[QUOTE=Jimmicrackedcorn]Cue the raising of the Star Spangled Banner, waving, gently in the wind, but even if there was no wind, it would sway, cuz god damnit its free! In the background the grand canyon can be seen, with an american bald eagle, in profile shot. Then as the flag reaches the top, the Eagle flys off with Uncle Sam, like Gandalf the White in lord of the rings.
I had tears in my eyes reading that..thanks!
america is not going anywhere. sooner or later this country will have an epiphany and realize that (some of) our attitudes towards the rest of the world are terrible and need to be changed.
remember who's in the white house right now. THINGS WILL CHANGE eventually. either that or world war 3 breaks out and nuclear holocaust ensues... but i don't think that's gonna happen.
ummm, man you are really wrong on so many levels with that sentence LOL... beacons of light don't attack and bully other countries for no good reason... and rome was nowhere near a beacon of light so the entire sentence is false but w/e buddy think what you want.Quote:

i just want to let all of you non-americans reading this know that WE ARE NOT ALL LIKE SBSKICO1 AND THESE OTHER IDIOTS!!! some of us enjoy using reason to make their arguments!
and america is not the only country with freedom of speech ... we may declare that we have it in our constitution but that doesn't mean other countries don't have it.

To say that the rest of the world hates is way off. sure the middle east hates us, but they hate everyone. you don't see german or french UN inspectors being let in anywhere. And the idea that europe hates us is absurd, we just need to get over all the mistrust leftover from the past(remember the balkans?)
fuck this thread, everyone just stop posting on it and let it die.

PIXAL:
Perfection in an imperfect world is impossible. people vote. the policies of the U.S. is based in part on WHO the PEOPLE VOTE for. Therefor, if enough people believe as you do(and THANK GOD they don't)the U.S. won't have the foreign policy you seem to hate so much. I think that's what bugs you so much, being in the minority.
If so many people hate the U.S. why are so many people trying to get here? If the U.S. is so bad, people would be trying to get out.
We don't stop people from copy our system of government. So you tell me, why do we have what we have, and others don't?
Oh, by the way, THE FIRST RULE IN DEBATE IS TO ATTACK THE ARGUMENT, NOT THE PERSON.
People attack the speaker when reason fails.
Those who hate us are jealous because of what we have. It's that simple.
You actually think some joe(in another country)trying like most of us just to get by, spends any real time thinking about the geo/political policies of the U.S.?
You think 5.75 billion people hate you? Do they even know you? Sending Christmas cards would be a nightmare. Suggestion though, use the self-adhesive stamps. They'll save your tongue.
At least we can both agree that we like weed.
I don't agree with your political views, but I'll respect them.
Peace
