I was expecting liberal propaganda and flames not this 0-0
Well what are liberals supposed to say? America sucks? It has had a republican president for FOUR WHOLE YEARS and that ruins it? The country's good, the troops need our support even if their reason for being there isn't the best. Good principals, good country in general.
One of the deepest reasons for the many countries' distaste in the U.S. happens to be how fickle the country is. No other power to date has had a political situation that allowed so many dissagreeing political motives to trade off control of government policy. This is an issue to be addressed: The public doesnt have the patience to wait if they dont see immediate results and are allowed to change their mind every four years. It makes for irritated and oft-confused neighbors.

Anyway, to post on topic, I think most Americans who don't support the President still love the U.S. It's quite possible to be a patriot and still disagree vehemently with current policy. In fact, in my mind, a true patriot wants what's best for the nation, even if that means criticizing the way things are done. Anyone who feels that one has to blindly follow in order to love one's country has a very immature concept of "patriotism", in my opinion.

I don't think there is anything wrong with loving your country, even America.
I do think there is something wrong when you are arrogant enough to believe that your country is better than every single other country, and when you believe that your country is perfect in every way, and you love your country for that.
Oh, and if you believe that the Vietnam war was never lost (Technically, you never lost it because a war was never declared, but you know what I mean).
I do think that it is possible to hate the war in Iraq and/or your POTUS but still love America.

I love America because it is the only nation in the history of the world founded on an idea: freedom. We've fought for freedom many times, and are doing so now in Iraq and Afganistan. Bush has the balls to do what he thinks is right to keep America safe, despite what the weenies at the UN have to say. Perhaps the terrorists will learn to stick to attacking Germany, France, and Spain (now that the socialists are in control).

Countries that do not shove their superior military into everyone elses faces, their nuclear capabilities, their economies (if they have a good one like China), the size of their population, the size of their countries.

Hailing from a convict colony as I do (which for anyone that didn't read my previous post is Australia) I think we shouldn't hold the sins of the past against America. Besides, I think all countries have shady pasts if you look back far enough (possibly not Canada though, but maybe they do and I just don't know about it - did they do the slave thing?).

Well hey geuss what technically right now their is still illegal slave across the whole planet so yes Canada had a slave thing, But never was it legal due to the British colony thing. As for a shady past well civil war in the early bits is a little shady in my eyes. Having a war with the U.S. wasn't fun either, stats of the war 1812: 5,000 dead on U.S. side, 6,000 dead on British/Canada, and 16,000 dead Natives, this number was close to 20% of the left overs after disease like Small Pox got to them.

Nope, we're not clean either. We decimated the aborigines :mp5: (them's the locals they is) and even had a revolution. That's right, a bunch of convicts led a revolution... possibly about votes for everyone rather than just land owning white guys (but then again possibly just about freedom). Don't hear about our revolution much though, cause the convicts got their arses kicked :mp5: (and there were only 200 of them or something). Later we honoured them by including their rebelious flag in ours (the constellation on the aussie flag is the flag of the convict rebels), since their rebellion was just... whatever it is they were rebelling about.

Its good you love your country as long as that doesnt cloud your judgement over critising your leaders it seems as though there is an atmosphere in America and i might be wrong in saying this to critisise your leaders decisions is undemocratic.
As opionated and perhaps wrong in certain cases Michael Moore is a good example i have heard him called a communist akin to Lenin Also i have often hear people say how he hates America. From an independent perspective think both of these are blatently wrong especially the first one. He might be trying to invoke his vision on your country but by doing so he is using his free speech that we cherish so much. Its common sense to know your country does wrong as all countries do. If he is campaigning for a fairer and just society then that should not be denounced as unpatriotic.

Stopping a whole airport due to 2 men wow, so free. A large airport in Pitsburg. At least the freedom
to stop an airport exists now.
So how much more do you want me to dish out i'll give you much crap because i've grown up know odd facts like that. And if you give it to those who may not want it well thay'll give it back man! Anyways the thing is the U.S. is actually only considered the most powerful nation on earth due to it's money, well guess what a good 1% of it is from the Middle-East so think of that Dude! 1% if you think about is actually huge.
The thing is that we'll in truth your country is a weakling like all countries are it's just better at hiding it than most are. Population is the thing you must think of really China 1.2 billion, India a little behind. But that is not the big ones, The whole of Africa is above 3 Billion so they may be at war with themselfs for the most part but the area the most power.
The country with the actual most power right now is china sorry to say. Now that a Canadian has said stuff try to read it all the facts are true just like yours, but think of the numbers 20% of a people dead in 4 years of war. HMMM... i wonder about that why so big.
Well it was probabally because if the war would have gone as it should have for the Brits. and not ended as a stalemate the U.S. wouldn't exist at bthis moment and a True Native American country would be in existence instead. So think about it.!!!!!!!!!

