like i said, if there were a better place in this world you wouldnt be here right now.
That is an arguable statement, for I am a product of America, as were my parents, their parents, and so forth...all the way back to the people who were brought from africa, or were already here and escaped the slaughter by land hungry whitemen..

i dont argue americas disgusting past. i never have or will. but i dont live in that past. a lot of you do.
Why not discuss the past, when everything from the past is relevent to the present, and the future?

LOL, you think this is the ONLY free country? I love how you put up america and then act as if our only other option is Iraq. And your assuming I don't like this system... rofl, I like the system, I just think things need to to be tweaked to better the country. As far as "if there were a better place you'd be there" thats not necisarily true. First of all it costs money, you'd be leaving family and friends, you might run into a language barrier, you'll have to deal with a foriegn invironment etc.... I'd rather stick here and try to make what we got better. And again you assume that I agree with everything "liberal" when i've posted in many topics supporting gun rights...

See this whole "we're better!!!" shit is what pisses off other people in other countries and is why there is a lot of "anti-americans" in other countries. Its stupid people that will condem france for being "anti-american" but be blatantly "anti-french" and not even think thats a problem. Should french care if their anti-american if americans don't care that their anti-french? I don't think so...

BTW...
it took america 500 years to do what no other country has been able to in thousands and thousands.
UUUHHHHH, so England never did what we've done? Egypt never did what we've done? Rome never did what we've done? Superpowers come and go. There were superpowers before us, their will be superpowers after us........

20sixx said 120 years of technology. why wasnt that technology discovered before. is it possible that the freedom america provided paved the way for this??? is it just possible?
it is because in our free-market economy people compete for everything, and that in turn inspires people to work harder and discover more things to become sucessful. which means we as a country pushed harder than any other country so even though we got a late start we caught up and passed the rest.

sidenote: now if minorities could only do the same in America they could be equal or even surpass the sucess of "white" americans.

the past reflects on today , finding a 100 or even 80 % native is hard , what this country did to the natives and the american clavery killed buffalo so they would starve , people forced off the land to oaklahoma to live in "indain territorry" , women and children killed. all becuz of "manifest destiny" alcohol introduced to the native made him voilent bringing alcoholism to many nations and tribes. people forced to move to land change there ways of life. america's forgotten genocide

Formaldehyde Rx said it best, 120yrs of technology.

Keep in mind the opression of the people, rape, murder, assassinations, over throwing governments.

After wwII the world was devestated. America was one of the FEW pieces of land that was not a war field....Let me put it this way, if it was not for HITLER, amerikkka would not be the powerful nation we are today.
What makes that different than any other Goverment?
From the Assurrian,Persian, Roman, European? Any other Great goverment?

All goverments are the same. Regardless as you want to see them.
