So why does being a patriot mean blowing things up?

micro_dot · 10-02-2011 12:34AM #1

Been thinking about that today.

Why does being a patriot mean blowing things up? We've made a mess of things with absolute passion. Being Irish seems to mean destruction. Makes no odds if you've been to private school or not. Going to private school means that the whole country was raffled in one go, not the small scale whackery that previously went on.

Somebody comes into your country, takes your land and rights away, why wouldnt you want to blow them up?

It's all about the 27 virgins that awaits you.

no, being a patriot means anti-semetism and receding hair

Capt'n Midnight · 10-02-2011 12:42AM

No way man

you're blowing it up out of all proportion

KeithAFC · 10-02-2011 12:43AM

Don't know.

Badgermonkey · 10-02-2011 12:44AM

OP, that's like a jazz rant.

Makes little sense, hard to follow, but its kinda groovy.

Nobody has come into your country and taken your land or rights away.

It's what they were designed to do

It was the explosive warhead that did the damage

You need a scottish football jersey to be a true patriot in Ireland

I presume he's talking about the British empire raping Ireland and the Irish all those years ago.

Personally I thought this was going to be a thread about Americans.

Tell her to close her eyes and think of ireland first :pac:

I must not be patriotic though as all I do is accidentally make things go on fire that werent meant to.

I think Bill Hicks puts it best:

Here's what you can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defence each year, and instead spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, for ever, in peace.
Bill Hicks

Instead of fighting over who owns what and all the bullcrap, how about everyone gets a share and we go fcuk around in space together.

It stinks, so it does make scents.

It's usually brainwashed twits that do the blowing up, the armchair generals are usually directing things from where they are nice and safe.

Or subject her to a spot of motorboating in as patriotic a fashion as possible

The f*cking around bit sounds interesting

I'm still confused by the opening post. Perhaps it was clearer before the clarification.

Dravokivich · 10-02-2011 10:50AM

its not patroitism, it's a stupid grudge.

So why does being a patriot mean blowing things up?
