Any idea that Obama is related to BP in any form is ridiculous. I posted the BP post to show racists events happening currently in the US. I didn't tie the two together. You did...

But you implied it. Whether you meant to or not, you did.
Having "Obama is Basically a Racist" as the title, then presenting evidence below, generally means you're supporting that thesis.It's only natural for us to draw that you're using the Black Panther thing as evidence that Obama is racist, as you provided it as evidence.

And we all know that's not true. Way to immature and bitter.

Apart from the fact that nobody should be proud of his/her country (and whatever that implies), US citizens aren't exactly in the position right now anyway.


Ah, wonderful. The communist globalists have gotten to you. No one should be proud of their heritage and country, right? It's nothing. Everything your country fought and died for is nil because we're all just "people", right? I'm not just referring to the U.S.A. here but anyone from any country who doesn't care about their country and heritage. There need to be less globalists like you in the world. You'll destroy the world's rich cultures and heritages for your globalist bullshit. Fuck you and I hope you rot in Hell. It's just so trendy nowadays to say that "I'm a citizen of the world fuck nationalism!!!!" God you people make me SICK!

YES LET'S ALL MELD THE WORLD'S CULTURES INTO ONE BIG POT OF CULTURELESS GOO! Fuck your kind.

Otherwise, I agree Obama's words were probably taken out of context.

Your such a fucking hypocrite, nothing ever said "You obey the country, regardless of anything.", people have the right to choose, they may not be right at times, but every nation has fucked up somewhere, you have a right to be proud of your country, or hate your country, nobody is entitled to like your/thier country, so get over it and stop believeing in the "I'm everything, look at me not him, worship me yes, you MUST, slaves." fad and remember the word "diversity", that should be enough to get you back on track.

..... What? That made about as much sense as Bush's re-election.

Anyway, back on track: national pride is a personal choice. Nobody is obliged to feel proud of their own country, and if you choose to focus on the more negative and/or brutal aspects of history, most people shouldn't be proud of their countries. Not even Australia, the party country. If you want to obey your country, it's really no different to obeying your boss at work. Company loyalty is no different to national pride, in essence.
I hope I am a good enough writer that some day dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom.

He takes on the "I'm all that" ideology, he thinks everyone should follow his ways, which he always does.

Last I checked, that's a pretty good description of what the United States is, except it manages to not be completely cultureless. Really, we do need to start realizing that we're all members of the same species, living on the same planet. We're inextricably tied to one another, and we need to ensure that we're not just out for the good of our individual country at the expense of the world.

Well, when it comes to writing an expository essay about counter-insurgent tactics, I'm of the old school. First you tell them how you're going to kill them. Then you kill them. Then you tell them how you just killed them.

The very first part more or less summed up my position, yes. Obviously it's not that simple, as nothing in the world is, but yeah.
Let me correct you on the rest though: I have absolutely no problem with people living out their culture, in fact I am a big fan of the world's cultures, it's something that fascinates me. So I guess I'm in favour of a totally multicultural world rather than a cultureless. One in which every culture has equal weight and rights though, because we should all be equal as well.

It's ridiculous always try to point out our differences when it comes to a national context, when in fact we're all just humans. National differences mean fuck all, except for the administrative details it implies. And it's exactly those artificial national/racial/religious differences that some people instrumentalise to keep or gain power. And a lot of people don't even seem to realise that.
I'm Swiss... so what? I haven't done shit to earn it, so why should I be proud? Of course I like the entertaining legend of how Switzerland was founded, etc., but if I look at the historic record, I don't see why I should admire a state which is basically the same as every other. I'm grateful for being born here because I got to grow up in stability, liberty, etc. But that's everything that matters, not that I'm Swiss and you are not.

Btw: I'd advise you not to flame me so directly, no need to give me a pretext to warn/ban you.

Theres rarely a problem with multicultural society as long as none of the cultures embraces violence and negative actions in some way. One popular example these days would probably be conservatives beating down their children for not following a strict, discriminating code of honor/decency.

such cultures are not meant to be spared and should be suppressed wherever they are found. Except for that multicultural society works pretty damn well.
