Is that what you've been reduced to?

Anti-Americans....pfffft. All the same.

America isn't the only country in the world...and contrary to popularly held American belief, America ISN'T perfect...especially in the world's eyes.

Don't you think it is also important for a country to have a good world image? It is important for anyone, any country, or anything in a position of power to have a good public image rather than a bad one insofar as a bad public image will come back to haunt you...

I am American, but I have also spent the last few years traveling around the world, and one thing I hear over and over again from our international friends is that they very much dislike the American government's handling of most issues. Now I know your RightWing training will probably want you to point the blame for this towards jealousy of America, but honestly...that is a weak argument at best! :thumbsup:

:smokin:

Maybe the international communities feelings towards America do not bother you at all because you think your poop doesn't stink or something, but let me tell you sir...it smells something foul...and big-headed, uber-nationalistic people like yourself are the biggest cog in the wheel of perpetual hatred toward the US.

I don't just want to pick on Americans who are like this either...Anyone who has some crazy, super-nationalistic ideas about their country and thinks their country never makes mistakes and is always on the right path (you know, the people who accept whatever they are told at face value as long as there are a few sound bites or photo-ops to back it up) are in for a rude-awakening one day!

Peace! :smokin:

It's all a misunderstanding. If one of us was sent back in time, the first dispute, or, conflict, could've been easily resolved, and us humans never would've learned to fight. If that means that we have to go back to the days when we were fish, we could've easily shown that there is more food in the rest of the sea. We could've shown "Matilda" a beautiful place on the other side of the Mississippi River and her man wouldn't have had to fight, to the death, another man for rights to the shady side of the rock.

We train our animals to be peaceful, why couldn't we train pre-historic humans?
