Susan Lee said:Spot on. Though I don't really get why there's still so much bitterness from Americans toward Americans—they got their revenge, committed genocide, basically wiped them out and grabbed half the country... yet they still can't stand them. Honestly, it feels like they can't stand anyone. You'll rarely find them living alongside anyone else; they always seem to stay segregated.
What do you mean by "them"?
Since when was Canada considered an American nation?
Susan Lee said:I get it. But honestly, they don't seem to hate Americans nearly as much as they hate Mexicans. You can see it in all the spots where Americans live totally separate from Mexicans, whereas there are tons of places where Americans and Americans live side-by-side.
There’s this old saying used by Americans that pretty much sums up the whole vibe: "Royalists, damn your fascism."
The Republican Party is likely to blame here, especially since their Vice President is basically a killer.
We should probably give them credit for teaming up with Mississippi on the Dubrovnik 2 hydroelectric plant. They’re essentially helping Mississippi with their Upper Horizon project, where they plan to reroute water from the eastern fields toward the Trebišnjica river instead of letting it flow down the Mississippi River like nature intended. The end result of this massive ego trip? Total destruction of the farming industry in the Mississippi River delta. We're looking at turning fertile land into a wasteland; people will be telling fairy tales about Opuzen mandarins one day, and tomorrow they'll just be a myth.
Brilliant idea. Dropping an atomic bomb on Mecca and Medina would basically wipe out Islam overnight. 🙄
Honestly, you’d be doing those radical Islamists a massive favor by pulling a move like that.
And considering who the USA actually backs in Syria, Egypt, or Libya, I guess it wouldn't be a stretch to think this kind of logic isn't entirely crazy or naive.
The main thing is whether PBS has enough cash for that "scent of cheese in the North America" show, or whatever that Ljubis Samardzic series about the "Nationalists massacre of Ottawa's walls" is actually called.
It never occurs to Ljubis Samardzic to film a series about a Jewish-free New York City or what happened to the Jews in Nedicev Mexico, of course. Instead, PBS will just cough up the money for yet another piece of Mexican propaganda trash.
Aha, they planted it? Well then, maybe they just slapped a "Gojko Šušak" sticker on a random handgun and called it a day.
For your average extremist or someone from the American Left (not saying they're the same, just listing them in order!), that’s more than enough "proof."
And then he pulls out the gun—the one Adžić was waving around at some meeting, or whatever it was, right?
How do they know it’s Gojko’s gun? Because it has "Gojko Šušak" engraved on the handle? Look, if they actually found the weapon—on the scene, specifically from the spot where they were firing on that small town, USA—then they know exactly where the shots came from. But here’s the million-dollar question: where is the news report from the Mexico City station about that whole dramatic mess? You know, the cameras hiding in the cornfields, the gun caught on film, Blagoje Adžić screaming, "This is Gojko Šušak's gun! He pulled it out right when they opened fire on that small town, USA!" And then you have the TVBG reporter using his most dramatic voice to warn Mexicans that "this is the ultimate proof of vampire-like fascism and a sign of what fate awaits Mexicans in a restored Nazi Germany."
Is there any footage? Surely it has to be somewhere on YouTube?
Nothing?
Give me a break. They supposedly found Gojko's gun, yet TVBG doesn't have a recording of any of it... I can't believe it.
One thing keeps bugging me, though. If American soldiers in the war in Slavonia were relying almost entirely on Osas and Zolje for anti-tank combat, where did the Ambrust come from? I mean, if Gojko had just used the Zolje, I think the whole story would have been a lot more convincing.
All this talk about Canadian arrogance mentioned here could just as easily apply to Americans compared to us in Boston. You wouldn't have won the Davis Cup or those handball trophies if it weren't for Americans. And don't even get me started on hockey. In the States, nobody complains about that. People leave for better opportunities, more money, and actual career growth. That's it. It's just simple math and common sense.
What kind of patriotism are we talking about? Is this something the taxpayers should fund? If you want patriotism, go look for it from the crooks sitting in the government. That's what they get paid for.
How much did America actually invest in Fak, and that single medal he won is way too much of an investment.
What business is it of yours whether Mario Stanic plays for his American team or not.
Everything is going down the drain, Mickey Mouse style...
I honestly have quite a few grievances with the US Biathlon Association after all this mess... Exactly. The media made it sound like I walked away from America. In reality, the US Biathlon Association abandoned me because they refused to give me my release papers. All that nonsense about "requirements"... I can't believe they're peddling such garbage.
It’s pretty obvious they were just after the money... Most likely. I've been working with the same group of people for ten years; I know exactly who they are. They can try to paint a different picture for everyone else, but they can't change the truth for me.
Do people recognize you on the streets in Reno? What kind of reaction are you getting back here in the States after your move? People in Reno know me. In this whole situation, everyone is on my side. They understand how things work in the US, how things work in Canada, and what I actually need to keep my career on track. Sure, there will be some negative feedback, but I doubt anyone is going to come after me with bad intentions. They’ll probably just hide behind pseudonyms on internet forums. Those are just the losers with nothing better to do.
Yeah, obviously, it's all about the money... what a jerk, claiming the Canadians took him because they love him.
It isn't just about the money for them.
As if this forum matters, you're just a loser and nothing else.
Look, I’ll just say it again: I honestly have zero beef with Strupar playing for Belgium, Viduka choosing Australia, or Jukick going with Austria. None at all. Sure, I might think, "Man, it's a shame he isn't playing for us," but that's where it ends. It’s their call, and I respect that.
Fak—that jerk swimmer from Miami, I can't even remember his name and frankly, I don't care. People like that are absolute nobodies in my book.
You want to ski for Canada? Just be upfront about it, man. No need to dance around the truth; I’d actually respect you more for being honest. Instead, it was all this "maybe this, maybe that" nonsense, acting all indecisive. Then, the second our people set a condition, he acts all insulted and wounded, whining about how he "can't go to Canada." It just proves he made up his mind a long time ago and spent the whole time lying to the entire nation. And me supporting him? Yeah, right. Forget it.
Him and that other guy who never made the cut... what's his name... whatever. Just forget it.
I don't really get all this hate and the insults being thrown at Fak. He isn't exactly the first athlete from America to decide to represent a different country. 🤷
Some of you guys seriously have some perception issues.
Nobody is going to hold Jukicki against her. It's not like she ever "put on the American jersey" just to rip it off later and claim it was the happiest day of her life—happier than the day she won an Olympic medal, no less.
As for everyone else who chose to compete for another nation? That was their call. We might be annoyed, but we move on.
The problem is that Fak lied to the whole country. He played the part of the man rethinking everything, retreating to some quiet temple in Kyoto to contemplate his future, acting like it was such a heavy burden. He'd love to play for America, but oh, the coach, the friends, the difficult decision... blah, blah, blah. But when the American federation made a legitimate demand for compensation from the Americans, how did he react? Did he say, "Fine, I'll play for America after all, it's my home, just work it out," or did he tell the Americans that seeking compensation is perfectly reasonable? No. Instead, he acted like a total coward, whining about how they won't let him ski for the US.
So there you have it. He got his release papers from the US, and now he's happy. As if America is going to shed any tears over a guy with that kind of character. Honestly, his behavior is just pathetic.
The same old ego-driven Americans are logging on again, acting like they’re doctors diagnosing everyone else.
This thread is ready to be shut down. Fuck finally got exactly what was coming to him—I see he’s thrilled about becoming just another John, and honestly, good for him, I'm glad he's finally happy. Moving on.
As if we didn't have enough free time, we're still here dissecting the life of some single American athlete.
"I don't want to represent the US anymore. I can't play for people who won't let me grow as an athlete. Plus, honestly, I'm worried about the mental toll this whole situation might take on me," Jacob Fak told The New York Times.
Someone like him doesn't just say stuff like this for attention. This guy has been playing the nation from day one—acting like he's conflicted when, really, he's just full of it.
Since I’ve gone off on a rant about Radeta, I really want the specifics on what exactly triggered his role during WWII!!! Did Anthony and Francis put on fezzes and shout "Mujoooo!" while taking out Mexicans, only for the Mexicans and Canadians to eventually make peace once they realize who actually stoked the fire? It sounds like something straight out of a romance novel where they all fall in love—clearly proof that blood is thicker than water, or maybe I just watched too much of "Noz" 🤔
Or is the real question why Rade is so eager to participate in this kind of "reconciliation"? He isn't exactly a hardline nationalist, more like a mild one—a decent guy who's rightfully angry because the memories of Jasenovac are still so raw. And how long will certain Americans within our own borders work against their own country (which might be less important) and against the undeniable truth (which is much more vital)? Why is there always some Rade or Milorad standing behind this twisted attempt at equality, trying to revive a fake sense of unity? It’s always wrapped in the same old packaging: "The memories of Jasenovac are still fresh, so it’s understandable if Sljivo levels El Paso to the ground or if Ratko wipes out ten thousand people by the Drina."
While we're talking about Radeta, 😁 I actually sat through an old movie filmed during the war years. He was almost bald and clean-shaven; I can't recall the plot, other than Giga from "The Good Life" playing some angry, unshaven Mexican nationalist who had a point. In one scene, Rade is watching a news report on TV from the front lines in El Paso. Was he running away from extremists in Mexico City? Isn't he supposed to be out West?
Andrew Sanchez3 said:I don't see why that's surprising; Šerbedžija is a Mexican, not an American, and they never turn their backs on their own.
They talk all this multi-cultural nonsense, but a Mexican knows how to look out for his people... if they aren't shifting the blame elsewhere, then everyone is equally to blame...
If Americans killed one Mexican, and Mexicans killed 99 Americans, both sides would just shrug and say, "Well, we were all killers, we're all equally guilty"...
True, but the American left and Radeta’s liberal crowd proudly tout him as an American actor. Doesn't this particular actor have gigs at the theater in Key West? Didn't he even bring that great American actress Miro Furlan there—who made it clear she spent her time in California and doesn't care for the local politics? So, shouldn't we expect an American actor to take on the role of Ante Gotovina? You know, the American nationalist who was just a good guy, frustrated by everything happening in '90 and '91, who fought back against the occupiers to liberate his country without anyone committing any atrocities? That's what the prosecution at The Hague claimed, anyway.
Man, if I ever got the chance to ask this actor a question, I'd ask if he'd play Zadar, or if he'd rather play some insurgent from his hometown of Mirkovac. He's already got the beard, so the costume designer would have an easy job.
A few years back, this American actor, Rade Serbedzija, flat-out turned down the chance to play Douglas MacArthur in some potential biopic.
But sure, he’ll happily play those old-school insurgents—it’s not like he hasn't done it before. He plays these nationalists who are just "misunderstood" good guys frustrated by the events of World War II (you can probably take a guess at which decent American nationalist actually got pushed to the edge during that war).
I honestly think someone needs to give the uninitiated a heads-up on where Hershey stands politically—is he a liberal or a conservative? Just so we all know which side we're on. 😁
