[OT] I hate being American

I hate being American. Yes, it's true. I love our country, but hate it at the
same time. It isn't because of George Bush, no, it's because of us. Us, the
overweight, pompous, arrogant population of America that takes a crap on
every country and expects them to clean it up.

Why couldn't I have been born in England, or Sweden, or Germany, or Italy or
something?

It's your own choice whether you are overweight, pompous and arrogant,
take a crap on every or your own country and expect others to clean it
up.

And that holds whether you are born in the U.S., England, Sweden,
Germany, Italy, or anywhere else.

Solution:

Step one: Leave country
Step two: Enter U.S. consulate in foreign country. Renounce citizenship.
Step three: Spend the rest of your life as a refugee, because the US
will treat you as the next best thing to a felon and no
other country will want you.
Step four: Have nice day.

Solution:
They don't want you know and didn't want you then.

That is, I believe, pretty much the definition of neurosis.

It isn't because of George Bush, no, it's because of us. Us, the

Yep, definitely neurotic.

As a World citizen, I think that you represent NOT a minority of sensible
citizens of the all powerful USA with its immense stockpile of (and
presently being used) weapons of mass destruction. The use of such and the
after-effects exceeds the recent earthquake!

You may be unjustly accused by some of your fellow citizens of being
unpatriotic. But patriotism is not enough. (Nurse Edith Cavell, executed by
firing squad, Belgium, 1915)

I sincerely thank you very much for voicing your views. You give me hope for
the future.

So you'd be happier living in one of those countries being crapped
"on"? What are you really saying here? Seems to me that you're a bit
philosophically challenged. There is nothing noble about being crapped
on, nor about crapping on others. There is nothing noble period, other
than one's personal agenda.

It would certainly be nice to live in a less crappy world, but when
people value their lives more than their state of affairs in it, then
they are liable to get crapped on by those who would rather die than
to be crapped on themselves. People crap on each other at every
opportunity, that's what people do. If you aren't dishing out crap to
others, then you're taking crap from others. It's a conscious decision
to be a giver or taker of crap.

A recent winner of a one million dollar lottery related on the news
that she had let her friends and relatives bilk her out of the entire
account. That's real love and concern isn't it? Do you think that they
cared that each of them had more of it than she did in the end? How
many of them do you suppose offered to return the money that she gave
out of concern for them? Ha-ha. Truth is she was never concerned about
them either, she was just lying to the world in order to save face,
scared that she'd be perceived as, gasp, selfish. Joke's on her. The
resentment was plainly distinguishable, and its only possible source
was her reluctance to give it in the first place. That's what morality
is good for, its a tool that others use to screw you in the ass.

There are no sidelines to take refuge in other than complete
isolation, which is crappy in its own particular way, not to mention
that fact that all of nature is also looking to get a piece of you,
literally. Insects and wild animals will take a bite of you without
second thought, they don't give a crap about you, would just as soon
you were dead so that the pickings were easier. Even the trees and the
grass that you probably think of as personal friends of yours are
patiently awaiting you're transmutation into fertilizer.

Life is suffering.
All suffering is caused by ignorance.
Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance.
--Buddha

If there is a god, then he probably gave us the benefit of the doubt
that we'd figure out early on that there isn't one.

Actually, it isn't a majority, but roughly 40% according to last figures
I saw...still not inconsequential fraction.
