Rich, your attitude towards America and Americans is obviously taken from ignorance. You fail to understand us.
Well such a strange post so late in the day but I obviously have to correct one or two myths to say the least.
Asking the Negroes whether it was fun? They didn't participate in your diatribe (so far as I know). But yes, ask them. Ask Leonard Pitt. Ask Colin Powell. Ask Condoleeza Rice. For starters, at least. Ask a lot of highly paid people who happen also to be Negroes.
Well I'm not sure where that came from but simply because a few black high flyers have at last made it doesn't give you the right to take the moral high ground regarding the treatment of Negroes, equality and freedom etc.
In America, we have the land of opportunity
For the vast majority that means if your skin is white
but we have an awesome number of immigration applications and tons of illegal immigrants to go with the others.
I think you'll find that refers to mainly Hispanics
You know why certain other countries want to destroy us?
Yes I do and it has nothing to do with religion or freedom, these are just the excuses fed to you by your leaders to keep your capitalist roots intact.
The very statement that many other countries want to destroy you is in itself mainly nonsense,mainly attributable to paranoia and partly because of your actions on the world stage over the last 50yrs.
It's far too complex a subject to even try and dissect here but basically when you stop treating the world as if you own it then others will look more kindly at you.
Because we are the one thing they cannot tolerate - a country that ISN'T blindly bound to religion.
That statement also applies to most of Europe and has done for far longer, since for the main part Europe isn't subjected to the same levels of hatred as the US your statement cannot be true
Of COURSE they hate us. We are like poison to them.
I'm sure I've pointed this out before but the US is not the great bastion of freedom and democracy that you seem to think, therefore again your reasoning is deeply flawed.
But don't try it in certain other countries that are so much "better" than us.
I'm a little confused here, which countries do you think I've suggested were better?
Even I wouldn't wish that on you, despite your negative attitude.
Which negative attitude are you referring to, the fact that the US claims to be the leader of the free world and then totally ignores the free world's wishes and that I frequently challenge this myth,I didn't think you were that naive.
