Hello,
My name is Lauren Southern I am 17 years old and live in British Columbia.Though i must say i much prefer talking about American politics. I would like to call myself a Libertarian/Conservative (But usually end up being more conservative) I love learning about and debating these beliefs. As for the rest of my life i am just a small town girl who plays volleyball and enjoys the comfort of nerdy books, tv shows and video games.... :)

Anonymous asked: Americans are stupid as fuck. Seriously I respect your views but people who have the same views as yourself are the ones most Americans are ashamed due to their annoying racist and extreme behavior. Republicans/conservatives are an embarrassment to this country (not all) and I doubt Romney would even come close to Obama. Your people are stupid and after obamacare was upheld, a lot of republicans stated they wanted to move to Canada bc the US is too socialist!! Lmfaooo dumb shits

Okay wait WHAT. I’m sorry but if Americans are “stupid as fuck” that sir, would include yourself. Also if most Americans are ashamed of my views how come the nation is split in half between republican and democrat… are you saying “Americans” are only people who agree with you? last time I checked Republicans won the election before Obama… that would mean at some point over half the nation agreed with me. Or at least thought democratic views were the greater-stupidity. I could make the exact same statement saying “Americans are ashamed of democrats/liberals” but i wouldn’t because that is a straight up stupid argument. 

What do you mean by you doubt Romney would even come close to Obama? My people are stupid?!?! Interesting way of putting it… I dont usually pile the occupy protestors in with the intelligent liberals … just like you shouldn’t group the few uneducated “republicans” with the intelligent ones. Thats called generalization and it is probably the weakest attack one can use on a certain group of people.

Anonymous asked: Are you a moron or something? Too bored with your country? Romney is a damn fool and is ridiculous as fuck, if he becomes president he will be the end of MY nation! Have you heard the kind of shit his dumbass says? Honestly, why do you care!? It isn't your country so stop worrying about our politics. Smh

I worry because if you haven’t noticed YOUR country has one of the largest effects on the world. Just because i don’t live somewhere does not mean i shouldn’t care about it… honestly are you a moron?? This is where people get the “Americans are ignorant and stupid” idea from because people like you believe you shouldn’t bother learning about any place other than your own country!! I would have respect for your question if you presented it a tad more politely and actually gave me some examples of why you don’t like Romney but obviously you cant think of any. Oh and no i have not heard the “kind of shit his dumbass says” .. I quite respect his morals and plans for America.

PS. You are a rare case… most Americans are very intelligent people… so stop ruining their rep and giving people a reason to generalize an amazing group of people!
