Fear of America.

I'm an American, and I hate what freedom's we've lost because of the 9/11 attacks. Their effectiveness is arguable at best, and the sensational reports by the media that suggest we still aren't safe are keeping American's afraid and urging them to support more stupid restrictions. Most American's don't realize that we are slowly allowing ourselves to become prisoners in our own country, and it terrifies me.
I think most American's are pretty legit, and won't kill or maim you for a difference in beliefs...but as is true anywhere in the world, some fundamentalist nut might do something stupid. The likelihood is small, and we're more likely to harm one of our own, but there's always the possibility.
That being said, the vast majority of us aren't THAT retarded that we would start eating people for being different, so you should be safe as a tourist.
Americans have more to fear from our government than most everyone else.

now i know retarded because i live in the south part of north carolina... and see some stupid shit all day. but most of the northerners are smart... except sarah palin, no matter how far north she is... i can see russia in my back yard my ass!
anyways we are all not that bad. just avoid bigots, neo-conservatives, and rednecks.
excluding them we are a nice country.
i cannot speak for my government though...
In the mid west, where i live, its mixed. I dont feel hate towards any foreigners but i do know people who really hate nonamericans. I just dont get it
I am still a bit puzzled on all the negative energy being thrown our way. Yes, some people are stupid here. But isnt that the same for all countries? Most people here are decent

OT: everyone i know seems blissfully unaware of whats going on oustide our area, but the ones who do and are somewhat wrong in the head are paranoid that both the american and other governments are out to make sure they don't know the truth
That's the entirety of your argument? Did you forget something?Stickman97 said:
Aby Z is right, it is hilarious. Are any of the people defending the south not southerners?
I once was pulled aside and searched and questioned. While the wrapped christmas presents in my bag were opened. Because some douche thought the die cast R2-D2 in one was a bomb.After wards they laughed and just told me to repack everything they ripped out of my bags.Kinda pissed me off but i guess it keeps people safe.
Lets see... Didn't capitalize your sentence. Or your I when talking about yourself. You didn't use a period when you should have. Between 'That' and 'Also'. You also needed a comma after also.The_Graff said:
If you want to wave your e-peen around over mistakes, I suggest making sure your post doesn't have any errors in it whatsoever first.
Your Country. The only country that bitches about spelling mistakes and grammar rules when they suck at it themselves.
Or could they be in fact...Mistakes?! Made by just one person, not the entirety of the country? Gasp, shock, and horror. Accidental mistakes. No no, They should be crucified for such horrific acts. How dare someone make a mistake. You are obviously a paragon of perfection.
Aside from your crappy knowledge of grammar and capitalization.
Now, going to an OT bit.
So this happens in London. Nothing like this has happened in America.
Why are you scared of America again?
Pretty much what I'm thinking. Yeah we are not going to kill you. We are not FOX news, or the KKK. I'm Christian but I'm not gonna shove it in your face.Halaxis said:
In reality, the only thing you have to worry about is the airports: the security here is a *****, seeing as they will pat down small children now. Everyone else is cool, though. Damn airport security...
Yes it does.jedizero said:

And these are just the NYPD. All within the past 20 years, and the combined amount of jail time served for all of them is 51 years.
No biggie. I really don't care about the conspiracy theories..My brain is rooted into the sciences. I need proof, and logic to deem it true. But far as I know, Oil companies haven't made much leeway into Iraq. Most oil wells are still owned by Iraqis and it should stay that way.blindthrall said:
