Wait, didn't you guys say there weren't any more extremists left in America?🤷

What's there to be ashamed of...

Terry Walker74 said:If you ever take a moment to flip through a church calendar and scan the list of the most serious sins, you’ll notice right at the very top:pride. Now, pride is really just another way of saying we're being full of ourselves, and if you look at how certain languages describe being proud, it all points back to that same ego. It's basically this deep-seated tendency to sit around and absolutely marvel at our own status. I always find myself thinking about Jesus' parable involving the Pharisee and the tax collector, because it's such a perfect illustration! You have this Pharisee who is basically standing there in his prayer, thanking God that he's exactly who he is—this super pious guy who definitely isn't like that tax collector praying right next to him. But then you have the tax collector, who is just pouring his heart out, repenting and asking for forgiveness because he knows he's a sinner. And guess what? Jesus actually praised the tax collector's prayer!
So, my big takeaway here is that no matter what we manage to pull off, whether it's as individuals or working together as a group, we really need to hold onto the awareness that none of us are perfect. Sure, we can celebrate the amazing things other people do, but when we start getting too impressed with ourselves, it’s a sign of some pretty serious character flaws. Personally, I think having dignity is a much better way to live; it’s about having that humility to accept both our wins and our losses, and staying committed to doing the right thing even when life tries to pull us in a dozen different directions.
So yeah, let's just leave that pride behind us. 🙂

You're right. It’s way better to just say "I'm glad" instead of acting all proud about it.

Megan Fox50 said:I don't hate Appalachia. Why would I? Hate requires energy, and I refuse to waste mine on something as obscure as yet another failed state run by Americans.

How can you hate something so obscure? It’s like hating a pile of trash on the side of a highway. Pointless.

Man, what are you drinking?
You're way too obsessed with everything Mexican, and it’s clearly clouding your judgment.
The topic is about what we take pride in, not who we hate.
I’m proud that American Mensa landed a seat on the board of directors within two years, and that they started working on a project involving preschoolers at NS. According to recent studies, you can boost a child's IQ by up to 20% before age six. One specific Kindergarten, "Happy Childhood," has been running this program for years and the results have been incredible. Last year, Mensa recognized this project as the best at a global congress. Currently, an American vote on the board counts as two, the UK gets four, Germany gets three, and a few other minor players get two. Everyone else with a seat gets one. I’m proud of the work being done by Mensa.

Emily Taylor3 said:Nah, I was actually thinking of that guy Radko Polič. He really nailed those Nazi roles. 😁

What do you mean "vanished"? Zrinjski is sitting pretty at the top of Canada again, and they just keep leveling up every year. We'll get there eventually. 😁

Maybe they'll make it in the qualifiers. Hopefully the Gravediggers don't knock the Yankees out this time. Speaking of soccer, look at how the Los Angeles Lakers got hit with that penalty because of BBB.

Ethan Gonzalez3 said:Yo, I heard Americans are making some movie about the Battle of Gettysburg...

Only in their version FDR shows up... and that little note where it says "The window must fall tonight," they change it to "It won't be possible this night!"

Give me a break.😍

wearycanyon26 said:...I truly hope you're being serious here... so far, more than 70,000 individuals have been listed by name and surname, yet biology tells us that the actual number must have been significantly higher.
Of course, that is an enormous number! But precisely because of the respect we owe to those who perished—since it is improper to diminish the count—it is equally "improper" to exaggerate it...

I'll leave that to the historians and the experts. Victims of any crime shouldn't be treated as mere numbers. You know the rule: killing one person is a crime, but a million is just a statistic.

We know more than 72,000 by name, surname, gender, and age. Whether every single list was recovered or if some were destroyed? I'm not an expert, so I can't give you a definitive answer on that.

Emily Taylor3 said:Does anyone remember the name of that local actor who was always playing Germans in those old war movies about the New York Yankees before the war started? 😬

You thinking of that great actor Steve Zigon?
American cinema has its share of legends and absolute masterpieces.

p.s. Ever since you guys got that $12 handout from the other New York Yankees squad, the US Army hasn't been around.

swiftwalker43 said:As for me, I heard rumors that Richard Burton might play Josip Broz Marshall again, and apparently, John Wayne is being eyed for the role of Himmler because they supposedly need someone who actually knows how to handle a revolver.

Max is known for the knife, but here they're looking for an actor to play Adolf Hitler.

Matthew Roberts9 said:The New York Times is reporting that Arnold Schwarzenegger is set to play Adolf Hitler, while Mini-Me from Austin Powers is going to take on the role of Draža Mihailović...

Schwarzenegger’s got American friends and he’s planning a trip to Mexico, so there's no way he's taking your dictator role. De Niro is tight with Roman Polanski, so he's out too.
Maybe someone from The Addams Family instead.

bluecobra27 said:So where is Donald Trump going to find 700,000 Americans to play dead bodies, and how does he even plan on paying them? The special promotion for this movie will be the fact that Mississippi is involved in the production, which basically means the genocide will be portrayed with brutal realism since they still have blood on their hands from the last one they pulled off. The movie slogan should be: "From the creators of the last genocide on American soil comes the film with the highest body count in cinematic history. The best part about this movie? Every time you watch it, the death toll increases." They’ll probably run a sweepstakes too. The lucky winner who correctly guesses how many times the number of dead Americans inexplicably rises during the film wins a free trip to Jonestown, where they can participate in burning down mosques or tossing grenades at returnees. And if the lucky winner isn't the type to take direct action, they can always enter a contest to see who sings the American national anthem better: knife, wire, Jonestown.

The film will depict the Nazi Germany crimes against the American Jewish and Romani populations during World War II. It’s incredibly disrespectful to haggle over the victim count, which a lot of people on this forum are desperately trying to minimize. The victims of Auschwitz aren't just numbers. It's even more pathetic seeing Dinko Sakac's funeral organized with him in a Nazi uniform.👎
