America ( Archived) (198)

First I say great thread. A thread where American's can come together, stand tall and be proud to be an American. And what a better way to show the world that we as Americans are proud of our country. The strongest, wealthiest country in the world than on an AMERICAN WEBSITE!!!!!! I say thank you to those Americans that decided to share this great web site with the world.

Peace and harmony to all

GOG BLESS THE USA

its a big thread..

What about Magog?

This was put so plain that even someone with a clouded judgment could see it, well let's hope anyway.

(((Fallingman))) I now see how you perceive things on an American people as a whole. May I point out to you sir that all Americans are not a whole of one ethnicity group, there are many many over here that have come to live in a place that allows them and us to co exist and to (the majority) respect the beliefs of others. I say that Americans as a "whole" are human beings in "A" place taking crap from other places that have not lived through what America did. All types and walks of life died and saved and only "1" ethnic group killed. People need to do some deep thinking before they start running their mouths about Americans as a whole as opposed to stating a specific government issue, get real, we are real people too. We all put our britches on the same way.
When people like you, and yes I am pointing out "people like you" that has so much dislike, for a better word towards people "like me" because of our government? well it just makes me want to
I have seen other cultures and open and it has opened up my eyes to other ways of life, too bad "people like you" don't do the same.

Hatred.................................what a waste of energy, and seems sadly enough it is stronger than love...........what a waste to "people like you"



"people like us" still love "people like you"

Roll on Americans, because we rock

tR

sorry typo


GOD BLESS THE USA

your true colors are shining dear Please forgive those of us that wanted to come together from all over the world and have a share of grief, didn't know that was so crass the only crassness I have seen on these few threads that harbor dislike,,,(for want of a more accurate word for it), because I choose to use it. Oh and we respect the fact that ya'll mourn ya'll's differently.............................

I am afraid R, you have lost me there, my true colours, this is my opinion, I have openly stated my views.

I have not stated that I dislike Americans, but I can disagree with views, as an adult I do believe that. As you do, that is not to say that we cannot do it respectively.

Every country on this earth has suffered loss, from wars, from terrorism, I think you will find that I include my own country there.

9/11 will raise emotions, throughout the world, because many nations from that one dreadful incident suffered, it was on American soil, it should not have been on any soil, but each country is different, we have different views, my friend is now married to a Brit who lost his first wife in that atrocity, it touched the world because of the loss, wherever it happened.

We do grieve quietly in Europe, we are used to it, it was three years since 7/7, but there was no shouting about how wonderful we Brits are, we do it quietly, because we are as Barren states, used to it.

If you see it as 'crass' then that is your view, I respect that, like some people see America as crass, but to become defensive and combative when all people on this thread and all the others have been respectful is crass in my view.

You know there is a Danish pure bashing thread because of one poster who does not conform to America's view, he is being single out because of his views, that is crass, his whole country has a thread dedicated to how crap it is.

I am not crass at all R, never have been, never will be, I mentioned Omagh, no threads came together to mourn that loss, possibly in the Irish forums, because they are quiet about it.

We are having people here shouting and procrastinating, elegance and dignity will always shine through and because of three people here, who are being respectful, we are now being called crass and 'our true colours are shining through'

I am afraid to say, that I think you have misread the situation.

Being attacked is a horrible atrocity to happen to anybody, to lose lives over that is a travesty. but for an International Forum of people of all races, creed and beliefs to fall out is what is crass...

And I say that without prejudice.

And that is not to say, that I do not belittle what happened on September 11 2001, what I do have a problem with is when American citizens think that they are the only ones who have suffered.

They are not, we all have.

How it comes out is different, you see that as crass, I see it as respectful and appreciate different views and thoughts.

If you were really trying to be respectful as you say you are little lady, you and that other gentleman would had abided by number 3 on the forum rules. The thread title was, AMERICA. When you opened it up it clearly states: I LOVE YOU. Here is something for you to ask yourself.

Where in that title and quote of the OP did I feel the "respect" to jump in with my negative different point of views toward how the Americans were showing their praise for their country? Please answer this question to yourself and save yourself from the embarrassment.

There is a time and a place to talk about conforming to any government, and there is a tactful time to do it, you have lacked this to my surprise, well it would have been one I would say a couple of days ago. I care not what words you mence over what your views are and how you put them and to whom you put them too, that is your opinion and you are welcomed to it, my point: you did it in the wrong place and wrong time. That is all I have to say to you as all I have seen from you is a hostility that has touched me like a cold reality, I wish you well.

Romanticman...

You are absolutely right...

I do not have to answer it to myself, because it is a public forum, so therefore it is an open topic.

And to save embarrassment all round, perhaps the Denmark thread needs to be looked at...


I agreed with a poster who was commenting on America, if you feel that I was not being respectful, then I cannot own that, that is your problem and not mine, I do not expect anybody to state that the Denmark is disrespectful, but it is. Due to one poster.

Again, because it would appear that I am not speaking in plain English, I have been respectful about America, I have brought in what I thought a question about how a poster, who I like, as I do many of the posters, kept emntioning Denmark, initially some humour, because when this opened there was another thread taking the piss out of America, as there are many that take the piss out of other nations, we have one whole thread, bashing one whole country because of one Dude, whoever he is.

So save yourself the embarrassment little man, by understanding this, I am not having a go at the American people, certainly not the ones here, I have an American grandfather, who left, for reasons I have explained earlier, I agreed with a gentleman on his beliefs, because they are similar to mine...

But because they do not conform to 'American's' standards, I am singled out...

But, I stand by this, it is ok for Americans to bash another country as in Denmark and that is to be taken with humour, which I have done, but when the USA and it's citizens on a day that is close to many people's hearts, not just the Americans, are RESPECTFULLY spoken to, it is all hell let loose. Y'all come here to prove the point that you love your country.

We know you do. We have always known it. It is a great thing and I applaud the USA. But guys, you are missing the whole point of my posts.

So, I do not see that I have to explain myself again...

Little man from a little lady...

Oder?
