I don't understand.. baby steps for me bro
please just tell me what the word patriotic means... cause I thnk we must have different definition...
cause being patriotic... means defending a country.. and speaking of figments of your inaginations.. BUT the concept of this coutry is a figment of many mens imaginations... it is nothing but an idea... you agree with me right? this is just a FIGEMNT... not the land itself.. but the actual COUNTRY USA... is just a figment..
so to be patriotic means to DEFEND the "figment" over the WHOLE... the whole.. being or equal to what is real.. which is humanity...
so being unpatriotic is being inhumane... or shall we say DELUSIONAL to the point of insantity... defendig an imaginary castle to the death....
yes this is CRAZY.. crazy being equal to.. delusional... not in touch with realitty.... but if this is you.. don't worry MOST people THINK the USA is real..... they think that laws are real.... they think that gravity is real...(einstein disproved gravity 40 years ago)...
and those wh are delusional stick together... they even fight ABOUT what is "real" within the figment... thus giving their fake delusional world even more reality... more "validity"
example.... 2 countries fight over wheather Spiderman is a jew or a christian or a muslim... in the mean time.. they foregt that not only is spiderman not real.. but neither is christian, jew or muslim... they fell for there own make belive world and now they are wiling to die for it...
all fabrications of the mind....
so what is real... well... the earth is real.... you are real.... i am real
patriotic... not real.. concept.. fabrication... just something to ADD to your persona.. whcih is plenty real on its own.. you don't need to add a PHD, or christian, or, patriotic, or winner of the bowling trphy in the 3rd grade.. these are all just imaginary titles..... they are fun to play with.... but don't for a single second think that YOU can say they are real and still be sane...
Being "patriotic" just does not apply to this century. It once meant we wouldn't let the red-coats push us around anymore and you were either a loyalist or a PATRIOT. That was back in the late 1700's though, and I guess there was still patriotism during the was of 1812.
The word "patriotic" has no meaning today because our nation, even today, is pretty divided when it comes views on Iraq. Not to mention, we have it so much better than pretty much any other country in the world (unless you have a tough life, so let's just pretend we're all average Americans here...) making us completely UN-patriotic - BY NATURE! Shit... most Americans don't know crap about past presidents and events (i.e. how many 20-24 year olds that didn't learn it in school would know about Bay of Pigs or the Cuban Missile Crisis?).
Soldiers in Iraq, god bless their souls and their efforts, but they are just fighting a war, for the most part, that they don't even know the cause of. They just get deployed and do what they're told -- they're soldiers. And is our chief-in-command, Bush, a patriot? -- of course not
Conclusion: I feel the words "patriotic" and "un-patriotic" are a form of biggotry, it reminds me of some dumb hick who, like a captain sinking with his ship till the end telling with the opinion "towelheads... kill 'em all" that insult a poor "yankee" such as myself for thinking the war was a mistake to begin with. The only true un-patriotic thing is to hope for your nation to suffer. It's a state of mind, not a status you can achieve.
