Summah Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Is social constructivism even American? I thought most of that kind of thing came from France. You seem to have an unhealthy obsession with America given the similar ideals of the rest of the west. Why is America so special to you, hm? What separates us from the rest of the decadent socialist liberal gay-loving atheist economically-messy world? Is it because of the Putin-like right-wing militaristic/masculinist quasimonarchist conservative dickwaving that many Americans love? That's the key difference, I'd say. That's a good point. America should definitely be less like that. I'm on board.If one takes Putin as spelled in English and pronounces it as one would a French word spelled that way, it has an interesting meaning. But if one spells as often spelled in French: Poutine, then that's the spelling and pronunciation for a nasty québécois food.See putain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lykos Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Vladimir the great? Hmmm ... remind me, when has Russia last been ruled by a great ruler, you know the time when they took the crimea from the Ottoman Empire. Putin might be rememberd as a great leader, Alexander (the macedonian, not the tsar) is remembered as great. How long has his empire lasted, and what was the dynasty that prevailed longest in keeping his legacy, the ptolomaic dynasty, is still famous for? But you're right americans are not as special as you make them out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S John Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I first saw this image a few years ago and I believe that it perfectly captures the essence of my nation. It's completely ridiculous, silly, and over the top, but you're also kinda like... fuck yea, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lykos Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Trebla, Mandy asked us not to get her started on german music. I wonder why she came to Germany with the Kelly Family though? My view of the USA would be much worse had I come with Milli Vanilli. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's completely ridiculous, silly, and over the top, but you're also kinda like... fuck yea, man. That is some image! However, they should have definitely straightened out or eliminated that second limp, flaccid American flag hanging from the porch behind our hero. That certainly goes against the symbolism pervading the rest of the image! ETA: It actually may be a Texas flag and, if so, even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Flow Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 C'mon man... you have got to be Putin me on. Vladie Puts is a joke. Like a Sasha Baron Cohen joke where I'm convinced in a few years he's going to come out and say, "GOTCHA!!!!! You guys fell for the barechested Russian Strong-guy bit? What are you? Morons?"

I don't think we'll be able to hire Will Smith to fight them off like we did last time. Apparently he doesn't do thinks like that for anything less than $20 million.
