*** You Are An American. ACT LIKE IT! ***
.
I think there are enough REAL Americans on this board that if anyone has a question about how to act like an American...you'll get an answer.
Let's support America. Let's help the 44th President of the United States; Barack Hussain Obama, take us on the journey that he has envisioned.

Bill, you need to add commentary of your own or else the threads get locked.

Sometimes the commentary is pretty clearly implied.

You have done this ten times today in ten different threads.
I encourage all others to report a poster who just posts claiming every thread is a troll.

I accept that what you just stated, in your mind, to be true.
Let me ask you to express just 1/10 of one percent of your mind's truth.
Just 7 of the promises that the 43ed President of the United States broke.
That way, you and I together can actually see how your mind is working.
I'll wait right here...

Many in here could learn from this....those who hate Muslims, those hate Christians, and those who berate anyone that has religious beliefs. As well as those who hate liberals/Democrats and conservatives/Republicans.
If this would happen the forum would cease to exist.

Listen, you can't attempt to hijack threads. That's the rules.
Unless you spam the board with a dozen threads at once, just posting threads doesn't do anything because if they are really troll threads they fall of the front page in minutes since no one posts in them.
In fact, going into a thread and claiming troll adds to the numbe of replies which is an indication of interest in the thread and show the thread is not troll.
You just mad about the election and are trying to censor anyone who talks about it.

That's a GREAT idea.
Report me.
Don't talk about it - just do it.
IT IS HALLARIOUS that those who have been told that they don't want ANY regulations ARE THE FIRST to hide behind and reach for regulation.
You are a coward and a phoney.
And you will be a coward and misguide phoney EVEN AFTER I AM BANNED.

LMAO!!! Even though Romney wasn't elected all the other people I voted for won. The outgoing Republican Senator was replaced by another Republican and my Republican Congressman was re-elected. However, you don't see me starting 30 threads to rub it in everyone's face like you.

When you post as much crap as you have in the last few days you are going to get called a troll.

Excellent post. The problem is that a lot of Americans who voted for Romney don't want to be Americans. They have unassimilated from American society and culture. The rest of us are Americans and we know how to interact with our fellow Americans and how to live in American culture and society. However, a lot of the white males who voted for Romney don't because they removed themselves from other Americans.
This is a serious problem. I don't think that carrying a sign like that fellow in the picture is going to be enough. This is a serious social issue, the de-assimilation of many white males in the US is the most serious social issue of our times.

While being able to function in a multicultural reality of today and get along with people of diverse backgrounds is certainly a positive and beneficial thing... please don't gloss over the fact that white males, more than any other group, built this country, both literally and figuratively. White males established what it meant to be American, along with white females of course. Other groups played a role too, mostly later on, but of course to a degree from the beginning.
White males are the single most important driving force behind the civilization that ALL people now enjoy. Consider the number of scientific achievements, technological developments... etc, which are attributable to white males.
Perhaps, just perhaps, it is worth considering that American society has been the thing to pull away from them, rather than the other way around. And that before pulling so dramatically and quickly away from the group that, more than any other, established what it meant to be America and an American, more thought should be given, more caution should be taken.
It has become VERY fashionable for the last half century or so to demonize white males, to portray them as the one group it's okay to throw stones at, but ALL groups have sins to atone for, barbaric violence, misogyny, war, tribal bloodshed, conquest, exploitation of the weak and vulnerable have been the order of the day since the dawn of our species. White males get more flak for slavery than any other group, but they were not the original practitioners of it, however they were the group who made the biggest, strongest and most productive push to eliminate it from the world. And made this push at a time when they were benefiting from it.
White males have shared the fruits of their technological achievements and cultural advancements with the rest of the world, and have opened their borders wide in every one of their traditional countries, USA and otherwise. Perhaps to a suicidal degree, that remains to be seen.
Of course, it's not so clear cut and simple... as I said, women played an important role throughout history, now more than ever (that's a positive thing), other groups were important to the development of western civilization and America in particular. But to deny that the group people now turn their nose up at, the white males, was the primary driving force behind these things... is to deny reality.
I'm not advocating for any mindset of white male superiority, I'm just advocating some humility in the face of history, and some restraint in turning our backs on it.

I do not have a difficult time at all. I helped get the first non-fully-white president elected by caucusing for him, donating to him, and voting for him in 2008 (not so much this year, I'm afraid, but still)
I have and have had black, asian, and Indian friends. Dated a girl who was Hispanic/black mix (or at least I think that's what she was, she was adopted and unsure of her heritage), and a very very Jewish girl too. I have valued all of these friends and/or girlfriends, and had no issue whatsoever getting along with people from backgrounds and groups very different from my own.
I have no issue whatsoever with homosexuals, and have had friends and crewmates on my submarine who were gay. Actually even before DADT was repealed (which happened while I was serving on said submarine) the entire crew was extremely tolerant of the 3 or 4 gay guys we had.
My entire life I have treasured and embraced diversity, only very recently have I started to consider that diversity and multiculturalism might not be ALL POSITIVE, it may have some negative side effects too, and may be worth INTRODUCING MORE SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY.
So, it is not that I have a problem moving in, communicating with, or assimilating to modern American society and it's diversity... not at all. I merely request that we not turn our backs on history, or demonize whites too hastily. Nobody begrudges any and all other groups/genders from taking pride in their identity. In fact, it's encouraged. I think whites, and white males in particular, have every right and every reason to feel pride too, and have a lot of accomplishments to feel proud of. I don't think this has to be accompanied by any sort of hatred for anyone else... nor should it be. I don't think white males should be shamed into guilt for what they are, or what their ancestors did. I don't think they should be the one group that is not allowed to be proud of who they are.
That's all, friend.

Yes, it's american to seek authority to suppress what annoys and irritates.
This man agrees.
