I was on my Football Forum that i go on when i came across this message, Now i know this Forum is not like this at all but it is the genrol feeling from most other forums i go to. It read as follows : -

Ive just been booted off a site ive been memeber of for 2 years. the membership is mainly American. Aparently my behaviour yesterday in chat room was inappropriate. only converstation i had last night was about hollywood History, I was asking if the rehtoric comming out of hollywood was true that Americans wouldnt see a film that didnt have Americans portrayed as th heros, thats why we see many historical films showing American soldiers winning the day when infact it was British or other nations, or even worse certain films about other theatres of war where americans never even trod.

I did get quite a bit of flack from most people in room for this, and im like WTF, dont you lot realize that there is a world other than USA?

Well if i dont get reinstated and an apology then quite frankly im going to join most over non Americans and think all americans are retards who are too stuck up thier own arses.

over past year i have also noticed how touchy and paranoid Americans have become, its ok for a huge room of Americans to argue all night long about politics and is bush evil or good, but as soon as a non US person makes a comment like , McDonald and Burger King are shit, then they think you are anti - American and you are declaring war on them.

certainly the flack ive encounteed suggests that more Americans are being sucked into the rehtoric of USA v rest of world . what you think?

So how do you lot feel about this sort of thing??

i'm amerikan and i see amerikans as pig headed, greedy, arrogant, and paranoid.
those who will not see that in themselves are the ones who don't read history in an openminded way, find the real history that isn't taught in a false way. analyze our society for what it really is.

Americans are many things. One thing that is common to most Americans is patriotism. Unfortunately some Americans believe patriotism is believing America is the biggest, baddest, most powerfull and most deserving nation on earth.

Understand that at this point in history America is very devided. Half of us believe that America is on the wrong path and not dealing fairly with the rest of the world. The other half believes that America is on the right path and it doesn't matter how we deal with the rest of the world.

We are like siblings. Fighting amoungst ourselfs, but if someone from the outside attacks one of us we all band together to fight them off.

aww come on ivan, you know that stereotyping americans is just as bad as stereotyping mexicans, koreans or jews. and do you realize that you just called yourself pig headed, greedy, arrogant and paranoid, since you, too are an "amerikan?"

however, i do think that English Pride has a point. there are a good amount of americans who are a bit touchy about foreigners nowadays. there seems to be a general atmosphere of zenophobia and tension, probably due to the war and our terrible image in the eyes of the rest of the world. i guess there are some people who take criticism of any aspect of their country extremely personally, and somehow end up trying to represent thier whole nation when talking to a foreigner.

however i agree with echo when she says that america is extremely divided. a good chunk of the country would probably agree with you when you say that burger king and mcdonalds are shit and american war movies are biased towards americans. the other chunk would probably punch you in the nose. however, no american's opinion is no more "truly american" than any other american's opinion.

and also, can i have the address of that forum you were kicked off of so i can see for myself what those people said? and maybe yell at them a bit if they're really as stupid as they sound? ; )

i find myself to be a very bad amerikan. i hate amerikas paranoia, greediness, ect.. i believe we should eat the rich.
i find nothing wrong with foreigners. shit everybody's a pilgrim. the only people who have full right are the first ones. i find it extremely hypocritical when so many people are screaming about immigrants, as long as they are not white. they don't get too bent out of shape when they are white.
i find it odd that bush won with only 52%? of the vote. amerika is very polarized. and that bush's first election was so questionable. if this was the ukraine.........?
screw amerika. when amerika gets itself nuked it'll deserve it. but i believe the more rational parts of the world should start looking at amerika like a spoiled little child having a temper tantrum. trying to spank it's ass won't work ,or help, just stay away from it and don't give it anymore toys.

sometimes the american liberals can only cope with being an american by feeling as guilty as possible, and if you do no feel guilty for living here and reaping the rewards of living here you must be pig headed, greedy and arrogant

English pride,

Well gee, let's see, you question if americans are pigheaded then you go and spout off about America being a "shit place to live" and then you wonder why you get kicked off discussion boards. I really hope you aren't sitting their wondering why you got kicked off the discusion board.


