Well I may be many things, and I have left behind a tarnished reputation in the UK, but I never expected to be accused of being a "radical terrorist, bomber"! So today was a new 1st for me....engaging in the a lively discussion on tourism and economy on the AC forum......resulted in just such an accusation!! I do have to add this was from a Texan......not George W Bush though!
My title reference to Green Day is in honour of the band Green Day's song "American Idiot". The antagonism in the discussion forum arose when someone used the term "suburban American idiot" and I decided to re-quote this is my reply.
This certainly triggered the American paranoia and resulted in a Texan idiot telling me the "good old U S of A did not want people like me" in AC and to "Try Iran"!! Further adding that I must be some "radical terrorist, bomber". WHY? Because he thought I was being anti-American. Now even if I was being anti-American........why does this instantly make me a terrorist? Certainly makes you realise that all the propaganda on terrorism in the US IS having a frightening pervasive effect on the consciousness of many Americans.
Anyway....excellent song....just read these lyrics:
"American Idiot"
Don't want to be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind fuck America.
Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.
Well maybe I'm the faggot America.
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda.
Now everybody do the propaganda.
And sing along to the age of paranoia.
Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.
Don't want to be an American idiot.
One nation controlled by the media.
Information age of hysteria.
It's calling out to idiot America.
Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.
Don't want to be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind fuck America.
Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.
Well maybe I'm the faggot America.
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda.
Now everybody do the propaganda.
And sing along to the age of paranoia.
Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.
Don't want to be an American idiot.
One nation controlled by the media.
Information age of hysteria.
It's calling out to idiot America.
Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.
