arrogant american ass holes
when i was eleven our family took a trip to the west coast. at the time we lived in london, ontario and my grand parents lived in moncton, new brunswick.
after seeing a few of the sites in beautiful british columbia, my dad wanted to make the long drive back through the states. my grandmother refused at first but i managed to convince her that people in the use were friendly and not so much different than canadians.
that was a little over 30 years ago and i don't know if someone could convince me to take a trip through the state now even though i know most of the people in the states aren't so much different now as they were then.
at the end of the second world war, america made it clear to the world that they were taking control. they waited till the fighting had nearly died down, allowed Peril Harbour to be bombed to justify atomic genocide in Japan and made themselves the world police.
we've learn to live with the american way of life.
i have lived in germany the last nine years. though germany has been americanised, i am happy to have the atlantic between me and the police state country of bush and his war machine.
like many nonamericans, i think the twin tower story was another military strategic propaganda scam to justify terrorism against nonchristian nonamericanised lands. How israel works in, we leave that for when we have a little more time to talk about ‘novus ordo seclorum’ and what really goes on in the sewers of washington.
i was in my favourite ice-cream café today for a couple balls of ice-cream and a chat with the grand daughter of the owners. she's 16, and like it often is with ice-cream cafés in this country, italian. she speaks german quite well, her english is getting better and she's learning two other languages.
she told me about the american girls band that played in an open air concert in the market.
“they came and demanded to know what flavours there were.”
of course, as is the case with arrogant american ass holes, in english.
when she asked, “please speak a little slower.” they did. they talked very slow and very load, like arrogant american ass holes. so that one gets the feeling that they think you are stupid because you didn't understand their slurred american accent.
Hello miss america. you are in germany. in case you arrogant american ass holes don't know, in germany, the official language is german. speaking german does not mean one is stupid. Not speaking english does not mean one is stupid.
if you arrogant american ass holes travel to a country that speaks a language other than ‘american’, get a pocket dictionary and try to speak six or eight words of the language of the land you are visiting.
you are not the chosen race. it is past the time to grow up and wake up to the fact that your point of view is not shared by everyone on this planet. in case you don't get any news from outside your wall of missals, most people, even non terrorists, believe americans to be myopic arrogant ass holes.
arrogance is a sign of ignorance. ignorance is the enemy of survival.
wake up america before the whole shit house goes up in flames.
