An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American

This is my favourite part Aristotle.
.
“It is likely true that all countries are biased towards giving to countries where they have economic or political interest. This is inevitable, and will probably never change. The difference with the USA appears to be that it is the single loudest self-congratulator. When it comes to war and aggression and other USA foreign policy issues, the USA is always heard to be boasting of how it is a beneficiary to much of the world. Yet, proportionally, all 21 of the other developed nations give more, and none of them used the “we are good because we are generous” argument that their policy was correct. Such emotional blackmail would produce a lot of internal criticism in any European country where the government claimed such a thing. In Europe where worldly communications are highly developed, every country can see the internal workings of the rest of the world and governmental criticism is heard of all governments.
.
However, despite the USAs dominance of mass media, it is frequently only the pro-USA, self-congratulatory messages that seem to arrive in Europe, the USA citizens criticism and disbelief of their own government is not apparent, which gives the overall impression that Americans are either gullible, ignorant or honestly uncaring. It appears to many Europeans that the USA government and its citizens believe two things:
.
That USA is a generous nation of people
.
That this also give the USA a right to enforce aggressive foreign policies and aggressively pursue economic interests in all other countries”
.
I guess this is why Peter Popoff wrongly believes he is so generous.

@Seven – Aristotle shall once again point you to #3 Don’t blame USA citizens.
Aristotle doesn’t care for the reason you should not blame us. So we’re all self-deluding. Like Aristotle heard somewhere, “insanity is a perfectly rational adjustment to an insane world.” If that quote doesn’t fit here very well, then just call Aristotle crazy. (He already knows that he is.)

Hey, Peter and Rowdy, thank you. I don’t know what I think about all this. It would be nice to dismiss Mr. 7 Deadly Sins as a cretin, yet I am also thoroughly disgusted with America at the moment. From the very beginning, the settlers that later became Americans seemed to have a sense of entitlement that led to ugly chapter after chapter throughout our history. I’m not really very politically minded, but I do object to our involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan, probably for much the same reasons that Mr. Sins has.
.
I object to a lot of aspects of my culture and my country’s actions. I am ashamed. What should I do? Move? Buy a bumper sticker? Go protest something? Maybe, but my sphere of influence is really very small. I’m fighting my own war, believe me, Mr. Sins. If I give my money away and spend much of my time in an effort to change this country, who will raise my 3 and 1/2 year-old son? Who will teach him tolerance, kindness, compassion, and understanding? Who will be there to steer my teenage daughters away from promiscuityand drugs, and toward self-sufficiency and open-minded social consciousness? You? I think not, Mr. Sins.
.
I cannot describe more of my daily battles without you pointing out that many of my problems stem from America’s problems. Ok, you win. It is all hopeless. So what do I do now? Go back to the drinking and drugging I stopped 19 years ago? Send an email to someone in Afghanistan saying that I’m sorry for a war I didn’t start and am powerless to stop?
.
Do you know about Appalachia, Mr. Sins? My mother was born and raised just north of the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. She had no plumbing or electricity, and very little food and clothing. She left as a teenager and never looked back. My father sold vacuum cleaners door-to-door before he joined the military when I was very young. Both my parents worked very hard to make my and my siblings’ lives better, and they were largely successful. So, I got to go to college, and now my oldest child is preparing to go to college in a couple of years.
.
I’ve got to go to work now, for another day of doing my best to care for my “betters,” as you put it the other day. What will you do today, Mr. Sins?

@Mr. (or Mrs., who cares?) Sins
.
I know more people like you, trying to poison other people’s lives by pointing to everything that goes wrong in the world. That’s an easy task: humans are very strong at screwing up things in general. Look around you, point at the very first person or object you see… SOMETHING will be wrong with it, and probably because of human intervention. The most rational thing to do for the human race would be collective suicide.
.
BUT!
.
It is the NON-rational part of the human being that makes it so different from other species, and that gave us art, science, humor. It is also that non-rational part that makes humans go through where a positive issue seems impossible. If ever, it will be that non-rational part that will get us through large-scale errors like Bushism and ID.
.
Such achievements are contributed to by “big” persons, whose names end up in history books. Such achievements are also contributed to by “little” persons, whose names will never make it into a history book. Some of them post on this site.

