Reviews for I Hate America

[Nylo]

Propaganda, nothing more.

First off, If you or anybody takes this flash seriously (good or bad), take my review into consideration. Yes, I am an American. The fact that I didn't give this a zero should prove that I'm not blindly flamming you for this flash. I watched every bit of this, and was disapointed that your message was so blunt. Your message implies that all Americans are like Nazis and that they have this belief that what they do is always just. You seem to think that American patriotism revolves around revenge. Those aren't patriots, those are posers wearing the nation's flag. The real patriots are the many men/women who chose to stand against terrorism, unlike the ignorant who blamed the first thing they saw on the news. Of course, the angry who pledged revenge got much more attention from media all over the world. Your hypocrocy is shocking because your message shares the same ignorace (not stupidity) that the Nazis, the Al Queda, and even our own filthy "American" racists have: the judgement of a group based on it's stereotype. Not every American is a racist, not every German supported Nazism, and not every Mid Eastern person is a terrorist; many of the innocent from each group have been persecuted at one point because people let stereotypes tell them what to think. Don't be stupid and make the same mistake. A message from a true patriot.

Well...

I agree and disagree i agree that most americans do think they are a superior race but most americans don't know what they are any more they only know that fasion is fun and hiphuggers look cool those americans discust me they are the kind of Americans that only know what they've heard others say, they are most of the time slaves of society. I also want to point out that all those plane crashed could have been prevented not with guns, shock sticks, or air mashals but if you do the math this is what i came up with..... there were 4 Afgans with KNIVES not HANDGUNS or PUMP ACTION SHOTGUNS or RIFLES but BOX CUTTING KNIVES with a blade of no more than 1 inch. There were 100 others on the plane...HMM i put my money on the 100 people on the plane. is it just me that relizes that??? oh and as for saying you hate all americans that makes you no better than us its like saying you hate all the blacks when there are some blacks that aren't like others every one is different well i'm not trying to preach to you but that is my opinion and if i'm the only one that thinks that then it looks like ill die being the only one without hip huggers
thanx for taking the time to read if you did, please reply.

"its like saying you hate all the blacks"

Not really, there's prejudice against black people and it's all about one race beleiving that they are a superior race. My anger towards Americans comes from that very belief - That many Americans truly beleive themselves to be superior to everyone else. From the very first day at school Americans get blind patriotism hammer into their skulls, and while it isn't as explicit and simple as I am explaining it, they are tought that they live in the best country, with the best military in the world. It also comes from the fact that the American government feels that it is it's god-given right to police the entire globe. It's a bunch of shit that I wont go into here, but lets just say a hold a wee grudge.

you are SO right

the only thing that could have made it better was some anti-flag playing in the background. you have just displayed what i have been trying to convince everyone of for the past year in 30 seconds!!!

What's so funny?

Ok, I'm an American and I'll be the first to admit that our government has done some pretty bone-headed things in the past.
However, I fail to see what's so damn funny about the deaths of 3000+ people. It's one thing to talk bad about America and condemn its actions, but come on, flying 757's into buildings? That's just plain sick.
You say you're pissed off at America because we have a stuck up attitude, and because we chose to retaliate after what happened on 9/11. If Al Queda and the Taliban can come in and kill U.S. citizens, I think we have every right to strike back. I know you're thinking : "Well, there goes another American, making my point, can't accept the fact that America is vulnerable."
If a suicide bomber ran into your home and killed your entire family right now, what would you do? Sit there and feel sorry for the attacker because he killed himself?
All I'm trying to say is, just because someone has a beef with us doesn't justify what happened on 9/11. You may not realize it, but most Americans know how they are percieved throughout the world.
For the sake of everyone who died as a result of the attacks on 9/11, people in both America and Afghanistan, please stop laughing. Because it's sure as hell not funny.

Raging-Psycho responds:

"I fail to see what's so damn funny about the deaths of 3000+ people"

Who said I was trying to be funny? This is a statement about America, how they are now and how they always have been. If you study History you'll realise that Americans are isolationists, they dont like to be involved in the 'petty squabbles of the OTHER countries'. They're just too damn superior for that.

"If a suicide bomber ran into your home and killed your entire family right now, what would you do? Sit there and feel sorry for the attacker because he killed himself?"

Thats not what I'm saying at all. I'm all for some retaliation from an attack, but the military wasn't real selective about where those bombs fell. If they had been doing surgical strikes as they said, they wouldn't have 4000 + civilian causualties. The attitude must have been something like 'Ahh it doesn't matter if we kill 200 civilians in this town, as long as we kill 25 Taleban it's ok.' for this kind of death toll.

Well, if it ain't the Other superior ones!

Much unlike most other patriotic American, I actually sat down and tried to take in what you said. And I thought about it. Firstly, there were two things I had a huge problem with- one being the guy jumping out of the window, just because he thought it was smart. More like it was because dying quickly on the street is better than being burned by the fire. I was studying physics at the time when I learned that they jumped, and I quickly realized that a body gains 9.81 m/s more velocity every second they fall. They fell for a long time. When I thought about that, I cringed. The other being how you called us Nazis. There are a lot of things you could have called us, and even trying to associate us with that type of thinking is utterly absurd. Ask the average knowledgeable American, and they would tell you how bad they felt for the deaths of citizens in Afghanistan. It wasn't the average citizen's fault. It was the mistakes of our bombers, and our technology, and our military decisions. Not our people.
Other than those two faults, you made a great point. It was atrociously wrong how bad our military was killing over close to 4000 Afghani citizens. But if that was your only real point, then you should have kept that your only real point, and not make jokes of those who died. I never made a joke about OBL dying, or an Afghani dying, or anyone. If there is one thing I find sacred in this world, it is life. You dehumanized me, you turned me into an asshole who should have been in those towers, and should have died with all the others. I would have never wished that on anyone. I wonder, out of the both of us, who is the one who truly feels that they are the superior race...?

No real hard feelings, I know you meant to make a good argument, and it was. I just wish you had tried to be less shock material.

With Respect,
Scott

Raging-Psycho responds:

That respect you mentioned goes right back to you, good job on writing such a thoughtful review.

About the guy jumping out the window, that was shock material (As you realised) that is basically designed to piss people off, get the blood boiling. The whole idea behind my creation of this film was to get as many diverse responses as possible from as many diverse people as possible. What I most like to see is people who have a passionate response. I don't care if it's "I hat yoo wy dont yoo kell yursewf" or a well thought out response like yours, althogh yours is much appreciated. Thank you.
