I don't know whether quoting Hitler there was poetic or ironic.
Raistlin has spoken for me. I am by no means patriotic, but seriously, take a number.

Because coprations run america its all about the money and when america wins wars there is always alot of money to be made.Thats why the US government refuses to use alternative fuels even though it will help the enviroment alot better.They don't care America is the new Roman Empire.Were there is money to be made and people to die to get that one CEO guy a bang of cash.To coporations there are people who matter and people who don't matter.In other words if oyur not with them then your against them.Thats why you have to be in a elite group to get into the Senate.Heck you think anyone can run for government office.You need millions and millions just to campaign.Quote:

Yes, and no other government does. :rolleyes2Quote:

I usually avoid threads such as these, and the entire forum itself to be accurate, but thankfully Raistlin's post has summed up my thoughts on the matter quite succintly. Also a good point:

I don't sanction an evil of this magnitude in conversation. I can't believe that anyone would claim that the best country in the world is the worst. You all need to consider the facts and remember that George W. Bush is not the freaking country!
I have nothing to apologize; I'm proud, as always, to call myself American.
If you want "The American government is the worst in the world... except all the other ones."
Turn to page 53
If you want "Hey, we can't all be Canada."
Turn to page 42
You said it brotha.Quote:

And I agree with what Raistlin has said, so I have nothing else to say. :)Quote:
Because obviously, a greedy capitalist government is much worse than a dictatorship which kills its citizens by the thousands.
I mean really, give me aing break.
The US government has done more to help other countries than any single other country. Probably more than the lot of them combined, but that might be a slight exaggeration. It has given money away by the billions and billions and supplies and aid in unprecedented numbers.
No, I don't like Bush. I think Bush is one of the worst presidents in US History. However, I won't consider the Bush administration as the entire US government as a whole, which has done more good world-wide in past century than any other country I can think of.
Likewise, it's hard to believe that someone would claim that any country is the best in the world.Quote:

Sure you couldnt believe it...but especially due to recent events some people here in my country think that "the best country in the world" is the most cultureless, selfish/cocky and stupid country in the world. You just proved one of those things so try to keep your mouth shut before you prove any moreQuote:

Thats what they are expected to do.That is also related to politics.Quote:

If they help the people and the leaders there, they will have countries that will like America a whole lot.
Continue your governments just put smart people in them next election.Quote:

I meant the current government, if it was hard to understand.Quote:
You also have to remember that your looking at the US Government in a very short 4 year span of time. Try looking at the bigger picture instead of just what interests you.
As much as I detest the war in Iraq, that is NOT the truth as to why we are there. It isn't about liberation, it isn't about weapons of mass destruction, it isn't about terrorism, and it isn't necessarily about oil. At least not in the way you claim. The war in Iraq has to do with strategic placement of U.S. troops and controlling recources like middle eastern oil. That's why we haven't seen a drop in gas prices. We don't need to use it, we just want to control it. Read "Rebuilding America's Defenses" from a conservative think tank known as "The Project for the New American Century". It outlines what the Bush administration WANTS to do. (It was written by a bunch of people, including Bush sr. Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, and Dick Cheney, just to name a few).Quote:

Be prepared to back up your statements with proof in this forum. I'm waiting...Quote:

Theres no official policy that says he can't run for a third term. It's just a recommendation that's usually followed. Third terms have happened before.Quote:
