Who do you hate for their freedoms?


-Dawn (in an absurdist sort of mood today)

2. I damn you for your freedom to love!
Not really. I love you, too.

"They hate us for our freedoms" is just about the biggest lie every swallowed in this country, isn't it?

3. Yup. It's just wrong on so many levels.
I don't get how people buy into this bunk.

Well, yes I do. They don't think it through.

4. That's an optimistic view.
I'm afraid that they DO think it through and still buy that bullshit. :scared:

5. oh yeah? well I damn you for your freedom to damn me for loving!
:silly:

and you're right - it is scary how much BS people buy into, whether they are too distracted and busy trying to survive to think it through or they actually wholeheartedly believe the spin.

6. It's just so easy, y'know?
We are 5% of the global population but use half the resources -- NAH.

We meddle in other people's business constantly -- No, no reason to hate us there.

We export our shitty pop culture all over the globe -- they're probably grateful, right?

Our freedoms! Yes! That's why they hate us!!!!

People BUY this bullshit.....

7. You.
I hate you for your freedom to pick the name Walt Whitman and thus remind me of his bad poetry.

8. LOL!
Writing and talk do not prove me
I know perfectly well my own egotism
And my omniverous words, and cannot say any less
And would fetch you, whoever you are, flush with myself.

(Even if you wouldn't like it. :P)

11. Couldn't you be "Langston Hughes" or something?
Never been a Whitman fan.
