    That's really not my problem, tbh

    Of course not. I wasn't placing it as your responsibility, just a general statement as to why I'm not posting more frequently.

    Still waiting.... Nope. Not mature yet.

    Hello.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,724 ✭✭✭mixery


    I watched it, very deep, emotional movie.

    For us it's great, but it's a type of movie that The White House uses to control it's nation. Anotherwords - propaganda.. I suppose who could blame them, right? They're just trying to protect the nation, they have so many enemies that they need to be extremist. They just do it very, very smartly.

    Anyway, I'll write a book about it some other day, most of ye would neither care, or understand.

    And please don't think I am a sick fuc*ed up psycho.. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,390 ✭✭✭Doublechinlolz


    Book about what?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,724 ✭✭✭mixery

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,390 ✭✭✭Doublechinlolz

    I get the impression you liked it then?

    I would love to hear an opinion piece on whatever it is you have to say about USA's politics, because it's so rare to see someone my age have developed opinion on such matters. And I agree, the USA has completely ****ed itself over in recent years, look what it has done to Russia, that imbecile Obama is just begging Putin and Medvedev to restart Cold War again. The White House constantly uses it's idealistic USA lifestyle as a propaganda itself, but perhaps it's a subject best left untouched, or posted in the politics section. It's nice to see someone with more developed opinions than "The USA is our friends, that's it"

    The idea they are "extremist" is a fallacy in this case. I hate how the country prides istelf as a country of fraternity and liberalism, and yet it time and time again makes decisions without any notion of moral guidance. I think you may be confusing extremism with something else, as this would mean that the United States allows little to no freedom with it's citizens, which is definitely not the case. Is it racism you are trying to insinuate?

    Again, if you just gave me a decent view from your perspective, I'd be able to properly respond to your ideas or theories. Definitely interesting though Mixery, for what that's worth, I will most definitely love to hear some opinion pieces from yourself, especially how the film evoke those feelings.

    Mark's repartee's? Can't really see any in this last page or so.....

    With a witty or snappy response, preferably giving away a riddle, metaphor, paradox, and a badly written pun.

    Or something along those lines.

    Phantom, I kind of knew you would have a say in the topic as well.

    By extremist I mean they are friend to everyone, but let's say they line them up, so they can be used when necessary. They will use whats necessary to achieve objectives. Perhaps Russia will be similar in 50-100 years. Now it has too much of an advantage over America.

    I'm a spectator of what happens in world politics, and I can't help notocing that America is becoming a little clumsy in it's actions, the most obvious example - Bin Laden.

    Also the American sense of pride is a problem. That's not an issue with Obama, because he's quite rational, but the people still think that they have an edge on Europe. Truth is they don't.

    And Wikileaks was pretty cool too, somethin like that could only happen to America, that embarassment, it was great:D.




    P.S: The movie was grand:D. Another point on it. There was a big boom for neo-nazism after it's release, I think the fascist party in Austria got support of 30% of population. Sick.

    Mark, things like that(smart, sarcastic comments) only work on facebook, bad call here.

    Or maybe my brain is slowly going to sleep and I'm missing out on something? :(
