. In other words, it wasn't offensive.
    3.) If you didn't notice, I specifically said "most Americans and Europeans", just so you realize. All first world countries do this, and its not the best of things to do, in my honest opinion, but its certainly not evil.
    4.) You also took it right out of context, next time post the entire thing, like I do. You will notice I barely ever cut anything out, and instead of arguing small points of semantics and ad hominem, I answer the entire post. Unless of course, you have filled your post with absolute bullshit, like some members of these forums do and have done.
    I completely agree, but even Kali himself has admitted he fills his posts with ad hominem and bullshit rhetoric.
    I'm here not because I can't agree with Kali, but because when I see absolute total bullshit like what you just posted I just can't wait to respond. Also, perhaps you could stop with the religious rhetoric, jesus christ I feel like I'm talking to a kid.
    You know bloody well what he meant.
    Also:
    [quote = "From Wikipedia"]Race is a classification system used to categorize humans into large and distinct populations or groups by heritable phenotypic characteristics, geographic ancestry, physical appearance, and ethnicity.

    An ethnic group is a group of people who share a common ethnicity. That is, its members identify with each other through a common heritage, consisting of a common culture, including a shared language or dialect. The group's ethos or ideology may also stress common ancestry, religion, or race.[/quote]

    I would say Europeans are an ethnic group, and that would mean discrimination against Europeans can indeed be called racism. See, I can argue semantics too, if you'd like.

    Fixed.
    No one should be mocked for thinking and saying something. He was not in the wrong saying what he believed, and the fact that you jumped on him shows you are very clearly prejudiced against Europeans, whether for reasons of race, culture, politics, or your just an arrogant American student.
    I have never seen mustachio or any other European on this site claim to be more advanced or civilized than America. In some things, the Europeans have the upper hand on us, and on others, we have the upper hand on them. For instance, in science, the Europeans are much more advanced than us, and I believe in energy efficiency as well. But, in terms of economy and military, we clearly have the upper hand on them. I really don't see what's so hard in admitting your country isn't the best at absolutely everything it does, and this goes for both Europeans and Americans, as well as anyone else.
    And you're damn skippy I'm gonna be rude to the kind of asshole that's absolutely prejudiced and hateful towards everything un-american. You're the type that's the reason why everyone else thinks so badly of America. And I don't fucking care what you think, because it most certainly does matter what the other 6.5 billion people on Earth think about us.
    I like it because it is still a small forums, I can't wrap my head around the 500+ page threads on alternatehistory.com.
    He speaks better English than some native people I know.
    I think he can say a bit more than that.

    Irony.
    No, he's clearly not. You're clearly one of those types that finds the notion that Europe is a place that is in fact better than us in some ways absolutely unbelievable. Which is a flawed outlook.
    Fucking irony.
    You act like you haven't said worse things on this post alone.
    Racism doesn't have to be physical, and its certainly not just against blacks.
    And you can whine some more that a European might dare to hold an opinion on one of our rights. While I disagree and I believe that the second amendment is certainly a good thing, I can see where he's coming from and I'm not going to belittle the guy for having an opinion contrary to mine.
    If you bothered exercising your eyes and reading one of my above posts, you would know I was referring to another thread, not this one.
    Explain, instead of using third grade argument techniques. Hell, my nine year old brother has better arguments and grammar than this.
    Feelings mutual.
    You screwed up your quotes. I didn't say that, I believe Melan did though.

    Yay! I actually finished this long ass post. Have fun completely ignoring it Kali!!!

    Did I ever say my religion was the best? "Whatsoever" is one word. No shit, there are other religions other than the Monotheist ones. You are the one to tell me I haven't attempted to argue, you just fucking sat there spewing hate at me.
    You can't provide evidence why religion should be teached alongside Evolution. That is utterly impossible. I never said anything about complaining and whining. You just assumed that because I like several of Kali, The Shaw, and Demondaze's post which had that in them. Wait so persecution is just okay, and I am supposed to ignore that.

    You are the one to talk about posting bullshit? Almost everything you post is bullshit.


    I would say Europeans are an ethnic group, and that would mean discrimination against Europeans can indeed be called racism. See, I can argue semantics too, if you'd like.[/quote]


    DAMN IT! A FOREIGNER IS NOT A FUCKING RACE! Seriously, how can you translate foreigner to European? God, I feel like I am arguing with someone without sense.

    Im not in the debate about that and if I was, I wouldn't be trying to prove that.
    You are complaining and whining right now. And you obviously have no idea what persecution means. If this is persecution, then just about every medieval christian that was ever on this planet has persecuted pagans.


    Personally, if I were to believe any religion, it would be the ROman or Greek religions, because it makes more sense to have a few hundred gods, than one god who apparently can't tolerate anyone who disagrees with him.

