is it just me, or...

is it just me or does this forum make me feel ashamed to be a US citizen? it does for just me, so im just curious how this relates in any way to audio?

i'm just curious if any other US citizens on here feel the same way?

[SY]

No, what in the world would I have to feel ashamed bout?

[cowanrg]

oh, just the numerous "american bashing" threads around here...

[SY]

That's like asking someone if he's ashamed that he's black just because there are some six-toed bigots having a few beers over by the gas station. It's easy to be amused as long as you know that you can kick their @$$es without breaking a sweat. "Oooh, oooh! Hide! The Belgians are upset at us!"

[cowanrg]

haha. well, the germans do have their gas chambers and their hate for minorities and jews...

oh, wait, that's a blatent stereotype only an american would make, my bad!

The dead hand of history is heavy on all of us.

[cowanrg]

no one is perfect, no one person is any group of people, and no one person has the right to judge or stereotype a group of people.

may he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Cowanrg,

225 years of our way of life, not always right, but not always wrong.

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Be proud, they’re just jealous.

Strong words,
Kind of like, "When in the course of human events it becomes self evident that all men are created equal..."

Created by humans of great ideals. Jefferson, Hamilton and those guys were able to grasp the sum western thoughts on humanity and civilization, wrap them together, and focus them into documents addressing the unique needs and opportunities presenting the evolving nation.

These are perhaps the greatest leaders and thinkers known to our nation to date. They forged an unprecedented system of ideals, rights and opportunities. With these have come unprecedented individual and national responsibilities.

While the past success has often been countered with error, we are a nation that will continue to evolve and improve.

Its often convenient and opportunistic to snipe from within and from the outside... but much more difficult to actually face real problems and seek actual resolution, growth and achievement.

Fortunately it is the legacy of the founding documents that we will continue to choose the latter path. We will falter, and we will ere, we are humans. Inspired by the articles of constitution our destiny is that we will endure.
