humor, like beauty, is in the eyes of the beholder, I'll leave you to ponder that while I worry about more pressing matters.
Have a a nice day and if your going to insult me, do it outright next time.

Yeah, and by the way sir calling you a smeaghead was a joke.

To be proud of your country is kind of like being proud of your hair colour. Deeply irrational, and pointless.

I'm not proud of the country I'm proud of the cause, which is like being proud of your accomplishments, instinctual, and logical.

To be proud of something you have not accomplished yourself is deeply illogical.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You are highly illogical. Maybe you need to take a leave from your technical post. The magnetic fields may be getting to your head.

That's funny. What part of being proud of something you haven't achieved yourself is logical?

This deviation was a demotivational that I made one day because I was board
There is logic in upholding what is righteous and having pride in doing so .. To an extent, anything can be overdone.

No, pride in your country is emotional, not rational. You shame Spock by using his name in the same context as passion.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Then Spock is actually showing reason, as well as logic. All vulcans have both, as well as emotion when used in a correct sence.

People just assume that authority derived pride is reasonable, but in reality, what really matters is what you do, not others.

You will think otherwise in time.

Why are we even arguing, we both have the same sence of humor here, Were both fans of Dr. Who, we could honestly be friends if we weren't in debate about politics all the time.

True. Your crackpot tendencies aside, you don't seem like a bad person.

Right back at you pal.

Why is it not a sin for America to be proud, or is this sarcastic?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's not a sin for America to be proud, for we have much to be proud of and just how we were made. We are made a free country, which is one nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
It's a play on words for pride is one of the seven deadly sins, and yet for centuries it is been what made America strong.

Isn't the sin of pride simply of arrogance and egoism. I don't think it really matters if you have a reason to be arrogant or not. The arrogance, that sin of pride, is still there. Plus, while America has plenty to be proud of, it also has plenty to be ashamed of. The War in Iraq, the Trail of Tears, slavery, the Vietnam War, and the forced annexation of Hawaii are the main ones.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wouldn't call the war in Iraq or the voluntary annexation of Hawaii something to be ashamed but everything else I agree.
you my friend are the kind of people that I was hoping to attract this poster, you get its message.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, the war in iraq was a mistake. I don't think anyone can really deny that. A few thousand people died because of something our politicians (notice how I'm not just talking about Bush) were flat wrong about. And the annexation of Hawaii involved us forcing the natives into submission against their will. Not treaty. No compromise. Just us taking what we wanted.
Really? Well I feel flattered but can't help but disagree with the premise of what your saying. But I do agree with you that America is a fair and proud nation and I wouldn't say pride is a sin, for ANY NATION. But pride is different from arrogance. I think the sin St. Augustine was referring to was really more arrogance than simple pride

Apparently you don't know the history of Hawaii then,it started with the natives having a monarchy they wanted the right to vote it didn't work then they turned America for help, in the end they just were absorbed into our system, no bloodshed, no violence, nothing.
The only reason why even call it sin is because it was written as one of the seven deadly sins otherwise, I would not call it that, for the off branches of pride which are arrogance and Vanity are devastating while pride itself is not.
In summary I agree with you, More than I do my own deviation. For it was an idea for a de-motivational poster that just hit me one day, and I did it because I was bored.

I should do conductive research to confirm that's the case, 'cause I never heard that (though I was aware Hawaii used to be a tribal monarchy)
"In summary I agree with you, More than I do my own deviation. For it was an idea for a de-motivational poster that just hit me one day, and I did it because I was bored."
Alright then. That's fine I suppose.

Thanks for the comment, Sorry about the mixed message though.

It's fine. I wasn't grudging you for it ^^

...uh huh so we should have pride in Obama and Bush then?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And what it stands for... freedom, liberty, rights of divine worship, and the right to chose our own path. Not any standing administration, but the country and the fact that so long as people believe in her... Were invincible.
For America, is not an adminstation, it's not just Roiling plains and waves of grass and grain, it is an idea... And ideas are immortal.

But this county's cause that in its founding it is sworn to fight for is.
What is this cause?
It's common seance
It's independence
And it's personal liberty
All rolled up into one word.
This county is discrased by those in power, but in time it will once again be something to be proud of, if it doesn't fall first.

Or it'll collapse because of the idiots and the remnants will hopefully do a better job of carrying out those principles. Whatever works.

Has anyone seen my ass? I think I just laughed it off while looking at the spelling and grammar errors of this post.

History is my PhD not English.
Glad you found humor In the typos.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Interesting, so graduate schools for history don't require you to have any rudimentary English skills then?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Yeah they do, as well as proficiency in at least 3 other languages as well.
