Why are NZ Navy ships banned from Pearl Harbour? ( Archived) (222)

I have been reading this and the allegations being made towards the USA.
Now I know that a few posts up there is a supporter of your thread that will support anything you say as long as it says something to make the USA look bad. I don't know how the men and women on the ships and subs are feeling today but I would not be surprised if they are way past this,,and thus it does seem to be rather petty. Petty that this is still bumping around like some other threads I seem to remember. I suppose we choose who we are buddies with around here,,,,I have been run down by the golden boys and their cohorts. Too bad so many just have to take every chance they can to give another put down to USA actions.
there's my 10 cents.

My two cents are that nuclear weapons have saved between a few million to well over a billion lives and that people who are so petty that they deem themselves above what has protected them for over a half century now blame those who have done so obviously don't have a grip on reality.

That's fine, there are enough of us who do that make up for those who would sell out to destruction.

And don't 'snub' those who have enabled you to live there. Being free has a cost. You would not have a military if you did not feel that there was a possible enemy and, let's face it, any enemy you might have is a lot bigger than yourself (Indonesia, China) thus the need for the US to be an ally.

An ally your have 'snubbed' for decades.

So, don't throw stones my dear. You people are just starting to make progress and you want to tear it down.

If you read her statement properly using all the previous hubris in context you would realize that she was rebutting the comment that the US only took action when there was a material gain to be realized.

And, she blew that silly contention out of the water. Now, the debate has been concluded as you have agreed with me that the US has not 'snubbed' the NZ Navy but rather has been the victim for over two decades of being snubbed themselves. Why you insist on attempting to tack your own thread off topic I have no idea but, thank you for agreeing with me nonetheless.

I wasn't calling you stupid.
I was saying, in response to you putting Ray down for expressing his opinion that not everything the US does is absolutely fantastic. Just because he disagrees with things his country does, does not make him less of an American, and less of a lover of his country.
I find it interesting that your citizens take any criticism of your countries political policies and activities very personally, and any criticism of such, as though it is to yourself, and your beautiful land, hence my post.
I think "cant see the wood for the trees" is an apt term.[/quote
]shazam .... your U.S.A. thread-bashing friend takes every chance he can on CS to bash the U.S.A. Nothing new about that. Why he hates most everything about the U.S.A. is everyone's best guess. Maybe he is less an American because he hates the U.S.A. Thus my unanswered question of him?
