Uhm, Baghdad was/is a nice modern looking, and yet had a tyrannical rule?

So enough America bashing. Oh but wait, every post of yours is anti-American .... so keep on

A large metropolis doesn't reflect the entire country. For instance, New YorK City doesn't represent middle America.

So does Shanghai represent a factory with slave laborers somewhere in Guangdong province? Does Bombay represent Indian child laborers working in a factory in Chennai?

By the way, nice thread Aimster, sorry I had to add these comments. Just had to reply to him.

Past year or so I have heard quite a few europeans commenting on the fact that they always heard US is so nice compared to home and come to realize it's become sort of a dump with some scary warmongering whackos running the show.
Click to expand...

Right, America is a dump :thumbsdown::disgust:

Those rotten Europeans forget the fact that we liberated them from certain death and protected them from the Russkies all throughout these years. By the way, we are enjoying more growth and prosperity even after the worst terrorist attack ever than they are. Our cities are growing.

I bet when you go abroad you tell everyone how crappy America is and how much Americans "suck".

I am proud to say that the "Freedom Tower" in New York City will become the tallest building in the world 🙂. God Bless America and New York City rocks!!

Interesting you bring this up:
Past year or so I have heard quite a few visiting europeans commenting on the fact that they always heard US is so nice compared to home and come to realize it's become sort of a dump with some scary warmongering whackos running the show.
Anyone want to comment on that from outside the US?

As far as your "every comment I make is anti-american" troll, yes this is my home and if it a mess I will say something about it. Ignoring your house will not get the dishes done or the floor swept. The dirt just piles up.

ah yes, those terrorists were right, those 3000 Americans were wrong. I knew you really believed that America caused 9/11. Thank you for confirming that. Crashing planes into buildings is a great thing, since they're only Americans, but going after terrorists is evil and America should be punished for that. Down with America.

I bet you have an orgasm when Osama Bin Churchill speaks.

oh boy

Yes I love NYC, that city is near and dear to my heart. Learn to spell by the way, you American hater, you.

by the way, how did I cause 9/11? How did regular Americans cause 9/11? Clinton was in office before Bush, did he cause 9/11? Did Bush cause 9/11? You are a idiot. A complete idiot.

I bet you blame America for the attack on the USS Cole, or the WTC attack in 93. What do you feel about Pearl Harbor? Was England right in going after Hitler or should it have appeased it like Chamberlain and let Hitler take over the world?

Wow this thread has been turned upside down 😀:thumbsdown:

I spelled it maul for a reason it figures you wouldn't know why.
It's from a "good American" song as follows:

That's Progress

Give me an "M"-M!
Give me an "A"-A!
Give me a "U"-U!
Give me an "L"-L!
Give me your money - Sure!
What's that spell?-Mall
What's that spell?- Shopping Mall

'Scuse me
Pardon my greed-
You're evicted, time to leave
Don't matter if your family's lived here 30 years

We're tripling the rent
Time's up, the sheriff's here
Too bad for you if you freeze out in the street

The croissant and cookie palace
Downstairs will symbolize
The old neighborhood whose soul has slowly died
Been gentrified

CHORUS
That's progress
That's progress
Doesn't progress make you feel good inside?

Cameras catch you runnin' red lights
Schoolrooms with no windows
Computer picks your carreer at age 15

Universal Price Code I.D.'s
With the stripe the laser reads
And records where you've been, when you're sick
And what you eat

For every spy in government
There's 50 private eyes
Who round up dirt on you to keep on file
Then sell the file

CHORUS

Progress don't make me feel so good inside

You can't live here
We won't hire you
We know all the nasty things you do

Bought a dossier on your whole life
Clear back to the pranks you did in school at age 5

There's millions on file at the touch of a button
Your boss or your landlord will love our choice cuts of gossip
If it's lies, what can you do?
'Cos it costs too much to sue
The last person who'll ever see your file is you

