Re: Sick and Tired

You are a very troubled and sick individual.

When you accuse Americans of being whiners, you make a very strong accusation to ALL Americans, and since you haven't been the first to do this on this forum, I was going to say my piece. No one has directed this comment to me in any way. Don't worry, I don't lose sleep at night because "Wayne" told "me" I was a big whiner, I just don't sit around while others take pleasure in bashing people in general just because they feel the need to do so. Trust me, people like you deserve the least attention. I'm sorry my post made you feel so special. In that respect I regret my post, trust me.

It's amazing to me how someone to whom I have no personal knowledge of seems to know everything about me and what I've accomplished. Yeah, thanks, I was born, what a great rebuttal! And oh please, I am so troubled now because you think less of me because I what? take personal pride in other people's accomplishments? What the hell are you talking about!? If you did as good of a job reading as you do putting others down you'd notice that never did I say I was proud to be an American in the first place, nor was that the point of my post.

I feel sorry for you.

I didn't address this post to you - you did. If you're getting sick
and tired of being told you're a whiner, you must be hearing it a
lot. Maybe you should listen for a change. I always find it amusing
that people are "PROUD" to be an American (or any other nationality
for that matter), what exactly are you proud of? Being BORN?
Because that's all you've accomplished so far. Taking personal
pride in other's accomplishments makes you a little less than a man
in my eyes. You've just added your own name to: "THE LIST OF
WHINERS". Congratulations, now you have something to be proud of.
Go back to your sandbox.

You know, I am getting so sick and tired of being told I'm nothing
but a whiner. I believe it is always people like yourself who give
Americans this horrible reputation. Quit your insults, and this
goes to all of you! If I admit I'm proud to be an American, will
people me on their hit list? If Wayne has his way, it looks like
I'll be dead before morning.

By the way, not too many dumb posts yet as you said, just yours.
I'm embarrassed by your attitude as a fellow American and as a
fellow human being. Grow up.
