^ what it is. It survived so much. Civil war, slavery, ww1,the depression, ww2, vietnam, cold war and the bush era just recently. And an election soon where they will have the weatern worlds 1st black president. |
What a ridiculous statement. Most of the world went through the depression, ww2, and the cold war (which Viet Nam was part of, and the Americans lost). The Bush era (well, the second half) was a result of this so called "great democracy". A lot of countries have gone through civil war, and survived. And, really, what difference does the colour of the skin make to the effectiveness of a person's ability to be president. Not to mention the fact that he hasn't even won it yet, so that's not even certain. |
Did you see what happened in Europe. Countries were turning Facist in the Depression because of the political situation which the US tried to help the rest of the world while dealing with their own stuff at home. After world war 2 countries were turning communist under the iron curtain. American Civil war was a remarkable story of such a huge countries became unifyed after such a horrible war. As for Obama, the rest of the world would be to racist even think of having a black president, even through all the tension between blacks and whites. Obama grew up in the hood where the most anyone could even think of becoming was drug dealer or in jail. The USA helped defeat the Germans in the WEST while the russians won it in the EAST. It gives out so much foreign aid, hell im happy the US is in Iraq, saddam was an asshole anyways, atleast the US tried to do something. look noe in burma see how much aid the USA is giving the. do u relize the Most of the UN's funds come from America. all anyone else want to do is bash America, for what trying to make the world a better place, the USA is the leader in disaseter responce teams across the world and after the world takes americas food, warm blankets, it's back to bush is an asshole talk, no blood for oil bullshit, Saddam is out of power and now islamic fundamentalsit came into iraq after USA invaded making iraq the place it is today. so i blame the fundamentalist (who are fake muslims in the 1st place) in iraq for iraqs situation. blood for oil -then why isnt the oil getting cheeper in America if America was taking all of iraqs oil. Who fuked up africa, the europeans, who fuked up asia europeans, One mistake in Iraq and then its like USA is the worst country ever, and seem to forget all the shit they pulled. wow that was way off topic |
You do realise other countries like for example CHINA, have become unified after massive wars that make the US civil war look like a skirmish? The rest of the world would be too racist to think of having a black president? You do realise other countries do have.... Not that i'm saying all the aid after world war two wasn't a good thing... but you do realise America did most of it for not too overly noble reasons? Not saying other countries wouldn't. The UK government also does things similar. But don't try and make out that it was some glorious gift the US handed out because it loved the world. Oh yes... who created the US? For the most part I blame europeans!!! |
Is China a democracy? Name a country outside of Africa with a black leader with a population of over 100,000. hell even 10, 000 Who was going to help he world if America didn't give a shit. No one because the world was so fuked after the depression and ww2 that they could afford to give help and every country has its motives and intrests. hell it was the europeans who raped and killed the the natives in the name of their countries in order to colonize and rape the land of its rich l resorces. Name a country were free speech is cherished so much? I'm not Flag humper or anything, I am a Canadian but i just kinda get pissed off when America is being made fun of for no perticlular reason. people take the US for granted, but when a country gets invaded, when the US isn't doing it whos help do they look for. When a tsumani of earthquake happens they look for the US for aid, but until then it is all death to America and look at those facist pigs or look at the hypocrits. Look at france and the rest of mainland europe they get their asses saved twice and its all hate over their. |
Well if you exclude the countries in Africa.... Which I have to say seems a touch unfair. I shall go for a few black prime ministers since their function in government is essentially that of an American president.. Bahamas, Barbados, Jamaica... Would you consider people from India and Pakistan to be black? Several countries have had female presidents/prime ministers.... Don't recall ever saying China was a democracy. How about England? Spain? So whenever the native Americans were being killed it was Europeans... but whenever they start doing good things these Europeans suddently become Americans? Handy that isn't it? Free speech? The U.K., Ireland, The Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, France.... The list goes on really. We just don't rant and rave about it because we expect it. Whenever these things happen they look to the U.N. for help. You talk like America won the first and second world war on its own. I'm not saying any other country is innocent of everything they ever did. I'm just saying that America is not some sort of shining beacon of greatness for the rest of the world to look to. Take things into perspective a bit. It's just another country that does good and bad. |
