Jesus. Paranoia, heresay, rumors, suspicions, acting rebellious. The war in the Middle East is unjustified. It's been said enough. I just don't get it; do people want to hate America? The absurd sentiment here is just... I can't quite think of a word to describe it. Not stupid, but just a bit odd. There's just some sort of psychological urge provoking people into a fad, or going against the power. I haven't a clue. It's just odd.
Too many things have been listed to bother responding against, or at least that I have time for right now. But outside of ****ing up the whole ME foriegn affairs, america isn't a bad place. Yet... you hate America? When saying you hate America, or saying you believe America thinks it can control the world, or you think america are a bunch of greedy bastards brainwashing their people, are talking about all 250 million of us, or just assumptions about the national government? Quite honestly, this offends me. My friends and Ihave done nothing wrong to others. I have a responsible, law-abiding family. Yet the word "America" includes everybody; me, Oddguy, Searex, Mac, Morgo, big Dave, and... PA. Sort of. Not sure if that guy's mindset fits in anywhere. But have we done anything wrong? Have we gone around parading ourselves as world protectors? Are the editorials in the newspaper full of arrogant bastards saying we're right? Do the TV shows we watch every night go about telling us we're mighty? The term "America" is just being thrown around like a toy, something to put lal the blame on. But all you're really talking about is the current governments actions regarding the War on Terrorism and Iraq. Has anybody actually bothered to stop and think about that?
The Bush administration hasn't even done all that bad outside of foreign affairs. Our inflation is relatively low. Our unemployment rate is still a touch high, but it's no worse than it was years ago. Our economy is in dandy shape, our education ystem is still good. There are some specifics to be hammered out, but our standard of living is still one of the highest there is.
THE POINT IS: Do you all truly judge all of your answers on America based on slandering news, popular social opinion, and the war in Iraq? Or do you actually bother to look past the ideas that get thrown around regarding our government and take a look at the country? I dare somebody. Speak up and say that I am, or Mac is, or Oddguy, our parents, our teachers, the people that help us at Wal Mart. Say that we're a flawed, greedy people that is plotting against the world. It's ridiculous.
Trash foreign actions all you want. I'll agree with you as long as there's fact to back it up, and isn't some hole-filled speculation attempt. But where is the justification, where the hell is the justification, in echoing trash-talk about an entire country that clearly is a good place to live?
