從佛傑尼亞理工屠殺案,看中美兩國人民的理性和寬容度

(2007-04-18 00:17:54) 下一個


首先,金筆承認筆者也象廣大的國人和網友一樣,當看到那個槍手的真實身份被證實不是中國人是,長長的舒了一口氣。多懸哪,要是他......真不敢想象那後果了!

幸好不是咱們中國人是不是?可是,美國人是怎麽看待這事件的呢?

金筆今天跟幾個比較熟識的美國友人或長或短的交談了這一事件,發現美國人最關心的就是,這是不是一起恐怖襲擊事件。如果不是恐怖分子所為,那這就是一件孤立事件,是凶手本人作惡,無關他人,或其他種族。

美國人民並沒有表現出將此一事件泛化的跡象來。即使這個槍手是咱中國人的話,金筆鬥膽預測,美國人民的反應也還會是相同的。這兩天,金筆仔細觀察了美國各大新聞媒體對這一事件的報道和反應,實際上美國各大新聞媒體的報道是相當完整,反應也是相當謹慎的。在凶殺的身份公布以前,沒有一家做了不當渲染。倒是咱們中國人自己和一些新聞媒體在那裏顛三倒四,胡亂猜測,並妄加評論。

記得前不久,在鹽湖城的一家購物中心也發生過一起屠殺案。凶殺是一位來自波斯尼亞的難民。雖然那事件也是死傷多名,但是美國人民也是平靜的接受了這一事件。中國總理溫家寶,上一次以副總理的身份訪問美國時,在美國商界為他召開的歡樂會上致詞時說 (大意),他在美國人民對九一一恐怖襲擊的反應中,看到了一個偉大的民族,使他充滿了敬佩之情。

美國人民在這些突發事件中所表現出來的平穩,沉靜,理性,寬容,以及不屈不饒精神確實值得咱們中國人學習。試想一下,假如這一事件發生在中國,一個美國青年槍殺了三十個中國人,那該是怎樣的一種局麵呢?天安門廣場上,上海人民廣場上,長安街,南京路,會不會人潮洶湧?又假如,這一事件是發生在韓國,或日本,那又會是怎樣一種結局呢?

在我們反複的慶幸這個槍手不是咱們中國人時,在我們斷定假如他是中國人時,(按照我們的猜測) 美國會怎樣,怎樣的對待我們中國人的同時,我們是不是仍在 "以小人之心,度君子之腹" 呢?

我們有沒有需要反思的地方呢?

我們有沒有需要向美國人民學習的地方呢?

海外小市民 回複 悄悄話 反美主義指南

向各位朋友問好(這裏說的"朋友",指的是除美國人以外的所有人)!多年以來,"右派新聞網"(譯注:Right Wing News/Brass Knuckles Webzine,這是兩個保守派姊妹網站,都由本文作者John Hawkins主持。)被指責為太傾向美國,為了撇清這些指責,我們決定撰寫一份"反美主義指南"。如果你想迅速融入歐洲式晚餐聚會,或者反全球化示威抗議,或者哈佛大學全係例會這樣的場合,請務必閱讀這篇反美指南。

如果對事情有什麽懷疑,譴責美國:因為美國一切邪惡的根源,你可以確定如果你的生命裏有任何不好的事情發生,那一定和美國有什麽關係。例如,在冬季奧運會上,一個法國裁判和一個俄國裁判耍陰謀使得一對加拿大花樣滑冰選手失去金牌,俄國裁判譴責美國就非常順理成章。盡管美國和這個事件沒有任何直接關係,但是因為他們是很壞很壞的人,他們應該被譴責。

把美國當成共產主義獨裁政權:所有反美的大好人都理解,對所有美國的行為,都要譴責美國政府,而不是美國人,盡管是美國人投票選出了美國政府。而且,我們理解盡管美國的新聞電視和廣播都說自己是獨立的,但是美國政府秘密的控製它們,以便通過媒體給愚蠢的美國人洗腦,讓他們攜帶槍支,投票支持死刑,討厭貝雷帽。

你一生應該到美國訪問一次:我知道現在你一定在想,"我為什麽要去美國?那裏除了一群胖胖的,無知的鄉下文盲和牛仔互相開玩笑以外,還有什麽?"確實如此!但是一旦你去了一次美國,你就可以永遠宣稱自己了解美國的一切,因為你真的去過那了。

排除感激心理:一些人因為自己仇恨美國而有沉重的負罪感,原因是美國解放了他們的國家,給他們帶來民主,並給了他們價值幾十億美元的援助,等等。千萬別有這種感覺。很可能美國幫助你們,是因為這樣他們才能賣給你們麥當勞漢堡,或者因為這樣他們才能把你的國家標誌毀了以便開采石油。別被美國人騙了!

揮舞美國國旗太粗野了:沒有什麽比一群揮舞星條旗高喊"USA USA USA"的美國佬更讓人厭煩的了。我的意思是,你在咖啡館吃蝸牛配魚子醬的時候會高喊"法國法國法國"嗎?

