#109I have to ask. What exactly is it you are ashamed of?
And, a follow-up question. Are there any countries in the world that you would love to be a citizen of?
The United States may not be perfect, but we are still the greatest country on this planet. And if you don't think so, try another country out and get back to us on it.Comment -

#110Our government is the still the best in the world because we give people the freedom to pursue their own ambitions, Although the hand outs are starting to get fast and furious coming out of DC cause that is the only way certain folks can win elections.
The only thing I want stopped immediately is the Billions we give to keep the UN running while they turn around and steal the money intended for poor countries, rape the women during their 'peace-keeping' missions, populate human rights councils with countries like China and Libya and just generally promote an anti-America agenda. Fukk the UN, worthless pieces of shit.
But as to your question, if you didn't notice the mid terms us hard working Americans have reached our tipping point on social spending and entitlement programs that do little but keep the slaves on the plantation where the boss wants them. No one ever said come here and get rich, but you can come here and have a damn better life than in any other country on this planet. Name another country people literally are dying to get into. Fukkin floating match books from Cuba or Haiti or hiking through deserts in Arizona.
Worked with a guy from Ghana. Had a full time job, 2 part time jobs and was going to school to get an engineering degree. The only function of the government in this great country of ours is provide a land where opportunities wait for those that want them. To an extent, any American can wake up in the morning, decide how much money he or she wants to earn per year and make a plan to get that shit. No one is denied education in this country. No one is denied training if they want it. We don't prevent our women or any other citizens from learning to read and write.
There ain't shit holding any single person in this country back, except for the government with bullshit taxes and regulations.
As for foreign aid, it has to continue and it will continue.

#116Well....well.....look what we have here. Another foreign jerkoff thinking he knows what ails my country. The reason America gives out so much aid to foreign countries is simple. America is about freedom. Not only for its citizens, but for anyone who wants it. The United States has helped grant more freedoms, to more people all across the globe, than all the other countries in the world combined. This is what we do.To say lets only worry about this country....screw everyone else. Sorry. It doesn't work that way. When you are the leader......this is how it is. This is how we became the greatest Nation in the world, and exactly why we shall always remain so. So please go back to your threads asking "why are Americans so fat?", and bragging how you like to "splurge for the premium hookers at massage parlors". By the way.....all very impressive stuff by you.
Could definitely see why you might be qualified to overhaul the US system. For someone who hates America.....you sure spend a lot of time here?? So instead of bashing it, why don't you piss off back to your homeland.
Don't worry, we'll keep some other piss-ant nation from invading you.......like always.

You see America works because of motivation. It is there if you want it. But the free market decides, or at least to, winners and losers. Who makes more money? Car companies cranking SUVs or ones selling electric cars? If you provide a service or a product that the free market decides is worthwhile, not only do you fill a need for large portions of society, you fill your pockets. It is the self interest of individuals that collective make this country unique and at the same time ridiculously prosperous.
What is the last thing communism or socialism invented? Why do you think nearly every medical breakthrough since 19 ot 6 is coming out of the good old U S of A? Profit is a one helluva motivator.Comment -

#122it is widely known to most educated people that ervery country has its pro's and con's. while the U.S. does have a lot of people here that are homeless and poor. Our country did not choose these people to be poor and go hungry, they did so by the decisions they made in life.
the money that we give to other countries is not for them to go down to there poor communites and hand out to people that are poor by there own decisions
most of the money that we give out is intended to build a democracy
the countries may not use it like they should but i bet that the U.S. knows when they misappropriate funds
this was an entertaining thread to read for sure.

opied buried everyone almost
otp, again pal i am trying to like you, you are immature, all you do is read threads and try to find mistakes people make in their grammar, speech or whatever then call them out, you do this because you are in a learning stage in life and probably in an education emviroment, once you grow up you will realize that people can still communicate with out being well spoken or well read. you are a troll and a big time waister.Comment -

Where do I even start. Imprisoning people for nonviolent crimes, invading other countries for no reason, providing billions of dollars in aid to other countries when we cant even help ourselves, an education system that caters to familys with money, a corrupt government that makes you believe everything they say, trillions of $ in debt, buttfuking americans on a daily basis with inflated costs. CIA trafficking drugs to our own people and then imprisoning them. cool . Oh where's the health insurance for every man woman and child mr obama promised. hummmmm.
I don't want to argue, but to say that is the most cowardly piece of shit statement you've ever seen, well uhm, im sorry I wasnt as brainwashed as you. If you are so proud to be an american go kill some innocent children and women in iraq and feel like a real man.
obama gave me the healthcare alright, $400 a month. what a deal. SO fuking proud to be an american.
i'd rather go fight for the iraqis and afghanis than this trash country.

#125Imagine how much better this world would be without oppressive countries and regimes holding their people down with a boot on the neck but blaming America for them having to farm dirt. Imagine how much better this world be if every country turned their people loose to realize their potential. Imagine how much better this world would be without communism (how billions killed from Stalin to Pol Pot to Castro)
and Islam (how many billions killed since it's inception?)
NO they r just as evil as any power/war monger is. when u kill innocent people 4 profit u have no right to pretend to be some benevolent/moral police.
AMERICA f\*\*k YEA
nationalism is bad cos it makes good people kill other good people usually for no reason. u r not better than any1 else just cos u happen to be born in the USA.
the gov of afghanistan (taliban) never did attack the USA. they offered OBL for extradition. imagine if irish bombed the USA and ireland offered to extradite the bombers. but the USA said no and just bombed and invaded? how is that moral. killing and destroying on such a scale. just cos 1 side is bad does not mean the other is not...
nationalism is bullshit - it is a lie the powerful use to make us fight for them.Comment -

#128I just spent the last few hours researching 9/11. I don't understand how why Bush and Chenny, chemmy or whatever his name is stalled the investigation for 1.5 years to investigate 9/11, but decided to invade iraq after 5 HOURS.
ALSO, building 7? Um, hello?
FACT: Your gov let your sailors get their asses smoke by the japs just to incite you guys to sign up the next day and lift your ass out of the great depression, don't think it's outrageous to think your government used the arabs as a new boogeyman to justify stealing other countries resources so you can buy those SUVs over your Electric cars.
Listen, I love American people. I think you guys are a lot of fun, I just hate your government. It's natural to defend it, but you need a revolution. I have read your Declaration of independence and it sounds like your government completely ignores it every term.Comment -

The 9/11 inside job crap caters to the gullible. The fact that you "spent a few hours researching it" and are now making conclusions that it was an inside job says it all, especially considering that ZERO demolitions experts or structural engineers have come to that conclusion in the 9+ years since that day. I love how all the "inside job" people are experts on how buildings should fall. Hilarious.
