Americans don't think other countries love them, they think other countries are all jealous of them. I'm not saying that's that case for every American, but people can see anything in an emotional situation, which is what other countries appear to be involved in towards America. Just as in your emotional comments I could convince someone that you are "jealous" of America. I don't think most Americans realize how silly that is though.

well, that is rather interesting. too bad you dont bring up any arguable points, other than blatent anti-american generalizations. I would certainly like to see this "huge statement" about why you hate america. Oh yeah, i wouldn't listen to any of it anyways. i'm just a close-minded idiot american who doesn't care about anyone but myself.

Hmmmm ... well at least you picked the most intelligent, articulate parts from your hour long treatise. Be honest, you spent an hour? I can understand your sentiments, however, ditto with Nico on the generalizations.

Well, I'm American but yeah, I think the country needs to pull back and let the rest of the world have its culture back. And some degree of peace. And that must be a long statement!

What I meant by I spent an hour....is that I spent an hour adeleted it all becasue its not worth arguing becasue its not going to do any good but you awanna hear some vail points Ill give you points becasue I have been travelling and I see the influence america has. For example I am in Taiwan teaching . And America needs $$$ for its ridiclous war in Iraq. They just relased a report in Taiwan (* america did) saying that China is building up its missle stock against Taiwan to eventually take back Taiwan . ( for those who dont know anythingf about this history of Taiwan and China you should read about it before reading more) America needs money for the war and First of all if China invades Taiwan to take it back all the missles in the world isn;t going to help Taiwan. China will crush Taiwan yet America thinks Taiwan should buy more arms from them. And America won;t even stand by Taiwan even China invades. It is such bullshit! Instead of a peacfull diplomatic solution America lobbys for an agreesive missle build up in Taiwan. I have plenty of examples. I can keep going but I have to go back to class. BThere is nothing you can say about this./....its just america wanting more money from arms sales.

That thing about Taiwan is interesting, because the Chinese president had this to say when speaking in front of Australian parliament:

quote:

Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. The complete reunification of China at an early date is the common aspiration and firm resolve of the entire Chinese people. A peaceful solution to the Taiwan question serves the interests of all Chinese people, including our compatriots in Taiwan. It also serves the common interests of all countries in the region, including Australia. The greatest threat to peace in the Taiwan Straits is from the splitist activities by the Taiwan independence forces. We are firmly opposed to Taiwan independence. The Chinese government and people look to Australia for a constructive role in China's peaceful reunification.

Sounds like there's a threat of violence there, especially if what you say about the "missile build-up" is true. Still not quite sure what the US has to do with it though?

Perhaps she is talking about this?

Hey if Taiwan doesn't want the pac-3 patriot then don't buy it. The US has long maintained a one china policy because the chinese would invade if that was ever disputed. At any rate, the US sends aircraft carriers to Taiwan whenever China conducts its "missile tests." No offense, but this sounds a lot like those S. Korean students protesting America's presense at the 38th parallel. If the US truly wanted to act in its best interests (and in a peaceful manner with itself ... who wants war with China?) we would abandon all diplomatic ties with Tapei. We all know what would happen then however ...

I pride msyelf on being a Canadian have a certain amount if respect for everyone in this world except for a nation below us who think that everyone in the world loves them, The only point that I wanted to say is that America sucks and most of them have their heads up their asses! And it's America that has been destroying the world for years! Your time will come America.I have been travelling for 2 years now and never have I seen the terrible influence of america upon this world until now and it really bothers me....and I'm not a vocal politcal person. I tell you one thing...never have I been more proud to be a Canadian. No nation is perfect , I realize that but.....I think we're doing ok.

Word to that....i do however agree with nico about the generalizations. I am canadian going to school in the US and i have met a lot of decent people. Each country has its assholes...i guess maybe the US has more then others....

See thats the problem with guys you always believe what the media tells you. Chinas policy has always been to take back Taiwan and by force if necceasary. Don;t tell how it is when you are in Australia and you read something from the paper. My girlfriend hasd family in China and I hear about stories of the Army coming into Viallages and beating people for speaking out against the government for basic health supplies. The Chinse Govt. has many problems you are going to take what the preseident says for work. They are almost as bad as the American govt. And what does it have to do with america?>????? Do you read my friend? IT was the American Govt who told Taiwan that they should be buying more missles because they have intelligence that China is aiming more and mor missles at the island.
