Are American troops undisciplined thugs dressed as soldiers?

Now, perhaps their intentions are different, but their choice of wording turns it from a criticism of an administration into a verbal insult to Americans in general.

You are again correct, we all too often say America when we mean "the US government" or "the US military" or "US foreign policy" or "the inbred banjo playing egg shaped head big jawed gimp who just made that last rightwing KKK spoonfed post"*.

Every time you see me do that, call me on it. Especial since it gives somebutnotall people the chance to ignore the issue at hand and concentrate on rhetorical flag waving instead, something they already are practiced at and thus safer with.

"verbal" insults - in a typed forum? think boy, think! Its no fun if you make it this easy.

* if VPL gets his thong in a bunch and whines for 4 pages because he thinks i mean him - I refuse to take any responsibility for his persecution complex.

You see I’m worried. During the last couple of years it’s seems every time someone (be the Americans or otherwise) criticise the Bush-administration, they immediately gets accused of being Anti-American. Even if the criticism is valid.

To generalise wildly - at least in the UK, you always keep the pressure up on your government - and doubly so if you voted for them: because they are your responsibility.

Somebutnotall Americans see the election as such an US and THEM situation that when the "team" they support wins they support them no matter what. Sometimes it can seem like blind stupidity from "over here" - when I hope the truth is a little more complicated.

did you actually have a point to make with that post or were you just hoping Lil B would come in here and tell you that you're "fabulous" again?

But you're not as sharp as I would expect. I've also said "I've heard" a lot of times in this thread....and we both know damn well i didn't hear anything.

come on Zero, if you're going to sit here and jab at people, you might as well bring the right cross...

whatever zero.

please understand that i dont give a shit what you think of me,
because at this point i KNOW what i think of you.

i made a statement which was pointed out to be general, and thus misunderstood. so i corrected myself and apologised, because im above this overdefensive childish bullshit which you wear like a glove.

but you couldnt have it could you? doesnt fit your agenda of belittling others does it?

you know what you said, and you know what you meant.
if you're too much of an ass to know you were in the wrong than i pity you.
and i honestly hope that you dont have to witness such a tragedy you belittle in YOUR own back yard. honestly i do not.

and i refuse to believe that so many brits are as pinheaded as you. you dare to say that americans all deserve any attack for the actions of their government...well if thats the case then i guess you deserve to die for tony blair's support of the war? oh but thats DIFFERENT right?

i respect opinions zero, but i dont respect reckless insults.

Can I just say that I love that movie? Adam always gets confused as to why I watch that movie so much and then laugh at it. Maybe he thinks I'm sick.

You're entirely right...somebutnotall

and you're right, that is an very wild generalization.

Based on that choice of wording...it's safe to say

Somebutnotall British see the election as such a US and THEM situation that when the "team" they support wins, they support them no matter what.

Link, Im always hovering around Mr Z and his fabulousness. Same goes for The Omega.

Omega is fabulous.

The only thing fabulous about Zero is his ability to sling weak jabbing remarks at people by cleverly disguising them in his enigmatic usage of the English language.

He's good...I'll give him that much.

Which in translation means : ''Zero can beat my ass into the ground in an argument''

Either way - the whole generalisation bullshit is just that. I think Tex is fabulous, and not only is he American, hes also a Texan, oh the tragedy.

Heard can be used in the non audible sense. Verbal can not.

heard: "To receive news or information; learn:"
verbal: "Expressed in spoken rather than written"

and oddly enough -

Link: "slang term for a stool or bowel movement"

Well I never! And my point - was, if you read the post and try to not assume I was being facetious: that you are right. I will make a true and real effort to say somebutnotall somebutnotall of the time. You can continue to intentionally disregard my meaning if you like: thats all the effort Im prepared to make.

I think it translates to 'i dont like Mr Zero, he insults using fancy words to disguise how weak what he says is, but i dont and it still has effect enough to bother people, i rock, bring it on zero' 🙂

You just said generalisation is bullshit, so everybody who thinks all texans are bad because Bush is one is wrong. But people who think texans are great because tex is one are right?

Hey, im sure Bin Laden has some good party tricks, but that doesnt want to make me invite him and the rest of the Queda-Qrew over for dinner and tea.

There you go putting words in my mouth again. Grow up little girl. or was it....run along?

And what does Tex have to do with this arguement?

I am absolutely convinced that you dont have any idea what you're talking about. None.

For the last friggin time VPL, open a thread and I'll talk about 9-11 in it if you like, or continue to whine an make shit up about "things ive said" with nothing to back them up - but GET THIS: Im damned if Im going to get into it here. NOT going to happen. Clear?

The feeling is quite mutual 😊

Link - a video game character. 😖

Zero - One having no influence or importance; a nonentity.

basically a loser...Well I never. 😱

like I said. You rely on ploys like this to gain support from your little fan crew (wave your pom poms Lil)

I'm not even that intelligent and I can see through it. I'd hate to see what other people with real intelligence think of it.
