    Default The Best Country In The World, In Technicolor!

    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I enjoyed that cartoon. Seemed to be more fear then actual points but I still enjoyed it.

    Unhappy Re: The Best Country In The World, In Technicolor!

    :

    "Freedom to work" - the ? That "freedom" is guaranteed in every country And notice how when the flick talks about "all races and creed" the camera centres around a stunning, Caucasian blonde... Now that is political correctness at its finest

    How about freedom from propaganda that blatantly over, over-simplifies an issue and turns your mind against that issue without offering any rational arguments? I wonder what was the purpose of that animated short? Satire is the only thing I would do with the video. Heck, it makes America seem bad Shoot, even Soviet propaganda was better than that *bleah*

    Except that the USSR is dead and gone while the USA is alive and well.
