Oh, how I love my fellow Americans

[question everything]

look at this letter:

U.S. is Sodom and Gomorrah

How did the United States become such an immoral country? Answer: Men are no longer men.

As I switch television channels, I see women and young kids having what looks like sex; underage kids kissing on the Disney Channel. In the movies it's the same. I want to know how the men of this country can watch someone all over their wife or daughter. Is it the money? It makes me sick!

How about porn -- how can the government allow porn to be sold in this country? Or on the Internet? Are they serious? You mean to tell me it's OK for five guys to have sex with one girl? Does that sound morally right? How about infomercials? I turned on the TV about 5 a.m. and I saw two girls making out. Girls gone wild. Where are their dads? If that were my daughter, she would be dead.

This country makes me vomit; we should be ashamed of ourselves as a nation.

If men were real men, they would take their role. But I guess this country is just full of filth, and it's gonna get worse.

Lord have mercy.

1. He is the minority - he exists in every culture

Trust me. I've known many simple-minded idiots in my time from other countries.

I'm amazed he was able to manipulate the keyboard without opposable thumbs, though.

5. Murder seems to be okay in Amurika, but sex is

immoral. :shrug:

4. he is, of course, always free to go to some country where they value

machismo, and be a "manly man" instead of the "girly man" he is apparently afraid he is.

I wonder what a real man is supposed to be, and do about all these things? don't real men read porn, dream of having sex with multiple women, etc., etc. Real men don't sound like they are jealous because other people are "getting some" and they aren't.

of course, REAL men don't lie, and send tens of thousands of young people off to die in an illegal, unjust and immoral war. REAL men don't play "air guitar" while a portion of this country is drowning in Katrina and its aftermath. REAL men don't play religious politics with women's bodies. REAL men don't hide out in a champagne national guard unit for the sons of privilege, and then fail to do even that miniscule duty.

6. Sounds to me as if this guy's been spending...

... an awful lot of time trying to find reasons to be pissed at what he sees on television, without providing many specific examples.

I believe it was Margaret Atwood who said, "Stupidity and evil are the same thing, judging by the results."

7. Dear Frank Medici:

My lover and I are going to go do something unspeakable right, now, and dedicate it to you. I'm not sure just what, but he's making a pile of toys and kitchenware ready as we speak.

I called a few of our fk buddies to see if they wanted to help with this ritual magick, but you'll have to settle for just two of us. We'll be extra evil to make up for it.

Love and other indoor sports,

PS: If you do have kids, I wouldn't be surprised if he/she/they go out and do something you'd hate just to get back at you, since I can vaguely imagine what life with a one-D-minded waste of protein like you must be like.

PPS: Real men do NOT threaten, bully, and murder in order to get their way. And no real man would ever lay violent hands on any woman, least of all the daughter he is honorbound to love, cherish, and protect. And no, kissing another girl is not a danger. Though she might get a cold sore, I guess.
