Outspoken Canadian Legislator Calls U.S. 'Idiots'

Quote:
Parrish, who had to apologize for her "bastards" remarks last year, at first denied using the word idiots, and when reporters pointed out they had her remarks on tape, she said: "I don't mean Americans are idiots."

Parrish then begged reporters not to use the remarks: "Please guys don't put that on tape," she said. "I already got into trouble once.... Really, please, I've had enough trouble."

lets face it, for the most part Americans ARE idiots.

A trip to the FFXI forum should prove that conclusively.

I refuse to argue either point on the basis that I think you're right.

I don't even see why she got in trouble the first time. We're a bunch of bastards who also happen to be idiots. What's all the hoopla aboot?

Any American that doesn't agree that s/he is an idiot, is an idiot.

Hey, we are all human. I wouldn't be surprised if you look up human in a dictionary, you will find idiot in nice bold letters. Americans aren't the only one's to have idiocy down to a science. You have to admit that with Bush and Kerry running for president. Idiot is going to fit either of them no matter who wins the election.

So,just because you have come across some people who play the game that are in fact idiots,you generalize everyone who plays? I'm sorry if I find something enjoyable that you don't.It's great to see how open minded some people are you know?

He wasn't gerneralizing, he was pointing out that the people who post in the FFxi forum here are idiots.

That doesn't mean Stephen Hawking doesn't play FFxi, just that he doesn't post here.

Ok,I'm sorry for posting in YOUR forum.This is the 'Out of Topic Forum' so if I want to post something that is in fact out of topic,then I think I will continue to post.I'm sorry again if I am in some way inferior to you because I have a different interest that for some reason automatically,without any doubt seems to make me an idiot.

I don't care what game you play,or why you're here.I just think it's wrong to disregard someone's posts simply because they play FFXI.No matter how clear I seem to put something,that one or sometimes multiple people make comments about me playing FFXI when that clearly has nothing to do with the subject.It's a little childish to do so don't you think? A good number of the posters here are adults yet they bicker and complain about people who play a certain game and immediatly classify them as idiots.That is just absurd.

This isn't my forum, the Asylum is my forum. Stay the **** out, you've been warned.

Great! Who asked you not to?

Well, frankly, I have neither the time nor the inclination to detail why you're an idiot, but fortunately for both of us, you seem to have accepted the fact.

I think it's wrong to judge people. People who judge other people are ********.

You clear putting that sentance above not so much.



It's a little childish to do so don't you think?


To play a video game based around overley cute childs cartoon characters?

Yes, obviusly



A good number of the posters here are adults yet they bicker and complain about people who play a certain game and immediatly classify them as idiots.That is just absurd.


The absurd part is that so many really do turn out to be idiots. You'd think that what with the laws of probability and all, an occasional un=dim one would slip through the cracks, but, alas, not yet.

In fact,I have not accepted it because I am not an idiot.Although I am considered one for playing FFXI for no given reason.

I think it's wrong to judge people. People who judge other people are @#%^s

You are judging me,and so are other people who hold the same state of mind about FFXI players.

Yes, obviusly


Allakhazam is a gaming website.All posters here at usually have at least one thing in common,they are gamers.Also,FFXI is indeed not based around 'overly cute child's cartoon characters'.


I just don't see why there seems to be so much discrimination when it comes to this issue.There is really no reason for it.

Is there some problem with the space bar on your keyboard? Tradionally, one would insert a space or two after puncuation marks.

I realize that's compilcated for you to understand, so here's Elmo to calm you down:

I think you're confusing who it's target at with what it's based around. It's targeted at fat middle aged pedophile virgins, it's based around overly cute cartoon characters.


I just don't see why there seems to be so much discrimination when it comes to this issue.There is really no reason for it.


Who's discriminating against whom?

Is calling someone with Down's Syndrome (no offence to you personally, just an example) below average intelligence descriminating?

I think not.

Now here's Barney to sing you a song:

When you get your pocket money this week Avenir, you might want to invest in a sence of humour.

Even a cents of humor would be an improvement.

Here's an example as to why most FFXI players are accused of being intelectually defective: http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/forum.html?forum=10&mid=109363815126445381&num=1
and quite frankly I can't blame them. I think most of the players with a shred of intelligence have noticed the amount of idiocy flying around and have been pretty much scared off, afraid to be to associated with it.

Carolyn Parrish is my MP, I used to play soccer with her daughter when we were kids. I've never really liked her at all, she's very full of herself. However, I aggree with her this time, Americans ARE idiots.
