Am I a BAD American?

[Joel]

Am I a BAD American?

I like big cars, big boats, big houses, and naturally -Great Legs.

I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some
middle-aged governmental functionary with a bad comb-over who wants
to give it away to crack addicts squirting out babies.

I have the right not to be tolerant of others because they are
different, weird or just piss me off.

I believe that if you are selling me a Dairy Queen shake, pack of
cigarettes, or hotel room you do it in English. As a matter of fact,
if you are an American citizen you should speak English. My father and
grandfather shouldn't have to die in vain so you can leave the countries
you were born in to come here and disrespect ours.

I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you're
running from them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand
the word "freeze" or "stop" in English, see the previous paragraph.

I know what the definition of lying is.

I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you qualify
for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans, etc.,
so you can open a hotel, c-store, trinket shop, sex shop or any other
damn thing.

I believe no one ever died because of something Ozzy Osbourne, Ice-T or
Marilyn Manson sang, but that doesn't mean I want to listen to that
crap from someone else's car when I'm stopped at a red light. But I
respect your right to.

I think that being a student doesn't give you any more enlightenment
than working at Blockbuster or Jack In The Box.

I don't want to eat or drink anything with the words light, lite or
fat-free on the package. I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor. I
know wrestling is fake.

I've never owned or was a slave, and a large percentage of our
forefathers weren't wealthy enough to own one either.

I believe a self-righteous liberal with a cause is a lot more
dangerous than a Hell's Angel with an attitude.

I own a gun, you can own a gun, and any red blooded American should
be allowed to own a gun, but if you use it in a crime then you will
serve the time. A rubber band and a paper clip is a dangerous weapon in the
hands of someone with malicious intent.

I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and
continue to make more. If it pisses you off, invent the next operating
system that's better and put your name on the building. Ask your political
buddy who invented the Internet to help you.

We don't need more laws. Let's enforce the ones we already have.

I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes
a parent with the balls to stand up to the kid and spank his butt and
say "NO."

I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please
don't pretend they are a political statement or force me to look at them.

I didn't realize Dr. Seuss was a genius until I had a kid.

I will not be frowned upon or be looked down upon or be made to keep
silent because I have these beliefs and opinions. I thought this country
allowed me that right. I will not conform or compromise just to keep
from hurting somebody's feelings. I am sick to death of "Political
Correctness".

I'm neither angry nor disenfranchised, no matter how desperately
the mainstream media would like the world to believe otherwise.

Yes, I guess by their definition, I'm a bad American. And Damn
Proud Of It

What!!! Wrestling isn't REAL!!!!!!

[The PIT]

Taking everything into consideration and taking the linearisation and quatum effects of the aforesaid statement.
Yes your bad American.

Only Kidding.

[bongo]

no Joel you're not a bad american; just an ignorant one.

(ps...You posted the question "Am I a bad American" and I am simply answering in my opinion. Will you delete me for expressing my opinion after you open the discussion...or can we only post messages if they agree with yours - which ironically would only provide more evidence that you are indeed ignorant)

[Rags]

Well, I would take that ignorant American up there over you any day Bongo.

You, sir, are a disgrace

I tend to watch what I eat (I do eat things that say "Light"), but EVERYTHING else is dead on, my views. I'm not so sure that this isn't my twin brother, and we were seperated at birth. If I had written it, I would have proudly signed my name to it.

Bongo is an idiot.

Wrestling is REAL...... Bongo said so...

[Liquid Snake]

My dad and I (to some extent) share the exact same views!

Bongo, if you read the whole thing, it says "Author unknown" at the bottom, implying that Joel wasn't the one who wrote this.

[omegaRED]

No. But i disagree with a couple of the points.

You have the right to be intolerant. That doesnt make you (him) a bad American, just a not-so-good person.

Every citizen of a country should speak & understand the official language of that country. If not, they shouldnt be allowed to enter the country ( to live there as citizens).

I do smoke Light Cigarettes, but not because they are low on Tar or Nicotine, but because i like them. Same goes for food & drinks.

Not everyone should own a gun. If a Schizophrenic or a convicted criminal got a hold of a gun, you can be pretty sure hes gonna use it. You could argue that they allready can get a weapon, but if you have no criteria about who should be able to own a gun, you are making it easier for them.

Dr. Seuss?

But come on? Wrestling REALLY isnt real?

ROTFLMAO! Now that was a good read. Perhaps I am a "bad" 'murican too.

[Sasq]

Nope can't see you as a bad 'merican.

Just remember people have a right to be intolerant of you too

And I disagree with the gun laws, I don't deny that you have a right to have arms, but a little tighter control might be an idea.

at the risk of taking this of topic, in my state in Australia to get a rifle license you need to attend a 10 week x 2 nights per week course on gun safety (and pass )before you can get a riffle, and be a member of a pistol club for 6 months before you can buy a pistol and then the pistol must be left at the rifle club. Also if you have a violent crimes record, you cannot get a license.

It doesn't take away the *chance* of someone getting a gun who shouldn't have one, but it reduces the risk

just my 2 yen worth

edit damn spell check checked too much
