Ok, so I'm reading this thread and here is what I'm taking from it so far :
1) Americans are assholes who like to get their way by blowing crap up
2) Other countries hate us for it
3) Everyone is trying to justify the point of view of Americans being assholes because of : Iraq, Oil, and use of force around the world.
All I have to say is this: most of you countries out there whinning about us Americans would not exist today if not for us. Kiss our bombing, power craving, rich, imperilistic asshole asses.
To the Euros out there, let me ask you, are you enjoying your high unemployment rates, stagnant and old cultural achievements and large numbers of poor rioting muslim immigrants ?
Oh and lets not forget the wonderfully functional U.N. Them and their nice little oil for food scandal, and the powerfull letters they write to world tyrants that they somehow pass off as "resolutions". Yeah, lets depend on them to fix the worlds problems.
If America would cease to exist today, the world would fall into chaos, and not just economically. Sorry to break the news to you guys who hate us. You need us, just like we need you. Doh !
Personally, I think we should just leave Iraq. We gave those people a chance to govern themselves, and all they do is fight among themselves over old crap. Experiment tried, and failed.
And yes, there are lots of idiots running around America who can vote. Don't think thats isolated to our country. The fact that we are stuck on a 2 party political system pisses me off to no end. Both parties SUCK ASS.
There, that should add fuel to the flame war.
