Originally by: Kalos Beila My vain attempt at intelligent conversation on the forum.
So what is the deal with this? Every day I see at least 1 topic that is derailed by the second page by a reply consisting of "Whatever you said + Americans suck = Why EVE is dying blah blah blah cigarettes!"
Is this just the latest tactic being used by the same old forum trolls or have Europeans been that dumbed down by the BBC (or whatever else) that they actually believe all the "Blame ______ on the other side of this particular ocean."
According to our news you're all a bunch of degenerate pig lovers with gigantic foreheads wearing top hats and magic wands too busy to defend against Communism because of tea breaks. According to your news we're all a bunch of bible thumping Mormon used car and motivational book salesmen waving American flags.
In case you haven't noticed yet, this is an issue of FUD on a global scale. As a liberal American I am used to tuning out this kind of bull**** but it leaves me wondering if many Europeans are actually buying into it simply because it is such a new phenomenon.
My tip to all is to ignore whatever you hear. If you ignore accents, regional customs (which vary just as widely within the US as it does outside) and government structure we are basically all the same. The new strategy employed by the news is to identify a group as a cause for your problems who are sufficiently far away that you cannot confirm or deny their claims. Its a cheap and easy way to get ratings and an enthusiastic and militant viewing audience. Everyone loves a scapegoat when its not there to defend itself. Don't be a fool and buy into Big Brother.
Text doesn't carry an accent and I think you will notice that many online publications would be indistinguishable from their US/UK counterparts if you ignore some proper nouns. I have read many web comics which I thought were speaking about local political and social issues only to find out its in an English news publication. You struggle with the same issues that we do.
P.S. As depressing as it sounds, it would seem America has taken an English idea (Big Brother) and found a way to make it profitable enough for global use. Welcome to the age of popular paranoia.
P.P.S. I am noticing a much larger proportion of infomercials hosted by British salesmen on television. You're invading us as much as we are invading you.
in a few words.. some troll blame americans for whatever moronic reason it does not make sense to almost anyone. ****ed american post back calling him stupid, clueless and spring some stupid yet useless patriotic statements (u communist ***, we saved ur arses from ****s, and bla bla bla)
So forum troll found a new way to **** off ppl in the forums, for the simple reason that it amuses them and american ppl will keep complainning doing OP like post to extent the new FOTM in forum trolling.
My tip just answer those with a ROFL fail troll, and you are done until they grew bored of it.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with 'til you understand who's in ruttin' command here. |
