That is by far one of the most offensive things I have seen. You exhibited the ultimate in bad taste by posting this.

Seems like you guys don't have any idea of
who Borat is. The whole point is to fuck with
America by making a movie so that people all over the world can laugh at how stupid people are in the USA.

parabellum,
why would he, or you for that matter, think that one instance of inanity by one individual would portray "how stupid people are in the USA". If that is your point of view I' think I'm glad you've only made 11 posts in the last three years.
Evidently you are just trying to stir shit, rather than post anything of value.
Perhaps posts such as this really belong in the political forum rather than big game hunting.

Parabellum,

About half of your posts since you recently joined the board have been anti-American. To each his own. But you can kiss my red, white, and blue....oh well, you get the idea.

Just another dumb American.

Geedubya: Yes you are right it should have been
in the political forum or maybe humor (even if you didn't think it was funny)

A lot of people is this world do think it is funny...but evidently not some of you...I wonder why(?)

Is my personal opinion interesting?

Well, I spent a year in St.Louis a couple of years ago and my conclusion from that stay would probably be that the average American is pretty stupid...

What's even worse is when a stupid man believe in God...muslim or christian......
Religion create really scary people and the US
is abundant in that factor.....

And I am sure you will prove my point.

Have a nice day..

ps.

RM007:

I really like your text "Stupid people should not breed"

Guys, parabellum's post on seal-hunting in Norway has some excellent picts.
"Borat" is a nut who has made some hilarious videos and a movie--nobody comes off looking good in any of them. The hunters in this one came off fairly lightly compared to some of the other people he has spoofed. Many of us over 50 don't have much patience with that kind of humor, tho.
Parabellum has a point about stupid people in America--any place where the current crop of Democratic candidates has a chance at being chief executive can't claim too much common sense amongst the general population.
Post would have been better received in HumorForum, but let's not harshly criticize parabellum just on the basis of whether or not we find this video funny or not.

As noted above, we usually try to reserve the anti-American propaganda for the Political board.

And I am pretty sure Borat has nothing to do with the purpose of the American hunting board. donttroll

Boys you sure seem to like to pick fights with folks who most likely are on our side against Socialism and gun control. Parabellum has some posts in the European forum with some good seal hunting picts, and describes eating them. Hell, if MSM, talk shows, and reality TV, and Jay Leno's street questions are any indication of what the majority of Americans have become--then foreigners would be right to call us(current company excluded) US Idiots.

i used to watch his show when they sent it some years ago.
some of it was actually funny, but the borat-thing wasn't one of them.
i rented the movie when it came out, but i turned it off after 10 minutes or something like that.
because it was just stupid and boring.

as you can see from that clip its just a lame, stupid character that does weird(but not funny) stuff.
and i fail to see where the Americans in that movie turns out to be the dumb ones.


i know that among certain people there seem to be some kind of trend to hate everything American: the people, the country, their actions, etc.
to that i have only one thing to say, stop watching their tv-shows/movies, listening to their music and dont use/consume an American product.
i'll be surprised if you'll last a day.

there are of course idiots and rotten apples in America just as there are everywhere else in the world.
there are however many, many people living in America so...= more idiots.
but i don't think they have a higher percentage of them.



i couldn't care less of what you think of that country or its people, but please don't give the impression that all europeans show the same way of thinking as you.

Steve, I think the guy calling the average American "Stupid" was the one picking the fight, and that being said, I am having trouble understanding how someone with your signature line comes off defending them. Unless you are just defending his right under the Constitution of The United States to bash America and Americans.

Stephen-9.3,

Thank you.

Alan, I don't think he's(parabellum) bashing anybody; every country has their "stupid folk"and I don't see any reason to think you or I are includued in the group.
Borat is just a comedian making a film for money. I have no idea (or care) who or what Borat is in real life.
What I'm saying, is 1) we need to be able to laugh at ourselves--if we can't we're in a mess
2)We shouldn't be quick to accuse anyone (especially one from foreign soil)of being an anti-American, anti-hunting Troll without some evidence.

I have PM'd Parabellum and he is gathering some literature on the possibilities of a caribou/reindeer/seal hunt in Norway.

Seriously you are waisting not only your time,
but more important my time. So this will be my last post in this thread.


Alan: I explained my point of view to Geedubuya.

If someone ask med what I think I am not going
to lie just because it might upset you.

I spent a year as a senior in American High School and it was a joke!

There where classes such as
-Reading for pleasure
-Consumer(???) math
-Outdoor Education
-Drivers education

What kind of result do you expect from students who take such classes??


Steffen-9.3:

You obviously care. However I am sure that most people here would únderstand that I do not represent alll the people in EU, or the people in countries such as Norway who is not a member of EU. And of course not your standing point whatever it is.

Now the thing is that I like America and I've probably visited more cities in the states than the average American (because most people don't have the mony to travel in the states right??)

I have shot turkeys and been to gun shows and all that but that won't prevent me from saying
something negative about Americans or whatever.

For those of you that don't like me.
So you understand, in Sweden where I am from
60% of the population don't like me because I
am a capitalsit. 10% more because I am a hunter
5% because I've never talked to God....
And probably a whole lot of people just don't like me. So now you know you're not alone.

Just a thought here, but have we not had several similar such conversations on this forum over the way many members from America view hunting in Texas??????

I think S.Graves is right, we are beginning to make knee jerk reactions, yet we have had several really good battles on this place about the way hunting is conducted in Texas.

Now we are getting all pissed off because someone from a foriegn country is simply doing the same thing that many of our American members have done in the past. JMO.

parabellum, Over the years I have had the great good fortune to meet and get to know many exchange students. I dare say they left our school much better for the experience. I do not know of even one who would be so rude as to go back to their own country and post an offensive generalization such as you have here. I can only speculate that your less than perfect experience in American schools was not so much the fault of your hosts but the result of your own overblown arrogance.

Young man, I hope your arrogant attitude serves you well.

Alan

While I agree with that observation, the comedian that made the statement, "Borat", is himself a Jew and the whole movie was done as a weird perverted joke.

However, from what I remember seeing about the supposed "Hunt" that took place in Texas, the Texans involved fell into the trap most willingly and made the statements on their own with no prompting.

This has nothing to do with High Fences, it has to do with the general perception of many people, both in America and around the world, of how business is conducted in Texas as far as hunting is concerned.

Since the Moderators have not gotten involved on this subject, they evidently are not having a problem with the way the conversation is going.

I am not defending what the man posted, but neither am I saying that he was wrong in posting it, especially since the information was readily available for anyone to post.

Instead of infighting among the members, again, about the concept many folks have about what hunting in Texas means, what needs to be done is getting forum rules changed so that such items are not allowed.

I don't know about you or anyone else, but that smacks of censorship and that is a Pandora's Box that most folks do not want to open. JMO.

Agreed. Sasha Baron Cohen (aka Borat)is a comedian and does what comedians do. The ranch owner didn't exactly do his part to make hunting or hunters look too good to the viewing public. Who's fault is that?

Last post from me on this idiocy.

I know who "Borat" is. I also don't care who he is.

That video clip it totally offensive on several levels. It showed extreme bad taste to post it. The individual that posted it enjoys making anti-American posts.

Y'all can rationalize it and try to excuse his posting it all you want.

Nobody wants censorship, but we sure as hell can speak out ourselves when something that offensive is posted.

Parabellum can still kiss my red, white, and blue Texas American ass.

I'm off to hunt black bears..........y'all wear this out some more.........