Tricoza, my angry misguided friend.
That airport was shut down, and rightly it should've been. On 9/11 we saw what 'a couple of guys' could do. Your argument here is stupid and ridiculous.
Furthermore, lets talk about power shall we. I've already had this debate with people just slightly smarter then you, but what the fuck why not do it again.
The only real power in the world is military and economic. The amount of power you have is only effective in the manner in which you project it.
In the economic sense China weilds tremendous amounts of power. They manufacture toy cars and computer parts, something every nation needs. However, when it comes to military might China is sadly lacking.
You can have the largest standing army in the world but that isn't going to mean one thing if you cannot project your force. China cannot project its force worth a damn.
Its airforce is no match for the current US air defense and its Navy isn't even worth mentioning. Yes it has a massive standing army, but a standing army is useless, in 1991 Iraq had the third largest army in the world, seasoned by ten years of conflict with Iran. They lost, horribly, because they were outclassed, just like China's billion man army would be outclassed by the American military.
You're argument doesn't make much sense. China and America have a symbiotic trade agreement, but the US can live without China, not so much vice versa. In a military slugfest, the US wins, hands down, you're a friggin moron and oblivious to the facts to think otherwise.
So lets see, economically the US is stronger then China and militarily the US is stronger then China..
Clearly China is a more powerful nation.
Good job, go eat so more paint chips.

even the "nicest" countries have skeletons in their closets.... the problem is that they think it's right at the time....

Tricoza,
I was just stating that Micheal Moore is a lying sack of shit. Not that he should have his ability to speak revoked.
I hate what he says. But god knows I'll give my life to make sure his fat ass can keep on lying in the freeworld. Shit, if you're an American I'd also die to insure your mentally stunted and incompetent ass can keep being stupid online.
Thats America. Hating with a passion what you're neighbor has to say. But being willing to lay down your life to defend his right to say it.

Mackistahn : I still think Moore rocks. but I say go ahead and hold him up to the light, I'd be interested to know his flaws (besides the making money thing - how dare he make money).
Tricozia : I'd like to say that was a very good argument, but I can't. Your grammer is so bad, I couldn't understand what you said. All I managed to get from all that was "US sucks".
Damnit, can everyone stop flaming America? Auzzies love the underdog and you guys are making America the underdog... starting to feel... compassion... NOOOOOO!!!!!!..........

You're argument doesn't make much sense. China and America have a symbiotic trade agreement, but the US can live without China, not so much vice versa.
While the US may be stronger economi9cally and militarily, you'd be a fool to think that the US can really live without China. The two countries are relying for each other to a great degree, and the US would be fool-hardy to try and walk away from that.

Mackhistan(I think I spelled that right): If we're talking about the superior quality of armed forces, Australia would probably kick America's arse any day. That is, if our defence force wasn't so laughably miniscule...
Oh, and the above comment was not meant as a slur on America in general or the American people...I just happen to think that Australia's troops are generally better trained and, to a certain extent, more technologically intelligent than America's. Pardon my patriotism, it doesn't happen often.

I don't think you are taking into account all the investments on the dollar the Chinese government has made. Suffice it to say that the Chinese government could send the US into a serious recession, if not outright depression, at the cost of its own economy as well. And both nations could find other trading partners, but they would both suffer for a lnog period of time. At this moment in history, the two have become too intertwined for any attempted separation to go over well for either.

Sparrow: When it comes to quality of armed forces, pound for pound, the Israeli Defence Force can probably kick the shit out anyone in the world.
Fortunately, numbers do factor in, thats why the US military would be so retardedly hard to combat that its not worth thinking about, which when coupled with NATO becomes even larger... Going toe to toe with the US is like crashing a car into Gibraltor, it might be an amazingly made car, but sometimes a whole lot of mountain can overcome anything...

I'm sure no other country in the world has ever killed innocent people.
Britain has killed and still does kill hundred of thousands of Irishman. Lets all hate Britain.
And yeah, I guess I am just an ignorant American.
Odd that the ignorant American has a wider and more open world view then most of his critics.
UK has never killed anything close to that amount. AND WE ARE NOT STILL KILLING IRISH.
The difference is, english, french, german, japanese, say... yes we did do this. In the US (as alot see it) its: Yes we're still doing it!!!

That airport was shut down, and rightly it should've been. On 9/11 we saw what 'a couple of guys' could do. Your argument here is stupid and ridiculous.
Oh so that explains why on flights leaving the US people have managed to smuggle such things as bullets into the UK by keeping them in their pockets!

