What Of America?

i noticed on someones post the other day " from the country
that will destroy the earth: the united states".
since a lot of people on this mb aren't from america, i was
wondering what everyone thought about america, good or ill.

I'd like to visit Canada in the wintertime, and the Southern
Andes. They Just seem like beautiful wildernesses.

The US is the ultimate crass marketeering eploiters of
nature. Look at the theme-parks that are Niagara® and
GrandCanyon© . "Only when the last fish has been pulled
from the sea will you realise that money cannot be eaten"
(Native Indian saying) . But its OK because Dubya will be
holed up in his palatial nuclear-proofed bunker by then...so
don't worry...Its all fine.

As an American citizen,,,I dont think anyone from
Canada..UK...Europe blah blah blah should have any
descrimination to America...you dont live here. Thats why
you dont live here-you were born into somewhere else...My
friends who are United States Marine-working for our
President....and they respect that man..as I do respect our
Government, I like our government. I like what happened with
Elian in miami...our Government kicks ass..BOAH!!!

You like your government? Elian? That is hardly
representative of US government actions.

Did anyone see Jay-walking on Leno the other night? Jay
asked these two girls how many stars there are on the
american flag and the one girl said 56. Her friends said she
was wrong and the girl repsonded back saying "No, there is
56 stars because that is how many countries we have". Ouch
it wasn't even funny.

there was a newsnight programme on, a few weeks ago over
here in the UK, and this american guy said that people in
Britain were jealous of America's "empire", because Britain
had lost theirs. I dont think anyone even THINKS of the
british empire anymore.

I dont think people should hate america, but i understand
why they do.

i live in the us, and i wish i didnt. i agree that it is
wrong to hate another country if you have never been there
or at least tried to understand their culture, but i feel
that so many people here are ignorant, stuck up, and
selfish. the only problem is i dont really know where i want
to be, i just know its not here.

What was it again?? you people calling me an idiot and
stupid.

I wont stoop down to some of you guys level-only because the
majority of you are not American.....I am not stupid, or an
idiot. I dont feel as if I have to justify myself to you
people, but only say that I stand by my country, I am an
American I like our Government, I'm glad we have a
Government- You using a Jay Leno example is as ignorant as
the rest of these comments..

I can only defend my country for what it is...But I wont
defend myself for your comments, I dont think there's
anything here I can retort too, its only comments to Jay
Leno, someone calling me an idiot and someone else calling
me stupid.

"I dont think people should hate america, but i understand

That sentence doesn't really make any sense.

its wrong to hate a country as you probably dont know all
about it and hating a country is a form of discrimination,
but i can see why people would hate america - with all the
controversial decisions, the ULTRAcapitalist appearance of
america and the plum known as George.W.Bush, to name a few
reasons.

Ok...

If our country sucks and yours is so much better; for
one...why do people flock here? Why do people leave your
countries to live here?? Why in times of war do your
governments cry to the us for funding aid and equipment?

sounds like a bunch of jealous cunts on this board...

The Jay Leno thing,

in case you didn't know, since you don't research to back
facts up or anything...the Jay walking segment is a written
and produced feature on the show. That means its planned
and practiced then taped...how do i know this u ask?? my
x-girlfriend use to write for the show...u ass

Did he justify his statement Clic???

Seems like you just went around it with other comments that
dont have anything to do with your statement....you know if
youre going to start something back it up with useful
information, not rambling on about things you want to rant
about.

i wasnt rambling on about things i wanted to rant about, i
was explaining how my sentence made sense. I WAS trying to
stay neutral, but obviously im not allowed that.

I dont hate the US, but i dont see why the Queen makes the
UK a bad country.

plz, lets not make this go any further down the "country vs
country" route.

heh, look at the hate... I said sometimes, and it's not even
that big a deal... we have this show up here where this guy
goes to the states sometimes, and interviews people on the
streets asking them these totally stupid questions like
"should we give women rights in Canada?" or "Should we make
the national Canadian Igloo a landmark" and other things,
and the people look SOO ignorant... they've even interviewed
politicians...

What are you talking about "facts" It's not a fact. It's a
comment from a show. So don't blame me for not researching
anything.
