lol

this proves my point...america is the easiest to discuss

its not that we are sensative..look at it this way..say u own a car..and every single day u read a bad review about ur car that u love and u know that its not a lamborgini but u like it..wouldnt that hurt u..when someone wines about something near and dear to u wouldnt u get upset? and u can only push a person soo far..

cause everyone in this forum loves to hit a kid when there down..thats cool...lets keep going..


in all honesty..america being the center of attention these days causes everyone to dispute only the wrong actions of the USA simply because its easier to talk about the bad and harder to talk about the good..you know kinda like "uh i wanna cut out of class, but if i stay maybe i'll learn something..nah lets cut out and be stupid"

so to answer your question..lets see your country become the center of attention mainly to be used as a target..

99.9% of all the "American/U.S." threads are made by non U.S. citizens....and for the most part all where started to stir up controversey...it is not us that keeps it going on TA.

I am just glad that i am **NOT** the only one defending the U.S. anymore.....i was, for a long time, in the the Chill Out Room trying to defend by myself, but i tend to come off rude, arrogant and/or ignorant since i lose my temper...nice to have you and Biz back to help with sound minds.....

I don't spend my time defending the USA and I'm not about to start!

WHY !?

cause you people won't back down

so what's the use I reply to your crap?

and anyhow I'm french, american and one day to be Swiss


uh

I think it's to complicated for some of you to understand that ones country's political point of view does not especially reflect the populations beliefs; and that criticism is an art which few can master. No country is white. All to blame, and America"s current position is due to years of pushing and teasing and harassing and non action by the rest of the world

Once again I do not support america's cause, just because actions are done in it's name. I support what I feel I want to support and if someone wants to call me a basher uh go ahead but I never bashed anyone and I feel the USA has the power to *change* the world, sadly enough they don't always do the job right.

Originally posted by ABTsportsline seriously, i dont know what the problem is with the Aussies hating us recently on these boards - i have met many an aussie troop overseas and they are class soldiers that back us 100% - met many an Aussie traveller in hostels in europe - all cool as hell. Whats with the uprising? as far as relating - if a SHITload of people started attacking Australia religiously on TA, are you telling me you would never stand up for your country?

well Howards head is so far up bushes ass, its hard to know where one begins and the other ends.

If a shitload of people attacked my country it doesnt mean i have to defend it, not if i know they are right, hell i bitch about australia even more, they call it the ability to think abjectiveley, I suggest some of you serously look into it.

and if someone bashed or bombed your country, youd stick up for your country as well as any other person would.

you also have the 'benefit' (not that i would call it that) of being supremely nationalistic in the European sense.

for instance, you already consider yourself swiss...how does that work exactly...

just wanting to live somewhere doesnt allow you to center your views there immediately. the US is different from Europe because all nationalities come together to associate with a NEW nationality, American, or whatever you want to call it.

your disenchantment with this country probably stems from your refusal to think beyond yourself.

i dont care whether you stay in the US, or do not. support any further actions, or not. all i can say is you would actually get the opportunity to do something, rather than just bitch (since you dont make a point beyond complaining), in the US.

and regardless of how 'great' Switzerland is, its not as open to individual change as the US...

the United States was built on people coming together to work for something better, not just whining about how they think they are some nationality they are not.

sorry...hopefully that isnt extremely personal. you just do not make a conclusive point at all|

You obviously don't know me and felt it best to reply off subject just to say I *replied*.
I was born in France, I'm french
my parents are american, I'm american
I've lived in Switzerland 5 years, that's half the years required for you to become Swiss.
I'll be swiss one day
