re: #38 RogueOne

No, I’m actually referring to the hawaii part. Lets try this, we are not all the same. Regardless of the need to feel part of the group we are individuals first. I’m not like you anymore than I’m like Albusteve. Our experiences are different, what makes us who we are are completely different. Obama has a different upbringing than the average american, it is what makes him “him”. It’s the same with military brats who have had the opportunites to travel and experience life differently than their counterparts who are stuck never leaving the counties of their births. If you don’t know the difference between growing up in Dayton OH and Honolulu, I don’t know what to tell you.

Right, we’re not all the same, but some of us are more American than others?

This retarded fiction that the middle of the country are more indicative of real Americans is fucking cracked. There is no average. The population is concentrated ON THE COASTS OF AMERICA, MAN. So if you want to play this stupid average game, a guy from New York or LA is more “average”. But this isn’t about that, it’s about tribalism, and archetypes and stuff sold to you by bad movies and bad TV and bad Ford truck commercials. icons created by marketing departments to sell shoes and hamburgers and V10 Tritons.

And you’re swallowing it all. Congrats!
