why is FUCK YOU! an all-american term? - because when you are invited to a public hearing, the government usually says FUCK YOU! SHUT UP! (in a very nice way) then either shoots you with a taser and/or incarcerates you - and/or when thousands of americans rise up to protest an illegal war, the government says FUCK YOU! GO AWAY! then proceeds to plunder foreign countries [and no matter who has them; merely having nuclear weapons ready to deploy is also a very big way of saying FUCK YOU! - just as international diplomacy is more often than not a very nice way of saying FUCK YOU! UFF DA! as well] - and the lik roper term 'the rising fingers of true deepened democracy answer to no one'; quite eloquently expresses dissent and/or defiance in the face of [government etc] oppression > also; as a lesson to overly-sensitive modern gang members who often shoot each other over the displaying of 'gang signs'; well, back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, glam rockers like motley crue etc used the FUCK YOU! middle finger flip as a cool way of saying HELLO! to others - because what's cooler? saying 'hey there!' to your aquaintances, or flipping them off? - you guessed it; FUCK YOU! - so there you have it; FUCK YOU! is an all-american term to be celebrated, not abhorred...