Had enough, I moved back home
To the mountains where I belong
But ski resorts have tamed the wild west

The hills we used to roam
Now they're privately owned
And scarred with cheezy suburbs and cement

The `Tracts For Sale' sign promises
`Deer in your back yard'
If the deer somehow get past the fences and guards
And the industrial `park'

CHORUS

That's progress
That's progress
Looks like I'll have to move to Yellowknife

Progress-bleah!
Your idea of progress wrecks too many lives

rofl, nice avoidance of my post, completely changed the subject, eh?. And no, not maul. Some other word (figure it out on your own), but of course, I wouldn't expect any more from you.

So, in case you missed it:

What have I done that caused these people to murder 3,000 of my fellow Americans? What has any other American done? Do you hold Clinton responsible for 9/11 or just Bush? What do you say about WTC-1? USS Cole? Were they our fault?

Are the terrorists always right? When is killing innocent people a good thing to do? When they are American?

What about the 3,000 dead Americans? Do they not matter? 400 firefighers and police dead. And you tell me that its our fault?

Did you attend Osama Bin Churchill's classes? Well you sure seem to be spouting the same exact BS he said. I bet Michael Moore isn't even as radical as you and your buddy, Osama Bin Churchill.

Hypocrisy at its finest. And no, don't bring Iraq into it. Thats a easy copout for you and the people who side with you.

Folks have been commenting on here and Foriegners visting of how dirty the U.S. Cities are.

Many have crumbling infrastructure.

Crime riddled yet they claim crime is down.

For example I am in New Orleans now. Shootings and Murders dominate everyday. Guys that I am working with had to abandon a Cell site they were working at because people were shooting in the parking lot across from them.

The New Orleans Police never report the events. They put them down as other not so violent things such as domestic dispute with babysitter.

You have not been outside of the United States, but you claim to know that the U.S. cities are in decay compared to foreign countries? Dave.. You are just sad. I've traveled to, I'd guess, around 20 different countries so far in my life. While I have not been to every country, I can easily say, perhaps excluding Canada (Which is basically the United States anyway), that the United States as a whole (And I've been to nearly every State), is better than every country I've visited.

Don't take that the wrong way, as I know you will.. I'm not saying there is anything WRONG with these countries I visited.. They are beautiful, the people are friendly, etc.. But once you get outside of the tourist trap, the people are usually POOR.. The poor of these countries would live like KINGS if they had the type of job you claim we only have in the United States (McD's and Walmart).. Dave, you may THINK you have seen poverty, but if you have never left the United States you have NO IDEA what it is. And the funny thing is, is these people appreciate what little they do have more than your sorry ass here in the United States.

Its amazing your opinions about America are so strong Dave, when you have absolutely NOTHING to compare it to. Maybe you need to join the Peace Corp or something and travel a little to get some perspective.. and you will realize how absolutely great it is here in the United States. Its sad when the main thing people like you have to complain about is the lack of choice in broadband service, or perhaps even lack of broadband service in a rural area. THATS not decay Dave, thats called you having too damn much handed to you on a silver platter in this country to even KNOW what you should really be complaining about.

You can say our cities are in decay when you don't have electricity for months after a storm, or you use the river to clean your clothes in because there is no such thing as running water where you live. You can complain when you can get 1 radio station on the AM radio you have, and not DirecTV to you 36 inch TV, and your broadband connection to millions of places on the internet. You can complain when you have to take a crappy motorcycle 30 miles to the nearest market to pack a couple necessities into a bag for your family.. rather than taking your own personal car 5 minutes down the road to Walmart which carries anything you could ever want for any situation.

Dave, you can start commenting on the state of our country when you actually have some life experience. You'd think at your age you would have that by now.. But its clear you are too wrapped up in complaining about things like government taking away your rights because you illegally install software on someone elses computer than to worry about what the rest of the world is like.

Get outside your bubble Dave, the world does not revolve around you and your minor problems which you bring upon yourself.
