JK Rowling under fire from US Bible belt after outing Dumbledore as gay

Yeah, I knew this would happen, I called it the day it was posted here, although it wasn't exactly a difficult guess.

People can't stop being dumb, it's pretty much human nature.

No it's AMERICAN nature to be dumb. Last time I checked the Chinese had quite a few books with gay titular heroes but then again you guys still think they kill all blonde children even though a movie made in 2000 has a blonde chinese actor and the director was chinese and it was filmed in china. Of course you guys also still think that the chinese nazi party and the redgaurd are still in power, even after I took all that time helping to hunt them down...oops oh my god another fact you may not know is that there were other white people in the chinese army besides myself...my god I don't want to wreck your world all in one go but it's so hard since you guys are so stupid.

Just thought I would elaborate how stupid AMERICANS are now days and how it makes me sick to think I was born and raised for my entire childhood here in this propaganda infested hell hole.

Why don't you tell us how you really feel?

If you don't like it: leave.

Pretty simple concept huh?

If you don't like it: leave. Pretty simple concept huh?

Yea, but the entire concept is flawed, about as unamerican as it gets, and overall bullshit.

Not all of us.

If you guys hadn't heard, stereotyping makes you cool.

Oh, that's why he did it.

Why else would he do it? He's clearly not dumb enough to believe in stereotypes, he's not in America.

But seriously, if all you do is bitch and moan and whine about how you hate America and you're not trying to actively change it, why stay here? You're not helping yourself or anybody else for that matter by continually bitching.

I understand the comment I made is borderline arrogant, but I stand by it. I, personally, don't like the way the government runs MOST things in this country and I do on occassion vent my frustrations but it seems as if hotdog's whole outlook on America is so hate-filled and redundant that he should just simply: get the fuck out OR try to make a difference. He reminds me of one of those kids that goes ballistic and takes out half his school.

The role of government is... oh, fuck it. Nevermind.

Well, from a more pragmatic standpoint, you could be living in a less than ideal, or much less than ideal situation, yet it can be better than the alternatives. It can also cost way more than its worth to do anything to change your situation, i.e. leaving the country, or trying to change the place. Realistically, you're not going to change anything regardless of how much information you promulgate or how emphatically you protest unless you get lucky. So what's left to do? Bitch.

The sentiment that if you bitch about something then you should let it go is ridiculous. People bitch about life all the time. It's far easier to leave life than leaving a country. Just jump of a building. But I would not advocate people doing that. I don't see how the sentiment of "if you don't like this country, leave" makes any more sense than "if you don't like this life, leave."

Either one works for me.

Let me ask you this, MJ, say you are hotdog's close acquaintance and you listen to his bashings of politics/America/society on a day-to-day basis. Aren't you going to get fed up one day and say something to the extent of, "If you don't like it, leave"?

It is no coincidence that most Americans feel that there is nothing they can do, that they are powerless, that there is no way out. It does not get much easier for government to overstep its boundaries than when the entire populace feels that they cannot do anything about it. I am not insinuating, I am clearly stating, that this is a coordinated attack on our will. The media does a lot to further this.

I don't think he lives in America. I think he lives in China. At least that's what I'm gathering.

His location says he's in USA. Or Dee Dee Dee land as he likes to call it.

I think he's of Chinese descent but lives in America? Hell, I don't know. Fuck off, hotdog.
