I'm a dane married to an american, and I am guessing it is all in the attitude.

Maybe my specimen is unique, but jesus, it's always:

"somebody's getting more than me, somebody's got this and I don't, somebody is getting this and I'm not, somebody doesn't deserve this and they're getting it, I have to pay for blah and they don't, why are all cars so small, why are all houses so small, why is everything so small, why is the food so small, why aren't anybody clapping, why is everything so expensive, why are people paid so much to do work, blah blah blah blah"

Like seriously, you guys need to stop defining yourself by your relative wealth to everyone around you, just chill out and enjoy life. America is huge, you have huge houses, you have huge cars, you have huge foods, everything is fucking bigger in america, but you still complain when you're there, and then when you get here, you complain that things aren't as big as in america. Maybe if you started complaining about shit that mattered.

JESUS CHRIST I KNOW

When I got put in a psych ward they thought I was insane because I kept talking about how I had taken Bodhisattva vows as a child.

That's because I had taken fucking Bodhisattva vows as a child.

They injected me with haldol and the nurse said it was "zolperidol". She meant to say "haloperidol". Zolperidol is a nonsense word, go ahead and google it.

They thought my reading the Greek of the Apology aloud to myself was me speaking nonsense.

But they're not dissatisfied with shit that matters, like working 12 hour days and getting paid 4$ an hour, working in shit conditions without any rights unless you get some glorious middle management job.

The country blowing god knows how much money on the military, I am not saying it shouldn't spend any money or that it's not important, but that in most countries at some point people have said "all right, let's think about how we're spending our money, and fix the problems we have in our own country with our sick and our poor", but that never happened in america.

It is truly the most ideologically conservative country in the world, where the notion that the country is an organism and everyone has their place and that place needs to exist, permeates through the society.

While I don't completely disagree with you, I resent the notion that a "cluttered" lifestyle is one that necessitates consumerism or a lack of creative talent.

How does gay's marrying affect you either? By your logic you cannot advocate on anything that doesn't affect you personally.

Maybe you liberals should try thinking through the rhetoric you have internalized so you aren't rampantly hypocritical.

I fucking hate America.

Advocating human rights makes me a liberal faggot, never mind that unlike America, I have 10 different political parties I can choose from.

The idea that somebody else's marriage doesn't effect complete strangers is "irrational hatred"

Believing clinging to conservative beliefs that the rest of the first world has already departed with, isn't a logical idea, instead it once again proves that I'm nothing more than a liberal faggot.

Y'all can suck my glittering, homosexual, immigrant cock, wrapped in a liberal arts degree and pissing social reform and free healthcare.

I don't even care. Maybe you're trolls, but this is for every dense motherfucker out there.

Good day to you.

It is clearly an abnormal sexual fetish, and if they were "born this way" then it indeed is a mental illness.

That's your problem. You don't push the limits, you are not pro-learning and of course, anyone with that demonstrates a higher form of intelligence and genuinly wants to discuss something a little more intellectual that the handegg match on TV last night is considered a "pretentious twat".

I disagree completely.

You can't just assume some plebeian that was educated by the American public school system read a book that isn't the Hunger Games or Fifty Shades of Grey.

It's completely acceptable to talk about literature and philosophy with people that have read it or you assume to have read, but OP started asking some Average Joe about Thoreau. Of course this nurse has never fucking heard of Thoreau: at most 3% of America's population has.

I mean it's okay to talk about that shit but it's just stupid to assume someone else you don't even know has read it.

I'm sorry to ruin your pansy utopia circle jerk here, but America is the greatest country in the world. We have killed the most people. We can kill the most people. We exploit the most people. We have the most control over other countries. At the end of the day, it's the bigger country that wins. Rome survived longer than Athens and has a more influential and respected legacy for a reason. Rome never cared for the homeless guy that smelt like piss, and it didn't think twice of enslaving some barbarian. Athens became too self-absorbed in its own ideals and utopian bullshit.

You might have read a few useless books, but at the end of the day we can and will kick your ass.
