Yes, I noticed the grandma funk as well.

Exactly they think they can see SanDiego,Palmsprings and Sanfrancisco all in 1 day.....California alone is like a Europe...

I'm done with this pot..Irritating as hell....Where is Venom I would rather talk Drums and Music..

Yeah...laugh it up, fuck-o! The US are the babysitters of the world...if it weren't for us most European & other countries a like would be in shambles right now.

I think Bush is an awesome president. If anyone else were ruling this country @ this time, I'm sure we'd have plenty more Americans dead from the terrorists. Hell, we probably wouldn't even be in this mess if it weren't for Clinton's sorry ass in the first place.

I thought the president of the U.S. was Pootie Tang???

LOL

Just because Bush isnt a good speaker doesnt mean hes a bad president.. Clinton Was a incredible speaker..Besides Congress and the house are the real boss of the country..

To make my stance perfectly clear - I am European.

Having said that I'd like to comment on the WWII thing. The Germans would have won for sure if it wasn't for the US. People claiming otherwise are just plain stupid. And I do agree with the US in their foreign politics for most parts (especially now, muslim extremists ARE a big threat to what we like to refer as "wester civilization" and me for one am thankful for the US doing what they're doing!)

But, I would also like to comment on the US webmaster degrating opionion about Europe. You do realize that the EU (European Union) totals more than the US in Gross National Product.

Having said that I think that both US and EU would benifit from keeping the strong ties we actually have, far from all Europeans dislike the US.

Still, the world is pretty much fucked.

Maybe its time YOU checked your history books!

:thumbsup

*ahem* the aussies lost quite a few men holding the japanese back.... also like the US, we sent a fuckload of our men over there to help out the europeans when it wasn't really our business (until japan entered the war) in fact, in proportion, almost 3 times more Australians died defending other people's countries than Americans.. (ie we lost .56% of our population and america lost .19) alothough obviously without american help with the japanese we would have been pretty fucked :)

I think bush is an excellent speaker. Before you joke, consider this:

He uses simple words that everyone can understand.
He makes mistakes like a normal human being, but continues on paying more attention to his main points than his stumblings.
He appeals to his audience very well -- because for the most part, they are Average Joes.. not rocket scientists.

After reading none of the posts in this thread I came to the conclusion that this topic sucks

I've come to the conclusion that there are a bunch of rednecks around here.

Btw, one troubling comment... "If anyone else were ruling this country @ this time..."

Is Bush our RULER now? It sure seems like it right now, but I liked it better unspoken. All hail King Bush, Protector of White Christian America, Destroyer of Brown People, Speaker of Divine Idiocy!

*reads thread*

and then you wonder why people dont like americans?

This is why I'm moving to Australlia,nobody gives a damn about them :)

Well I must say those country's in Europe have been trying it for 1,000's of years and the USA has done it in lees than 300 years.

Were the most powerful country in the world and will remain so.

Fuck we could feed the world with NO problem.

If we decide to turn into complete asshole's we
could really fuck with the rest of these dip shit
country's and there Flub Stub people.

And when I see shit like this I think we should.

Go Piss up a Rope Pin Head you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground.

After reading this thread I'm concerned about the IQ of most people here. Or are most of you drunk or stoned when you post a message?

Umm you are forgetting about the time when the US was not even born yet.

Spain - France - England - The Netherlands were world powers, at one time England ruled 1/4 of the entire world.

It is correct that the US is the only worldpower at this moment, but there were many before them.

P.

You know I hate a lot of this nationalistic bullshit too...but it's no more bullshit than what any idiot on this board has spouted off about their countries over the last couple of weeks.

But what you guys might see as American arrogance is sometimes just plain frustration.

We have done so much for the rest of the world...and quite frankly a large part of our populace is quite tired of it.

We don't want to be the babysitter anymore...we have our own problems that we tend to let slide in order to help other countries who have less chances of being able to recover on their own.

