WTF is a "dramedy"? YO! AMERICANS! There is no such thing as a DRAMEDY. It don't exist. Just say "light-hearted drama" or better yet, don't categorize it. My local video store has 57 different categories of movies because people can't stand it if they aren't categorized.

No, I think they are very generous people. Only problem is they are only generous to people they know. And they don't make an effort to get to know anyone. And they have no concept of world affairs. Less than 23% of Americans have a passport, meaning hardly any of them go overseas and see the rest of the world. And the end result is that smaller countries having local problems (like people running around with American made guns) suddenly get "help" from the US. This usually means the US takes one side and helps them bomb the crap out of the other side.

And they fuck up the English language by making up stupid words like dramedy.

and this deals with a movie how? how often do you go out of your way to help a stranger? a little too easy to sit back and play armchair philanthropist these days. who really cares if only 23% of americans have a passport? why do we have to worry about going to other countries when we have our own things to deal with here. and you do realize that 23% pecent of americans is still roughly 69,000,000 people right? that in and of it self is larger than most european countries i would think. and as far as fucking up the english language goes, unless you speak in thee's and thou's, i think you have done a fine job of fucking it up yourself.

I don't know why you guys worry about other countries, and YES America has MORE than enough problems it self! But:

China 1945-1946, 1950-1953
Korea 1950-1953
Guatemala 1954, 1960, 1967-1969
Indonesia 1958
Cuba 1959-1961
Vietnam 1961-1973
Congo 1964
Laos 1964-1973
Peru 1965
Cambodia 1969-1970
Lebanon 1983-84
Grenada 1983
Libya 1986
El Salvador 1980s
Nicaragua 1980s
Panama 1989
Bosnia 1995
Sudan 1998
Serbia 1999
Afghanistan 1998, 2001-2003
Iraq 1991-2003

These are the countries America has bombed since the end of WWII. And the sad thing is BECAUSE AMERICANS DON'T TRAVEL, most of you couldn't find even half of them on the map! And yes you are correct in your belief that mst European countries have a population of less than 69,000,000 people. So what does that prove? Do you have any ambition to get off your fat ass and see the world?

It's ok, I know you're trying to be patriotic. You have to do that because everyone in America is afraid the big, bad Arabs will try to take away your freedom. So you gave it up yourselves with The Patriot Act. You think the WTC bombing was a shock? The 21 nations in that list think that too!

But just because you've got a big population doesn't mean you're the best.

And "dramedy" still isn't a word!

you forgot to mention the wars that the canadians took part in. if it wasn't for the fact that canada's air force is a bunch of hang gliders, i am pretty sure they would be in iraq now as well.

alex, seeing as you are new here, i just want to point you to the rules list. you will find rule 2 mentions malicious in there. going around insults groups of people (americans in this case) would fall into that catagory. if you feel you need to show others your nationalistic tendencies, i am sure there are forums specifically for this. may i suggest white storm front, you may find other idiots there for you to get along with.

let's reverse this, if i was to come on this board and say, oh, i don't know maybe something pertaining to the fact that your country is so damned lazy that instead of controlling itself, they let some old senile whore of a queen and her faggot of a son an ocean away rule them, you wouldn't like it would you?

You forgot about Tony Blair......................

[Alex H]

And aside from Americans thnking they run the plannet...THERE IS STILL NO SUCH WORD AS DRAMEDY!

[Darth Sushi]

Can we just live in peace in this forum? Every member of this forum has no control over their respective government's actions. All Americans are not all pro-Bush, all Brits are not all pro-Blair, all Canadians are not all hockey buffs, all Saudi citizens are not all Muslims (yes, there are Christians and Jews there also), etc, etc. Yes, I'm American; no I did not vote for Bush. And everybody in this forum does not support everything their government does so enough with the bashing.

Peace

[UKMan]

At least i didnt have click on a link to read it............yawn........

Sorry to dissapoint anyone here, but "bashing" anyone because of race is not cosher and i respectfully encourage you all to stop.

Peace

[Alex H]

Sorry all, that was my own personal little fight with HeavyMetalParkingLot. So let's drop the bashing.

However, there is still no such word as DRAMEDY

Thats better -

However, the word is famous for the fact it DIDNT make it into the dictionaries:
h**p://www.pseudodictionary.com/search.php?letter=d&browsestart=660

Scroll down a bit and you will find it - interesting anyways....maybe....oh well, maybe not then

DRAMEDY

Dramedy is best understood as a television program genre which fuses elements of comedy and drama. According to Altman (1986) new genres emerge in one of two ways: "either a relatively stable set of semantic givens is developed through syntactic experimentation into a coherent and durable syntax, or an already existing syntax adopts a new set of semantic elements." Semantic elements are the generic "building blocks" out of which of program genres are constructed--those recurring elements such as stock characters, common traits, and technical features such as locations and typical shots. Syntax, or syntactic features, describes the ways these elements are related and combined. The recurring combination of semantic and syntactic elements creates a conventional type or category of program called a genre.
