Why do Americans get so easily upset?

[Awryly]

Say something that says anything less than ecstatic about them, and they immediately get their knickers in a twist.

Heaven knows, I have enough experience.

What drives them to do it? The Poms, if they could be bothered, would fight back with witty repartee.

But not the Yanks.

Why do they - being mostly Republicans - have to take themselves so seriously?

It's a real mystery that needs to be sorted.

The mystery is your fixation on republicans.

For our foreign friends- the Democrats and the Republicans are a single bi-fractional ruling party. It is 100% corrupt. So don't get in bed with the Dems- they are dirty too.

[Awryly]

So far you have all proved my point.

Instead of addressing a fair question, you go into offended mode.

And troll..........the very thing you accuse me of doing.

The Dems at least have sensible social policies that differentiate them from a GOP that wants to cripple the middle and lower classes.

that depends on what you mean by sensible social policies, most that I have come in contact with seem to be all about taking from others to fund their pet projects of various types of so called social justice,, you know the ones who would tax those bettor off than themselves just to even the playing field,, it is nonsensical to me to punish those who are successful just to prop up a lazy no account with nothing better to do than live in their moms basement and play video games all day long.

He is right , however irritating it is for you .
The cry of Troll is invariably sub text for denial and /or being so arrogant that any thought of criticism is beyond the pale .
Admittedly the more challenged individuals presumably still reside in PF but I have been name called for saying things like
True unemployment in the US is at least 15% and probably over 20%
US public debt plus obligations exceeds $100 trillion
The US is bankrupt by any accepted use of that term
US elite services were on the ground in Libya along with other NATO elite forces
Ditto , Syria .
US official geopolitical strategy demands destabilisation and implied control of Lebanon and Iran at some point soon .
The US has conceded that China will handle the world's reserve currency and in the short term .
America is deliberately devaluing the $US as a means of reducing public debt
China will increasingly take over US financial strategy in return for continued loan support .
etc etc
All of these are facts for aware commentators and some are now accepted within mainstream consciousness .
But for many American commentators the one response is 'Troll ' and 'Utter nonsense'

The same is true of this Topic .The OP is not trolling . He simply records how others see "you" as a result of repeated behaviour .
Provided there is some constructive element in the criticism , it is not unreasonable . It rather depends how people present and defend the various propositions . If it just leads to name calling , the exercise has little value .imo .

First prove that all Americans are easily upset.

Oh I forgot, opposition to leftist statists can only happen if one is "upset"....one could never possibly be as coldly dispassionate as it gets, and still oppose the leftists political agenda...no they must be upset.

Imagine my surprise at seeing leftist statists putting forth ad-hominem attacks, as if they are a legitimate political argument....NOT:rolleyes:

"all" is understood since the word "some" is not in your first sentence. "Knickers in a twist" is anglo for upset.

I'm sure there are millions of Americans who don't get upset about criticism of their poor democracy, foreign policy and much else.

Well how can that be.....the ones with the money are those that lean to the Right. So more than often you will see them traveling overseas as they can afford to do so. Moreover since the Majority of Americans that are Republican 41% are Conservatives and are Older and the Liberaldom only musters 28%. Where do you think this puts your perspective? Moreover since the Progressives are the Elites of the Left and are not the Majority in the Democratic Party and that these are those who you have been conversing with.....Did ya ever think they might not be telling you the Truth? I mean the Entire World Knows that Progressives will outright Lie while Caught in the Act.....While Standing Right in front of that All-Seeing-EYE. Or do you need to hear Bilbo Clintons thoughts on Progressivism? :grin:

Also you say you have been coming across those from the Right on Forums you frequent. If Such is the case then surely you would be able to know certain facts about those from the Right. That cannot be disputed as any falsehoods which even the left and independants validate.....correct?

Well since most of your post are about how you are against Religion, it seems that's the only reason you are here. If you don't believe fine but why bring it up so often? It's not a mystery, you are here only to debate others beliefs and it's not working for you.

Not to be confused with those right-minded donkeys.You're the one who's confused. The number one person who's fucking up this country is Obama. Behind him are Pelosi and Reid. All Democrats and first class fuck ups. Obama is also a Marxist.

And they're not the kind of fuck ups you can forgive as being simply mistaken or naive. No, these people are socialists at the least by default for pandering and vote buying. They redistribute the tax money of hard working citizens to others for the votes that keep them in office so they can steal from the public trough to enrich themselves.

Don't show your ignorance of American politics by pretending your partisan bias is wisdom. You look like a fool.

Obama will have none of that. The Pugs will get one chance to be seen as having a faint concern for their country or Obama will enlist average Americans to demolish them.

There is only so much intransigence the ordinary American will take from these neanderthals.

A sensible strategy for the 2014 and 2016 elections (already, FFS, underway - how do you ever get anything done?) is to cast the GOP as pre-determined, and determined, losers.

Outside the Beltway, the GOP and its various extremist elements will be crucified. Sensibly, Obama has indicated that he is perfectly willing to let that happen as he does the stuff most Americans want to see done.
