It isn't just you.
Seems that being Anti-American is "in thing" for teenagers for the most part right now. It seems to carry over to the "oh I have to be different" crowd of young adults. They will embrace Anti American Propoganda But if anyone says anything Pro American they imidiatly dismiss it as Evil American Propoganda. I saw it a lot at a lecture we gave about two weeks ago. Pretty sad really.
Sounds biased, but it wasn't, as several Americans were agreeing with the show presenter. It was actually kind of scary.

Scary, and completely derived from baseless, extremist opinion, just like most propaganda. [ 10-07-2002: Message edited by: Maradon XP ]
And I REALLY hate being lumped into a generalized "OMG YOU ARE NOT FROM AMERICA SO YOu HATE US!!!!" thing, thanks.
Talking about how McDonalds and other major US icons (Coke, Pepsi, clothing lables and designs, etc.) were sprouting up all over, in an effort to standardise the world to American thinking and ideals.
McDonalds is evil!
I've yet to see you call ANY critizism against USA as anything other than "Anti-american bullshit propaganda."
I like America. I think its basic infrastructure (with a little bit of heavy tweaking and more rigid laws) will become the global standard for a planetary government. I just don't like the "We are better than you" minority I see sometimes.

If there's been any rational criticism of America on the boards, I've missed it.
There is only "English (English)"!

Isn't rational criticism to you something like:
"George Bush is TOO damn cool. Damn that man!"
"Bush is letting political affiliations interfere with war decisions" would be another rational criticism. I just happen to agree with that one as well.

Most kids that I hang around with aren't too bad; sometimes they rant about the government or something like how the economy sucks right now -- but it's not anything (from what I've seen around here) made into a trend like 'It's cool to hate your country'.
On the contrary, I know a few people in my school on 9/11 last year who actually clapped when they heard about what had happened. They went around with anarchy signs and 'America Sucks' written on their hands and arms, and got a few people to join them in their little anti-America campaign. I'm willing to bet they all (or most of them) really didn't feel that way, but just felt like they just needed to be different. It's really sad when you have to try to be someone you're not just to get attention.
Should've said something, but I've said it enough

You should've watched the "How Ancient Rome effects the Modern World" documentary that was on a few weeks back. Talking about how America is the Rome of today, and will literally stop at nothing to remove those who don't share their values, while covering it up as 'Keeping The Peace'.Sounds biased, but it wasn't, as several Americans were agreeing with the show presenter. It was actually kind of scary.
People can draw whacky comparisons from anything if they look at it from an extreme view point.
For a while, there was a huge group that claimed the cartoon series the Smurfs were spreading communist propaganda.
Comparing the United States to Rome is just as silly as my previous example.

The timing.
Hussein was in power for a while now. And he's always been a crazy bastard. He COULD have been ousted a while back, but he wasn't. This campaign COULD have been started at any time he was a) in power and b) a crazy bastard. But it wasn't. It was started NOW. When America is dying down enough from the post-911 furor to realize "hey, we don't have bin Laden's corpse yet". Bush needs a target. And Hussein is the absolute PERFECT target. He's a crazy bastard with power. His people hate him and would gladly stick him with a spike. He has veyr few loyal people left. He's quite possibly the most fucked person in the world right now. A good target to distract people from the fact that Bush dosen't have Osama yet.
At least that's what I see. I could be wrong.
Hurry for generalizing it all to just teens!
Was like, If he gets voted in, we're gunna find some way to do the war thing on the Bush's arch nemises, Saddam.
And the Terrorists gave him the way.
It's a mess... a very huge mess... and I don't think anything good is going to be had in the outcome.
