1. I see alot of role play involving nuclear war, mishaps, meltdowns, etc. Do most of you think about that alot? I never give it a thought.

2. Why all the comparisons between america and europe? wouldn't a country to country comparison be more apropriate, like america compared to germany?

3. Did many of you hate america 5 years ago, or is this a recent turn of events?

4. Does a millionaire in Germany get the same health care as a brick layer or can the millionaire buy better?

I'm gonna stop there since any more would move this into another europe vs. america thread.

I'm staying away from Europe Vs. America threads. It's idiotic to think that the EU is anything close to the states.

For one thing, the states are actually united. Not bound by some men in suits shaking hands.

1. Most of the RPers are crazy. It's safer here in General.

2. Ask one of the thread starters.

3. I don't think there are a lot of people who hate America, however, the people who are accusing people of hating America are the ones who allegedly hated America 5 years ago when there was a different regime in power.

4. Uh...ask a German...

It's good to worry about our health and the health of the planet. But I don't see that many posts about this stuff on this board myself.

Nationsalism is a disease. Humanism is the cure.


3. Did many of you hate america 5 years ago, or is this a recent turn of events?

I never hated America, but I have really disliked the President since he got voted into office by the Supreme Court. I have also long disliked many of Americas foreign policies.

4. Does a millionaire in Germany get the same health care as a brick layer or can the millionaire buy better?

I have no clue.

Dont forget Canada Vs. America. Canada is neat.

Personally speaking, I have never been a friend of the American government - I protested the first Gulf War, and the second - but to the people of the US in general I have no hostility.

actually i think you've misunderstood. it's not hate. it's called disagreement. it's perfectly alright to disagree with others.
*pats HIMARS shoulder*

even with your friends.

I don't exactly hate America...I like alot about the place and the people, its just the political/military side of things I don't like...but that can be said about the UK too...and many other countries.
