I`m not sure why but I just feel pissed. Not only for myself but for others around me… I hate the fact that I have a nice loving (although unaccepting)family.I hate that my life is much easier compared to other peoples lives. I feel… well I dunno like a slob or some arrogant person. Kinda like when I see those damn commercials about collecting some new coins with the presidents faces on them or that HoneyComb commercial. They try and make America look like some great paradise. Here I quote one of the kids from the HoneyComb commercial: “Mmmm..all the way from America.” Here he is tryng to persuade a gaurd (you know..the ones that never move..) to sample a bit of the cerial. Yeah like America is so god damned great.I hate they way they flaunt everything around. America aint as well as everyone thinks it is and I just hate how the media portrays it. I guess in a way I kind of envy those with screwed up lives…. I guess this may be one of the reasons I cut myself… there is no real pain or damage in my life so I make my own… but I`m not here to talk about cutting myself…. Anyway it just pisses me off. Why? I don`t really know… well feel free to comment about this…

Hey, Grim. Remember me? Probably not. Anyways, I used to feel the same way. Exactly. I hated how perfect my life was, so I started cutting myself. Now I do it because I addicted to it, and because now my life DOES suck. So, the cutting relieves some of the pressures.
But America is in deep shit. We suck. I can’t wait to see what a dumbass our new Prez. is. Probably been taking notes from Bill. LOL, must jet.

Did you know that the American national anthem is the only national anthem in the world with question marks in it?
Hey Night. How could I forget you? Oh, and sorry for not showin` up at the site for a while…as far as cutting goes, I`ve stopped but only untill my shrink thinks I`m normal. After he thinks I`m ok I`ll start cuttin myself again. I guess I am addicted too….god I love it…it feels so wonderful…its one of the few things that can actually make me smile. Anyway I`m no longer mad now Im either depressed, bored, or generally displeased. Oh well…hmm…actually now I imagine the US engulfed in flames with crumbled buildings and smoke everywhere and the sky is red with black clouds….and cars are mere shells and there are no people but me walking down the street…that kinda makes me smile…well I hope to see you in the chat. Write me sometime ok?
Well well well… welcome to The United States of America. Another national patriotic growth pang cries out its surprise… well, after the education supplied by elementary and high school, real life is always a rude surprise. It’ll pass, and you will either go on to be a rebel whose cause will be squashed, or to be a nice yuppy, preppie, normal — whatever term you like. Well, the third choice is to just remain who you are, and live until we change the system.
Pschopomp — very interesting point…
Society is but a slave to what it feeds its self… society is the only one to blame for the way it is because it made it so that it influences the younger to beleive the older… to perpetuate or change something only garuntees its existance… The only thing we can do is smile, nod, agree, and know that we are better because we are not blind to the truth…
PS I am tired of not having my articles posted… as a matter of curiosity… When did you submit this?
I am Turkish and now i am here (NY) for my “academic career”.All my friends i left there keep saying that i am so lucky i party my whole fuckin’ time, but they have noooo idea what the fact is. It is hard to keep a steady financial aid and i have to work hard. This has nuthin’ to do with your thread but i think that life (and academic life mostly) sucks…. (pissed off student i am nowadayz)
Damn, something must be wrong with me. I love America. I think it’s the best damn nation on Earth. I may not be entirely happy with the way it’s opperated, but there is no where on this planet that I’d rather live. (Vist, sure…….) Ah well, to each their own I guess……

You are too correct. I am still young enough to not be jaded, but old enough to understand that I, and all that I hold true, will be defeated by corporate hegemony, mediocrity and this faux patriotism that “they” try to inculcate into us at birth. Whether it takes the form of HoneyComb commercials or that friggin’ Texas retard. BAH! It’s all bullshit.
The true national anthem is, “This land is your land,” by Woodie Guthrie (with the lost verse about his people starving!)
Come to think of it, maybe I am jaded. In any event, I hope that I die kicking and screaming, not spiraling down into that comfortable senescence that only Yuppie-dom can provide.

Hey no offense but i just wonder how many other countries you have seen? It is very nice for you to actually love it (your nation) but ain’t it a little daring to say that it’s the best damn nation on Earth?
Whoaw welcome the Apocalypse…dude I am sorry to say that but you’d probably like to be in the WWII…mad we are a bit ,aren’t we all?
Well, if my memory serves me…..mmmm….I`de have to say a couple of weeks ago. But hey, be patient. Sire probably has a lot of work to do. I know that he can`t always respond to everythings we write so I don`t bug him about it. He`ll get to it when he gets to it. Plus, just because we say something doesn`t always mean he will post it. It`s his site. He`ll do what he wants. But why he posted mine in beyond me…anyway, just be patient.
Well, it`s nice to know I`m not the only one. Often I see cartoons, and magazines with the words “It`s the American thing to do” or “America the great” and the like. Arrrg I hate how they just turn a blind eye (no offense to those of you who are blind. I happen to be blind myself) to the problems our country is facing. But, it does have its strong points. Bespite all it`s faults I would rather live here than anywhere else….well here or Japan…despite the “the nail which sticks up shall be hammered down” theory they use…
hehehehe. Yeah. I’m a little more fond of Canada than the States, but the bastards won’t bump up my “immigration quotient formula” to “guaranteed admission” status until I have two more years of work experience (or some serious capital to invest there!) Good point!
No, but my b/f thinks we’re all nuts. But he’s normal. Unless Grym still loves me, then I might not have a b/f. Tee he.
Gods bless

At last count: none. But hey, I’m poor white trash who’s damn lucky to have left the little hick black hole of a town that he come’s from. But your right, so allow me to rephrase.
I bloody well love America. It is in my humble opinion, the best friggin’ country in the northern hemisphere. (although Germany’s kinda cool).
