benny 0 #101 January 24, 2004 QuoteQuoteQuoteDo you hate Americans? he didnt say,he said it were a reason to why many people hate americans Personally, I don't care whether we are liked in other countries or not. It's their own insecurities about themselves that cause it IMO. We are the "big kid" on the block and some people can't handle that. If we were so bad, we wouldn't have an immigration problem. Have you ever been to the States? I seem to remember that someone once said "speak softly, and carry a big stick". Basically, be the "big kid" on the block, don't be an ass about it. Never go to a DZ strip show. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you ever been to the States? This is a very dangerous attitude to have. You don't care about what others think about you, you then do stuff with no disregard to this - and they strike back any way they can, with no reconciliation possible whatsoever. Prevention is better that repulsion by physical force. It has its limits. But, if you're a brute who care nothing of others and go arrogantly around in a bar, fights will naturally come your way. be more diplomatic and you'll have fewer fights - there will be some, but their numbers will be greatly reduced.

bobsled92 0 #105 January 24, 2004 as to the Islam thing being a kind faith. In it's self-yes. Muhamad was a Christian until his wife convinced him that his nightmares were of the devil and to abandon Christianity. ("WOMEN) One thing different: NO hip modern alterntive tunes in Islam like the new Christian Rock (eg Switchfoot,SuperCHicK,P.O.D.)_______________________________ If I could be a Super Hero, I chose to be: "GRANT-A-CLAUS". and work 365 days a Year. http://www.hangout.no/speednews/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
osuskydiver 0 #106 January 24, 2004 Quote Gulf War I and a couple of other things you mention were police actions brought about by the military actions of other nation-states. When i mentioned the 225 yrs of historical precedent, I was really just talking about times when we went to war in the absence of something to really draw us into it. What did Iraq do (differently) to "draw" us in to GWII? Police action or not we were/are still over there fighting. Does it really matter that much to you right now on why we are over in Iraq? Whats done is done.....so why don't you just support all of my friends over there right now and say a prayer for them every once in awhile to. I have not heard you ever talk about afghanistan, I take it that you are all for what we are doing over there? Also I have 4 friends still serving in Kosovo....why don;t you attack the reasons why we are over there? My point is you can not change the past so just show some support. By the time you read this you have already read it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faber 0 #107 January 24, 2004 Quote I don't care whether we are liked in other countries or not. which is the most common commet from americans(not all is like that).,personaly i think only i only think people that dont think far,thinks like that(are you one of thouse?it wasnt the impression i have got of you here,and i hope i getting it wrong) QuoteWe are the "big kid" on the block and some people can't handle that. All can handel that USA is the "big kid" or "world police" if you like,it would just be more tollerated if there were more ballance in things. QuoteIf we were so bad, we wouldn't have an immigration problem. All cuntryes that has monny has immigrats,its so simple. QuoteHave you ever been to the States? No not yet but i hope to visit you guys in this year Im a person that think that people should live as they like,if arabs likes to fight each other, then let them,if USA like to drive big cars then let them aslong that people tollerate each other it aint a problem,but as soon as people interfer it will give problems. to my eyes USA tryes so hard to be the best in evrything that many things never gets realized/made finnish before another project stands up.thats the big failur.. show us some stuff that has been finnished,before moving on to the next war.. Just my 0.2 i hope that i didnt step too many toes here,if so im sorry.I like US alot,but im pointing fingers at one big problem,which cause problems to US it self.

Iflyme 0 #109 January 25, 2004 How do you infer that from my post? I have many good friends who are Americans. I was in your country this past summer, and had a wonderful time, and met many wondeful people. But for some "jerk" to suggest Americans are better than people of other nationalities... I hate people with that sort of attitude. So yes, I do hate some Americans. I hate some of my own countrymen, too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