否認自己反美:很重要的一點是,你在陳述你是多麽痛恨美國的所有事情和所有美國人的時候,一定要否認你反美。這讓美國人發狂!如果他們要求你指出美國有什麽地方你喜歡,你可以嚐試給他們一個左派風格的讚美,比如"美國的大學有很多優秀的教授,他們好像理解美國在世界扮演的壓迫者的角色。我當然很仰慕他們。"

美利堅帝國:另外一個重要的方麵是,強調這個明顯的事實,那就是美國正在試圖成為一個像古羅馬一樣的帝國...不對...更準確地說,是像成吉思汗建立的那種帝國。所以蘇聯不得不侵略那麽多國家,以便阻止美帝國主義的霸權!當然很多人不相信這個說法,但等到加拿大人變成奴隸,修造布什金字塔的時候,世界會清醒過來的。

美國人無知:美國人對其他國家出奇的無知,更差勁的是,他們對其他國家根本不在乎!比如說,問一個美國人"西班牙的財政部長是誰?"當他們回答"不知道。這有什麽關係?"的時候,你迎頭痛擊說"西班牙沒有財政部長!這是個套兒,你這個愚蠢的美國人怎麽會一點不介意?你怎麽回事?忙著揮舞星條旗而沒有時間關注這個事情嗎?你們美國人完全是一群白癡!"注意隻在網絡論壇或聊天室說這些話,因為美國人看了太多John Wayne的西部片,他們認為挑釁是可以拳頭相見的。我說過他們是野蠻人嗎?

美國人的善良是圈套:非常要緊的一點是,不要被美國人表麵上的"好行為"騙了。就比如說向阿富汗空投食品。美國人很明顯是想把人們引向地雷區,或者用空投的食品把他們砸死。這是個狡猾的伎倆(對美國佬來說這夠狡猾了,哈哈哈),但是我們不會放過他們的!

祝賀你!關於反美主義,你已經知道了所有你需要知道的一切。現在你可以穿上你的套頭衫,吃著你的乳蛋餅,鄙視美國人引以為傲的一切了!反美主義萬歲!



The BKW Guide to Anti-Americanism
by John Hawkins
http://www.rightwingnews.com/humor/anti-american.php

Greetings friends (and by friends I mean everyone but Americans)! BKW has long been accused of being too pro-American and in order to refute these scandalous charges we've decided to write a "Guide to Anti-Americanism." If you've ever wanted to fit in at European Dinner Parties, Anti-globalism protests, or at a Harvard faculty meeting this is an article you must read!

When in Doubt, Blame America: Since America is the root of all evil, you can be assured that every bad thing that happens in your life is the result of something America did. So for example, in the Winter Olympics when a French ice skating judge conspired with a Russian judge to cheat a pair of Canadian skaters out of a gold medal it made perfect sense that the Russians blamed America. Even if America wasn't directly responsible for everything that happened, they deserve to be blamed because they're bad, bad, people!

Treat America like a Communist Dictatorship: All good Anti-Americans understand that the American government is to blame for America's actions, not the American people despite the fact that the American people vote in the government. Furthermore, we understand that despite the fact that American newspapers, TV, and radio claim to be independent, the government secretly controls them all in order to convince stupid Americans to carry guns, vote for the death penalty, and to loathe berets.

You Should Visit America Once in Your Life: Now I know you're thinking "why would I want to visit America? There's nothing there but a bunch of fat, ignorant, hillbillies and cowboys amusing each other with fart jokes." True! But once you've been to America once you can claim forever more to know all about it because you've actually been there!

Gratitude Smatitude: Some people feel pangs of guilt about hating America since Americans liberated their nation, brought Democracy to their country, have given them billions in aid, etc. Don't be a sucker. America probably only helped you so they could sell you more McDonald's hamburgers or so they could tear up your national landmarks to drill for oil. Don't be fooled!

That Flag Waving is so Gauche: Nothing could be more annoying than a bunch of flag waving Americans chanting USA, USA, USA. I mean have you ever chanted France, France, France while eating escargot and caviar at a caf? Of course not! What a bunch of barbarians!

Denying Anti-Americanism: It's very important that you deny being anti-American while ranting obsessively about how much you hate everything and everyone in America. This drives Americans crazy! If they press you to find something you like about America (Ha, ha! Yeah right) try to give them a left-handed compliment like "American universities have many brilliant professors who seem to understand America's oppressive role in the world. I certainly admire them."

Empire America: It's very important to state the obvious fact that America is trying to create an empire much like Rome...no..better yet, like Ghengis Khahn did! That's why the Soviet Union had to invade so many countries, to stop American imperialism and hegemony! Of course a lot of people don't believe that but when the Canadians are made into slaves so they can build the "Bush pyramids" I think the world will wake up!

American Ignorance: American's are appallingly ignorant of other nations and worse yet, don't care! For example, ask an American who the Treasury Secretary of Spain is? When they say "No clue. What difference does it make?" Hit them with "There is no Treasury Secretary of Spain! It was a trick question and how can you not care you stupid American? What are you, too busy waving your stupid flag to pay attention? You Americans are morons!" Make sure to say things like this on internet forums and chat rooms because American's tend to watch too many John Wayne movies and think being insulted may be a good reason to fight. Have I called them barbarians yet?

The Trojan Horse of American Kindness: It is vitally important not to let America get away with what appear to be "good deeds." Take food drops in Afghanistan. The Americans were obviously trying to lead people into mine fields or kill them by squashing them with food packets. It was a clever trick (for Americans, har, har, har) but we're on to you!


Congratulations! You've now learned everything you'll need to know about anti-Americanism. You can now wear your turtleneck, eat your quiche, and sneer at everything American with pride! Viva la Anti-Americanism!
