This is going to be a short post, short and not-so-sweet. My agitation has reached more heights recently, and I say more and not new because it’s pretty much the same LEVEL of agitation as everything else I am agitated with, so to speak. There's just more of it.
America.
No no, NOT America. People, stupid, stupid people, constantly WHINGING about America. Look, I know there’s Freedom of Speech and all, but I’m willing to bet that if the AMERICAN founders of that ideal knew what the kind of shitheads that would take advantage of it, they would have expelled it from the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights that AMERICA actually has. Come to think of it, they would have amended it: Freedom of Speech for people who AREN’T stereotyping, spiteful nimrods. Who complain even though they don't have a Bill of Rights.
I know this isn’t news or anything, but seriously? SOMETIMES, STEREOTYPES AREN’T REAL! That’s right: THEY’RE NOT REAL! And yes, the country of my birthplace has done many, many stupid things, and continues to do stupid things, and will most likely forever do stupid things for all of eternity. Newsflash: SO WILL YOURS.
Sure, go ahead and diss America all you want, any publicity is good publicity, right? But do me a favour – look at your OWN country once in a while, too. I’m sure you will see that’s it’s *not* perfect. And neither are you, AUSTRALIA.
Also, it might be an idea to pay a little attention to the positive things America has done – we just granted asylum to a woman who was escaping horrific abuse from her husband, thereby setting a new benchmark for domestic violence and refugee status; we have some of the most intelligent people in the world performing breakthrough research every day; oh, and our president? HE’S BLACK. Equality, 1!
Half of me wants to laugh that I am defending the country I spent so many years trying to escape, but guess what happened when I DID escape? I realised that EVERYWHERE is shit!
Maybe I’m just being sensitive. A loud, sensitive, opinionated American, who has many bad things to say about your country but won’t because you now what? I know that if you don’t have anything nice to say, then SHUT UP.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to buy a gun at Wal-Mart and grab me some Kentucky Fried Chicken!

Americans are easy to pick on because generally you are civilised and educated people with lovely manners. The Scots do this to English people who move there. My mum (who is American) still to this day gets subjected to this carry on. You are not target practice. Sweetly smile & comment that it is amazing how many people are subconsciously racist about Americans. Folk hate being called racist.
Oh, I totally agree with this. I am so bored of people being anti-American simply because the Green Left Weekly tells them to.
I read a really interesting article about this phenomenon called 'The Paradox of Anti-Americanism' a few years back.
It is kind of like Israel, no matter what you do people are going to have a problem with it. Sometimes without any modicum of rationality.