As for you Ivan, if you don't like "amerika" you can always leave. Hell, I'll buy the plane ticket.


It's also funny how in just about any discussion, George Bush seems to crop up sometime, somewhere. One of these days, I'm going to post about a possum getting ran over by a car and see how long it'll take before echo or freethinker starts blaming George Bush and Haliburton for the possum's death. Geez, guys, give it a rest.

The possum was an innocent life that was taken away, just like when George Bush murders innocent children so that Halliburton can reap in more profits and the American corporate machine can continue its reign of terror!

Yes jester, we should have done what France did in regards to Iraq. Get a sweet oil deal in exchange for weapons and money and let Saddam do the murdering of innocent people. Would that have made you feel better?

Sorry, but unlike you, I don't like the idea of buying comfort at the expense of others. The Iraqis and the Aghanis now have the option of choosing their own furture, and it will be worth the cost to those "innocent children" and their children, and their chidlren's children, dammit.

Loki - K as in amerikkkan. Theres a bunch of spoiled bigot fucks that live here. Minor example, most of them think Jesus was white.

Our textbooks make Amerikkka look like a saint. I was never even taught about Jap internment camps in high school.

Now again this is stereotyping. There are planty of people here who are very smart, accepting and quite nice.

And its not that the bigots are all complete assholes to. Its only when you disagree with them that the violent idiocy is let loose.

Amerikkkans, or at least the loudest ones these days, are fightened little children. They would rather have others think for them. They think they are entitled to whatever they want. They think murdering people solves problems. And most of the are either too fucking stupid or too unwilling to think to protect themselves. A lot of them think the news, politicians and business are truthful.

egotistical self deluded spoiled brats. You know the asshole son of the rich guy that lives up the street, thats the dominant voice in Amerikkka.

I really don't know what schoolbooks other's have read, but mine did talk about the Japenese internment camps, slaves, the taking of land from the indians, the worker's strikes in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The stuff I didn't learn, and others haven't learned it, was that slavery was universal and it was the white Europeans who put a stop to it. There were Germans and Italians who were placed in internment camps in the Second World War, and the Japenese made a sport of beheading innocent chinese civilians in Nangking when they invaded china. So much for America being evil.


Far from being frightened little children, America is confident of her role in the world. The freedoms we take for granted here, should be available to all. Which is why we are spreading freedom to Aghanistan and Iraq.

The freedoms granted in our two countries should be available for all, if they choose to have them. We should not go around forcing our gov't sytle on others, just because we feel we have an obligation to do so because we feel the ppl should be free. Also, just because the style we got works here doesn't mean it will work there. By implimenting our style of gov't, we may actually cause more harm. If they request freedom, give it to them, if they don't then don't meddle in their affairs. If genocide is occuring, then let the UN or peace-keeping forces enter the country and put a stop to it. Again, we have no right to force our style of gov't onto other ppl. It would be the same as 1600's christians forcing their beliefs onto the natives, because they thought the natives would be better off with christianity. I'm not trying to provoke anyone into a fight or to call me names, let's just keep it polite.

if they choose to have them? are you saying that the people who lived under saddam or in N Korea choose to live under oppresive murderous regimes? many have chosen to be free and have been killed for that choice. Just because some Iraqis aer wiling to blow up their countrymen to get us out of there doesnt mean that all iraqs choose totalitarian rule. i

I think liberals dont quite understand what despotism is. people living under dictators cant just one day decide to live in a democracy. its a common theme among the left. " they dont want democracy or they would have already had it", it really shows a sever lacking in the understanding of reality. I think these leftists are so certain that living free lives is just the way it is and always be that they think everybody cand just do whatever they want. the iraqis could not "choose" to do anyhting und Hussein, understand? now they can. yet you decide to continue to side with the saddam loyalists and al qeada in your belief that all iraqis do not want to be free.

My parents lived 40 years in a dictatorship. Do you think they chose it? I find your comment it insulting and cinic.

