living the american dream



october 12th 1492 colombus sailed the ocean blue...

& it's been drippin with the red blood of imperialism ever since!


let's celebrate

let's commemorate

lets commiserate


whether it's the dia de la raza (the day of the race) or columbus day, it's time to get yer gladrags on & join together to spread the word about how great it is to be an american.....

oh, did you not realise? we are all american now....



meet at next to nowhere: 96a bold street 11:30 this friday,

for a leisurely all american brunch of coffee & bagels, preferably dressed as either an american (famous or otherwise) or an indigenous person who has benefited under the mentorship of neo-liberalism .
(& don't forget folks indigenous just means 'originating where it is found' i.e. original inhabitant)

we will have access to the mighty dollar, & if we feel up to it we may want to go & distribute this wealth to the indigenous scousers who occupy habitats located nearby our vantage point....

This America you're meeting to moan about?

Is it the same one that pushed the Nazis out of France and back into Germany, and stopped the evil Soviet Empire extending over western Europe and the UK too?

Is it the one that based troops and weapons in Western Europe and spent billions of dollars protecting Europe from the evil Soviet Empire during the cold war?

Is it the one that stopped the slaughter in Kosovo by making Serbia behave, while all the governments in Europe did nothing?

Is it the one that bankrolls the UN, depsite not being over keen on the organisation?

Is it the one whose people and government provide gargantuan amounts of foreign aid, dwarfing the contributions of all other countries?

Is it the one that has doubled in population in 40 years because millions of people from all over the world can earn a decent living there and flock to it?

Is it the one that dominates the Nobel prizes in the sciences and medicine, making the world better for millions?

You'd be better off moaning about somewhere really nasty, like China. Or instead of moaning about anything, why not celebrate the end of the disgusting Soviet Empire instead, and the freedom that brought to many Eastern European countries?

Simon says, “we are nobbers if we support neoliberalism.” Yay!

“sarcasm is a concept that is familiar to me…” ooops, simon didn’t say!

Whatever it was, it's disappeared now. So the article authors ask for comments but delete ones they don't like! Only correct comments wanted, obviously!

You do seem a bit sensitive to criticism. Why provide a comments facility if you just delete comments you don't like? America has free speech. Is that another thing you don't like about it, and are going to moan about at you little meeting?

Deleted comments! Dull people don't like differing opinions. While you and your pathetic pals moan about the USA at your little meeting, the McDonalds of Liverpool will be doing their usual good trade!

simon

now, even i'm confused! & apparently censored!!!!

11.10.2007 23:38

are you the same simon?
does anyone get what tomorrow is about?
come along, explain it to me, there will be cake!

& maybe we'll watch more than 1min 35sec of that film....

or, you could stay in your lonely bedsit & mcdonalds will still be doing a roaring trade....
(as will: starbucks, burger king, kfc, coca cola, pepsi cola, gap, general motors, lockheed martin, microsoft, apple, esso, shell, texaco, oh, what's the mining company called, you know the one i mean, it's reeeeaaallly baaaaddd....)

Have fun

Why should I attend the meeting? My censored comments that have disappeared from here show just how you react to views you don't like. What a sad little group you sound - sitting around moaning about America in some pathetic attempt to shove the blame for the misery of your lives on to someone else. I see you hate imperialism, so instead of moaning about the US, why not celebrate the ending of the disgusting Soviet Empire in 1991, the downfall of which the US played no small part. If it wasn't for the gallant stand of the US people against that empire, you wouldn't be free to have your little meetings in Liverpool.

I fell into the trap

of being devided.The very thing the ruling class want us all to do.Instead of politely educating Simon to the facts i insulted him.I apologise.We end up fighting among our selves and the elite sit back and profit from us.Was'nt it JP Morgan who said "The working class.I'll pay half of them to kill the other".Taking his comment out just confuses everyone.can you put them back.
