is The USA a force for good in the world? (204)

Nikogas: I have no idea why John dislikes Canada, I have no idea why mate loves it when he can seethe with hatred at the expense of others, I don't know why some people make buddies with actual bullies and then make the statements against the USA, but it sure does show some true colors. Congratulations on a wonderful thread of Hate. I wish people would learn to be kind to one another, but here I see much hate and prejudice.
That's all this Thread is!
A colossal Windup!

OP ought to have foreseen how it would come out!

Been quiet for a while Niko and peaceful.

I don't think the OP knows how some people react at the mention of USA and UK. Yes you are right too many haters and not enough love.

Country bashers abound on here.We live in the World which is slowly imploding on itself and not just on the Forums.

i agree with u on that. the world is going to hell and there are those who either don't care or they stoke the flames. the UK is a great nation along with the US and i have to say that we two nations are most civilized and tolerant than others

Tomcats2: America is a country that could be truly great, alas they need to understand that there are other countries in the world as well as them.

On the other hand the Americans are usually first to place their youngsters in the line of fire for other peoples freedom. I find America an enigma but on the whole glad we are an ally rather then an enemy!

The United States is a great country, they only have allowed them self to be led by people with bed intentions,and as you said they are the first to place their youngsters in the line of fire ...well why???why do they send their children in to some god forgotten country ,to be killed, crippled ,American borders where never endangered...

The Backlash against the UK was purely incidental!

In fairness Con I have observed Tomcats in the UK and the IE forums and he never stirs and is generally very respectable. He is one of the forums gentlemen.
I honestly don't think he had an agenda to Wind anyone up.

john12196341: i am sick and tired people bashing the US all the time. it seems that they get their rocks off bashing a country that helps the world by giving them money and aid. like i said the US should stop all aid and money from those nations and let the world fend for themselves. they should be grateful but they are downright ungrateful bunch of whining kids. maybe then they would appreciate us. till then they should be more considrate. i don't hate canada but i do hate the whining and ungrateful atittude


I am sick of it too John, hut I will not become like them and spread the hatred and generalizations back. I will admit there are some places I would be leary of traveling to but I don't find the need to Hate, I would ask you to learn not to Hate either. People will only put it back in your face and then you will have another fight. I think that the relation between all countries is important but especially do I hope for peace with our neighboring Countries. Life is to short, and as a people we can hate or learn to Love one another.

john12196341: listen up mister. canada is a stupid state. if u don't like america then u like a terror state like iran, like russia which doesn't like freedom of speech and north korea where it imprisons its own people and let them starve. the u.s is the best nation in the world and it alot better than canada. if u feel that way then the u.s. should stop having ur trucks from coming in this nation and impose a very very high tarriff of goods coming from there. i don't like u bashing this nation. the treaty which gives canada and mexico the right to trade with this natio(nafta) has hurt this nation.
Then you have no any other option,wage another war across your borders,with Mexico+Canada.-doh doh doh

you know why we do it? well the main thing that the UN won't do it and it seems to be preoccupid by debate and hatred and biased. they won't send in troops to quell the atrocities that is being committed by nations that are bent to oppress it's people and want to have ethnic cleansings

i agree with you wholeheartdly but there are alot of countries that wish we would be either fall or be blown off the map. also they seem to forget that it was us that saved their butts during the second world war and its a slap in the face of thousands of soldiers,airmen and sailors who fought and died for them to be free. i bet that there are alot of veterns who are seething in disgust about the treatment of this nation by the same countries that saved them and that is not including the UK which apprciates us saving them

Well, Vinny, he is a educated man as well, look at what this thread is and the effect. Of course it is a great place to bash USA. Here in this forum USA has no chance as to defend ones self only makes USA look like they are too powerful or "thugs".

I understand that and I concur. I just think there was no malice intended from him as he is not a regular participant in the Intl's and would not realise the amount of people ready to spew their hatred. As I say I know his posts quiet a while and I have never seen him insult anyone and is always respectful. handshake

Maybe so, but to just sit back and spew hatred at one another is a practice in ignorance, when I saw this thread I was disappointed. They are often made these threads like this. and they do no good for anyone.
Only tear people apart, the same people I see having fun with each other suddenly jumping and biting each other..very disapointing.