My parents were regular middle class people who didn't want to have another civil war in Spain and anyhow even with another war, the only parties willing to fight were the extremists. Looking at my country experience, the ones to fight for a change of regime are not the democratic parties (who prefer the dialog and negotation), but the ones wanting to get all the power on their hands regardless the people. And that's not the base for a democracy, that's the base for a dictatorship and it doesn't matter if it is a conservative or a comunist or a religious dictator, they are all the same.
In Spain, during the civil war, the few wanting a democracy were crashed by both parties (fascists and republicans) so in fact at that time we were condened to have a dictator.
And after the wars, it was not a favour for the Spanish people that nobody did anything effective against Franco, your answer I guess is that the Spanish people should have got rid of him but how with no international help? with another war? no thanks we already had our share of that.

For me it is just a matter of whether the human rights are universal (regardless culture, race, religion, country, political ideas...) or just for a few "advance" cultures in the developed countries.
I believe human rights are universal and as long as they are dictators (of any ideology) we should be ashamed of ourselves for letting those people down. Nobody (except the few being or profiting from having the power) chooses to be in a dictatorship, it is always imposed.

At least Guerilla gives America and Americans some credit. And his comment about the "asshole son of the rich guy up the street" being the voice of America seems to ring true in certain areas.

It was me that suggested that Ivan get out of the country. I've had the same reasons you have. If you don't like our country, then no one is making you stay, get out.

propping up dictators worldwide I thnk this is one of the main points against the "spread of democracy" BS. Bush loves pro-US dictators. The US will always do whatever is in the 'elites' best interests whether or not its in the best interests of the people here or in other countries.

Guerilla,

Lesson in realpolitik. The U.S. has no permanent friends or enemies. It only has interests, and the U.S. acts in such a way to protect its interests.

What does this mean? It means that from time to time, America will ally itself with a dictator or thug or some sort of low character if it has to in order to defeat a greater evil. The best example is the U.S. allying itself with the Soviet Union during the Second World to defeat someone who was a worse threat. In this case, the Nazis. We have done this all through the latter half of the Twentieth century. The U.S. allied itself with the Fundamentalist Islamists in Afghanistan in the 80s to ward off a greater threat, which was the spread of Communism. Then we overthrew the Taliban. The U.S. allied itself with a brutal, but secular Saddam in order to fight a greater evil, which was a Fundamentalist Iran. Then we overthrew Saddam. Ditto with the Marcos regime in the Philipines.

The interests and policies being enforced right now by President Bush dictate the spread of democracies in as many places as possible on the theory that Democracies do not fight one another. Hence our actions in Aghanistan and Iraq, and in the Ukraine for that matter. Being a bit of an idealist, I happen to agree with Bush's policies and would love to see everyone in the entire world having the same rights, freedoms, dignities and protections that we take for granted here in the U.S.


So, to answer your question, yes, the U.S. did and still does support pro-U.S. dictators, but the reasons for doing so are often complicated.

What you are saying in mostly true but please could you explain to me why America also gave Iran weapons and surport, What exactly was the reasoning for this?? I'm confused as to what interest they could of been protecting with these actions!!!!!!

All America did by doing this was turn a big war into a massive one and increased the amount killed by thousands. Causing more damage to people's lives, But ohhh no no no, America can do no wrong in your eyes!!!! Apprently this is America just protecting there intersts and ummmmmm oh yeah freeedom or somthing??

I notice how you managed to post all that crap but not one defense of your country's actions and not one reply to any of the points I made????

Well done,

I think you need to look at yourself and your life before you go round judging people on there's, But I suppose you did use a lot of long words and sentences in the hope that I and everyone else would think, Ohhh vile you are one smart Mother Fucker. Well the second bit is right but you aint smart your just a small meaningless prick who spends the vast majority of his time going on chat rooms and forums because of the lack of real life you have.

Once again, this breaks into the "lesser of two evils" argument, and the Iranian Shah was a better form of government than the radicals that were pursuing complete control. They were extremist, totally dictatorial Muslims who wouldn't tow the line and wouldn't be sympathetic to our needs and whims - therefore; we backed the side we thought was a better bet. Simply put, it's the way our two respective governments have always done business, and always will.

