Americans are taking what happened in Paris too personally

[Anonymous]

So many Americans are acting like it happened here, and that this is about us. It's not.

It will be soon I'd guess. Don't kid yourself. Things have changed.

I dont know what you mean OP. You think they would spare you? They would not. They would kill you, and your children, with glee.

I'm sure they would, but that's as likely to happen as I am to find a unicorn shitting gold bricks in my back yard tomorrow.

Paris is not about you. Simmer down.

I'm confused. First it was the case that we couldn't mock the French with our freedom fries. Now we can't support them. Help, liberal gatekeepers!

I was at the Pentagon on 9/11, moron.

Stop being such a pussy. Paris isn't about you.

Well, I was at a dinner hosted by the American Ambassador in the European country where I work, and he seemed to feel that Paris is about the US as well as France. But I'll let him know that someone on DCUM says he's overthinking the issue. He'll be so relieved!

I happen to agree with that, but there is nothing inherently superior about the view of an ambassador.

Imagine that. The American ambassador thinks it's about the US. I'd be more interested in what the French ambassador had to say.

It's called empathy. You should try it, OP.

Not to mention, that threats have been made to our homeland.
So, yeah, it is kind of about the US.

France has been our ally for centuries. Are you American in culture and do you know our history? It was an attack on our common cultures, laws, values systems, secular government. Freedoms that we cherish and fought for in non-Calyphyte governments and governments not controlled by Rome.

After Paris, I imagine someone detonating their vests in Verizon Center, shooting up a bunch of people at 9:30, and blowing themselves up in various restaurants around town.
