    It's no worse than Olé Olé Olé or The Fields of Athenry. It's hardly an American invention.

    Yes but it's mostly knuckle dragging morons who shout these things too, so it's the same thing really.

    Ned Flanders went to Oral Roberts University.

    That is all.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the handler loses his license. For the most part the Americans take the conservation of the bald eagle very seriously and technically it attacked a church so they may even pin some terrorist charges on the handler too.

    This display of freedom was an attack on freedom, 'Merica!

    I like to stick up for Americans and point out that it's a wonderful country (Britains best legacy to the world), with many wonderful people.

    But this is off-the-scale retarded.

    One of the stupidest things ever captured on film.

    I relly hope the eagle wasn't killed (and was taken off these numptees).

    The eagle probably had the biggest brain in the place.

    Not after crashing into that window.

    I wouldn't go quite that far myself. But the point is, whatever you think about patriotism, it goes on in every country, not just America.

    The best response I ever saw to 'merica bashing in a post was from an American on a UK site, to paraphrase:
    'yeah... this from a country in which a pediatricians house was burnt down when the Sun went an a name and shame campaign of Paedophiles....'

    Every nation has it's idiots.

    But the USA was the first country to give them prime time TV slots.

    I wish we hadn't followed their example.

    There's a link in the story that goes to a video of the handler explaining that the bird is ok and he has a bird with him.

    Have a look on youtube for "Fail Compilations" you'll hear accents from all over the world.

    The world is full of dumbasses.

    Still doesnt explain his logic in thinking releasing a bird into a room with a few hundred shouting people and huge windows was a good idea!

    being proud of your nation is jingoistic now?

    Being proud of your nation is fine if not a little naive. Chanting like a hive-minded fool at every opportunity is what's idiotic. What the hell does a captured bird flying around and panicking have to do with pride, nationalistic or otherwise?

    Those sort of mongs do it for no other reason than to conform to the groupthink. Not every single little thing in life needs to be greeted with outward displays of fcuking patriotism.

    Disappointed with that.

    I was expecting it to attack a student.

    What kind of retards chant USA! USA! USA!?

    I'll never understand that level of unthinking, idiotic jingoism.

    No wonder the eagle tried to kill itself.

    Only almost every sports fan ever at a national sporting contest. Worse still, look at all those people singing their national anthems. I dunno...

    Apart from that, yeah...nearly no one.

    The glass represents the laws that restrict their freedom. The eagle soared like an american, and then it hit the invisible wall that you only find out about when you hit it. And then they find out how fcuked that they are!
    Yep! That just about sums up the US at the moment, but it's not just the laws that nave an invisible barrier. World oil supplies are also limited but most Americans believe the propaganda that it isn't, they're in for a rude awakening in a few years.