Oh, and btw, congratulations - you "won" the argument.

They were extremist, totally dictatorial Muslims who wouldn't tow the line and wouldn't be sympathetic to our needs and whims - therefore; we backed the side we thought was a better bet. Simply put, it's the way our two respective governments have always done business, and always will.

Oh, and btw, congratulations - you "won" the argument.

Again you seem to be missing the point????

You arse fucking cock knibbleing tosspot!!!

The USA sold weapons to IRAQ and IRAN thus not helping either side but really just making the war bigger, more powerful and causing more innocent people to die.

SO for the last time captain America!!!! Why in your opinion did America do this????

MY god you really are a prick, you almost make it worth my while coming over to america to give u a slap!!

Yeah, and we sold them those weapons at different times, so if you're referring to making the current conflict more difficult to manage, then you have a really skewed perspective of historical fact. Iraq, as it was once known, now ceases to exist, and the mainstay in Iran uses Russian artillery. Sitting here arguing specific facts with a dilettante of your nature is the furthest thing in my mind from being productive. To put it simply, you, sir, are an idiot, and not worth my time.

*sighs*

I really try and steer away from this, but your "haughty little bitches" comment is aimed squarly at the UK and by that means, at Me.

Im going to hold fire on my comments and read into the American Revolution and see why it was the British were defeated. If it is indeed through force of might by America and no outside help was recruited to aid in such, then fair enough in that one instance you did do as you said.

As for you personally being able to beat Steve down, i honestly doubt that would happen and without getting graphic the sorts of things that would happen to you wouldnt be pretty. Think Football Hooligan Thug Brutality, Football gangs etc.

Like i said ill get back to you about the War, and i dont take kindly to being called a Haughty little Bitch.

Firstly, It was not sold at different times at all it was during there war and America kept it secret from Iraq that they had sold weapons to Iran. In fact they tried to keep it secret from the whole world. Why would they be so secretive about something if it was not out of order.

Secondly, Ohhhhhhhhhhhh I wish I wish I wish I could meet you face to face you sad little prick. Do you honestly expect me to believe that someone who spends as much time as you on the internet, and someone who speaks and insults people in the way you do could do me any harm what so ever. The fact you used the phrase 'Bring it on' Say everything I need to know about u. Your nothing but a sad little prick who can mouth off but face to face you would run like a pussy or shit yourself, Or in your case both at the same time!!!! Your a faggot and Face to Face, Man on Man I would take your Fucking Head off, But I'm sure your reply with some witty remark asking if I like hospital food or something, Cos your just that damn funny!!!!!!

And Finally, we came over once before and you did what??????? Correct me if i am wrong but I seem to believe us ruling your country and making you what you are today, Then you tried to get rid of us and couldn't so you asked for help from France and the pair of you only just beat us so get your facts right you fuckin Yank Twat!!!!

Right the way i see this is in accordance with -

February 6, 1778 - American and French representatives sign two treaties in Paris: a Treaty of Amity and Commerce and a Treaty of Alliance. France now officially recognizes the United States and will soon become the major supplier of military supplies to Washington's army. Both countries pledge to fight until American independence is won, with neither country concluding any truce with Britain without the other's consent, and guarantee each other's possessions in America against all other powers.

The American struggle for independence is thus enlarged and will soon become a world war. After British vessels fire on French ships, the two nations declare war. Spain will enter in 1779 as an ally of France. The following year, Britain will declare war on the Dutch who have been engaging in profitable trade with the French and Americans. In addition to the war in America, the British will have to fight in the Mediterranean, Africa, India, the West Indies, and on the high seas. All the while facing possible invasion of England itself by the French.

We pretty much took on the world, had to keep a watch out for invasion by the french AND had to keep fighting the war in America. Now not being funny but were a tiny little island so to be fair that was a pretty hardcore mission and if nothing else had been happening and it was simply a case of America fighting England with no interested from any other country we would have won that hands down.

