Alright...ya got me on those 2.

Actually, the Spanish American War began with the bombing of the Maine battleship, I believe. And the Mexican American War was in response to the pleas of American citizens who had just been annexed by the US in Texas.

It's since WWII that we have shot first and asked questions later.

Even the New York Times says he uses "slippery logic, tendentious grandstanding and outright demagoguery." And that's from a left-wing paper!

First and foremost, The New York Times is as much of a hawkish paper as everything else was during the war, because it had to be to sell... people want what Fox News tells them to want.

"His style is lazy, his reasoning that he presents and his methods are slipshod and clearly slanted. His movie doesn't even really answer the question of violence in America, it's just another "Let's Hate America" piece."

Bowling For Columbine brings up a lot of interesting points. True, a few (most notably the Dick Clark stuff) was a little over the top, but it does expose a definite fear in America of the unknown (ie: BLACK PEOPLE rather than rich white people) Corporate crime is not punished as much as other crime, though it directly hurts a larger group of people. Instead, they get off practically scot-free, and the prisons get overcrowded with people who simply had an ounce of marijuana in their pocket.

I could talk about the drug war propaganda, but that's another story for another post.

It's because the French are one of the ideal "humanatarian" countries. Yet when they are given the chance to stop some crazy madman like Saddam they do absolutely nothing. I doubt Bush will lose the next election, because the war has boosted his support.

No, it's because the French don't think that a situation like this has to be solved by taking your cock out and smacking people with it. The United States government has some sort of idea that the only diplomacy is "warship diplomacy", wherein we bomb people who have things we want, like oil, resources, a hold in the Middle East, etc. The last thing the French want to see is a Anglo-centric Middle East, where there will be dictatorial rule based on American rules. Considering we completely lack a democracy here, it's not surprising. It's also not surprising that we are doing this, considering we have done it to all of these happy countries as well:

Nicaragua, Panama, Chile, Grenada, South Vietnam (when it was still a country), Iran (we did it when we put the Shah in power, and we want to do it again to the democratic Prime Minister), Haiti.

The United States is an imperialist money-grubber. But so are all of the major powers of the world. If people would start listening to people who are trying to send the real populist message (Michael Moore comes to mind), they'd actually be fucking pissed out of their minds as to how powerful they've allowed corporate fat-cat white men get. However, the people the American people listen to (because they're on the television networks owned by the same fat-cat white men) tell them that the real problem is Michael Moore, liberals, black people, poor people, foreigners, and basically anyone who is not a rich plutocrat. Enron is okay to do, and no one cares, but when Sammy Sosa ends up with a corked bat, it becomes an uproar of an issue. The fact the Bush administration has not found WMD is pushed aside by the news media so they can go cover the Scott Peterson trial. It's fucking ridiculous.

Oh, and with all hope, I hope Bush loses in 2004. However, the Democratic Party is no better. They just lie and say they're helping the people, whereas the Republicans come straight out and say, "We're fucking you over little guy so we can line our pockets and buy our goddamn boats and strippers."

They're not actually lesbians... they just want you to think that so you'll buy the weird Europop without realizing that they aren't actually lesbians... the music isn't that good, though the video is "interesting"

It's a good thing to feel.

America has always been there with relief services for other nations and countries under their luck and who are recieving shit deals from terrorists and corrupt governments. We send in our forces to bring peace and equal justice to the "3rd world" countries who need it the most, but yet, everyone still shits all over us for trying to help. That just fucking pisses me off.
My theory is that everyone is just jealous. Think about it: America runs this fucking planet. We have the food supplies, the army, the industry. It's a shitty reason to hate something, but it's my theory. And I think it holds enough water to be considered a plausible one.

Good point, but you forget that we force 3rd world nations (through World Bank and IMF in particular) to open up their markets and trade with us in return for relief, often causing these nations to cut subsidies on food on the grounds that it's unfair business practice against American multinational corporations. Therefore, these 3rd world nations send food abroad while their people starve. And I wonder why the rest of the world hates us...

Well, judge me how you like, but I'm so pissed off at the Palestinian population. They hate Israel, and they hate America. I've heard a little bit of sympathy for the palestinians and Arafat with all the crap that's been going on lately... May I just remind you all that the Palestinians took to the streets to dance and cheer on 9-11-01? Thus, I think I'm justified in saying "damn dirty Palestinians". The Israelis are fully justified in their actions. (and don't tell me that this belonged on the politics page... no one reads it, and i don't care)

Most of the countries over in the Middle East think we're evil (not to mention a lot of countries elsewhere). The problem with the US is we tend to get in the middle of other people's business. The Palestinians are angry at us for siding with the Israelies. Their beliefs might be different from ours Or even seem Wrong, but we have to look at what they're having to deal with. I think the US has to stop butting in other people's business. I'm still siding with the US though.

We shouldn't have gotten involved in Israel. The Palestinians have the right to a state, something that hard-line Israeli fucks (*cough* ARIEL SHARON *cough*) don't want to see. There needs to be new blood involved.

At 3/10/02 07:57 PM, Septimus wrote: I was reading a few threads about the Blam Club, team BLAM-or, T.H.U.G.S., and other such clubs and a thought came to me. When the auto-portal was created, it was made as a flash free for all, in effects it was almost complete anarchy. (With the exceptions of the NG Crew having to step in to remove stolen movies- but every other occasion they did not interfere with movies.) Eventually, people started to band together against onslaughts of crap and stolen movies- the first one that I can think about was the Guild Of Darkness, but I think there might have been one or two groups before that one.

But does this show that people instinctually have a natural tendency to band together and form more complicated interpersonal relationships that develop into basic governmental systems? What about the relatively short lifespan of these groups- is it because of the high turnover rate with participation in the portal, or is it because the portal is a micro-system and the normal death of a society play out much faster? Is there a basis for this comparison, or am I just pulling this out of my ass? Will people respond to this topic, or will it quickly plummet into the murky depths of the BBS? (Here's hoping that it doesn't degenerate into an "I hAt cLokcs" thread...")

-Septy.

Basically, interest groups. I see the comparison. The Clock Crew is an interest group, the Blam Club is an interst group, the ki1o worship society is an interest group.
