There are many things I don't like about America :

- They think they rule the world.
- They love guns.
- They have KKK
- They have no social security system to protect poorer people and may seem not to care about them.
- They cannot play soccer !
and so on, and so on...

BUT !
Before bashing them, maybe we should have a look at our own history !

- We killed 6,000,000 jews !
- Some of us dare say we did not kill any !!!
- Napoleon, Staline and many other dictators killed millions of people.
- We started both World Wars
and so on, and so on...
AND WE WERE GLAD HAVING THEM IN 1945 !

So, finally, what's the use of bashing each other ?

Anyway, I still think Bush is a dumb ... ;)

Not everyone in America has a superiority complex, only the government..

- They love guns.

This is a right many Americans enjoy, but not all..

- They have KKK

There are many other groups equal to the KKK in other countries around the world...

- They have no social security system to protect poorer people and may seem not to care about them.

In the state I live in I work for an Economic Assistance group and I can say we help as many poor people as we can, but you have to understand that many of these people bring it upon themselves. The US is definitely a land of opportunity (especially right now) and there are some people that choose not to take advantage of that and just live off the people that work hard for a living...

- They cannot play soccer !

I think I was a pretty good soccer player when I was a kid :)

<< There are many things I don't like about America :

No, we've been forced, begged, and pleaded into becoming the world's baby sitter.



<< - They love guns. >>



No, we love freedom and not being dependant on the state for our safety. We didn't get to be the most powerful nation on Earth by being a bunch of wet-pants nannystaters. The UK finally banned all guns and virtually outlawed the right to defend oneself, and look what that did for their crime rate...



<< - They have KKK >>



The KKK is a joke today. Every country has it's fringe group. BUT, at least in this country, the KKK has a right to express their beliefs, no matter how unpopular. Something that does not exist in most of the countries of Europe. Besides, the KKK has never done anything close to what the nazis did.



<< - They have no social security system to protect poorer people and may seem not to care about them. >>



Show me ONE starving person in America. We do have a welfare system and a social security. What are they teaching you over there? Our poorest people have a higher standard of living than most of the world. &quot;Poor&quot; is relative.

We care about our poor. We just refuse to subsidize lazy people for the rest of their lives.



<< - They cannot play soccer ! >>



Correction, we play soccer, we just don't have a large enough support of viewers to make it a nationally televised sport like baseball, football, basketball and hockey.



<< and so on, and so on...

Fine. You stay where you are and live your state subsidized life and we'll all be happy.

It has kept us free. Especially back in late 1700's and 1800's.



<< They have KKK >>



European countries have hate groups as well and so does the whole world for that matter. It does not mean everybody feels that way.



<< They think they rule the world. >>



We do not think we rule the world, however we are in a postition where we must help other countries.



<< They have no social security system to protect poorer people and may seem not to care about them. >>



We do have a social security system, however European countries do have a better health and retirement system. At the same time, we do not have to pay 16% in VAT on every purchase or have to pay $5.00 for a gallon of gasoline because of all the taxes.



<< They cannot play soccer ! >>



When the world catches up to us in football, baseball, and basketball then we will learn to play soccer better. Anyways what is fun about a 1-1 soccer match where 30 people get trampled to death before every match?

I have two for Europe though. Why can't they just name a highway (autobahn) one number instead of three or four? Why can't they use North, South, East, and West. Such as 60 North instead of 60 Koln, Aachen, Liege, Bitburg, Northpole, Southpole?

And everyone hated the English when they ruled the world, just comes with the territory.



<< - They love guns. >>



Damn right, no way am i living where not even the police are allowed to carry.



<< - They have KKK >>



And Europe has skin heads.



<< - They have no social security system to protect poorer people and may seem not to care about them. >>



I'm confused here. We have Welfare(which i think should be abandoned). Social Security here gives benefits to retirees who have worked.




<< - They cannot play soccer ! >>



Johnson kicks left, kicks rights, dribbles, shoot, miss, repeat that 800 times and we have soccer =].





<< - We killed 6,000,000 jews ! >>



Lets not forget the 3.5 million noew jewish poles who died. This always bugged me. Why didn we polish get forgotten?



<< - Some of us dare say we did not kill any !!! >>



Didnt a german citizen actually say that the holocaust was US propaganda?



<< - Napoleon, Staline and many other dictators killed millions of people >>



cant argue there



<< - We started both World Wars >>



And came to us pretty darned quickly



Sorry, just throwing out another view on those items.

I don't think you should bash Germany TODAY for a wars started over fifty years ago by an insane anti-semist.

We killed 6,000,000 Jews.

YOU didn't kill anybody. The Nazi party had those people killed during World War II, again, over fifty years ago.

What's he use of bashing each other? What's the use of bashing yourself? Don't blame a country TODAY for something that happend years ago.
