To be an American is to look at Pickett's Charge and be able to admire the courage of the CSA I and III Corps in their charge and the steadfastness of the Union II Corps in the repelling of the assault, and for your emotional reaction to be only the greatest sadness for the dead
@48hghtchrdnck This is why, when I moved to a rural county from the suburbs, one of the first things I did was join their volunteer fire dept. Partly because I want to do service for the community, and also because its good to have connections with others, and volunteer firemen are great
Consider all of the blatant lies that activists tell about cases we’ve all lived through. Cases where there’s video and forensic evidence disproving their claims. Think about how the false narratives spread anyway and eventually become mainstream orthodoxy. Now go back and consider every supposed racist atrocity from decades or centuries ago. Every “innocent” minority wrongfully persecuted by racist whites. I’m not saying that all of those stories aren’t true. I’m saying that you can’t assume that they are true. If they can lie about the stuff we all witnessed with our own eyes, imagine what they can do with the things none of us witnessed.
@NightsinFIlm@AlgerianFooty We love visitors, 100%. Anyone from anywhere who wants to come see the US, we are happy to show them around
What we hate is people coming in illegally to abuse our welfare system and break our laws, those people we want gone
@bronzeagemantis SEC is the southeast conference- they're all big football schools in the American south. If you're this unaware of American culture, how do you think you're qualified to comment on it?
@kessler_ulrich Maybe, but how much of that character is directly attributed to the culture in which they are raised? I look at my youngest sister, who is in that older zoomer age group, and she's never had a boyfriend bc the idea of being seen w/ sexual desire scares her, even by a bf/husband
@TheAdamWaite@Gengarsmind Yes, apparently the "right" way is to go to a bar. But then in literally the same tweet criticized us for "commercialism" and "no community" even though we're the ones who are spending time with other nearby fans, and they're spending twice as much at some establishment
@danielwales023@Gengarsmind Saying you prefer to go to a commercial establishment instead of hanging out with friends and a bunch of random other fans for a few hours, but you call us "too commercial"? That's rich
@NationSilico@CracraftFan In length, an American football field is 120 yds, FIFA regulations say the field must be 109-120 yds in length, so it is the exact length, or longer than your "pitches". It is thinner, 53 1/3 yds compared to 70-82 yds, but thats good, means the offense needs to work harder
@theunitedway98@RhubarbBrown@geoffbeero A college football game itself is ~3 hours, but going to the game is a 2 day affair. Day prior you prep your meats and beer cooler, show up to the stadium around noon, tailgate for a few hours before the game, then after the game hit a sports bar
@The_Astronaut18@Cernovich Absolutely. I can lift much more now, but if I tried to go drink for drink with my Lance Corporal self I would be bedbound for 2 days. If you tried to then wake me up for a 03 armory draw, I might die on the spot
@LearningMan247@RealJamesWoods Fun fact, routine traffic stops are what allow cops to catch TONS of very serious criminals. Because murderers, rapists, etc are usually fucking idiots, and because they're idiots they break driving laws all the time
With the arrival of the Euros, all mockery of Mormons and their golden tablets will be kept to an appropriate minimum. All conflict between Yankees and Dixie will cease, and all will focus on hammering any euro trash that denigrates this great land
May God bless you and America
