A patriot is anyone arrogant enough to think their country is the best for simply having been randomly born in to it.

I don’t blame the American people for George Bush, he didn’t even reach the popular vote in the first election.
American people are very decent people. It’s just unfortunate their country is ruled by greed and disconcert by a certain few. Everyone wants to make a living, but not many people are shamelessly willing to take food out of the mouths of others, to be the richest. There are too many American businessmen who are, and will pay anyone for this. Too much of US policy is decided by what money is paid.

I live in the grand old US of A and I cannot be more unhappy with my country. I do not consider myself patriotic, in fact I am deeply ashamed that I was born here. If Canada wasn’t so damn cold I would move there in a heartbeat. I deplore the way this country is run and the way our people view our relationship with the world. The war in Afganistan was morally warranted, but the reasons INITIALLY given (WMD’s) for invading Iraq were in no way justifiable. We percieve ourselves as the policemen of the world, and while we may have the moral high ground, it sets a bad precedent for us to invade other countries simply because our morality says so. Also, if we posess WMD’s what right do we have to atttack other countries for posessing them. As Matthew 7:5 states “You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.” Before we go disarming other nations, we ourselves should disarm.

Thank you for reading my rant,

Thank you Steve.

More importantly, we need to remember sin exists because of humanities ignorance regarding oneness.

On another note, im glad most of us would prefer to befriend China… or maybe its because we are scared shitless of them.

Well we should be, but not for any rational reason. Only because we are wasting money all over the world while the Euro gains popularity and China becomes more and more like a free economy. Looks like they might beat us at our own capitalistic game.

And the Russian leaders seem to be itching. No, make that drooling over the prospect of another fallen civilization.

What did we do after Vietnam? Sure as hell didn’t learn our lesson, thats for sure.

Also, being American I will say there is a lot of ignorance in America, but its changing slowly. Linux is gaining popularity. Right? Maybe? I can only hope.

How does that go? “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.”

I don’t care what country you’re from – you simply can’t speak knowledgeably about the goings-on of other countries you haven’t lived in. Not to mention the fact that every single country has made quite regrettable decisions at several points in each of their pasts (and in some cases, present).

None of you know for sure what other countries want, need, or ask for. The US, while with a president that makes some bad choices, has still been requested to help out in many countries around the world. Then, when the time comes to “pay the piper”, nobody antes up! That’s why the majority of our national debt is actually owed to us by other countries around the world!

None of you, none of your people, none of your leaders, and none of your countries are without sin. So shut up.

No, we did not vote Bush into office twice. There have been lots and lots of articles here in America about how voting machines were rigged, about how some votes weren’t counted, about how some people were illegally prevented from voting. We didn’t even vote him in once – he stole the election both times.

However, there are still an incredible number of frighteningly stupid people over here who DID vote for him. Our collective gene pool is getting dumber and dumber. Personally, I’m becoming an expatriate as soon as I can swing it – I can’t stand most of my fellow Americans.

Note Bush was not such a terrible leader in his first term – He made a few iffy decisions, but his scraping a second term does not immediately make all Americans stupid.

Are you freaking kidding me! Do you realize the history of the country you live in. Germany…talking about countries invading! Your country started to f***ing wars by there lonesome. And then we came in and kicked your sorry little ass… oh and afterward..what did America do? We helped rebuild your god forsaken country. And now, its one of the great economic powers in the world, along with japan… we may f*** things up sometimes but we sure as hell know how to fix them in the end!

For me there are TERRORIST in Iraq and a lots of them specially 2 kinds… the ones wear a red, blue white flag with lots of stars in it, and then there are the other terrorist, actually mercenaries contracted by the first terrorist.
To the American government and army, navy, air force, and other who may concern: get the hell out of all the places your invading in the world, nobody asked you to be there in the first place, America is the only place whoÂ´s a menace to the world, and its the only country iÂ´m really afraid of.

And about the American people i have no problem with them at all and i don’t think their dumb, not all, just miss informed, very miss informed.

But then again every country gets the government they deserve donÂ´t they?

iÂ´m from Germany