I feel for you – I feel much the same, but you can’t spend your life feeling guilty for stuff that isn’t your fault which you can’t change – especially when you have kids relying on you – you are doing a good job raising your kids – don’t let people like Mr Sins make you feel bad – he/she is not exactly saving the world either – and anyhow – we don’t have sins – wrong church ;) Have a nice big bowl of pasta to make you feel better :D

Maybe this would be a good time to point out that Bush’s approval rating stands at around 32% right now. Most of us Americans are just as pissed at our government as you are (though you apparently think that you should blame everyone). Us “American People” are the ones who have to deal with a boneheaded government here at home, so we would appreciate it if you cut us a little slack. Feel free to keep insulting our foreign policies and such, but it isn’t fair to attack the people when so many are just as disgusted (or almost as disgusted, anyway) at how our country is currently run as you are.
.
p.s.
That was speaking as an American, speaking as a person I would like to point out that you haven’t exactly been very nice to anyone in your posts, and that we don’t like people as stuffed up as you. Yes, I say that you are acting with extreme arrogance. You come on to our site preaching hatred, telling us that all Americans are practically the physical incarnation of evil, and somehow believing that you have been given the right to judge. Just because you have read a few books, and viewed a few sites, you presume that you are all-knowing on the subject of America’s actions. Who gave you the prerogative to insult an entire race of people? You can blame us all you want, you can insult us all you want, but it seems that you cannot even tell when your own actions are as supercilious as you claim ours to be.

.
I’m sorry, I was going to sit this one out, and let you collapse under the hefty weight of your own pride. It’s not even my country, and honestly, I’ve agreed with you about some of your comments.
Yes, America is in deep shit right now [and my country happens to be rapidly following it :( ], BUT it isn’t the fault of the general populace, no more than it was the fault of the German people for Hitler.
.
However, that one stupid comment goes to show just how low and idiotic you are. Thirty two people dead, and you are blaming it on the rich and the poor.
You are fucking trying to use it as some sort of justification for your pointless argument. Get your head out of your arse. Seung Hui Cho was a nutcase. Wealth had nothing to do with the matter. At least have the respect for the dead not to use their deaths for some stupid game of one-upmanship with complete strangers.
.
.
.
Listen, if you really do believe what you say about America, fine. However, it isnt hard to come across as polite.
.
You want people to agree with you? Try being polite. Try producing real arguments rather then socio-political babble. And (yes I know about grammar, blow me) for the love of whatever god you hold dear, even if it is yourself, don’t try and use a tragedy as justification of that sort of garbage.

It’s not good enough to claim that the “government” is not representative of the citizenry in a democracy like the USA. The will of the people is the cornerstone of the government’s mandate. I don’t hate Americans and I do believe that some of them are decent people but America needs to wake up as to why so much of the world does hate them. Saucy Wench is no doubt a decent person and I’m glad she’s posting again. I’ve said my bit and now I’ll leave you all in peace.

@ Saucy Wench – Being able to see the world from more than one perspective gives us enlightenment and balance. Or total frustration! I can see the good and bad about America right now. I am very frustrated by some of the crap that’s happening. I’m a registered Republican (ack, can’t even really identify with them AT ALL any more) but don’t consider myself Republican at all. I’m not Liberal/Democrat either – I don’t fit in anywhere except here! :) I don’t know why I’m ranting about this…oh, idiot Seven can only see the bad – Jean Bart (RAmen!) is right – it’s easy to see the bad in any situation. But that doesn’t give a complete picture or the truth even.

First of all, going purely on the part of the site he quoted, Mister Seven Deadly Sins’s little website seemed rather biased. Maybe that’s not important? I wonder.
-
Secondly, I really, really, REAAALLY hate when other people go around lecturing on how horrible you are when they’re no better. And judging from his arrogance, he didn’t seem so much better to me. Yes, America has problems, that’s obvious to anyone–serious problems, at that.
