Nov 6, 2009 - If you don't mind me asking just exactly where are you from, and what makes you so great that you can insult the greatest nation ever. And don't just say, "oh, I don't want to argue about it," because you probably shouldn't have posted this comment if you didn't. Also, it should be known that one Youtuber does not represent all of the U.S.A.

Nov 6, 2009 - 1-I'm from south america 2- I'm not insulting the USA, I am insulting the americans who don't know american history... I'm praising Sousa for God's sake!!!... now, the greatest nation ever, well, over the course of history there where lots of "great countries" and they fell... so, it's not wise to say it's the best country ever. OK, my bad, just generalizing, but apparently only rednecks post things in youtube

Nov 7, 2009 - Best dogfight of any march ever.

7Freddyhoff Says:

Nov 7, 2009 - 1-Not a redneck. I know my country's history. (also since you are posting on youtube, they wouldn't that make you a redneck?) 2-Yes Sousa was amazing, I don't think I ever said anything to the contrary. 3-Technically speaking, you being from South America are also an "American" when the term is used strictly. 4- About the greatest nation ever, my mistake. I should have said one of the greatest. There are many other great nations. I was overcome with an uncontrollable wave of patriotism.

JL897139 Says:

Nov 8, 2009 - yeah i'm american too, from the american continent, but as there is no english term specifically for people from the US, I use the word "america"

SirNoodlehe Says:
