As an American what should you be MOST ashamed of?

[Rock]

A) The Vietnam War
B) Slavery
C) What we did to the Native Americans
D) Dropping the bomb on Nagasaki/Hiroshima
E) Watergate (and pardoning Nixon)
F) The War in Iraq (and not trying Bush/Cheney as war criminals)

[Alana ~ The Book Pimp]

Hmmmm.... for me it's hard to choose between B, C and D.

But really ALL of them, although I think many, if not most countries have skeletons in their historical closet that the people would be ashamed of.

[Alana ~ The Book Pimp]

Pretty much anyone in a country run by a dictator (now or in the past), at some point probably was ashamed...

[Dr. Detroit]

Backward ball-cap boys
The cult of Kurt Cobain
MTV
The two-minute fighting instigator penalty in hockey

[Rock]

Hey! What's wrogn wtih Kurt Cobain?

[Jenny]

All of the above. Except for the sake of being relevant why the hell have we not tried Bush/Cheney as war criminals yet?

[Dr. Detroit]

What wasn't wrong with him?

I mean if self-loathing, despair, and inner torment turn your crank, then step right up and have at it. It's always puzzled me why grunge "broke" at a time when so many of those guys were emulating early-70's hard rock moves. If grunge equaled Black Sabbath, then did anything really change?

Genius? He married Courtney Love. 'Nuff said...

[S.]

The national debt.
The hypocrisy by which one side blames the other side when both sides have been responsible for spending more and more and more.

[Rock]

Grunge was slightly more that just emulating 70s hard rock. It also incorporated some punk attitude.

I agree that marrying Courtney Love is a real head scratcher. I'm assuming it was mostly based on good oral sex.
