It's a show of force.

Who do we call to take thugs with guns off our street? FYI, thugs with guns "Biggest street gang ever to be known" are the people in the photos in OP.

LOL,  I do see the concern about the militarization of our police as long as citizens only are allowed to buy single shot assault rifles!

Then you die at the hands of a bomber in a known location and you are an idiot.  I send in every fucking machine and armored man I can to trap the guy in a corner.  You do recognize the militarization was IN RESPONSE to the death of a police officer, right?


Thank you.

A nationalist loves their government. A patriot loves their home.

Huge difference.

I do. More of this:



and less of this:

I think the militarization of our police is a problem.  

How did we go about this before the militarization of our police?

Not even close.  I love America, the idea.  I love that I live in the ONLY STATE IN THE WORLD who allows people to posses marijuana and sell it for-profit through stores.  There is no place in the world like America.  In America we are TRULY FREE!

I dislike plenty of Americans, Bush and Romney among them.  But to compare me with a religious person is just uncalled for.


I didn't only see them in the OP I saw them LIVE ON TV!  What's your point?  I like the swiftness of our response.

how do you go about hunting madmen?  You have a better solution?

I'm still trying to figure out the comment about us not needing police...  I like having somebody I can call to take dangerous drunks and thugs off the street and place them in a cage.  

I have a method for making sure it has no say -- it's the same method that allows me to know it's still in there somewhere.  Same method allows me to admit when I'm wrong.

I see no crime done.  The only crime would be if I let that conditioning drive me around all day, I'd be miserable.  I would expect nothing less from any other culture.  Everyone is indoctrinated somehow.  It's really only our awareness of our conditioning that gives us any knowledge.

I just got online and this thread exploded!

So I see we have an ambassador of America with us


Unless you're willing to rationalize your love of an abstract idea that is "America" (for you cannot possibly love every single American in America, so your love must be directed to something which cannot understand nor express love,) you shouldn't call yourself a patriot.  Oh wait, nevermind, because the main point behind patriotism is the blind love for one's nation; e.g., love for something inhuman, so you couldn't possibly rationalize this emotion.  You can't ask a Christian to explain how he loves God, either; he just does.  He feels Him.  He worships Him.  He doesn't have to explain anything; all other points are irrelevant if they do not support his.  Who needs logic or reason when you can just say, "If you're not an American, you can giiiit out."  To argue with a patriot is to argue with a brick wall; the wall doesn't understand, for it is thick.

And before you ask: yes, I have been a Texan for all 21 years of my life.  Unfortunately for the US of A, their schools failed to brainwash me.  I'm going to assume you're considerably older than me--aaand from the looks of your profile, you are!  Now how'd I guess that? 

Curious: who'd you vote for?  Trick question, doesn't matter, same fucker either way.  But if I could make another educated guess: you voted for Romney.

So do we.

texas is one of the most awesome places in the world. (no im not from anywhere near texas) You guys probably have more libertarians per capita than any other place in the world. You get major cool points in my book for that. I think of you as the antithesis of california =P.

My condolences for the crime (indoctrination) that has been committed to you in your youth. If you're able to grow past that it will be a truly admirable accomplishment.

Interesting factoid about Nazi Germany: the concentration camp system used by the Nazis started during the early 1920's as internment camps for Gypsies.

I said google it, I don't remember the site, this was like 8hrs ago I looked at it.

That's the exact thing. I am wary of anyone who loves their country (aka nationalists).

Maybe this Irish song will help you understand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcj48HvL3us

But can you declare war on an individual, I don't think you can.

Also he has a lot more injuries then just a quick stitching. He is clearly very hurt and in critical condition according to the media. Remember HIPA, they can't fact check that cause it be against the law to have the hospital release his information.

It has more in common with Wiemar Germany at the moment, but you did see the tanks and ranks of military-geared police in the OP, didn't you?

I understand where both are coming from ....  I'm from Texas, I have nationalism ingrained in me doubly bad (texan/american/southerner).  I'm so conditioned I pretty much think the whole world could burn and Texas would be find because we are so fucking awesome.  The thing is, I have no idea why I think that.  I truly believe it and could give you some 'reasons' but it's just an emotion.  When I stop seeing through decades of localization/conditioning I realize the whole fucking world is awesome (even the shitty parts) and I have since intellectually called myself a world citizen, but emotionally I still want to stab you when you talk shit about us.  I've been looking into it and I'm not sure how to change it.

Edit: This was supposed to be about nationalism, not my emotional problems, but happy 4/20!  

P.S.: I'm going to make it to 420 posts today.

I'm happy to hear your opinion, but it is irrelevant as you are not American.  If you were an American, and you could be if you wanted, then your contribution to the way we run our country is useful.  Until then, unfortunately, it is just noise.

Come here and be with us and we'll let you vote.  Yes, I love America and I consider myself patriotic.