I have asked my congressmen personally "when are we going to send our military instead of into places like Somalia but into the hills of Kentucky to feed the poor there?'

This country along with the help of other countries could solve world hunger throughout the world.

But this country by itself could solve the hunger problem within it's own borders.

But no. We try to spread the wealth to help maintain stable nations around the world so they don't feel the need to attack other countries to increase their wealth. e.g. Kuwait.

But it is this presence we keep in the affairs of others in this world that cause even more anger with us...so we're in a tight bind...damned if we do...damned if we don't.

So yes we do get pissed off...we do get a little arrogant...because quite frankly we're sick of it.

We're tired of being targets when all we've tried to do is help.

I don't want to maintain a presence in Saudi Arabia...I want us to pull out of South Korea...Fuck Africa....those Somali bastards deserve nothing but the world they have created for themselves.

What I do want is for the government to feed the children in my hometown, in my country. Because one thing for sure...they aren't going to take up arms against us for doing so.

So often I am embarrassed to be human. What a silly bunch we are. Countries are divided by imaginary lines that we drew. If we could get past our bizarre need to root for the home team and vilify the away team we could accomplish so much more. We have the technology to do so much, but we haven't evolved enough to handle it with wisdom and moral responsibility.

On a lighter note, I got this yesterday. It's kind of long, but I thought it was funny.

ANGERED BY SNUBBING, LIBYA, CHINA, SYRIA FORM AXIS OF "JUST AS EVIL"

BEIJING (SatireWire.com) - Bitter after being snubbed for membership in the "Axis of Evil," Libya, China, and Syria today
announced they had formed the "Axis of Just as Evil," which they said would be way eviler than that stupid Iran-Iraq-North Korea
axis President Bush warned of in his State of the Union address.

Axis of Evil members, however, immediately dismissed the new axis as having, for starters, a really dumb name. "Right. They are
'Just as Evil'...in their dreams!" declared North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. "Everybody knows we're the best evils ... best at being
evil ... we're number one two and three!"

Diplomats from Syria denied they were jealous over being excluded, although they conceded they did ask if they could join the Axis
of Evil. "They told us it was full," said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

"An Axis can't have more than three countries," explained Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. "This is not my rule, it's tradition. In
World War II you had Germany, Italy, and Japan in the evil Axis. So you can only have three. And a secret handshake. Ours is
wicked cool."

THE AXIS PANDEMIC

International reaction to Bush's "Axis of Evil" declaration was swift, as within minutes, France surrendered.

Elsewhere, peer-conscious nations rushed to gain triumvirate status in what became a game of geopolitical chairs. Cuba, Sudan,
and Serbia said they had formed the "Axis of Somewhat Evil," forcing Somalia to join with Uganda and Myanmar in the "Axis of
Occasionally Evil," while Bulgaria, Indonesia and Russia established the "Axis of Not So Much Evil Really As Just Generally
Disagreeable."

With the criteria suddenly expanded and all the desirable clubs filling up, Sierra Leone, El Salvador, and Rwanda applied to be
called the "Axis of Countries That Aren't the Worst But Certainly Won't Be Asked to Host the Olympics."

Canada, Mexico, and Australia formed the "Axis of Nations That Are Actually Quite Nice But Secretly Have Nasty Thoughts About
America," while Spain, Scotland, and New Zealand established the "Axis of Countries That Are Allowed to Ask Sheep to Wear
Lipstick." "That's not a threat, really, just something we like to do," said Scottish Executive First Minister Jack MacDonnell.

While wondering if the other nations of the world weren't perhaps making fun of him, a cautious Bush granted approval for most
axes, although he rejected the establishment of the "Axis of Countries Whose Names End in Guay," accusing one of its members
of filing a false application. Officials from Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chadguay denied the charges.

Israel, meanwhile, insisted it didn't want to join any Axis, but privately, world leaders said that's only because they hadn't been
invited.
