Poll: Hating America

[O'Hoy]

one more thing. those who hate our country simply on the fact that U.S. has killed so many civilians over the history of the wars we fought. war is a part of the human civilization, we all lived it and learn from it. INNOCENT PEOPLE DIE JUST AS QUICKLY AND IN MASS AMOUNTS EVERYDAY FROM AIDS, CANCER, AND SO ON....PUT YOURSELF IN THE POSITION OF THAT SOILDER, BEING SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE WHO HATE YOU JUST FOR THE FACT THAT YOU ARE IN THIER COUNTRY. MAYBE THE US SHOULD CLOSE THIER BORDERS OFF TO THE REST OF THE WORLD.

I love the U.S., september 11th attacks are nonsense. bin laden attacked due to the fact of when Iraq invaded Kuwait in the 1990. Bin Laden asked the Royal Saudis to let him help drive Hussien out. but the saudis turned to us. I do dislike our presidents ways of getting things done. i truly believe he is a good man, but he simply is not getting the job done when it comes to foreign, and even more importantly domestic policy.


But to hate the United States of America is to hate what the generations of americans before us so proudly fought for. thinks of all the good we have done to in this world. i have had family in every single war since ww2. those men who died, died for our right of free will. if you hate the U.S. you should leave, move to another country and see how much better ours is. how much easier we have it than in africa, or south america, or some depressing 3rd world country.

Hey Listen, O'Poo,
Don't you think it's time you stopped drinking Alcopops? or raiding your parents drinks cabinet?

 

[O'Hoy]

you can think whatever you want man. but cause i may disagree with what you think of this country, does not mean you should personally attack me. grow up, and quit being so immature.

Don't take it personal you must realize many people on this forum are not from the US and only believe what they read from media reports.
We have our problems here in the states as does eveyone else in the world, it's just that Viagra will not solve problems for everyone so they lash out at individuals like yourself.
Dig in and type what you feel, as you stated a lot of people including some of my close relatives fought and died for that right.
Besides UT defeated Texas Am and the NFL play-off's are coming up ....who cares what the rest of the world thinks, it's a chance to watch football (American Football) and drink beer.
Happy New Beer, I mean New Year

Interesting note. Britney looks to be of Cajun hence Arcadian hence Nova Scotian hence French ancestry. She looks to be of french origin but the surname- "Spears" does'nt sound french.

red, blues...its still the states isnt it, or dont you count those votes in your elections?

Thats right, here we don't judge an individual by the color of their skin just the color of their state.

Technically, yes but, here's a representation of the divide. It appears that Maryland does'nt seem to be included in the "Northern Alliance" reminiscent of our Civil War factionalization although they voted for Kerry. I live in the "Old Dominion"[aka-Virginia] which, unfortunately voted for Bush although, the most affluent area, where I live-Fairfax County, the county directly opposite Washington on the other side of the Potomac River, Bush lost in Fairfax, Fairfax City & the city of Falls Church (within Fairfax County). It proves what Herr Karl Rove (Bush's political advisor) said " The more education people have (he termed it over-educated) the more likely they are to vote Democratic."

Questions:
1. Where are you from?
2. Do you hate the U.S.?
3. Did we deserve to be attacked on 9/11?

1. Slovenia and most important: Europe
2. No
3. No

Very sad, but I`m in small minority. In Europe for last 4 years it`s very popular to hate America and all americans and think all of them are stupid. Just because Bush, "his" actions and stupidity. In Clinton`s time nobody did say anything against America and americans, then suddenly all changed. I don`t like all Bush`s actions too, but that`s not the reason to hate his country and fellow citizens! It`s so stupid to estimate whole nation or even the country because its president. Yes, that`s why I sometimes think people around me are the most stupid!
If all would judge just people they really know..

Now then Virenque, where have been for the last few months? Prison.
I rather liked people from down the south of Yugoslavia. Zagreb and Lubiana, let's hope your not one of those Albanian communists.
Hating Bush? we're trying to protect you from him. The man is an idiot, and so are 50% for voting for him again. Must agree that Clinton was OK, but I've always said that the death of President Tito, and the fall of communism in Russia would cause problems in Yugoslavia. You all did OK under that system which was Liberal/ Capitalist, and the country was stable. I loved you all from East to West, and North to South, even though I spent a night in Beograd talking to KGB. They were very nice about everything, probably more interested in our system rather than theirs. It's all good fun.

I for one appreciate an objective poster that does not generalize and make broad encompassing statements.
Bottom line I feel the same way, about all individuals that is ,where ever they are born.
So, good post!

So what's the point of posting without a polemic point of view or opinion. My brother was the same, puffing the peace pipe all evening.

Aha, no doubt about that

Well there is a danger. Individuals could start communicating on a friendly personal basis ,form a basis for personal understanding, everyone would have a feeling for other thoughts and relate to their their inner feelings.
Pretty soon everyone would be communicating on a friendly basis and world peace would break out.
For sure **** -can that ,it's pure insanity!

Well for once you've a bit of a point, you're as thick as as Bert, and who loves him? Things could become absolutely positive for Bush when he legalises it. Smoke and Pray that the light doesn't go out, but that the trash collectors come every week.