    The hell are you talking about? I'm not the one spamming videos and one word nonsense...just because you disagree with me doesn't make my posts bullshit. However, the "bullshit" I was referring to was the shit about "yurotrash", which really pissed me off because I hate arrogant fucking Americans like that, it makes me wish I live in Europe, which I'm sure is horribly blasphemous and makes me a terrible person.
    When he said foreigner, we all know he met European. And yes, all foreigners are part of a different race than Americans, specifically because they live in another country with another culture. Meaning, racism against foreigners is racism.

    Hmm.. I just remembered what this thread was originally about, and so did the quiz.

    [IMG]
    Conservative/Progressive score: 8
    You are a social moderate. You think the progressive movement is overall well meaning, but sometimes it goes too far. On issues like abortion and affirmative action, you see the negatives of both extremes on the issue. You probably value religion, but at the same time you think it should still stay separate from the government

    [IMG]
    Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 10
    You're a Social Capitalist, you think that, left to its own, Capitalism leaves a lot of people behind. You think that Health Care should be free to all, that the minimum wage should be raised, and that the government should provide jobs to all that are capable of having them. You likely hated the Bush tax cuts, and believe that the middle class has gotten poorer, and the rich have gotten richer over the past several years. The far extreme of social capitalism is socialism.

    [IMG]
    Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 8
    You're a Moderate. You think that we all have certain inalienable rights that must be protected, but that sometimes laws need to be made to protect the majority's lives or quality of lives. You might think that the 2nd amendment isn't necessary anymore because letting everyone a gun is extremely dangerous to the community. You might also be against illegal drug use or public pornography because of its possible harmful effects to society.

    [IMG]
    Pacifist/Militarist score: 2
    You're a Pacifist. You are angered that the United States thinks it should dominate the world through its military force. You think that the only time war is necessary is when we are in direct danger of being attacked. You also believe the US spends way too much of its money on defense, as we can practically cut it in half and still easily defend ourselves, and use that money to fix all our economic problems.

    Overall, you would most likely fit into the category of Democrat

    Greatest. Response. Ever.

    Edit:
    However, before anyone calls me on my lack of contribution, I have this to say:
    I like how many Europeans, whom have, at times, complained about how oppressive the US government is to fringe groups (socialists, communists, anarchists, etc.) would denounce the United States Constitutional Amendment that was made specifically to allow the people of the United States to, if necessary, apply forceful pressure against a government which they felt was tyrannical.

    It's not an argument technique at all. It's an insult. Your post was thoroughly retarded enough that I did not consider it worth the huge effort it would have taken to tell you all the shit that was wrong with it.

    Unfortunately, you're just wrong.
    yep

    If its not worth the effort to have a legitimate argument, then get off the thread, we don't need you to put in your unnecessary and unhelpful insults.
    How can I be wrong about my opinion that you're a terrible troll and very immature?
    Do you really think that the US government would protect my "right" to engage it open armed rebellion against said governing body? I think the second amendment is necessary, but a few armed rifleman aren't going to do jack shit against the US government. Peaceful protest is what that part of the Constitution means, and I was under the impression we didn't need guns for that.

    Wow, you proved my point exactly.
    I can't believe my post was beyond your reading comprehension.
    Cool story bro.
    What are you smoking son? If so, where can I get some?
    I don't think you know what the races of the world are. I will tell you them: Mongoloid, Caucasoid, Australoid, Negroid, and Capoid. I don't see FOREIGNER in that list.

    You believe in one you idiot so obviously you think that one is the best. If you don't then you have some really big problems with your logic. Your defense to everything is I was mean to you , pathetic. I've been making points all thread, maybe I should make a montage for you? Easy comprehension and all that.

    Also, your childish melo drama makes for a good sig LOL

    No, of course not, that wasn't what the 2nd Amendment was intended to do. It didn't give citizens permission for violent rebellion, but it did, however, provide the citizenry with a means of access to the weapons necessary to oppose a tyrannical government. It was a bold statement of assurance in the government they were crafting, that it would be so well designed that they would be comfortable with giving the people an ability that was denied in England for fear of rebellion. The arms that the Amendment provides are not to beat the US government, but to get the supposed rebellion off the ground. Supposedly, the idea was that the people could use those weapons to secure professional ones from government armories.

    No, I just see it as convenient, to go to Mass for this one. Making points about what? That you are an asshole? That you can't allow someone to think differently than you or else that means they're an idiot. You sir are the one that is childish.

    I don't think that John Brown is a very good example for:
    1. It wasn't really a revolt, more like just killing the opposing view.
    2. He used swords, like a badass.
