death = patriotism?, cccccomeon Options

[Saeglopur]

Yeah .. It's kind of weird and very unsensitive of me to be putting up this thread but .. isn't it true? Like for example, September 11 - we weren't so patriotic before that and now look it's all, "GOD BLESS AMERICA!" and "I <3 AMERICA!"

It's like we all need reassurance so patriotism is where to go! WOO!

Don't yell at me and stuff ... I'm just ranting.

wurd.

patriotism is BS. they're just kissing the government's bum.

when somone dies, it reminds other people that they can die, aswell. then they try to do whtever they can to prevent it. 9/11 was a bunch of people dying and people being scared of their own deaths. so the bush administration said "be patriotic! whatever i do is right!" and people are scared enough to believe him. that's partiotism.

i agree.

for example, during WWII, when they put the japanese in the camps, because they could pose some possible threat, showed that you really cant just go along with whatever the government says for the sake of patriotism. people need to resist for anything to improve or for justice to occur

Some of the people in this thread just dont have a clue to what patriotism is.. Patriotism is representing your love for your country, where you were born and raised.. whether it's England, USA, etc.  I've noticed people in USA who dont believe in all this patriotic stuff dont know shit about history.  Go rent the movie Saving Private Ryan.. maybe you'll get a glimpse of what defending freedom is all about.  I"m sick of all these brats that sit on there ass and bitch about current events.  What does it do? Nothing.. and ryfitaDF,  burning a flag doesn't solve anything but make you look stupid.  I'm curious though, what country is better than USA in your opinion?  I know i'm thankful to be an american,  and some people in this country need to be too rather than bitch

oh no, not you again
