Time to comment on that site...

Forgive me for being such an ignorant American, but by 'hystery' does this guy mean histeria, history, or something completely different?

If it's censored, why can I go to a "USA Haters Homepage?"

Since, according to the last poll here, everyone on allegro.cc uses a PC, I think we should be angry about the first part of this one.

I can only hope he's kidding on this one. Yes, Europe is in the center, according to eurocentricists. Hypocrite.

I only see 54, 55 counting the map.:-/

As for the rest, it's either true or too stupid and trivial for me to bother with.

This is exactly why communism would never work in a country like the USA? Your government just tells you to be happy with what you have and you don't complain!

If you really think that it was America that won the war the you really are stupid.

Actually no, most people are not satisfied with what they have, I'm a social work major computer science minor, and health care is a big issue in the control and theres a big debate about the cost and how much control government should have, and no most people are not satisfied based on the stats.

And what nieghborhood do you live in?
I'm not going to portray American as all bein fulled with hate but there are many that because of the 9/11 tragedy hate muslims and being in college we have lots of debates and people express their views. Don't forget all the underground hate groups in this country. Like the KKK which is still alive and well, just i think what a month ago a Black dude was dragged to death with the rope around his neck till he died somewhere down in the south.

So oh yea people here still hate, maybe the reason it isn't evident to you is cause your not the person they hate.

Actually no, in America everyone so it seems is trying to achieve the American dream, never being satisfied with what you had and always coveting what your neighorhood has, and getting the most recently advertised car, appliances, house, etc.

But overall Yea we here in America do lots of things that well I dont agree with, but no countries perfect. We have lots of freedoms which few countries get. And unlike some countries we don't treat women with such great disrespect. And though there is a class system (which many fail to realize) its easier to move up and down this ladder than compared to other countries.

Yea so to the guy who made that webpage, yea American isn' perfect , but named any country that doesn't have its list of flaws, you could named any country and tons of people would say things aobut it that they hate.

All we can do is strive to be more humane with our relationship with other countries, but I can tell in the near future, that other countries are going to see us (America) as a threat because of our military aggression, and they are going to unite aganist us.

Whats this dudes smoking?
Our music is universal, formed from various cultures and listened to all around the world, not to be brag or anything but most of the big music stars around the world, I would guess made it big in America

No, no, I didn't mean the input of America was useless and I didn't mean to enter into a conversation about which country made the most significant input - the fact is the Allies won that war, not the Americans, not the British, not the Russians, not the Indians (i.e. from India), not anyone in particular.

Oh god, please don't get them started. This country (the UK) is virtually in terminal decline thanks to small minded backward looking people who do things like attach particular significant to football matches with Argentina and Germany principly because of war related histories, and say stupid things like "no to the euro, because we've only ever had trouble from europe - what about those Nazis and the periods for which Spain and Portugal were dictatorships, and what about De Gaulle? WHAT ABOUT DE GAULLE?". But at least he'll always have Paris!

And if you didn't get it for the first time, start over and read again until you get it.

Of cource there were other countrys that fought Germany. But What I was saying is If it not been for the US getting involved when they did Germany would have won. That doesn't mean we beat them alone, You moron. Also Russia is garbage. THe people are poor and stupid as theyhave always been. Does anyone remember that Russia signed a treaty with Germany. a treaty Hitler broke. All the russians did was run from Hitler. they would have taken care of those morrons It was the supprise attack that got him. The Russians were just destroying useful shit of theirs and running that was there tactics. Or do you idiot commys read different history books.

"They say those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Sadly this was a lesson the people of Russia had to learn all over again - at the pain of equally devastating starvation and penury - in our own century. By the 1980s, when the discredited and bloodstained rulers of Russia finally threw up their hands and allowed farmers to raise private crops and sell them for profit on a mere 10 percent of their lands, once again more crops were produced on that 10 percent of the land than on the 90 percent devoted to "collective agriculture," the system under which - as the bitter Russian joke would have it - "We pretend to work, and they pretend to pay us."

"I wonder why some of the so-called guardians of freedom are so anxious to register guns and so reluctant to register Communists."

It's not "free", it's publically funded. You still end up pay for it, though indirectly. You also pay a lot less than you think.

I'm gonna have to agree with this one...

