American Way

[Franconicus]

American way - I have an idea what it is but I am not sure. What is it exactly? It seems to be very important to the Americans. Gawain has it in his signiture!

[lars573]

It's the wrong way only faster.

[King of Atlantis]

Well there is a song that goes, "we"ll shove a boot up your ass, its the american way..."

[Proletariat]

Haven't you seen the t-shirts with Uncle Sam taking a bite out of the globe with the slogan, "Try and stop us!"?

Kinda self-explanatory.

[Ja'chyra]

You, my friend, are a glutton for punishment.

No, this is how the threads usually go: Someone has a topic he wants to talk about, Panzer makes a comment and the rest of the time the discussion is about Panzer's quote. That is annoying

[Fragony]

Awww you pricks. America has a healthy be all you can be attitude', and the funny thing is, it's true.

[English assassin]

I don't know, but the Roman Way was a pub in Kilburn, if that helps?

[Ser Clegane]

I'm surprised to see that there is even a short entry in wikipedia

The American way refers to an American nationalist ethos which purports to adhere to principles of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." It has some connections to the concept of American exceptionalism.

The comic book superhero Superman fought for "truth, justice and the American way."

Seems to also explain Gawain's sig

[King of Atlantis]

I'm surprised to see that there is even a short entry in wikipedia

Well the american way is a pretty popular term here in america.

[lars573]

But they changed Superman's fight to truth justice and freedom for all.

[Ser Clegane]

The signs of globalization

[King of Atlantis]

[BDC]

[Gawain of Orkeny]

But they changed Superman's fight to truth justice and freedom for all

You dont know where (rather than what) the american way is? Right next to road of nationalism and conservative blvd.

An honest question by one individual - with the typicial anti-american comments coming from the peanut gallery.

However [b]Ser's[b] reference does a short concise explantion of what the concept is.

[PanzerJaeger]

Yep- ive always thought it was "Live, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness".

BTW, i dont understand Ja'chyra's response.

[Goofball]

Yep- ive always thought it was "Live, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness".

Close, but let me correct that for you:

The American Way:

"Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, unless you are gay, in which case you should be ashamed of your filthy, abnormal self and stay in the closet where you belong if you don't have the decency to suppress your sexual identity and marry and have kids while making both you and your spouse miserable because of your burning repressed sexuality."

Oh, wait.. I got mixed up.

That's the Republican Way.

My bad...

[Gawain of Orkeny]

My bad...

Is the only part of that post thats true

Ah should I call you anti-american for that comment Goofball. And actually American's who are gay have the exact same rights that I have as an American Citizen. To include the ability to have consensual sex with any adult partner that they chose - except of course in public - where the laws of the United States would prosecute both the homosexual couple the same as the hetrosexual couple.

So yep you are being very bad.

Yes, I'm a very naughty boy. Too bad there aren't many in the Org. I need a little discipline...

Well there is always me ready to use my whip to beat you into submission.



Or if you wish I can use my favorite tool in my garage - the general all purpose fix it tool - or break it so I have to get a new one tool - the 10 pound sledge hammer.



Anything for you

My brother had an American boyfriend for years.

[Redleg]

My brother had an American boyfriend for years.

My uncle had more then one.
And he enjoyed the same rights and priveledges as every other member of my family has in the country in which I live.

[Sjakihata]

if they have the same rights, why cant they then be married?

[Goofball]

if they have the same rights, why cant they then be married?

They can, just not to anybody that they have even the remotest sexual attraction to. Actually, I hear many conservative marriages are pretty much that way, so maybe it's not discrimination.



Man, I got a million of 'em today! The hits just keep on coming!

[Redleg]

if they have the same rights, why cant they then be married?

Its really rather simple - marriage is a contract with legal obligations and is licensed by the state.

A right does not require a license or a contract.

[Papewaio]

if they have the same rights, why cant they then be married?

Sounds like a get out of prison free card. just kidding honey.

[Sjakihata]

I thought it was liscensed by God and the Church - not the stat?

Not sure of the exact date, if I had to guess probably after 1997 or so. And it's not exactly official either. Some writers use the old truth justice and american way other use truth justice and freedom for all. I know that Grant Morrisson always used and freedom for all in JLA.
