It must be PC to hate the US.

www.cnn.com

In the article it says that only 28% of the people interviewed in Kuwait favored the US.

That pisses me off. Had it not been for the US Kuwait would be the southern tip of Iraq right now. Why do we even bother helping people outside of the US. They all hate us.

 

[Hammer]

When I hear things like that it makes me wish we split Kuwait with Iraq.

 

[minendo]

<< Why do we even bother helping people outside of the US. >>


Because they have something the US wants.

 

[Czar]

I think this has more to do with US contact with Israel and the most recent events and not the Gulf war. People forget too quickly.

What the....? Do you think we did it for any other reason than oil?

We "help" people when it suits our interest. We liberated Kuwait to ensure the free-flow of oil, not to free the Kuwait people by returning them to a monarchy.

For oil you say?

 

[Red Dawn]

I bet we dislike them more than they dislike us. I mean I can't imagine them thinking any less of us that I think of them.

 

[Hammer]

That and the fact the Iraq probably would not have stopped at Kuwait had they been successful.

Should that matter ? They were being murdered and their women raped, all their property was being confiscated by the Camel Buggering Hordes of Iraqi's. We saved them from that. So we did it for free flowing oil we still did it.

 

[CKDragon]

I agree that it was mostly oil... although it was kind of scary hearing that Iraq was amassing a lot of nukes. I'm sure there are plenty of countries doing that, though...

So you "wah wah oil" guys are saying we should have let Iraq claim Kuwait as part of their own country?

 

[teriba]

Most people hate the US because they are:

a) the most powerful nation in the world
b) the most ignorant nation in the world

That is quite a horrible combination and I hope you agree. You guys don't give a damn about anything environmental and you WILL cause the extinction of the world. You act like you are the policemen of the world, though you only help out when it will give you a favourable economic situation afterwards. If it is simply to save some people you won't go in and help, but if you can save some people and be considered for oil trading, etc., you're all for it. The only way that smaller countries can try to raise awareness to this problem is terrorism and your leader is trying to remove this ability from the world as well. As soon as terrorism is eradicated he will be able to move freely in his own blundering way, pushing us all towards the physical limits of the earth.:|

"The survey also found that 61 percent said they did not believe Arab groups carried out the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington"

Riiiiight. Brain washed fools.

 

[JoeBaD]

O, teriba,

and what have you done in the last 30 days to make this a greater world?

Self-righteous friggin' Canadian.

My apologies to you non-self-righteous friggin' Canadians.

 

[Hammer]

Blah Blah Blah. Funny you should say that. Its quite convinient considering Canada can just sit back and rely on the US for protection.

Care to back any of that up? I'm especially interested in any support you have for comment "b". Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't your post imply that terrorism is a good thing? You call the US ignorant, then in the same breath support terrorism. I don't think you can get much more ignorant than to support terrorism.

[Red Dawn]

teriba, what makes us more ignorant than you? Just because you come froim a weak ass nation whose dependant on us for your friggin own survival doesn't make us ignorant. In fact I think you and others like you are the ones who are ignorant. You are ignorant because you think that others around the world give a damn about us, you and the rest of the Economic Powers. You think they would give a damn what some Nancy Boy Canadian was whining "aboot"?

I agree people forget too quickly.

The provided US military support in Europe and other parts of the world.

The money invested in NATO and the UN and the Olympics.

The largest Amount of Finantial and Food Aid than any other country in the world.

You're right Czar, people forget too quickly.

Violence = awareness. LMAO at that one. Please go join ranks with the scum running for their lives over in the Middle East so that I can hope a rain of smart bombs happens to target your ignorance, well, no worries there since it's damn near impossible to miss.

Wow...I must have had my head stuck up my butt the day the "accepted" method of raising awareness of problems shifted from peaceful protest and lobbying to terrorism and violence!

And all this time I've been wasting my time and effort organizing rallies and writing to lawmakers and giving my support to peaceful NGOs when I should have been training suicide bombers.

Are you NUTS?!?!?
Are you REALLY A TERRORIST?
Do you seriously think that a single man who BY LAW cannot hold office more than 8 years will "push us all towards the physical limits of the Earth?"

SLAP SLAP SLAP
Not even the president of the US has that kind of power. He's not God, he's just an elected friggin official.

If eradicating terrorists is a bad thing, I dunno what's good anymore.

I've seen a lot of stupid posts in this forum, but I can say without hyperbole that this is a million times dumber than all of them put together

Americans on AT:

On behalf of myself and my country of Canada, I would like to apologize for the rampant stupidity of this post by my fellow "countryman".

This is the most moronic of all statements. Oxymoronic, that is.

How did we get to be the most powerful, if we're the most ignorant???