I get most of that free through my health plan at work. Pays for 100% of dental bills, free glasses, all that stuff. Plus compensation for losing eyes or thumbs or major limbs since most of the equipment here have some nasty blades on them (they ain't called arm saws for nuthin'). I can't go hog wild and get 100 free glasses, but I have a pretty high limit.

Ha ha. Ha. I find that quite amusing - have you seen a U.S. election recently?

Well, I know US elections are a little screwed up.. cuz didn't Al Gore actually win by vote count?

Mind you, I don't pay attention much to the US politics other than what I see on TV..

but, my point was sorta that the people DO elect the president/etc (in SOME form )... and the people that are elected represent the people of the country for the rest of the world.... that and the media, of course... but I think it's safe to say they're the same thing, in the end...pretty much..

I live somewhat close to detroit michigan (closest 'big' city in the US to me) and I get the detroit news on TV It's rather sickening to watch. Seriously. They have silly 3D animations for something serious, and use humorous phrases where humor is not appropriate. One specific report was about a kid getting beat by his parents. The news guy was saying things like "We've got a case of a bad report card.".. cuz I guess his parent's weren't happy about his report card or something.. but then a 3D report card with D's on it fly's onto the screen and a pencil falls onto it..

....wtf? Who the hell's idea was it to throw that in? I started chuckling cuz I figured it was a joke. Then they started talking about the beating and what not.. so I was forced to change the channel. Am I the only one that finds that.. sorta.. uhh.. messed up?

The whole attack on america thing was a little messed up too imo tho I guess. There was no need to show the planes going into the towers over, and over, and over, and over. No need at all. It gives me the feeling that americans like to watch that sorta stuff.. that they're violet people..

Then there was america strikes back.. thank god that didn't last as long as the attack on america news casts.. I didn't really understand why the public had to know what kind of weapons were being used.. as if anyone knows or cares about the Z952 K7 Tactic Model Covert Missile, with Plutonium Warheads
I also couldn't figure out why they were using nuclear submarines to attack southern afghanastan FROM northern afghanastan.. but, uhh, I guess that's their money to play with

Anyhoo.. I do hope this is the last thread like this

Veering slightly off topic, I found an interesting 'timeline of democracy' at http://www.fordemocracy.net/timeline.shtml. Some key dates :

--
16th-13th C, B.C.E : The ten commandments are revealed to Moses on Mt. Sinai. They establish the Judeo-Christian ethic as the critical foundation of modern democratic thought

1517 : Martin Luther, German scholar, publishes 95 theses, launching the Reformation in Europe

1619 : First representative colonial assembly in America held at Jamestown, VA, under Governor Sir George Yeardley

1628 : The Petition of Right provides freedom of speech and bans cruel or unusual punishment, further strengthening Parliament in England

1690 : English philosopher John Locke argues in his book, Two Treatises, that the government's job under the "social contract" is to protect "natural rights", including what he calls "the right to life, liberty, and the ownership of property"

1776 : The United States declares independence

1787 : The American Constitution and Bill of Rights are established

The original U.S. Constitution permits the states to allow only white male property owners to vote or to hold an elected office. This is not changed until the 1820s.

Slavery is not abolished in the U.S. until the 13th Amendment to the constitution made slavery illegal in 1865

The 14th Amendment (1868) states that all citizens of the US have equal protection under the laws. The 15th (1870) gives the right to vote to all male citizens

The 19th Amendment (1920) gives all women the right to vote, 131 years after the U.S. Constitution is written

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 makes any discrimination on the basis of "race, religion, national origin, sex, or physical handicaps" illegal

The 26th Amendment (1971) gives anyone over 18 the right to vote

1789 : The French "Declaration of the Rights of Man" assert that people have the right to "liberty, property, security, and resistance to oppression"

The new French government bans slavery in all territory under French control

1893 : New Zealand becomes the first nation to fully establish a system of universal suffrage

So, there we have it. Democracy is a jewish/christian/muslim idea, politically helped forwards by events in Germany, experimented with by a British colony and then brought closer to a real implementation by non-colonial Brits, eventually adopted and improved by the USA and France both at pretty much the same time, and implemented fully for the first time in New Zealand - the only proper pre-20th century democracy.

Haven't we all learnt a lot?

So are they, like, invading your privacy by recording what you do in public, or something? Or just taking away people's God-given right to collectivly coat the street with 2 inches of chocolate bar wrappers? Welcome back, Sp0on
