There are two N. Americas. The one Americans live in and the one the rest of the world percieves through movies, tv shows, advertising and cliches. That's just my opinion.

similarly, there are two The Rest Of The Worlds, one that the rest of the world actually lives in, and one that Americans get to see through a large part of their media.

i mean "football" like american style football. Like a bunch of giant men in armor beating the shit out of each other and carrying a small oblong ball across a 100 yard long field.
i mean "fill" like what we do when a town gets flooded and you have to put all the poor people somewhere while you argue who's fault it is.

I kind of wish I lived somewhere other than here just because I feel ashamed talking to anyone who's not in america, but at the same time, I like living here for the most part. you could say I have a love-hate relationship with my country- i love living here, but i hate the way our government and some of the people portray its image to the rest of the world.

War isn't clinical. Many innocents die unnecessarily. It is hell on earth and there are always atrocities.
If there wasn't an insurgency then there wouldn't be destruction. It'd be all happy faces and rainbows. But there is an insurgency, and we have to deal with it. The Iraqi government doesn't seem to want us to go. They know if we don't help fix things other foreign entities will come and take over. They don't want that.
And no, we are not worse than terrorists. We have standards, respect for humanity. The terrorists don't. If they had their way with you it'd be your allegiance to Islam or your head. America can give a fuck about Sweden, you mean no harm to use, we mean none to you.

"If there wasn't an insurgency then there wouldn't be destruction. It'd be all happy faces and rainbows. "
I don't think so, you now have many different factions there who hate eachother and demand control
"But there is an insurgency, and we have to deal with it."
And the primary objective of the insurgency is to get rid of foreigners. So by staying you make the insurgency grow
"The Iraqi government doesn't seem to want us to go. They know if we don't help fix things other foreign entities will come and take over. They don't want that."
I don't think the Iraqi goverment has any power at all, they are totally dependent on western money so they are puppets
"And no, we are not worse than terrorists. We have standards,
respect for humanity. The terrorists don't."
Let's see how you react when your city is under attack or your loved ones get slaughtered, it's too easy to talk about morals when you're not in that situation
"If they had their way with you it'd be your allegiance to Islam or your head."
You just assume that, I think radical islamists don't want to convert anyone, they think we're "blind" and worthless
"America can give a fuck about Sweden, you mean no harm to use, we mean none to you. "
I seem to have recently read a story about the american goverment pressuring the swedish goverment on closing a certain torrent website which are legal under swedish law. I also remember economic threats to the netherlands if they don't send troops to afganistan
I'm not against normal americans but against all powerhungry goverments who try to run the planet

why is there such a hatred of america in so much of the world?
im guessing its to do with america supporting israel, who really piss the palestinians off
american transnational companies diluting local cultures (mcdonalds etc.)
american transnationals destroying local markets invading iraq and afghanistan etc. (only after 9-11 though)

the thing is american governament used 'freeing of iraqui people' as a cover up to what they were really in for.
also, the army did a mess there and they have no idea how to solve it. and that has a lot to do with marginal people being drafted and they can't handle it to well when they're sent there.
my opinion ofcourse.
