Regime change, and what the americans really think of it!
Hey this is by far the most amusing collection of stupidity I found for quite a while!!!
OK just to briefly explain, the Guardian (British, liberal/leftwing/coward/socialist/intellectual - apparently that counts as insult in the US as well) came up with a brilliant idea to annoy the Americans (at least I hope they didn't seriously consider having any real effect - because then I would have to add utopian to the list above).
Basically what they did was publishing independent voter's mail addresses and gave the world (or at least the web connected part of it) a chance to try to influence the election, on the very real basis, that, because America is the current hegemon in the world (whether one likes it or not, this is an unfortunate fact), the outcome of this election is as important to us as to them. And each Guardian reader could therefore try to personally (and preferably diplomatically) write a letter to an US voter to convince him to vote for - now theoretically whomever you support, but practically - Kerry. If you want to know more about it just zipit.
Anyhow coming back to the real point of this.
As Americans are human beings like everyone else (maybe even a bit more stupid than others - but that might really just be due to the fact that they don't hide it as much as others) they weren't particularly happy about others trying to fiddle around with their election, or more precisely their 'regime'.
Funny that a country that goes around bombing other people, if the might possibly consider to support someone who doesn't just follow Washington’s instructions, can get pretty cross when someone just tries to influence their own politics.
And of course our great liberators and beacons of freedom, wrote back that they were slightly worried about this foreign, hostile intervention!!
"Have you not noticed that Americans don't give two shits what Europeans think of us? Each email someone gets from some arrogant Brit telling us why to NOT vote for George Bush is going to backfire, you stupid, yellow-toothed pansies ... I don't give a rat's ass if our election is going to have an effect on your worthless little life. I really don't. If you want to have a meaningful election in your crappy little island full of shitty food and yellow teeth, then maybe you should try not to sell your sovereignty out to Brussels and Berlin, dipshit. Oh, yeah - and brush your goddamned teeth, you filthy animals. Wading River, NY "
Lovely isn't it? Makes you wonder if their friendly fire usually really is just an accident, or pure intention. Also makes you wonder why every else country had to be shocked by 9/11. I mean do we have to give a 'shit' about their 'worthless little life’s?'
In any case, it is the most ridiculous - but therefore quite amusing - collection of ignorance I've seen in quite a while.
Another classic:
"As a US citizen, I want to advise you that you and anyone that participates in subverting the US presidential election can be criminally charged and perhaps even charged as spies". "Please be advised that I have forwarded this to the CIA and FBI", "stay out of American electoral politics, unless you would like a company of US Navy Seals - Republican to a man - to descend upon the offices of the Guardian, bag the lot of you, and transport you to Guantanamo Bay"
Now isn't that beautiful? For telling an American that I consider Kerry to be more intelligent than Bush, I get promoted to a spy with a possible pension in Guantanamo Bay for the rest of my life - or until someone decides that it is too expensive and shooting might be cheaper.
(Just for the record, gas is the cheapest way! My ancestors spend quite a bit of time, finding the most effective way of killing people you don't like - you just have to cope with the bad consciens afterwards, but as you manage to ignore you own successful genocide quite well so far, I'm sure the extinction of unreasonable leftwing Europeans won't bother you too much!).
OK to be European diplomatic again, there are actually quite a number of sensible replies there as well, that do try to rationally argue - possibly quite rightly - that this idea might be counterproductive.
But it is surprising how annoyed some of these people can get when confronted with a opinion, that isn't theirs. Democracy American style, agree or I shoot you!
Just imagine their faces if a foreign, "liberating" force would be driving up and down their roads, blowing up anyone who disagreess - and the occasional random, arbitrary crowd, that just happens to be where the smart bomb strikes. I can't help it, I'd love to see their faces!
