Ohh la la.................here we go.
Right, well Ill try address each of your points............but Im going to be repeating myself alot here.
JREED23 wrote:]You do know this for a fact? Well though there is really no way of knowing for sure I imagine that the three most populated countries in the world (China, India and USA) don't hate us. China should love us because of our love affair with consumerism, we contribute over 60% to their foreign trade. India is in the same boat but instead of goods, outsourcing from American companies and government has improved their standard of living and overall economy. And well, why would we hate ourselves? You're talking well-over 2.5 billion people in these three countries - granted the majority of the world might hate us but it's a slim majority at best. Not to mention with the failing world economy being a direct result of our own - I doubt to many sensible people are rooting against us.
Well, I dont really understand people who cant read something and realise that at no point were there any statements of "fact".............at no point was I saying that EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE WORLD FEELS THIS WAY........FACT!!!
And hence, the entire post above is pointless, redundant, mute............and to be honest, typical American defensiveness............although actually, Ill change that to typical human defensiveness.
Although, you do admit that a "slim majority" might hate America................thats alright then huh? lol.
Moreover, I like how you included "USA" in the largest countries in the world who DONT HATE...................the USA.

Us dumb Americans would have never been able to figure it out by ourselves. Give me a break! Just because you've seen some movies, american television and/or been over here a few times hardly gives you the right or the knowledge to comment on what really goes through an American's head. Blind, unwarranted hate, the same kind Hitler once had...
Once again..............nowehere did I say that every American feels a certain way...........jesus, this is going to be boring rebuttal, simply because you dont have anything.
Hitler though? really? me saying that certain Americans think a certain way is comparable to Hitler............? wow, bravo, good point, your really cooking now.
JREED23 wrote:Sheer speculation. Keep it up, you could be on FOX NEWS some day!
Hmmm. see the first couple of responses from me...........pointless and assumptive.............can you say hypocrite?
JREED23 wrote:I'd rather not, there is only room for one of us to bask in our ignorance.
Well, the post you responded to there was me saying that cant we all just acknowledge that
EVERY country/government/general populus is largely a load of sh*t.............just accept that, have fun and realise that atleast you arent one of them.
Well, your response..............I guess you are one of them, because if you cant grasp the concept of that and react so defensive to all that I said.............then you must be.

Im going to quote myself aswel in the nest one, because it illustrates perfectly my point about you either not reading or understanding a damned thing Im saying, because your little red white blue deflector shields are up =

Agree with you for the most part here, except you aren't just offending my country or government, your boorishly criticizing our population which includes myself.
See what I mean?.............at which point did I say that ALL Americans are those things..............and hang on, did I even mention a countries name in there? and wasnt a specifically referring directly to ALL countries, governments and people???
Get over yourself man, get off your high horse............seriously, read it again.............realise whats going on here before you start some sh*t like this.
JREED23 wrote:No history? LOL! I dare you to find and provide proof of any other country accomplishing so much in a 230 year span as we have - for better or for worse. We have rose to power in the fraction of the time of any world power, past and present. We have contributed so much to this planet (again for better or worse) that it would be impossible to list everything. I will if you want, since I've requested that you back your statements up, but I think you already know what I'm talking about.
Ohh wow.............this is the one Im looking forward too.
First...............

Ohh man, ok ok.............right, "proof of other countries accomplishing so much in 230 years" =
Do you even know anything about the history that you seem so blindly able to defend, ok, Ill list some things for you =
1 - The rape and pillaging of argrcultural resources that they murdered and destroyed the REAL Americans to assume and take over............in the process, murdering to the basic point of extinction, an entire/indigenous race of people.
Bravo.
2 - The systematic kidnapping of vast amounts of slaves from Africa and basically running the slave trade for the entire world.............so they could do all the hard work in building up your infrastructure and economy, whilst being paid nothing for it.
Bravo, real way to cut costs there and build an economy quick and efficiently.
3 - Didnt the Chinese build most of America's railroads, as almost slaves, being paid next to nothing for it............thus enabling travel, export, industry, all manner of economy boosting activities..............ALL FOR BASICALLY FREE!!! or at best, a hell of alot cheaper than all other countries who wanted the same.
Once again, bravo.
4 - Using up a continents worth of natural gases and oil in that short space of time (well, used it up a long time ago) and either using it to "build" the country or sell it all to other countries.............when basically it was all stumbled upon by chance/luck.........well, theft really huh.
Then when its all gone.........leading the fight to pluder and steal the rest of the oil from around the world, creating false wars as justification to go over and take what they want.
Beautiful.

Man, Im getting bored..............it is funny though, so Ill field your last silly paragraph.

If we have nothing to be proud of than what do you? If you don't mind me asking..
Hey, why not?..............Id love to see how you think that America meets those definitions............give it a shot.
What do I have to be proud of?.................well, once again, again...............again..............I didnt say I was proud of anything, and the point of my post was to talk to people WHO ARE proud of certain aspects of their country, when they dont really have any cause to be or dont really know what they are talking about.
And again, again..............I said that ALL countries are sh*t and every single country has a checkered past and things they cant be proud off.
The basic point being, I hate patriotism, its pathetic and only causes hatred and divide.............ohh and also, you need to learn to read...........or at best, learn how to look at something without instantly going on the defensive, and hence lead yourself to not really understand what is being said.............even when its right there infront of you in black and white (please see the quote up there of your post and mine............again)
Phew..............that was pointless wasnt it............cant wait till you reply and completely mis-understand, mis-read through your defensiveness and generally talk a load of crap.
