To be honest, sometimes the American Patriotism makes me sick. You are all so proud of having a military like you do, ' We Powerful, Do what we say or we whoop your ass ' Blah Blah Blah... and yet you have children starving living on the streets searching through trash cans to survive. You have such intolerance of others that it amazes me. (Priorities?!?!)
As far as Im concerned, leading through fear is defeat in itself. You can't command respect, you must earn it. And America aint doing so well on this in recent times.
The fact that your country chucked a nation wide hissy fit when France wouldnt agree to attack Iraq amazes me. Likened to a child in a grocery store chucking a tantrum cause they cant have a lollipop. When in all reality, the UN wasn't set up to do as the USA bids, it was set up so that all Nations would have a say in the decision making pertaining to Global Events. Sad to say, that the American Government feels they are higher than even this on the World Arena. Ignorant. Pompous. Asses.
As for freedom, I cant believe that you actually think you are free lol That cracks me up. Im not saying Im free either, but at least Im not bound by the misconception that I am lol And Im certainly not basing entire arguments upon it.
Money and wealth mean shit all, so take your prowess and offer an argument based on humanity, or the quality of life, the tolerance of people.. and then see how well America stacks up. You will be dissapointed.
There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that America provides that certain others Nations don't. If you think there is, by all means tell me. But I want to hear a good argument, no bullshit half witted wanker statements like -
'We are the most powerful Nation in the World'
For fucks sake. I hate this sentence, Im so damn sick of reading and hearing it... you need to address the racism issues in your own country before you start breeding it World Wide.
Wake up! We are not just Americans, or Australians, Canadians, Chinese etc etc.. We are fellow citizens of this World. Start acting like it.


this entire statement makes you a hypocrit. First off you're bad mouthing America and then you say "everyone" is citizens of the world??? Great display of humanity.

I understand there are those who don't like our government and things we done in the past, and in most instances I agree. My only problem with your statement, is that you're talking about stuff you don't seem to know much about. The UN would not exit if it weren't for America, and some countries wouldn't even be represented. Rascism spans the world not just America. And if I remember correctly Australia houses the most hate groups, you guys. Yes there are arrogant people claiming America is great and the best or what have you, but they do not represent the entire country. Any proud person would say their country is the best, at least for them. I'm pretty sure your country has at least one or two less fortunate? OR is Austrailia that perfect?
