Koliadko 207 Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Got this tshirt from Molson today with this question. Just curious. I know my answer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Vigilante 14 Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 So what does the United States need to apologize for? They don't have to be rude either but they don't need to be apologizing all the time-to me apologizing=weakness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koliadko 207 Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 If you go to the Molson site, they have alot of questions like this with difficult answers. That's why I didn't put 'other'. I'd rather be rude than weak. Remember guys, there are no wrong answers here. Just wondering how folks feel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

patriot 7,197 Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 That question is like saying "would you like getting your ass kicked?" or would you like a kiss before getting your ass kicked?" No answer from me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 (edited) As Americans we are the unwanted bastards that the rest of the world threw out. I reserve the right to be as rude as I want. The less respect you give me the ruder I will GET! Americans are only thought of as rude because people think we should bend over and kiss their asses. Anyone who thinks we will kiss their ass will find our boot in there! P.S. Now you know why I'm Grumpy! Edited September 14, 2008 by G O B Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gaddis 1,689 Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 They can all feel free to suck my nutsack personally. And no, not in any homosexual way either, Will. This has always been my policy. Even when arguing with liberal relatives who worry about how the rest of the world views the United States (especially since Bush screwed things up in that area. Come to think of it, my liberal relatives can all suck my nutsack too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Juggernaut 11,054 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I guess it depends on the type of apology.. I know snopes found this to be false.... but I sure like the way it reads.... This 'Letter of Apology' was written by Lieutenant General Chuck Pitman, US Marine Corps, Retired: For good and ill, the Iraqi prisoner abuse mess will remain an issue. On the one hand, right thinking Americans will abhor the stupidity of the actions while on the other hand, political glee will take control and fashion this minor event into some modern day massacre I humbly offer my opinion here: I am sorry that the last seven times we Americans took up arms and sacrificed the blood of our youth; it was in the defense of Muslims ( Bosnia , Kosovo, Gulf War 1, Kuwait , etc.) I am sorry that no such call for an apology upon the extremists came after 9/11.I am sorry that all of the murderers on 9/11 were Islamic Arabs. I am sorry that most Arabs and Muslims have to live in squalor under savage dictatorships. I am sorry that their leaders squander their wealth. I am sorry that their governments breed hate for the US in their religious schools, mosques, and government-controlled media. I am sorry that Yasser Arafat was kicked out of every Arab country and high-jacked the Palestinian 'cause.' I am sorry that no other Arab country will take in or offer more than a token amount of financial help to those same Palestinians. I am sorry that the U. S. A. has to step in and be the biggest financial supporter of poverty stricken Arabs while the insanely wealthy Arabs blame the USA for all their problems. I am sorry that our own left wing, our media, and our own brainwashed masses do not understand any of this (from the misleading vocal elements of our society like radical professors, CNN and the NY TIMES). I am sorry the United Nations scammed the poor people of Iraq out of the 'food for oil' money so they could get rich while the common folk suffered. I am sorry that some Arab governments pay the families of homicide bombers upon their death I am sorry that those same bombers are brainwashed thinking they will receive 72 virgins in 'paradise.' I am sorry that the homicide bombers think pregnant women, babies, children, the elderly and other noncombatant civilians are legitimate targets. I am sorry that our troops die to free more Arabs from the gang rape rooms and the filling of mass graves of dissidents of their own making. I am sorry that Muslim extremists have killed more Arabs than any other group. I am sorry that foreign trained terrorists are trying to seize control of Iraq and return it to a terrorist state. I am sorry we don't drop a few dozen Daisy cutters on Fallujah. I am sorry every time terrorists hide they find a convenient 'Holy Site.' I am sorry they didn't apologize for driving a jet into the World Trade Center that collapsed and severely damaged Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church - one of our Holy Sites. I am sorry they didn't apologize for flight 93 and 175, the USS Cole, the embassy bombings, the murders and beheadings of Nick Berg and Daniel Pearl, etc....etc! I am sorry Michael Moore is American; he could feed a medium sized village in Africa. America will get past this latest absurdity. We will punish those responsible because that is what we do. I am sorry the Barack Hussein Obama may be elected president of the United States when he doesn't have a clue on how to be a strong Commander-in-chief in a world filled with Muslim extremists who will do whatever it needs to do to destroy the lives of civilized people while killing innocent men, women and children in order to bring a change that is beneficial to all Islamic terrorists worldwide. I am sorry that voters on the left don't understand the frightening changes that are taking place in the Muslim world and what these changes will do to this world in which we live. I am sorry that the Democratic Party has been high jacked by Socialists and Communists right under the very noses of those who take pride in calling themselves democrats. We hang out our dirty laundry for the entire world to see. We move on. That's one of the reasons we are hated so much. We don't hide this stuff like all those Arab countries that are now demanding an apology. Deep down inside, when most Americans saw this reported in the news, we were like - so what? We lost hundreds and made fun of a few prisoners. Sure, it was wrong, sure, it dramatically hurts our cause, but until captured we were trying to kill these same prisoners. Now we're supposed to wring our hands because a few were humiliated? Our compassion is tempered with the vivid memories of our own people killed, mutilated and burnt amongst a joyous crowd of celebrating Fallujahans. If you want an apology from this American, you're going to have a long wait! You have a better chance of finding those seventy-two virgins.

Twinsen 86 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Known for apologizing - England. Known for being rude - France. I don't want either. I want to be known for being from the BEST COUNTRY EVER. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koliadko 207 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Personally, I've only seen France as yellow. I'm not sure they have enough backbone to be considered truly rude. And this IS the best country in the world. She may not be perfect but it doesn't get any better than here. I'll not apologize for her but I'll be damned if I can't be rude if pushed into a corner by a bunch of wussy wimpy countries. That's just the way I see it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
