I totally understand why some people are pissed at America, but that doesn't mean we are "evil scum". I was wondering if people could swallow their pride, and name at least one thing that they think is good about America? I'll start. Reasoning aside for the war in Iraq, I realize that innocent people have died, but if we wanted, this war could have been done months ago if we just lowered the bar on what we see as "acceptable" collateral damage. Our troops are dying so we can minimize civilian deaths.

LA Confidential came out the same year as Titanic, and in my not-so-humble opinion it was a far better film. Check out the following thread for some other good US films. Please note that while the majority of the films mentioned are American, many are not.

Joking is all good in some threads, but do you really have to insult someone in EVERY thread? Is it possible to have a thread where you either say something nice, or not post?

Reason being is that the radicals want their way or the highway. The world isn't black and white. Getting rid of radicals doesn't just leave centrists. It also leaves people like me who are on BOTH sides. Radicals beleive they are the only intelligent people. They beleive they are right, and everyone else is wrong. Radicals want to impose their ideas on everyone. Do I want them to leave? Maybe thats a bit harsh. But the radicals give fuel to the fires of political hatred. They are nothing but character assassins. They are closed minded. They are intolerable of others. They beleive they are superior. They don't like discourse. They don't want democracy, they want to impose their ideas on everyone. Maybe they shouldn't leave, but it scares me to see them taken so seriously!

America is good because they don't fucking keep you here when you want to leave. And because not all Congressmen are Neconservatives. And because Bush can only serve two terms.
...methinks you need to think about what we could do. During the breakup of the Soviet Union, it was common practice for the Russian military to lay down rolling artillery barrages along convoy routes through cities. They would pulverize everything along the convoy route to ensure the safety of their supplies. They still use that strategy in places like Chechnya. Ever hear of a city called Grozny? It's not such a great place any more after it was almost entirely leveled. US forces, on the other hand, give their convoys escorts instead of just bombing the hell out of the general area "just to make sure." We takes losses for it because we do our best to reduce collateral damage.
And, just so you know, it would be very easy to lower the bar. There's a fun tactic called firebombing. You think a restaurant's worth of deaths in one go are bad? What would happen if a city was burned?
Now, please either leave this thread or say something nice for once. The whole purpose of this topic is to avoid the omnipresent hating that has become so fashionable lately. And I, for one, would appreciate if you would give some thought to your arguments instead of (essentially) just saying "OMG America is eeevvvviiillllll!" It could be a whole lot worse.
Anyway, back to the original topic: I personally like our efforts to help get humanity off this dying chunk of rock we call a planet. If only we could clean up the space program's beaurocracy... </wishful thinking>

So, you're a Libertarian. Whether you're "right," or "left," depends on which you value as more important: economic policy or social policy.
No, I'm not a libertarian! They are "privitize everything" wackos! By the way, I scored 20 out of 160 on a Libertarian test I took. Not that it means that much, but its something. I said it once and I'll say it again! I AM ME !!!!!!
I AM NOT ANY OF THE FOLLOWING!!! Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Green Party, Communist, Anarchist....etc.etc.etc.

You can do the illegal things too as long as you don't get caught. ;)

Thanks, but it will just try labeling me, which was the reasoning for me going off the handle in the first place. I'm Me. :D
Me, Myself, and I.

They do make the best movies.
Yay for Hollywood! :)
You have to be joking. Most american movies suck (they seem to have a wierd problem of compulsory flag waving among many things). It's too bad Hollywood spouts out so many crap movies that they drown the world with them, making better movies from the rest of the world become almost invisible.
I'm not saying Hollywood doesn't get it right sometimes but an overwhelming amount of it's movies are bad.
First thing...its the government people dislike. Not every one in every country is nice.
I love America. I've only been there twice, but I had the most fantastic time. I can't wait until I am going to finish college and I'm moving to either D.C, Boston or New York.

Well, that applies to almost anything though. I doubt that a majority of any nation's movies are any good. And considering how many movies are made in Hollywood, it's to be expected that a lot of garbage will be made.

Because, like I've said before 90% of everything is shit. ;)

America has brought us Plastic,- for use from fake breasts to game consols to credit cards, fat free brownies. OH,... and Central Air conditioning. One of mans greatest accomplishments.
