Why are american people such cowards...

[FuzzyDunlop]

Nobody did shit as FDIC and SEC governed banks literally stole people's life savings, houses etc. then did nothing as the money they've been paying in taxes were used to bail out the banks that robbed from millions of law abiding citizens. Why would they give two shits about what the same government does to the international community?

[lonesomeloser]

I know they have. The USA has given him arms and he kills the innocent. That is wrong, of course it is. What does this have to do with American people being cowards. You have yet to address that question.

My point pal, and to answer your question, "is that because american people fail to stand up for what they believe in". (if they do believe in "I know they have")

They are too concerned with their own self-interest to look at the bigger picture and allowing these political criminals to get away with murder. If you done what they did you would be held accountable before a court of law, yet why are they not held accountable?

Furthermore, Why do they feel the need to hold other countries politicians accountable when they do not hold their own countries politicans accountable for their illegal actions?

good point, so why does the american community not make a stand?

[FuzzyDunlop]

Because the illusion of democracy still somehow exists.

Americans believe in survival of the fittest

You act like this is some big conspiracy

[dmtrader]

On an Internet forum, you can post whatever you like, make sweeping generalizations, accusations without having to back them up, etc.

None of which makes anything you say true. It's your OPINION. Everyone has their own opinion. Yours isn't any better than anyone else.

So, it's obvious you just want to stir things up. Fine. You have your reward in the reactions of the other posters here.

But a better use of your time - go out and try to make some positive changes. If you don't like the U.S., then try to make things better where you live.

[chilidog]

You have to accept the good with the bad. If not for the Americans most everyone would be speaking German. Without the Americans there would be only Japan in Asia. When you accept the friendship of the US you have to take the good with the bad because there is a LOT of both.

Reminds me of a song:

Well, he was one of the millions
Who signed up to defend us long ago in 1941
When they sucker punched us in Pearl Harbor
He fought under Macarthur seventeen with an army Thompson gun

Well, he stormed a lot of beaches slept in jungles with the leaches
He saw things young man should never see
And when they shot him in the shoulder
He got back up and he marched over
Left a lot of brothers dead in kawagalie

If it wasn't for the good Lord and the man
There wouldn't be a breath of freedom in this land
And I see people on my TV taking shots at uncle Sam
I hope they always remember why they can

'Cause we'd all be speakin' German
Livin' under the flag of Japan
If it wasn't for the good Lord and the man
If it wasn't for the good Lord and the man

Well, I'm the grandson of a soldier
And I'd fight the whole world over
If duty called and freedom's on the line
But thanks to the greatest generation
And the ones still fighting for our nation
I've never had to kill for my way of life

If it wasn't for the good Lord and the man
There wouldn't be a breath of freedom in this land
And I see people on my TV taking shots at uncle Sam
I hope they always remember why they can

'Cause we'd all be speakin' German
Livin' under flag of Japan
If it wasn't for the good Lord and the man

If it wasn't for the good Lord and the man
There wouldn't be a breath of freedom in this land
And I see people on my TV taking shots at uncle Sam
I hope they always remember why they can

'Cause we'd all be speakin' German
Livin' under flag of Japan
If it wasn't for the good Lord and the man
If it wasn't for the good Lord and the ma

[C-Gold]

don't you think that without america's actions and imperalism the world would be a better place?

Yeah, the naitive Americans would have invented the internet and turned into an advanced gambling society. If it wasn't for John Smith you'd be living on a giant Indian resort that resembles Vegas.

Africa has been soooooo much better off in the last 50 years without the primitive Europeans there. If only they could kick those South Africans out then Africa would be the #1 place to live and they could send foreign Aid to Americans.

[Full Time Hobo]

I Cant believe I read through this whole thread

Don't like the USA who gives a fuk. Not many countries do but we'll continue to help the world.
Love how everyone accuses Americans of being on a pedestal but I have yet to hear of where they are from... too embarrassed?
USA is the best - face it. No one here can imagine the world without US and if you think it would be better you may need your head examined. The same "brainwashing" of Americans that they're the best is the same brainwashing you're getting from your country that we are the worst.

Just live with it and go back to gambling on a gambling forum.

