    "If you don't like it, then leave" (in reguards to the state of our nation).


    Wow. Wow wow wow. I don't think anything else gets more of a rise out of me. That's the single most settled, un-American phrase I've ever heard. It goes against the very things this nation was founded on. If I don't like it, I'm going to excersice my right to speak my dissent, in an effort to change it. Why? It's not because I'm an anti-American pinko Commi....it's because I want to see this nation improve. How do you get it to improve? You point out what's wrong and try to fix it.

    Someone said this to me in a class debate today....and I nearly choked in surprise. I was simply appalled. Just because my view is different doesn't mean it's un-American in any way, that couldn't be further from the truth.

    i guess I haven't really heard that phrase before, but I definately agree with you. America is all about freedom and that ignorant person should be smacked across the face.

    Totally agreed. I get this one a lot, and its incredibly difficult to hold back the unbridled rage it releases in me. The true ignorance of some will never cease to amaze me.

    Random fact:
    Rednecks and/or dipshit patriots make up the majority of the US. :lol: Therefore, it's not an unfrequent ignorant saying people have to hear.

    What about the dipshit patriots? They're certainly not extinct. :lol:

    And if I were to guess, I'd say alot more people live in the south than in the other regions. (California, Florida, Texas, New Mexico, etc..)

    I can see how that is ignorant and annoying. Only because a person has a different view to someone else doesn't mean they have the right to tell you to leave if you don't like it, that's just stupid. A person should speak up and try to change things, it's one persons country just as much as it anothers.

    No. Everything in the brackets was Southern-based states. I guess I didn't clarify.

    I know my geography, duh. :lol:

    I prefer the saying, "If you don't like it, then vote."

    Sent in my absentee ballot...

    I live in Virginia as well, and it's kind of funny because where I am (college town in the middle of the state) it's pretty balenced, but the closer to UVA you get the more liberal it gets...
