All for change...but not too much?

You don't live here. I don't know if you have in the past, but you don't right now. Therefore, I do not take your opinion into account, as it is irrelevant.

I dont think that is a very nice thing to say, what happend to freedom of speech your post does not reflect your signature ie No one is free as long as someone is oppressed.. you cant' stop someone voicing there opinion just because they don't live in your country.

John McCain is nearly 100% carbon copy of *hitler*cough*.

So one has to be an American to have an opinion on America?

Seems like a pretty closed minded viewpoint. :jointsmile:

How I LOVE partisan politics. :giggity:

Have a good one!:s4:

all i know is when we f**k around all over the world and we value freedom of speech and thought so much... other people's peaceful expression of their opinions certainly matters to us.

Our economy and foreign policy can have direct impact on day to day life of millions of non-americans, get your facts str8 man!

we are no different than other nations, we ALL came from non-american ancestors after all didnt we? so why is it we always think we are masters of the world and we can do what we want how n when we want without even taking into account non-americans opinion

u can never see urself for who u r, until u look into a mirror or a recorded movie or picture, which is how u r viewed from outside, AN EXTERNAL POV!

one can be 350 lbs and still feel sexy inside, but i bet 300 lbs of fat wont look all that sexy to most ppl out there (no offense to fat ppl, im just trying to make an example)

or u can think u have whatever trait u think u have, but if 8 out of 10 ppl u meet tell u, u aint got it, u better kinda revise your own view and make sure u r on the right track, not that means u must change how u think, but if u r smart enough u will "take it into account"

"Clowns to the Left of me...Jokers to the Right"...stuck in the middle with you...:thumbsup:...what, ever happened to the "silent majority"?

Why does everyone think I hate freedom of speech? If I must, I'll clarify.

He can say whatever he wants, I just won't read it or take it into account because it's OUR country. Especially when it comes to politics. This is the problem with our country....we're more than willing to let other nations help decide OUR fate, most likely so WE can help decide THEIRS. James Monroe is tossing in his grave, badly.

Besides, the majority of this thread is about American internal politics, not foriegn policy. I don't like having people who dont live here trying to get in on my country's political scene.

No doubt. I'm not trying to hate or anything, I'm just a fan of internal politics staying that way. I'm sort of isolationist like that, I dont like getting involved with other countries and I dont like them getting involved in ours. Just the way I am.

[Smudgeyboy]

I am the same man, sovereign nations all the way

If we can help each other through the development of our own countries peacefully though can you imagine the advances mankind could make?
That's what gets me man...how good could the world be? If only...

No need to worry about that one here. EVERYONE has the right to his/her opinion without being called rude names, etc.. If you feel the need to, as you did, lash out at those who deserve it; the ones that screwed up the political system in the first place.

I may not agree with what you had to say in full but you have the right to state it without personal attacks. Now if McCain or Obama decide to join the site, one of us may have to mellow out a bit.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

i bet u feel now why half those foreigners hate us now right?
the point is, whether u like it or not, thats an input an intelligent person will take into account. only ignorant characters and selfish ones say "its none of your business"

just get back to weed example: I love weed, its no1's business if i smoke it to myself, but i certainly take into account any and all information out there about it, whether false or true and will use both to better my judgment and decisions; the false ones only strengthen my beliefs and the true ones will have some role in keeping me inline: in fact its none of the govts business if i smoke weed, but in reality they are part of it and are considered a risk to my life in this regard, i better know what a policeman thinks about weed despite me disagreeing with his views and him being almost totally irrelevant entity to my personal life/decisions.

whether we like it or not or want to believe it or not, we have interfered with many instances of other countries' internal affairs and political situations and in some cases without having any interest in doing so just for sake of asserting our power. and we continue to do so. its a globalized world that we live and WE, the USA certainly impact other countries in many different ways, so it really should not hurt that much opening our eyes and ears to some alternative views from outside, although i give it to ya, they are not the ones who vote so they dont get to "decide" but our decision should better include as many factors as possible to be a good one and an educated one.
