(See? That was a joke. Whether it was funny or not is irrelevant to whether it was posted with serious intentions. The inability to recognize a joke as a joke doesn't simply equate to whether you thought it was funny or not.)

yeah, I kinda said it with tounge in cheek.




To be american means using oxymorons. Or being one sometimes. Like the Hell's Angles.






Usuing personal characteristics like Hate and Humor are common to all peoples and isn't really an 'american' thing.



oh,,, and I do laugh when people are actually funny when they are Not stupid funny, or warped funny. I think witty is funny. I don't think it's funny how the internet filters most of a persons personality. I don't think it's funny how somepeople want to paint ugly little pictures of someone else.

Hating the 'right' people is a just a warped . There is no RIGHT. Hate just IS sometimes. Very unfortunate but everyone does it at times. I don't think that subject matter was given to be funny.

You're saying I didn't mean it as a joke when I said it? Even after I said I was just joking, you're saying "no, you weren't joking, because I'm a mind reader" ???

There is a city named Usa in Japan that once labelled its products "MADE IN USA".
