kev147: and you say im a wind up merchant ? All you do is quote people and attack them with attempted humour, and you do it in every single thread, Its pathetic
Keep on winding,the Spring can only take so much,besides your MO is already well-known on this Site! Go back to the Drawing_board Mister!
jessejess47: This is true and why most see threads and polls such as these for what they are just another bashing thread.....
Sort of like midieval warfare, a confusing mass of contending duos whacking away at each other.
But still, at the end of the day, when all the debris and carnage has been cleaned away, one position or another may have become better established.
Anybody who doesn't think the disputed terrain is worth the trouble would do better to stay off the battlefield.
I always ask myself, "is this thread really worth getting involved in", and as often as not, I end up erasing posts that may have taken a long time to write on the basis of that question.

jessejess47: As I said it is a bashing thread you know it I know it and so does everyone else know it
I see bashing from both sides but I think it is a valid topic and do believe that is not only how the world sees Americans, it's also how many see our politicians have acted for too many years.
We are ultimately responsible for their actions aren't we? If we live here and vote (or don't) we put them in office and kept them there.

Maybe true...however I was looking at the threads last night and there were four threads out of the top 15 about America or Americans ......this has turned into CS'S favorite past time .......and everyone know it ....just won't admit it
And here we are, heading home from yet another bloody battlefield where all sides declared victory.
You know Ray I know America does not have such a great policy toward others ...most of us do.....most of us do not agree with a lot of what Amreica does...(Veit Nam,Guatonamo Bay,Iraq)However is there any one country or people that can say they are the "Perfect" people or country.....France had the "Little General"....Russa had Stalin.....Indonesia has the Red Shirts.....the lists goes on.....now I ask you as a person ,not an American or a French man ....just a person....with the bashing that goes on about America here how would you feel as a person such as me?
I agree with what you're saying. No country has a monopoly on evil. All countries have their past massacres. And nobody can really pride themselves in their nation's history. But there are ongoing massacres now, and policies that will lead to even more. I don't believe any nation is ever going to change. But individuals can change and they can pull themselves out of the delusion that leads to inhumanity. The countries can (and will) go to hell. But individuals don't have to let themselves be dragged along.

I hear you, but we cant address what isn't acknowledged, that way nothing will ever change.
What are countries made of not just the government but the common people living there too. In America we are blessed to have Civil rights, and Voting rights. We have a voice as a nation but I believe it has been apathetic until the stock market crashed.
It's actually been the more involved fanatical, fringed, bought and paid for voters that have been carrying the elections, not the main population.
Guess the old sayings are applicable here, things matter to you if you're hit in the wallet, and "Follow the Money trail" come to mind.

Skybow and Ray you both seem to have missed the point of my post ....it has nothing to do with politics or the going ons of ANY people or nation...but with the fact that on ANY givin day or night you can easily gamble a large sum of money that there will be at least one if not several threads in the top twenty threads on CS that is really just a bashing thread....and it does get a bit boring...how other Americans can bypass these is be on me, they are a stronger person than I....and I am not a weak minded person I assure you...
i really like to here Americans get defencive. you can ask must people around the world .what they think about the usa. you can ask a canadian. they really dont like Americans. they dont dislike the people. its really the attitude of must American. we know must Muslim dont like America. but we know why to. it never really the people they dont like. must of the time its the government.

yep... the government
and the government of almost every country is holding the people in the dark and confused about many things ....its the way this world works
it seems on here if you tell the truth about America people want to give you a hard time. . but must have never really left the USA. so they only know about the rest of the world from what they read. they should try doing a little traveling sometimes. and really see how the world feels about them.

it is your version of the truth and while there may be truth in it i have problems with you deliberately being on a dating site to make americans defensive

Same ole song and dance ....change the damn record....
ukrainegary48: see what i mean. you cant say anything against the USA. if you do a few on here cant take it. so the just make up stuff. but guess the truth hurts.
who is making up things gary i see people on here attempting to have a dialogue with a man who has one purpose to spread nonsense and bigotry. for being american as long as you have been your english isnt that great

Garry ..look... there s been a lot of bad publicity against my country as well ... and i am aware of the fact that it is impossible to be always right... but would i stand up and defend the name of my country???
i suggest to people who live in a dream land of the USA. try traveling. instead of calling people names because they tell the truth. as for being on a dating site. i believe it plainly says on my profile i,m not looking for a date. i have a women. my view are only mind. i really don't care if some don't like it or not.
