They seem to forget that if you're not a native American, then you're a migrant!

Liek OMFG! Some Americans are racist to people from Europe, which is routinely satirized and stereotyped in the media, especially with this entire "Old Europe" debacle Rummy started? Call teh MODZ! [/sarcasm]

Well actually, America has done some good. It's not in the media, so no one knows about it. Sigh...

It's not in the media? hahahahahahsfas. "LIBERATION! FREEDOM! PEACE! More details on your local Fox News station"

I mean, they send aid to a few dozen countries (less after that Int'l Court immunity refusal thing), are reconstructing two countries, and get involved (sometimes needlessly) in conflicts around the globe. Most of these wouldn't have threatened the homeland, but they did it anyway: Kosovo, Bosnia...

That's two, and WWII. That's 3.

OK so not everything should be resolved by force. But at least there's someone to look to when you need leverage in a heated debate.

Yes there is, the U.N.

Rebuilding Europe after World War II?

That was nearly 60 years ago. Now, what have they done more recently in nations such as, ooh, let's start with Afghanistan and Iraq, then move backwards?

Leading the democratic nations in the Cold War and resisting dictatorial communism?

Wow, they were spearheading the biggest PR campeign in the 20th Century, which was a pointless exercise in keeping The People scared shitless.

Then theres the fact that, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, your President was so doped up on painkillers he'd be more likely to zonk out and collapse on The Button than do anything worthwhile. The latest Kennedy papers stated just what dosage he was on, and it makes scary reading considering the times he was in charge.

Giving massive amounts of foreign aid and then forgiving many of the debts?

Such as Argentina?

Being one of the top countries in the world for technology and innovation, giving us much of our modern technology?

See also: Japan, Germany. I don't hear them crowing about that one when defending themselves from Reality.

America helped Europe rebuild? — Must have been some kind of plot.
America gives lots of foreign aid? — Must be a hidden agenda.

You know, that's the line Jimswhine used about France in...which Congo did he decide it was again?

You have a preconceived idea that America has always been and always will be wrong and thus, your cynicism will twist or change anything to support that idea.

You have a preconceived idea that America has always been and always will be right and thus, your patriotism will twist or change anything to support that idea.

Same "argument", with a couple of words changed. Does it stand up? That's for your subconscious to decide.

When thinking about America remember: "There are two sides to everything, so what is more likely, that America always wrong and destructive, or that I’m only choosing to see one side of the picture."

Yes, Black and White. That's how Bush sees things, despite the fact it is wrong, WRONG, WRONG. Sahdes of grey, not polarised opposites. Get that idea into your heads, and learn something for a change.

Well, 10% of you elected him...

Nothing to do with it seems pretty endemic among all Americans - Good/Evil, Right/Wrong, Black/White, American/Other. Jeez, just rifle though the ramblings of Commander, Jimsween, 7OTA, BinLadenMustDie, panik, NemesisZ (sic) - the list grows from there into all of those that are having a witchunt against the fucking Dixie Chicks, for Christ's sake.

You're just represented by him internationally, and that's about all he's there for. Learn this, and try and be different - for the sake of the next 14 generations, for starters...

you realize i hate him

he didnt get in by popular vote he got in by electoral college

As opposed to bombing people.

The UN just watches as other nations are destroyed, and doesn't have the urge to help them.

Give me an example.

It takes more than 5 million citizens to die in order for the UN to take notice.

What about the U.S? It takes only 3 000 AMERICANS to die before they take notice of other countrie's problems and pretend to solve them. By the way, the U.N. has deployed troops in Congo for the longest time. You don't know squat about this, good sir.

If the UN was quick, and sent in troops right after the Democratic Republic of Congo went up iun flames, Somalia, and Liberia, I bet some problems would of gotten solved.

Yes, then the U.N. would've also been a target in the 9-11 attacks. Nice way to solve things, forcefully dictating the regimes of other countries.

The government that was there before coups could quickly be rebuilt, and the blood would not of been shed.

As proven by Iraq. No blood was shed and the pre-Saddam government was reinstated in no time. </SARCASM> (For you sarcasm-impaired people.)

But of course, the UN only goes in when the rebels have dug in and taken over the government.

While America digs in and topples over governments. Or takes notice when a few planes are flown into their buildings.

If the UN was more aggressive in taking down evil dictators, some problems would of been cured by now.

Which evil dictators?

Stupid UN, huh?

LOL DOOD the un sux and teh US ROCKS!!!1

:The UN is poweress because most countries just follow their own policy if the UN doesn't agree with it.

Uh, no. That is the complete opposite of how the U.N. works. I suggest that you visit their website or read some sort of book before making any more claims about the U.N.

Fuck agreed ^^^^

The UN isnt some extension of the rich capitalist white man, its UNITED NATIONS, which include many nations from around the world

The decisions have to be put through alot of chances to be held up, then theres the veto powers which only one country needs to possess, before you slag on UN actions, pick one that annoys you, then track it down to see who vetoed it, or claimed to, you will find that countries have their own not so secret agendas within the UN, and if it doesnt work, its because the powerful nations arent very UNITED at all

True, unless you're reading Harry Potter, cos thats crap.

I see my little statement made some impact! Someone even used it as his sig! To that person: You can remove the "-PZY- wrote" stuff. You take the honour.

But my opinion on that is that USA is needed, but they also tend to overreact and to things too impulsive. And some times they don't react at all.
USA has such differences, so there is no wonder that it does all sorts of things. I am glad I have the US to watch over the world as an eagle.

But the eagle is a bird of prey. Strong, agile and fearsome, but not necisarely smart...

But too easily killed if only one. You'd need a swarm to pack a punch.

I hate when people blame everything on america. Tell me something, where did the nazi's come from? hmmm, how about when another country gets to be as strong and powerful as america then everyone can go off and hate them. Until then, FUCK OFF!!!

Give me a break here! I am only 13 years old, not even from an english speaking country.

And I think picking on someones spelling is OK as long as you don't make fun of it. But it is OK, cause I need to learn those damn words anyway.

Where did I say I was smart?

And where did the KKK come from? Honestly, every country in the world has a bunch of nutters in it. There are a lot of old Nazis living in the USA. When did people start hating America because they were rich? People don't hate Japan, and the Japanese are rolling in it. People dislike America mainly because of it's "Bite Me" foreign policy.

Japan's economy is on a steady downhill, or am I wrong?
Every country has its flaws, because ppl is not perfect. The reason ppl Hate usa is because they shoot first, think afterwards.

But I think we need that, or nothing would happen.

-I agree with all that stuff. All you people who hate America really have no clue whats goin on. And how America and Americans help the world. Maybe we should post threads about all the things your nation did wrong? And I agree with the posts before that explained how it wasnt Americas fault. So stop bein simple minded fools and actually know some shit before lookin like a hateful jackass.

-I saw a post before about 'Native Americans'. There is no true 'Native Americans' because every single person in America came from somewhere else. Like a boat or land bridge. And Europeans, Asians and everyone else came from Africa. So in a way everyone is a immigrant so STFU with all this pure nationality shit.

Umm...maybe you don't know what a native American is. Does it clear it up more if I say Indian? They did come over on a land bridge where present day Alaska is(that no longer exists) but they are considered native Americans and that is what people are talking about when they mention Native American.

But they came from somewhere and eventually trace back to Africa like all homo sapiens do.
