i honestly hated bush WITHOUT the influence of Green Day.......
i hate him cause of the issues in the middle east and how hes sending coutless people over seas to possibly die just because he wats like more economic ties with the country or something along those lines......i have alot of friends and family over seas right now and spend days and nights wondering if those people are still alive.

actually there is a number...i cannot remember it for the life of me...but it has been counted...i think its like aroun 30,000 troops deployed...sucha loss.... i hope your family/friendsd will be okay and im sorry for any loss you will/have but not yet know of....did that make sense?
I hated bush since pretty much allways anyway... I mean the manretards a blatent idiot, and a dangerous one at that....Ive allways been fairly politically minded and yeah... any one can see the harm that he is causing to not only his own country but others as well... But I still love Green Days bush hate, 1.thay have a right to say it as that what they feel and 2. it's damn catchy bush hate.
It is their damn right to say it, especially as Americans.

Yeah, they have the right, but they sure as hell don't act like Americans. When I say that I don't mean because they hate Bush. I mean because they say "Fuck America," in American Idiot. That isn't cool at all. And if they were good Americans they would have filmed BIAB in the US. They should just move to Canada and be done with it.

And how does a "typical" American act? Just because you don't like your country doesn't mean your any less of a citizen.
So if someone says "fuck the world" they should move to Mars, yes? People get irritated by things and they were simply saying how they felt.
And the BIAB thing is just... I'm not even gunna start on that. So "good americans" aren't allowed to do anything in other countries, are they? How many other successful gigs have they played in America? They just filmed this one in England.

Well America wasn't in the best state (that came out a little mangled) but maybe when we get somebody new to run the country they won't be saying Fuck America, and the BIAB thing is a little out of context, Milton Keynes bowl wanted them to play, it was just a good opportunity to have a camera running with that many people. And on the move to Canada thing in Tre's words "Quitters never win."
I mean because they say "Fuck America," in American Idiot. That isn't cool at all.
"The Subliminal mind fuck america" and "fuck america" have very differen't meanings.

Thank you, Kurtni! You have no idea how many times someone's said to me. "I don't like Green Day because in American Idiot they say "Fuck America". That's soooooo taken out of context, in my opinion.

I never said their was anything wrong with Canada. But if Green Day hates it here so much then they should move. They even jokingly said they thought about moving to Canada.
As an American, I would die for my country. I have a big ass American Flag hang in my dorm. I wear red, white and on 9/11, Pearl Harbor, Flag Day, President's Day and the 4th of July. I think Amercia is the greatest country ever. You couldn't pay me a billion dollars to live in any other country.
You don't have to be as extreme as me; you can still love American. But you shouldn't say shit about your country. If you don't like it than move!
By the way that doesn't mean I hate other countries. The UK is cool, and Ireland and Australia. If have to move to one of these countries I would. It would be bad. But I would only go if I HAD to.

I'm sorry, but I disagree with you completely in every way.
If no one had ever complained about American government policies we would live in one shitty country. People are supposed to take advantage of their free speech and express their views on the government, that's why they have it. Anyone who doesn't speak up about their government and country in my opinion is a bad citizen because they're doing absolutely nothing to make their country progress or move foward, they're simply holding others back. Telling people with ideas to move is ridiculous, and if you understood the rights people had you'd know how unamerican that really is. Why on earth should we just lay back and allow something to control us when our country was founded on the principle of popular sovereignty? I love my country, but that means I'm an active part in it, I don't just sit back and tell anyone " If you don't like it than move!" What does that even accomplish? Absolutely nothing. It's up to a country to work towards making sure the people living there do like it. If America didn't do that over our history, we wouldn't be a country now.

I know you weren't trying to make me feel like an ass, but I do. You seem to have that effect on me when it comes to politics.
You are right though. If there won't people like Green Day, American wouldn't be a democracy.
I just got so catch up in everything I believe. And I'm just like, "Fuck everyone else." But Green Day is excersising their freedom of speech.
And I know you didn't say that I necessarily do this but....I don't just sit back let people control us. I'm voting in November. I'm doing something to change the government. I think. If I'm voting Republican I guess not.
And why is it that your 15 and sound smarter than me. I guess it's more knowledge than how smart you are (does that make sense). I'm not stupid I just don't grasp things as easily. My 17 year old sister is smarter than me.
Oh, and DON'T feel bad for me. I feel like this everytime I debate people.
I'm just saying all my feelings out loud.
I guess I don't know as much about politics as I make it seem.

Intelligence is overrated in many areas, especially politics, its the art of bullshit, so we all have to know at least a little bull to discuss hating politicians.

Nah, you're not an ass, sorry if I made you feel like that, but being active in the government is just something I feel very strongly about. I know American Idiot got a lot of kids interested in politics and at least exposed them to it. For that, I appreciate what they did. I think that's awesome that you're going out to vote. That alone shows you're a smart, active citizen. So many American's don't and it just makes me so aggrivated, because they're throwing away such an important opportunity to make a difference in the world around them. To me, that was one of the big messages behind American idiot, song and album. We (when I see we, i mean America in general) tend to be "controlled by the media" and we don't have to be. That's the message I got from American Idiot. I don't think it meat to inspire hate among anyone, just the opposite really.
thanks hun
