Nearly all of what the other countries see about us is what they see on their news stations. And let's face it. News never has good things on it. If they do, you look at the TV like they are fucking retarded.

All they see is LOUD, OBNOXIOUS, STUBORN, ASSHOLES.

Well honestly, most americans do fit to that steriotype.

America is a better country than most. But it isn't the best.

I have been trying to come of with something. I call it a reformed anarchy. But if anyone has the true name of this please tell me.

An anarchy, the only difference though, the lack of government and guidance only pertains to what you do to yourself, and your family. familiy matters are handled by the family. Family matters include EVERYTHING that one family member does to another.

But if you kill a person, then the town you live in becomes a giant jury against you and your punishment is figured out.

You can drink and drive and do all that stuff, but the punishment for taking a life while under the influence of anything(marijuana might be included or not) the punishment is Much MUch MUCh MUCH higher than if you just kill a person.

But you can put whatever the fuck you want in your body.

Now, no country in this day and age can live without a military. So I propose this. Another country does this, idthink it is sweden but I could be off.

Every male is required(and females can if they choose to) to go into a training program when they reach a certain age. After the training program they are presented with their gun, and amnuition. Every so often they have to go back and repeat the program. If the country becomes under attack, we would have a plan developed to gather all male troops that are willing(how many wouldn't be to protect freedoms like that?)to fight and go to war.

Just sounds like a better country than any I could think of.

I know that I am an arrogant jackass, but honestly, anyone who considers theirself better than another because of their country, and beyond that steriotyping all of us, is a bigger arrogant jackass than I can describe.

I have met many people in america that are incredibly nice, sweet people. Mostly girls, because most guys are jackasses in my oppinion.

Well </rant>

They (politicians) get away with it because of our quality of living. I drink beer, get fucked up, shoot my SKS, smoke some pot, drive thru the beer barn, hunt, go to college, chase women, go Anywhere and do Anything. The last thing on my mind is govt and the war.

Now, like I said if Al Qaeda was running around in the streets praising allah, my priorities would change and this 'war' would spill into Anywhere, USA. It would no longer be Al Qaeda vs US Govt, it would be Al Qaeda vs the American people.

Heres some bacon for thought:
If these radical muslims weren't so fuckin crazy blowin shit up, we COULD live in peace and our servicemembers wouldn't have to be in Iraq. I think it is ignorant to fully blame our government for this war. Personally I blame those goofy ass muslims before I blame Bush and Blair.

No govt? Are you smoking crack? If you want to live in a hippy's bliss, there are countries you can do that in.

But when a big black guy named Moziquah rams a bayonet through your body, I bet you will be ready to come back to America, where there is law and order and a system of doing things.

"if the country becomes under attack, we would have a plan developed to gather all male troops that are willing"
-this is called a militia. A single platoon of Marines could wipe the floor with Jim Bob and Joey from Philly. And the whole willing thing? What is with that? I bet you would dodge a draft.

They call us fat - I'm actually skinny
They call us lazy - Only some times lol
They call us loud - I usually don't say anything in real life unless it's worth saying (or unless I'm too high to realize I'm babbling about nothing).

I honestly don't think people from U.K. and stuff would dislike me. I just want to make friends all around the world and smoke a few blunts with everyone and enjoy life .

[TheBudBuster]

well as you already no all them crazy people are walking about willy nilly. blowing shit up. killing people.their proply a few planning attacks in you home town, so what u on about. the govt forces their way in to find weapons or watever. all they "FOUND" lol was oil and alot of money..they are scum. i say let them fight for them selves.. we had too. everyone has to. the government is nout but a bunch of fucking rich bastards that do fuck all but keep the people down where they want them..with no ability to overthrow a govt. what can the people do. nothin but live and die.. while the rich get richer. now war is useless causes nothing but grief and not to mention pain. and yes what i see on news is alot different to whats really going on in the world..
you cool orange man. i wish i grew up in amerika. to me it doesnt matter where your from its all about what you know.

So you are saying that they might be planning a terrorist attack, but you don't see the point of war?

What would you do then, as a civilian? End the war and eventually get attacked on your own soil? In your own home?

[benagain]

Im american (obviously) and I quite like it here. Some hippies don't like George W (neither do I) and all of a sudden we're a horrible country. I could get all fired up and personal about how people feel about us, but what's the point. Live how you want, just treat everyone else as nice as possible and we should still get along.

A few Notes on americans: Most of us are proud of our country and ready to fight you over it. Not another one out there in the world like it. Most of us don't eat Mcdonalds every day (only teenagers or fatass adults). Most of us do have a car and drive it everyday (we're not gas hogs, we just have a lot of miles to cover in one day). A lot of us have guns, but we're not rednecks or gangstas. Most everyone here would give the shirt off of our backs to someone who needs it. We don't like George W either (he's out soon to be replaced with someone even worse I'm sure). Not all but all for now, I'm still trying to wakeup.

i was born in america
and i'm proud of that fact
i wish the rest of the world
would get off our back
but these slick politicians man
you've got to admit
seem as crazy as bedbugs and
they dont give one wit
about a family on the street with
their backs to the wall that
cant find a quarter for to
make a phone call
meanwhile back in washington
champagne will flow
tell that to a a homeless man
with no where to go
