but i could make up the same crap about your country to.....

lol
i know that it came off saying that they shouldn't be attacking us after we came in and fought to help them.... but the latest attack was from citezens to the US Military.... that's why i got so upset and i'm sorry...
BTW, we just sent 100,000 soldiers to iraq today
 
face it, 'democracy' doesn't work, and countries don't want the US pushing it onto them. granted, saddam was a bit of a prick and he needed to be removed. but wading in swinging your dick and mouthing off will not get results.

as bill hicks once said 'let's just evolve the way we think, let's evolve ideas'. you know what he's talking about? he's talking about doing things 'the right way'. an example, when british troops were in iraq they'd be curteous but firm and would always help civilians. the US troops would do the same, but with an attitude like nothing. they refused to take their sunglasses off, refused to lower their guns. how do i know this? i have a friend in the Royal Engineers. granted the US soldiers probably have reason to do this, but you guys just can't think more than five minutes in front of your faces can you? all these kids in the world are seeing the US as big bullies, going over and bombing and destroying to spread 'democracy'. they're gonna grow up hating the US just like their parents did. it's never gonna stop. the kids will become terrorists and inevitably you'll have to fight back. so 'let's evolve ideas' and stop bombing and whatever else. then they'll have no reason to hate you. simple as that.

While your friend is probably telling the truth, I don't see how you can say it's true for every single soldier in both the American and British armed forces. I'm sure there are people in the American armed forces who were curteous but firm and people in the British armed forces who were asshole who refused to take their sunglasses off or lower their guns.
Also you say Democracy doesn't work. What does work? Dictatorship? Communism? Monarchy? I live in England and 'Democracy' (Not actual Democracy, but close enough since we still have a monarch hence a constitutional monarchy), works fine for me. Perhaps you meant that making [forcing], democracy on countries doesn't work, I don't know, but I think it's quite unfair to say it doesn't work when Western countries are working fine with it.
 
i live in england as well, and it's clear democracy doesn't work. i didn't suggest any other forms of government because i simply have no idea. communism works IN THEORY, but in practice it doesn't work, same with democracy.

can you say that you're happy with the state of our country? can any US citizens say they're completely happy with the state of their country? are they content with the leadership and do they trust their leaders? i certainly am not. this country has been a monarchy/democracy for a long time now and very little progress is made. still stuck in a rut.

what form of leadership do you think would work? or should we stick with democracy and rework it somehow, or even 'evolve our ideas'.

people seem to overlook that sometimes.....


I hope you do realize the USA is not the only country in the world giving money to help others.

I think you meant,

"imagine how great our country would be if we spent all our money on ourselves.....instead of the billions we use to wage war and kill people."

i don't know a better way that's why i was asking you lot.
 
Not really surprising Alzxul, with the USA being almost the largest and wealthiest country in the world.
But still, don't make it sound like the USA is the only country in the world giving money.

So far the USA have invested more money in destroying Iraq than to rebuild it.
 
Can't we all just get along? Seriously! Thats what i'm talking about, everyone is so quick to point out the bad side of America, but no one (in other countries) is willing to say a good thing about us, and our people.. If you can look past your stereotypes and generalizations of Americans, you will find that the majority of people here are nice/kind caring and friendly people, why does it always have to be "my country is better than yours" why don't we all work together? Our government (at least not the current one) is not a representation of how all Americans feel, or even the majority for that matter, if you were to ask me how I would handle foriegn policy I would tell you "I would get rid of all the weapons of mass destruction in the middle east, meaning I would demand Israel destroys their WMD, Arial Sharon (sp?) would be in front of a war crimes tribunal right now, The U.N. along with the current coalition would be working together in Iraq to clean up the mess there, Afghanistan would get the money and aid they were promised, the billions upon billions spent on military weapons production would be cut dramatically to support food/medical here at home and abroad, the department of homeland security would be abolished because its a freakin joke, the patriot act would never see the light of day, Bush, Perle, Wolfowitz, Rumsfield would all be behind bars for war crimes, and North Korea would be promised security so they would start destroying their weapons program. And I would personally (if I were president) appologize to the world for the ignorance, and actions taken before my induction into office...."
 
i don't hate americans, where have i said that? i think i'm just trying to get a bit of ranting done. in reality nothing will change and we'll continue complaining.

No I think he meant what he said. America gives the most amount of money away in foreign aid than any other country, $240 billion a year.

Um, that figure doesn't really mean anything without a relative comparison. Its like saying "red cars crash more often", well duuuhh, there are more red cars on the road.

