Mass rally against gay marriage in Paris

[CapnAwesome]

Oh admit it, the only reason everyone pays more attention to America than American pays attention to it is because we're the most terrifying nation in the world. We're the most war-mongering trigger-happy nation in the world, with the most massive military "defense" budget and among the developed worlds we're also the most ridiculously religious.

You pay attention to whomever is the bigger threat to your immediate well-being. Ergo people pay attention to America.

It's NOT a good reason to have people paying attention to you for.

I agree that's why we are paid attention to. But what amazes me are the people who bitch and moan about how America has all these bigots, when in reality we have the same or actually less than most of the world. I think it's partly the result of American's fear of actually leaving America.

Which makes more sense when it's some moron redneck who think he has no reason to leave. It makes less sense to me when it's someone who whines constantly about the country.
