I made a youtube video about this in a response to AngryLittleGirI's video "American Girl" (note the capital I at the end, not an l)... but 20 min before i finished, she disabled all video responses to all her videos.

hope you like it.
i feel like i'm the only one who uses this forum..
obviously we need more to argue about.
Worry not, dude. There are others posting here!
About the video... There are a lot of things that I just can't relate on. Being a patriot, living in a religious society, someone being deemed anti-social.
Where I come from the separation of state and church and the freedom of religion is total. Or more like we experience a freedom from religion. To believe is a choice, not a standard! If you are an atheist, thats your church, and just as acceptable as christianity. Though, I want to ask if you are really an atheist? I like to call myself an agnostic, I don't deny the possibility of god, I'm not just convinced by the evidence
To love one's country is another thing... Yes, Finland paid for my education (the system here is a lil different), and my health care and my grandparents fought for it's independence in 2 wars which were only few years apart. But no matter how much pride I try to take from this I always crash in an idea of patriotism excluding you from a group X. It takes a big man to love one's country, but not hold it above all others, cause if you do there's bound to be conflict, and with conflict there is pain... and the string goes on.
The anti-social thingie is just a guess
You see the plague of EMO-kids has spread from the US to Finland as well. In the USA it kinda makes sense... I would fight for my right to not participate in all the social rites to my last breath! But in Finland people not talking is kinda the standard so the only way Emo stands out is with clothing
Anywho, your video, great stuff.
Much prop.
