What's on your mind 2010 the Next Generation

I wonder what would happen if you gave a bunch of poetry reviewers a poem, told them to analyze it, but told half of them it was written by an Occupy Wall Street protester and told the other half it was written by Steve Jobs. And also did the same thing except with random college students as the analysts.

IDK american nationalism is pretty peculiar because it's more of an identification with an ideology than some kind of volk or unified culture

thats what I said, but I wasn't ready to call it nationalism. it's like an imitation of nationalism/desire for nationalism where it clearly doesn't exist

btw Diet no matter how cynical you may be about the US

that's not cynicism, it's a fact! by definition america's not a nation, it's a country. that's what it was founded upon: anyone can be american, not anyone can be dutch. kurdistan is a nation but not a country. using your example, israel is a nation, palestine is a nation, one's a country the other isn't. that's why "american nationalism", if it's really ok to call it that, is always tied to some other exclusive ideology. see: country music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4ujS1er1r0

edit: listen to those lyrics, they're unintentionally brilliant

I love the election season. So instead of the headlines being "Obama urges Americans to quit smoking" they now become "Obama urges Americans to quit smoking, angering Big Tobacco".

How about that, folks? Obama is standing up to big <insert here>! It's true because he did a Thing

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmJmmnMkuEM this is insane, even compared to regular pepper sprayings. apparently they even forced students' mouths open and then shot pepper spray down their throats, causing people to cough up blood for more than half an hour.

particularly insane is how he kind of holds up the pepper spray in front of the crowd before spraying everyone. like he's saying "have a good look, everyone!"

and all the other police officers walk back to give him some space right before he does it, too. so they probably actually discussed this and then decided that it was a great plan.