Yes auzzie troops rock.
I have no idea about anyone else's army, but I have a friend in the Australian defence force.
There was this one joint training operation between whatever our best is called and US Navy seals, and the Auzzies finished the mission before the Seals managed to get past the waves to the beach (love that Auzzie surf). And apparently joint opperations are scary because the fatality rate in US operations is so much higher :mp5: (teehee, can anyone else tell I only just discovered this smiley)
And in regards to sleep, I laugh in the face of it. Why at this very moment (9:30pm) I'm working late to catch up and won't be home for... I should really go do that work shouldn't I?...
Goodnight all!

Of course, a quite wonderful side effect of all those Australian beaches is that the Auzzies still kick US arse when it's sexiness that matters... atleast we would if there were any girls in our army, but my army friend seems to indicate this is not the case.

Tricoza, my angry misguided friend.
That airport was shut down, and rightly it should've been. On 9/11 we saw what 'a couple of guys' could do. Your argument here is stupid and ridiculous.
Furthermore, lets talk about power shall we. I've already had this debate with people just slightly smarter then you, but what the fuck why not do it again.
The only real power in the world is military and economic. The amount of power you have is only effective in the manner in which you project it.
In the economic sense China weilds tremendous amounts of power. They manufacture toy cars and computer parts, something every nation needs. However, when it comes to military might China is sadly lacking.
You can have the largest standing army in the world but that isn't going to mean one thing if you cannot project your force. China cannot project its force worth a damn.
Its airforce is no match for the current US air defense and its Navy isn't even worth mentioning. Yes it has a massive standing army, but a standing army is useless, in 1991 Iraq had the third largest army in the world, seasoned by ten years of conflict with Iran. They lost, horribly, because they were outclassed, just like China's billion man army would be outclassed by the American military.
You're argument doesn't make much sense. China and America have a symbiotic trade agreement, but the US can live without China, not so much vice versa. In a military slugfest, the US wins, hands down, you're a friggin moron and oblivious to the facts to think otherwise.
So lets see, economically the US is stronger then China and militarily the US is stronger then China..
Clearly China is a more powerful nation.
Good job, go eat so more paint chips.
Well I find it interesting that you bring 9/11 up well that day definatly was a painfully excrusiating day in my life. Even as just a Canadian i got to feel heavy effects of it.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
Learn some goddamned grammar. Seriously, its getting ridiculous.
9/11.. You're talking about Air Ports being shut down for breaches of security.. Lets think about the last time something bad happened with airplanes in the US.. Think long and hard you stupid fuck.
hmmm
It'd be 9/11. Its because of 9/11 that we have seen such huge changes in airport security. It's because of the WTC Towers being destroyed that we will shutdown an ENTIRE airport to catch two people that ran past security.
Why? Because we already know what a couple guys can do when they hijack an airliner.

Mackistahn, actually their's been a few plane crashes, and one incedent in January of 2002, where a young pilet flew into a building in florida, but it was a small one person plane.. building was still there, just had an indent on where the plane hit.
Now, as far as military goes,
- not including size: Isrealis
- per capita: North Korea
- most kick ass nickname: Aussies (kiwis..common, that's awsome)
- overall: U.S.
- assuming the canadian military had equipment and enough people, they would be the best. or at least against the U.S. because in war games (where you agree to limit your size, although you keep your higher tech stuff) Canunks win every time.
Now, as far as Canada goes (my own country) their's a song that relates our relation with the U.S. It's done by the band Arrogant Worms and the lyrics go "it's not that we're better. It's just that we're less worse"
Also, as far as Bush goes.. i think he'll both lose and win again... he'll "win" the election.. but, once again.. have less votes. just like how he "won" last time, with more americans voting for the other guy. Although i will still hold out the shred of hope, that he will lose, even if it means everyone will have to put up with that douche-ball Kerry. if Kerry wins, he'll win because he can say "hey, at least i'm not W."

I bet you were thinking, stupid conservative nazi Bush supporter, because that's what it is to like America, to be a Nazi.
This is a trend I've noticed, if you like America you're obviously a Bush supporter who supports the war in Iraq. Tell me I'm wrong, because it seems to me, it's a sin to love America. And personally, that just makes me boil...
I'm not a Bush supporter or a Kerry supporter, so I'll hear from both sides.
I've never heard of a Nazi who supports bush. Maybe there are a few around, but I'd guess most nazis would think bush is just a tool of Israel, regarding the Iraq war and American middle-eastern policy in general. Actually, I'm a conservative and I think the same thing along with some liberals, btw. And I'd think most nazis would rather have Saddam as president of the US than Bush. There I'd have to disagree with the nazis ;)