EDIT: I also agree with the next post ->
 
The predicability of this thread is boring.

when did i ever say i agreed with going into iraq...? do you take me for some rightwing nut who wants to conquer the world?

you internet toughguys need to direct your anger of not being in control at someone else.

id like to see one of you come to america and say these things to somone in person.......


if you were standing in front of bush on live tv you wouldnt have the stones to tell him off......

so why now?....do you talk to me like this


you make its sound like the american people as a whole are evil......im suprised you dont try and talk like a telivision avangelist....theres a guy on another forum i go to who kind of does that.....

America is the devil!

They are heathens and scum! Can i get an Amen! AMEN!
 
It suddenly occurs to me that there is probably no point in ever getting involved in these kind of arguments.

*levels-up*
 
For Crabcakes:

Wow, that's one way of overreacting.
You have issues dude.

I was just saying you're making it sound like the USA is the only one handing out money.

I believe you were calling out the "internet toughguys" in your previous post.
Open your eyes because you're acting like one yourself.

An overly patriotic one.


edit: Oh, and why wouldn't i have the ballz to tell Dubya what's on my mind?
I'd really like to talk to the man actually. Tell him what's on my mind.
Not that he'd care or anything.

ah and there main defense.....trying to act more mature when there called out......



ive got you guys strategy down.......
 
Like i said man, you really have issues.
Read my first post again, but in a calm way.

Maybe then you'll see why you're overreacting, and why your shitty rant aimed at me was uncalled for.

I'm not offended though, i mean, who are you anyway? Heh.
 
I kinda feel like getting into this argument. :) To tell you the truth I think those europeans guys are jealous of are great nation.Espeacially Brits.Kinda mad that we beat you guys in the revolutionary war?Mad by the fact that we beat them and all of a sudden we became one of the worlds greatest powers in 1700's/1800's.Then we became the only superpower left in the 20th/21st century.

War is what make countries.When will you people understand that?As long as there are human beings there will be war.It's in are nature, but yet you people protest and waist your time saying peace.When there will never be peace.America is great is because we went to war.Its what created this nation and helped keep others safe.We are the only ones
(britian helps somtimes, but bitch about it later on) willing to put are lives, money, and honor to help keep nations safe and secure and to keep this world from blowing its self up from the inside out.

That is our job as americans.
 
Well I can tell a flame war is about to start.So badger might as well close this thread.Anways I have to go to the doctor soon for my damn shot. :(

Look at your post up here, THERE IS NOTHING TO RESPOND TO.
It's all bullshit flames, NO ARGUMENTS whatsoever.
Really now, what the **** am i supposed to say to that crap?

You're just here because you love to flame people.

Go to school, learn how to write, see the bigger picture and grow up.
Then you can pick a fight with me.

You picked a fight with me by editing my comment .....dont forget that.

I have not flamed you once.

Just becuase you dont like what im saying doesnt mean its a flame.

I thought you were made of sterner stuff bastard...... you attack me and and my country and then dont have the balls to back it up.
 
Do not worry about me, crabcakes.
My balls are still with me, and big enough to crush small rodents.

So, once again, what arguments have you posted that still require my attention? That i'm a ranting America-basher? What?

What exactly do you mean that needs backing up from me?
Specify.

God the reason he wouldnt say that to some american is cos ure so damn patriotic and defend your country to the end of the world.

That is our job as americans.

Since you are the biggest and bestest :p you should set a good example by avoiding war.

Look guys I may seem like an american basher but really its not ure guys fault its ure government and particular companies, its not just war, there are serious enviromental issues and big TNCs coming in and screwing up some 3rd world's economy. I mean god we dont just hate it for no reason along with millions of others.
 
We try to set an example.Before WW1 we tried to be neutral and declare peace.But what happend?We went to war because germany attacked the Lusitiana(probally not spelled correctly) and tried to get mexico to attack us.WW2 we tried to stay neutral and declare peace.But what happend?Japanesse attacked Pearl Harbor.Since then we have decided to help put this world back in order.Get rid of communism and tyrants (and no don't say Bush is one because he isn't due to congress).Untill the day that the world is united under one goverment there will be wars.If every country in this world were democratic there might be peace.But I can tell thats never going to happen.

im only patriotic when I see things like:

"imagine how great our country would be if we spent all our money on ourselves.....instead of the billions we use to wage war and kill people."

if comments like that were made about your country you would be patriotic to.....atleast i hope you would.

I say we bring all our troops back, put more resources towards becoming self reliant, giving the boot to "Big Oil" (including Bush), and let social Darwinism sort out the rest of the world.
