Zapper,
There is always someone who feels inadequate about his or her own small contribution to the world so why not hate or blame the only remaining world superpower?
When some third world country is starving (usually caused by their own totalitarian Marxist government) we’re expected to step in and feed the hungry, the UN has shown time and time again that it just can’t get it up (perhaps they need a little testosterone injection).
But we catch hell when things get messy, it’s always out fault, this is mainly do to the morally bankrupt mentality of “perception is reality”.
The world media loves to perpetuate this, think about it, what sells papers, airtime, or radio advertisement??? Sensationalism, scandal, corruption, negative reporting, why do you think there are so many of those “National Enquirer” type tabloids? People are sheepish and week, if everyone read “Rise and Fall of the great Powers” by Paul Kennedy, or any other respected book on geopolitics, people would not be drawn to these simplistic one sided conclusions about US foreign policy, they might even grasp the role of the US in relation to the world today.
I love the reference to “fanatical brand of Christianity” like we threaten the world with our generosity, what has secular humanism ever done for the world? Stalin, ******, Mao, Pol Pot, perhaps I should feel guilty for having a moral conviction; I refuse to submit to the convenient, irresponsible moral revivalism that plagues the world today (seems to be the platform of the left). Congratulations on the extermination of over 100 MILLION people (accomplished by the afore mentioned world leaders of secular humanism).
I’m supposed to feel guilty about building a mission in some third world dump?
No one threatens to kill if you don’t accept Christ as your savior, your eternal salvation is YOUR responsibility, I may not agree with everything the Christian Right stand for but to compare them to “Bin Laden” is just retarded.
Yes there are many aspects of American culture that are pathetic, but you have a CHOICE to either be a sheep and watch mainstream TV shows (fake reality TV, sitcoms), eat fast food, and be a slave to consumerism, or you can insist on being an individual (the people on the left insist that they’re such individuals but they all seem to follow each others knee jerk mentality and I’ve yet to see anyone have courage and offer any viable alternatives to the status quo).
I could ramble on and on about a myriad of cultural and economical shortcomings of Europe, but I live in the real world and recognize that there is always room for improvement, to be vindictive, negative and hateful is to be small.
Anyone who has spent time in the US (try visiting Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, the Rocky Mountains, NYC, etc) would have a difficult time hating the US, I traveled much of the Western World and I’ve yet to find a better place or people.
Let these geeks hate the US, there is nothing they can do about it (what are they going to do, fight us??? LOL!!!!). I hope the rest of the world hates us so they stay away and don’t infect us with their “huddled masses” of criminals, drug dealers, lazy parasitic socialists and cigarette smoking, unemployed Euros with bad hygiene.
