Differences of Values? Or is it because they are just assholes?
February 12, 2002
I just read this. It’s basically about how Bush called Iran part of the new Axis of Evil (along with Iraq and N. Korea). In retaliation, Iranians are chanting “Death to America” and protesting and such and such.
Alright here’s my question: it’s ok to chant “Death to X” in many of these middle east countries right? We’ve all seen effigies of Bush burning in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, and all the other states that have been bombed by US as of late - so, is it ok to chant “Death to Y” in Canada or the USA? How come Canadians or Americans don’t hold parades where people have signs and burn effigies of the latest fascist and burn their flags?
My guess is that North Americans are too PC to do anything that demeans any particular group. It’s ok to demean an individual (ie. neighborhoods ganging up and stopping a convicted sex criminal from moving in, people make stupid webpages that bash a person, say a particular president) but not ok to bash groups (ie. gay bashing / anti-semitism / etc rallies aren’t very celebrated by society anymore). Of course, there’s also another possibility that these “troubled” countries just breed jerks. Or maybe they have so much progaganda that they become jerks. Maybe they think we’re jerks for not taking a stand!
My point from all this is: just shut the fuck up. No more shooting. No more bombing. No more hate.
My dream is to become the world dictator and force peace onto my kingdom. That will be my legacy.