I'm pretty sure even if Germany defeated the Soviets (which was virtually impossible based on sheer size of Soviet Union) Europe would not be speaking German. They would have allowed native languages to exist. You see the goal of Germany was not to create the United States of Europe.

[Emily_Haines]

The US and Israel are the two biggest terrorist nations today. Both thumb their noses at international law. Every year regard the issue of the Palestinians the US, Israel and some micro Pacific Islands vote one way while the rest of the world votes the other way. Once again the hard right wing tools think we are right and the rest of the world is wrong.

It takes a brave person to fly a remote control plan and kill people or to drop bombs on people with no chance of getting shot down.

War on terror is just an excuse for our criminal state to kill people

You are right,it is just my opinion. I just wish americans would not be so blind and ingorant of the FACTS. Such FACTS as they kill innocent people for cheaper oil etc. Just my opinion though. Ignorance is bliss.

Lol, my point exactly. No doubt America done a good thing in WWII. No question. However, your attitude proves my point. However, it does not mean they have the right to control the world, and in effect, become a modern day hitler. Which is without doubt, what a lot of countries think american imperalism has become.

[big0mar]

You are naive enough to beieve that it isn't

Its pretty clear

We take what we want from who we want
It makes us rich

Where is the conspiracy at?

[rkelly110]

Yes, the American people where against the Iraq war, but we didn't want to go in, kick ass
and then leave like the 1st time there. We are increasingly against the Afghan war also.
We want to leave all places we have been, a better place after we leave.

We are sorry innocents are harmed in all the wars. That's why war is hell.

Anyone who can achieve world domination deserves world domination.

You are the biggest cross dressing anti semmite at SBR.

Why don't you leave the USA and hate your jews in the Muslim world. I hear housing is cheap in Yemen.

A like you hobo because you suport the ravens but:

1. USA only helps countries when it suits their agenda
2. Why is USA the best? Is it the 20%real unemployment, the guns, the inept response to the katrina disaster, the ingrained racism, their drug use in sports, denial of health services whilst they build a useless billon dollar war on the mexico border, their dictatorial foreign policy and abuse, false flag events etc
3. I am sure people would love to say the usa is the best country in the word, but for you to think that the world is a better place for americas actions in recent times is completely laughable.

[lonesomeloser]

what a flawed argument. That is pathetic. In other words, you support US invading Iraq and Afghan. You sound like a "brainwashed" german student of the hitler era.

[lonesomeloser]

In other words you believe in world domination at all costs

what comes around goes around

[nyed1010]

wait what? I thought the opposite was true and that was the problem.
Anyway, I guess the world are cowards too, since nobody is stopping us from engaging in such dastardly acts.........

[FourLengthsClear]

60% of all aid in the world comes from 1 country: The United States of America.

and the award for best made up statistic of the day goes to.......................
Total BS.

[FourLengthsClear]

Its pretty clear

We take what we want from who we want

The US is the most debt ridden nation on Earth.
Fact.

C-gold being racist again I think native Americans would have been well advanced without European diseases...

[King Mayan]

No USA= Your ass dead in a concentration camp..

[Grind-It-Out]

There are tons of things I hate about the USA. Thinking about our government makes me angry, and thinking about all of the sheep makes me sick.

Name some place better and I'll move there, but I bet you can't. Like it or not, America is the greatest country in the world.

[C-Gold]

I think native Americans would have been well advanced without European diseases...

Yeah and Africans wouldn't have to live in mud huts if it weren't for those primitive Europeans that conqured them in every country they existed. Pass me the piece pipe Mayan.

[smitch124]

Well the Native Americans might not have "advanced" to the same extent, but they seemed pretty content with the way they were living and its certainly a much more sustainable way to live long term.

Define better or greatest. Don't know if this helps you.

[Salmon Steak]

why do people from other countries always connect "Americans" with "American Government"? I have no control over the gov or anything it does. I have nothing to do with the military. My vote means nothing so I don't vote. I just live here. I am not a coward.

[Grind-It-Out]

I'll save the article for later, but I do submit that "better" and "greatest" are subjective and relative to your own values.

[King Mayan]

Native Americans ( including central and south American) were way more advanced than what Africa is today...
