America

I love america, yet america is hated. I guess that makes me bushs poodle.But I would rater be a dog in new york city than a prince in riyadh. above all, america is hated because it is what every country wants to Be rich, free, strong, open and optimistic. Not ground down by the past, or religion or some caste system. To our shame bush gets a worse press than hussein. onece we were told that saddam gassed the kurds, tortured his own people and set up rape camps in kuwait. Now we are told he likes quality streets. Save me the orange center,oh mighty one. remember....remember....september 11 One of the greatest atrocities int human history was committed against america. No, do more than remember.
NEVER FORGET.

we are not supported in this because people don't want to see how powerful we are. They are afraid of us. This is the first time in history that there has really only been one major world power and that is us. Next year we will spend more money on defense than every other country in the world put together and only use 4% of our GNP doing it (or was it GDP? I always get them confused). People always rebel against the strong. They fear that we could get power happy and attack anyone. I guess I would also rather be a free dog in the greatest country on earth.

As to how I feel about the war, read my signature.

And people tend to dislike us because of statements like that. Unlike some most people aren't driven my just jealousy and contempt. Surprisingly not too many hate us, I could point out a few prime examples here at the city.

I love a lot of what America is and was, but right now I'm not going to blame anyone for their views towards us, barring the more extreme cases they're justified.

i enjoy your patriotism, being a man who appreciates america myself. i dont mind people protesting the war, or objecting to it, or not supporting the president, hey if i were to stop their free speech, this wouldnt be america. but what really gets to me is when people just say that they hate america, and then they end it right there. some have thier reasons, but they usually arent good ones. there is never a reason to blindly hate the most celebrated country in the world, its pretty much unanimous among foreign powers that america is the top dog, and the only remaining super power in the world, so i really dont get the point in hating the one thing you cant change...but if people want to waste their breath and talk about how much they hate america...thats cool, i would rather they shove it up their spineless asses,but im not gonna stress myself out over it, trying to convince these commie bastards to see your side is like trying to convince shit to not smell..

okay, that's about seven times I've seen a pro war person mention commies one way or another since the war started...
why don't we just go attack all the spineless commies that hate us then? you know, china and north korea for example
oh, wait, they can defend themselves with highly destructive weapons, that's no good.
oh well, at least we have someone to pick on.

and it's for a good cause, we're gunna free all them iraqis to death!

whoa dude chill out i only said commies is that i know alot of college deusche bags with dreadlocks who hate america because they want to live under a communits system because they want everyone to "get along" thats the only reason i speak ill of communists, and i never suggested we attack communist countries merely for being communist, its a well documented fact that they will eventualy destroy themselves. so dont take an off the cuff comment about communism and use it against me

people who hate america usually do so coz' US foreign policy since the second world war have been one tragedy after another. the US have systematically harassed, supressed and undermined local governments. even arranged coups in some and waged war against others. why, coz' the local governments were "acting against US interests."

arabians do not like US interference in arabian matters. plain and simple. europeans don't like the US waging war outside the framework of the UN. south americans don't like US policy of enforcing free trade and US companies to take control of their economic structure and natural resources.

hate does not surface from nowhere. cause and effect.

then, i have to say, i don't like commies either. not 'coz they're commies as such. it's more that they have the wrong answers to the right questions. but at least they are *asking* those questions.

oh wait dont we have a battle ship off the coast of north korea and also we just received permision from south korea to keep some stealth bombers over there. If we wanted to we could drop one bomb on there nuclear reactor and that would be the end of north korea.I also find it funny how north korea waited until we were allready fighting in afgh and Iroq to start with there pittily ass games. Remember this is a war against terorism and to say that hussein isnt a terorist is nieve. For god sakes they have pictures of the trade center with planes crashing into it, in there government buildings.

This way, we can make it look like there are others out there who have power... of course not as powerful as we are, but we're not going to let that happen are we?

Can anyone else see the parallels between the US and Microsoft? Between nuclear capable countries and Apple? One difference for me is... I like Apple.


I do see the resemblance....There are other countries with similar neuclear weapons..But not as big or good as ours!!!!!
