America Sucks

[TipTripTrap]

I never got the phrase grammar Nazi, Nazi itself is a colloquial phrase, shortened from National Socialist... seems an ironic phrase if you ask me.

Are you socially inept or just trying to make yourself look more intelligent than you are?

Really, it's simple. Nazis are associated by most people with fascism, WWII, government control, and Adolf Hitler. A grammar Nazi is someone who tries to control the way others speak because it's "the proper way".


On topic: I can't believe this thread survived it's first page.

Yes, but the thing is there is no "proper way", yes there is standard and non-standard English, but rules of English in both spoken and written word are broken all the time.

For instance, there is a colloquial phrase here in Britain for something seen as "not good" called "bag of wank", thus placing a verb in the place of a noun, quite ridiculous really.

And no I'm not socially inept, and no I do not have to appear intelligent, I know I am.

If you can't appreciate sarcasm, I find it quite ironic you'd be so critical lol.

It does seem sucky, but then again since when has something sucky stopped it being "popular"?

[Palem]

The topic sucks, but the guy straight up admits he's trolling. Come on, don't take it seriously.

Where did I say I was trolling?

I said people were bashing America in one of the Bugs/Suggestions threads so I wanted to give them a more appropriate thread to do so.

[TipTripTrap]

I do not have to appear intelligent, I know I am.

Ok, so with your intelligence you've realized that the best way to make your thoughts understood is to express them simply and clearly, right? Are you concerned with being intelligent or convincing others that you are? Oh, wait... let me rephrase that.

When describing thoughts on a social matter, indeed any matter conceivable you should endeavor to keep your position clear and concise. The express simplicity of your position is of indescribable importance, lest the overcomplexity of the said statement overcome those whose minds are not organized in the same manner as your own. This realization is a true measure of an individual's mental capacity and the thought is often incomprehensible to those overtly concerned with their intellectual appearance in the eyes and ears of others.


Is that better?


@palem:

It was ment to divert political bashing of America out of the Suggestion forum (or bug forum, I forget which one)

Pardon me if I'm mistaken, but that implies trolling. You're trying to draw attention and flames.

[Palem]

Not quite no. Trolling implies that you are trying to ignite posting by saying/doing something that you know is going to rile people up.

I had no intention of starting a discussion because the bashing was already started. My goal was to have it be put in a more appropriate forum.

[TipTripTrap]

That my friend is a very fine line. You do realize that by creating a new thread you added to the flaming and indignation?

[Palem]

That's debatable. Once I made the thread, the bashing in the incorrect thread came to a halting stop.

[freemehul]

I don't hate the United States of America, in fact I love the country. I have family and friends who live there. Just because it has people in it like Palem, doesn't mean that every U.S. citizen is bad. I know that people like him do not represent the majority.

[Palem]

What's so bad about me?

**** off you trolling piece of ****.

[Thongs]

Nothing wrong with America. The only thing that can be complained about also counts for other countries: Politicians. And bankers, the greedy no good scumbags.

But sore loser Americans on the Xbox do suck :P

[allonons]

LOL,xbox. God bless America!

I agree with freemehul.

[olAllan]

lol this thread is still up. Some pls......

[TipTripTrap]

Freemehul, I still love you in an entirely homoerotic way.

I want your ass. Bad.
