seems to be a general 'western world' philosophy

i don't see anything distinctly american about it
Argentina is not in the western world, then. But I guess it's okay, since you already stole took on the name of the continent, why not go for the name of the whole hemisfere? :P

what is not a thing? what I am talking about is a fairly distinct kind of patriotism, the explaining to the children thing here is just a very specific instance
Wait. What.

The whole explain to a child deal is a very American thing
how did that turn into patriotism???? :S

  • does this look like the face of mercy?
The whole "we now stop to explain this five year old atrocities" is extremely ham fisted way to make people sad. The ugandan population reaction to this is completely understandable, people defending this dont really care that much about what the ugandians are going through but more about looking moral and concerned.

^ who are the brown people in above image  :???:

reducing an issue to an easily digested blurb to be delivered to the NORTH american (sans mexico and canada) youth = good profitable idea

delivering that easily digested blurb to the people directly affected by said issue = really stupid idea

the connection to patriotism is in the area of "doesn't anyone think of the children?"

Ugh, this is really difficult to explain. I'm too lazy to do that, so I'll change my statement from "that's very American" to "feels kinda American-ish to me", I can be wrong there and not feel too bad :P

LOL, I was wondering when you'd come out and make your usual comment. ;D

My comment was relevant to the overall topic, still- overgeneralizing. Wether it is 'all USAAians teach horrible stuff like they would do to their 4-year olds', or 'all western nations think like americans', or 'all african victims in this conflict are exactly like the single guy we showed in our vid'.

You're welcome.

I still wonder if you ever had an opinion regarding the topic at hand or if you just wanted to take your daily jab at me. Megh.
