Seeing a newly fourteen year old screech (like tennis women at Wimbledon) about Freedom does get obnoxious, even though I know you don't mean to be obnoxious, Gracie. Freedom is as freedom does, and we in the US have many aspects of running over people in our past. But of course, running over people is quite human and many groups do it, and then retribution is nigh, which is called defense.
No offense Osso but if you or anyone else found my posts upsetting or annoying then that's your problem not mine. I mean hello, look at the title of this thread. If you didn't like my thread then you didn't have to look at it or read it. I don't mean to be bratty with you.I get what you mean and I'm not mad at
you at all. I just think that some people made a big deal out of nothing and its really frustrating because you guys do that a lot.

Well it was certainly ...um... an off putting experience.
But then, going by her title for this thread, I guess that was the
point of the thread?
To
be obnoxious.
It's a shame that some of the adult US A2Kers here, who regularly communicate with her, didn't alert her before she made such a goose of herself.
Maybe because some of the adult US A2kers here have a sense of humor and can take a joke.

Sure. If "Gracie" wants to celebrate your 4th of July celebrations, well why not?
I don't think anyone would have any problem with that.
If she had chosen to be considerably less obnoxious about it
If you are "glad" to see the downright ignorance of the "freedom" rubbish that she posted non-stop, earlier in the thread, well that is your prerogative.
Maybe, just maybe, this was the perfect opportunity to educate a young person about political realities?
Look, I've already apologized for offending you guys and I'm not gonna do it again. I really don't see what the big deal is. Its just a stupid thread. You get upset over the
dumbest stuff. It's like you look for things to whine and complain about and it's really annoying. No matter what I say here at some point someone's going to get offended. I don't care anymore. I'm gonna post whatever I want and say whatever I feel and if you guys don't like it, too bad. I shouldn't have to apologize for starting a freaking thread and posting memes about freedom. Like,
really guys? Some people need to get over themselves.

I think a country whose education system can produce a girl who only realises that milk is produced by cows udders when she reaches the age of 14, is quite shocking. If you weren't so keen on preaching, you might consider it shocking too, because it really is.
You know what Izzy, there are tons of insults and
really really naughty words I can throw your way in response to your very insulting comments but I wont, because then I'd be just like you. So instead I'll give you a lovely little montage of pictures I've selected to show you how I feel.
You're petty and pathetic and this will be my LAST time responding to you. I don't have time for morons. I deal with enough of those in real life. Learn how to act your age and not your shoe size. Oh! And while you're at it, get a freaking life. You're a joke.

Izzy and msolga,
The points you are making are not difficult to understand, and I think any reasonable (and honest) person can see that.
It is never okay to insert comments about the "warts" (some call slavery the "original sin" of the US) of the country, right in the middle of someone's flag-waving. Expecially not during the 4th of July "Independence Day" annual fervor. Especially not on a cutesy thread (self-described by its launcher as "obnoxious" - which I guess should have inoculated it from any contention or sobriety).
So, we should've known better, and if we're going to make these kinds of comments on the 4th of July, in a harmless and cute thread like this, maybe we should go back to Africa or the Phillipines or Ireland or wherever the hell we're from.
Or not.
I'm glad y'all said something. And screw the rest of these clowns.
Yeah, screw you too.

It wasn't a subtle point. I didn't miss it. I get it - "I'm going to set off my sparklers and cheer my cheers this independence day, so you non-fun people are forewarned!!"
You feel you're being slammed for just posting a hip-hip-hooray for the US. Sorry. I wouldn't hurt your feelings intentionally. but here's the thing...
The hip-hip hoorays shouldn't offend anyone grown-up, but neither should mention of the ugly side.
Um, excuse me, but I wasn't offended
AT ALL when you guys mentioned the 'ugly side' of America. I considered what you were saying and I told you what I thought and how I felt about it. What I'm
offended by is all of the crap you guys are giving me and all of the insults and how you guys made a big deal out of this.
You guys are soo freaking annoying and sometimes I really hate it here. Some people make this place really suck. So dont worry Izzy, the next time I have a question about something I certainly wont be asking it here. And to avoid any more hurt feelings I sure wont be starting any more threads anytime soon. I come here sometimes for help and to have a little fun but you guys just make my mood worse. I'm soo out of here.
