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.

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.

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.
