Well in many songs, movies, games and everything you see great nationalism for America. I kinda think it's stupid to use amerifcanism if you intend to spread your thing trhoughout the whole world. For example bands/singers we all over the world listen to, have a few songs about america, and how great it is. Well, I don't think America is all that good, maybe its also part of my own nationalism, but I actually always prefer speaking english on stuff I intend International. If you say your country is good, Will you make friends with that?
Just was wondering how people thought about this (I also want to hear some from some americans)
and dessert, It doesn't matter how many peopel are american< i jsut dont understand why we should hear how great america is, I mean, Imagine you lsitneing to a song where they suddenly sing stuff where they just hail Holland as it it's done the greatest thing on the world... I dont mean to offend but I just dont understand why people have to be like that. (Neither I understand people like stalin)
Every single nation has songs about how great they are. It's not just an American thing. It may seem that way because America has the 3rd biggest population in the world and many have the means to make music. So there are going to be lots of songs about America.
Well the questions confusing, I myself is Chinese, but i don't think that country is all that great. And you should see their Tv shows, brainwash written all over it.
Its not necessarily a good thing to be dissin other people countries.
You see? That's patriotism right there. You're assuming anyone who doesn't bow down to the almighty US of A is "dissin" America isn't really all it's chocked up to be. When they went to war with Russia, they realized most Americans don't know what cmmunism is, so they played it up as some evil diabolical thing, and even today, Russia gets bad rep. for something they didn't do. Look at all the Russian villians in movies and comic books and games. Guess what? It's not a coincidence.
@ Stalin: Anarchy leads to chaos and corruption which leads to nothing great at all.
@ Cool, I agree on your brainwashing points totally. YOu've just reminded me of the source of the whole thing: The media. People aren't rational anymore. They just believe what the government says but dont think about thigns themselves. The media supplies us with news but in what way? I mean, take the new mexican flu. Here in holland we hear about the great dangers of it and everything while the only worser thing about this flu copmpared to a normal flu is that it spreads much and much faster. It's not more lethal like they act as if it is. Ppl... Wake up?
