Anonymous1: Why does it always have to be that shit American Flag? Shit corrupt country thats got the whole world fooled that they are the good guy. Bah!
Urbane_Guerrilla: @Anonymous: Well, you wouldn't convince anybody you're a good guy. Anti-americanism as a) stupid, b) bigoted too, c) totalitarian. Take your pick.
Urbane_Guerrilla: The nice thing about American society is that it is designed from the git-go as an anti-theft society: not even the Government is entitled to take your stuff; you keep your stuff. Societies lacking or weakening this feature are the reason you out there can't have nice things. Anon1 simply personalizes that reason. We're not interested in reducing anybody else's rights and liberties; to our occasional misfortune, you can see in history where we assumed somebody else was of the same view. When that proves not the case, we feel betrayed.
