Is that what makes us unique? Or is it the "screw everybody else, who cares if they like us or not – we're #1" attitude?

Is having a KFC franchise wanting to be like us?

When I eat sushi, is that because I want to be Japanese?

What are we like, anyway?

As for dumbass thread, if so, why are you reading / replying?

huge numbers? GREAT! FABULOUS!

Is it a sound bite if it's just text? Hmmm

Oh and by the way... to get a sense of "balance", in addition to conservative talk radio I also listen to NPR and that piehole in search of more pie Laura Ingraham.

How many time did you listen to Rush Limbaugh last week? Just asking since you brought up "willfully ignorant".

You gotta bring more of that - that's they funnay right there.

gufah!

Maybe it's the whole plastic-fantastic look we have. Orange/tan skin, tribal tattoos (what tribe, exactly?) and Ed Hardy $90 tee shirts...

I bet you'd feed a lot of cannibals.

Me, not so much.

I'm sort of like a pipe cleaner made of organic materials, with a hard boiled egg for a head.

Do they want to be like that?

I have a hard time believing that the "screw everybody else, who cares if they like us or not – we're #1" attitude is uniquely American. I'm pretty sure we got it from the Romans.

I mentioned "like us" in this context. Indulge me if you please (except for Hilux 'cause you're just gonna scream and spit and get all riled up again and find somewhere on the interweb you can quote yourself as to what a "----" I am)....

Watching Discovery Channel the other day. It was a show about constructing the Olympic Stadium in Beijing (that's in China, Hilux) and when they were mostly done with the outer shell, they were asking people what they thought of it. About half of the people they asked were wearing t-shirts of some form or another ALL WITH ENGLISH WRITING ON THEM (sorry to yell). Strange.

I'm also more entertained by comparisons of the Roman Empire to the U.S.

So there are these two cannibals eating a clown - one looks at the other and says "Does this taste funny to you?"

wait, what? Oh...

I want the fake orange tan and the $90 Ed Hardy t-shirt...but it's hard to believe that anyone else wants to be like that (I fall for celebrity endorsments. hard.)

JMan and Swank: you guys sound like if a gayer Gore Vidal had a couple of hermaphrodite conjoined Brown-educated, Berkeley-residing twins with Woody Allen's French cousin, and the twins put on black makeup and eyeliner and wore Rage Against the Machine t-shirts (ironically, of course) and were baristas at a beat poetry coffeehouse and had just seen a documentary on the evils of capitalism recorded by Nancy Pelosi's Marxist gynecologist.
