||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, taking over the oil of another country. :::waiting for factual confirmation:: ......please provide some? |

Do you still know how rampant slavery is today? Oh and by the way, your title is supposed to be "fucking, america!" Not "fucking america!" I mean, yes, we are gettin' it on... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
uh.... i was joking see the link |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Lots of slavery in the middle east still. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
man, gas is hella expensive. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol yes i still know... dont worry i haven't forgotten |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Lots of slavery everywhere, especially in Africa. Yet if we chose to go after some of those countries to free them, we would only be bashed as "an attempt to take over +/- police the world." Catch22. |

it takes a huge ballzac to accept the blame for the genocide of 800,000 people. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm certainly no expert. but, when it comes to taking decisive action it seems like the UN suffers from the 'too many cooks in the kitchen' syndrome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:D!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or...... it takes a tiny sack for letting 800,000 people die, and THEN accepting responsibility. btw: we'll all know if American's truely give a shit come November, watch this space. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I'd agree with that broadly too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that being said, i think the UN can and does play an irreplaceable diplomatic role in global politics. they can mobilize aid very well, and the UN offers a nice semi-neutral ground for diplomatic talks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but, it's too easy to hide behind the shield of the UN when faced with really hard decisions, like the one in iraq. this way, no single nation has to take responsiblity for the fact that thousands of little kids and their moms are starving to death every couple of months because nobody wants to get involed in the steaming pile of shit that are 5,000 year old tribal bonds. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i cant wait to march in the HUUUGE anti-UN protests that are surely gonna spring up around the world now.... i mean, 800,000 dead!!! not to mention all the other genocides that have happened in that area |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah exactly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol @ ephos.. so true.... :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh and by the way, your title is supposed to be "fucking, america!" No, that is completely wrong. He got it right the first time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
epohs, I agree with you entirely |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Have you ever wonder WHY Africa is so fucked up?!!? |

how is the UN more noble and sensible than a single country, considering their only interest as an organisation is NOT pissing anyone off? im HIGHLY opposed to a world government, and the UN certainly qualifies. the actual country has nothign to do with the decisions of a few rich old white dudes and some braindead rednecks who think any war is a good war. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not happy about the indecisive actions the UN takes (or not takes), but at least they take their responsibility. would you expect to see the Bush administration to EVER say something is their fault? it IS important for any government to show their people that they have made mistakes and own up to them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"im HIGHLY opposed to a world government, and the UN certainly qualifies." as does the US. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and we have. america has made TONS of mistakes in the past, and has tried to rectify them as best it can. or so it seems. i guess its all subjective. i just think when it comes down to it, saddam hussein was doin bad. he was hurting people in large numbers. we dont want another hitler, so we took him out. if that makes us look bad, or they have soem alterior motives, fine. honestly, to me its some peace of mind to know he isnt torturing people anymore. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how so? im talking one world, one government nwo type crap. and yeh, the US is all about it, but look at the EU. im more worried about THOSE freaks than us. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the US at the moment is operating as if they are the UN. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dude, its war no one asks "ok?" when theres a war on. bin laden didnt ask if its ok to tear down our tallest buildings. saddam didnt ask if it was ok to gas his own people. i hate the cowboy mentality, but the addage is true: sometimes you do gotta just say screw it and pick the lesser of two evils. |

yes. |

People are starting to act like we live in a utopia society now, since technology is upon us. WRONG. |

madeleine albright said that maybe half a million iraki children were killed, that it was a though decision and a hard price to pay but ultimately worth it..... |

toronto star column. lots of other views from this great american citizen im sure not everyone will agree but i like what he has to say . :) |

the majority of the world isn't particularly impressed with the way the US has acted since 9/11. I'm hoping Europe will become a superpower to rival the US. I hate the way the US can do what it likes. 'War on Terrorism' - Lets bomb a few countries and piss them off even more, yeah thats going to work. idiots. If they keep acting like this terrorism is going to get worse and worse. Ever seen the film Brazil? |

Its a tricky situation. Democracy is wonderful when it works (usually in peace time) . When the singular power of a dictator is divided into the hands of the public it's beautiful (hasn't happened,yet). There is a down side, not much gets done. Our representatives seem to spend their entire workday trying to figure out how not to get blamed for anything. This creates an atmosphere of indecision, name calling, blame gaming, etc... |

As for Rwanda- that shit has been going on for decades- the African nations that arent starving to death are fuck killing eachother in civil wars. The reason nothing was done about it was because the US didnt step in for once. There was no oil so our check book stayed on our pocket. Why doesnt the fucking EUROPEAN UNION step up to the plate and pony up some cash. You assholes are the first to cricize the United States but you sure have taken our money and military help time and again as well as our culture that you enjoy mocking, but copy every chance you get. |

Bogala sounds nice but you are wrong. The reason democracy doesnt work is special interest groups. Until there is some kind of meaningful campaign finance reform, elections will always be swayed by big business. Let's just hope the current thieves in office have galled the sheep of america enough to actually vote. |

What about Jazz, hip hop, fucking rock and roll, blues? on and on- Nothing culturally relavant has come out of Europe for at least 300 years. Looks like the pilgrims took all the soul with them aboard the Mayflower! |

What's this Mcdonalds thing with the Euros? You must have shitloads over there. |

that was for godataloss |

|

I agree there godataloss. Campaign finance as it stands is fucking horribly corrupt. I don't want a Nader in office, though. As for the Euros, I don't see any differences from the US..You take any chance you can get to hock something over here. You are capitalists with a national health plan. |

Ok lets see- there's Radiohead and then there's Aphex and then there are a thousand groups trying to be Radiohead and Aphex... and while great, I hardly think that they will end up creating or defining a genre. No pissing contest- its just will all the US bashing around here you goons ought to get your history strait |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I will concede, big business in the US does stifle our artists. There are shitloads of excellent artists, bands, etc here that never get heard.. |