This has been interesting though and allowed me to learn alot more about a subject i had only breifly touched upon. Point of note, The Battle of Saratoga. You had 20,000 troops total, we had about 8000. We lost 1000 men, you lost a little under 500. So in reality they say that was a great victory it was pretty even and since it was over 2 men to 1 in your favour i dont think we did too badly.

May 12, 1780 - The worst American defeat of the Revolutionary War occurs as the British capture Charleston and its 5400-man garrison (the entire southern American Army) along with four ships and a military arsenal. British losses are only 225.

Very interesting stuff! and makes me wonder if your history classes are actually better than ours. Imagine sitting there listening to Victorian Plagues etc, it gets boring quickly.

As for the haughty bitch comment, it was simply meant to piss him off, not you. I think you already know how I feel about England, and short of that, I have very little to say regarding the matter.

Look, the burden of proof lies of you, sir. You say we sold them both weapons, and I agree - but you claim we sold them at the same time, and I don't buy it. If you're so fucking sure of yourself, then provide an unbiased, non-partisan link showing that the US government did, in fact, sell weapons to both governments simultaneously. Good luck.

I believe that you'll find your assertion is preposterous when you do a little research and are given a little time to think about just how weak and unfounded your question actually is.

There's nothing to shed light on. Loki's post was accurate, and 228 + years ago we were a newly founded, whored out colony - just like one of many Britain graciously fucked out of their independence and freedom by enslaving from the get go. In truth, your knob-gobbling, elitist government had no problem taxing the shit out of us without providing any representation, whatsoever. In other words, you thought we'd accept the status quo without manipulating every advantage we could to defeat you: enter the French and Spanish. In short, we were out gunned, out numbered, under trained, and under funded. With the selective help of other forces, we kicked your asses, and if you ask yourself why - it was because you guys treated us like shit. Many colonists wanted to stay loyal to you, but when you collectively gave us the finger, you paid for it.

And

http://www.dkosopedia.com/index.php/Iran-Iraq_War

Pretty much tells the whole story!!! Very Shady doings by America!!

I thought this was nice,

The United States engaged in a series of naval battles with Iranian forces in 1987 and 1988. The U.S. cruiser USS Vincennes (July 3, 1988) shot down Iran Air Flight 655 with the loss of all 290 passengers and crew, including women and children. Some analysts interpreted this as a very severe warning to end the war, as it no longer benefited the U.S. government. The American Government said that the airliner had been mistaken for an Iranian F-14 Tomcat which had been in the same general area as the civilain plane shortly beforehand.

But if you read on it does state that America sold weapons to Iran Secretly and then went on help and aid Iraq.

Proves my point!!!

What I don't understand is how this kid can have a problem with our government, and blanketly love his. I mean, for Christ's sake, we operate in virtually the same exact fashion. As for the argument about selling weapons at the same time, and I quote from his source, "Iraq's army was primarily armed with weaponry it had purchased from the Soviet Union and her satellites in the preceding decade. During the war, it purchased more equipment from the Soviets and their allies, as well as from China, France, Egypt, maybe Germany, and other sources (including European facilities for making and/or enhancing chemical weapons). Much of Iraq's financial backing came from other Arab states, notably oil-rich Kuwait and Saudi Arabia." I'll admit that we did have weapons dealings, but they were inconsequential when viewed as percentage of their total stockpile.

This brings me back to my original question, and that was simply, what was his point?

My parents lived 40 years in a dictatorship. Do you think they chose it? I find your comment it insulting and cinic.

My parents were regular middle class people who didn't want to have another civil war in Spain and anyhow even with another war, the only parties willing to fight were the extremists. Looking at my country experience, the ones to fight for a change of regime are not the democratic parties (who prefer the dialog and negotation), but the ones wanting to get all the power on their hands regardless the people. And that's not the base for a democracy, that's the base for a dictatorship and it doesn't matter if it is a conservative or a comunist or a religious dictator, they are all the same.
In Spain, during the civil war, the few wanting a democracy were crashed by both parties (fascists and republicans) so in fact at that time we were condened to have a dictator.
And after the wars, it was not a favour for the Spanish people that nobody did anything effective against Franco, your answer I guess is that the Spanish people should have got rid of him but how with no international help? with another war? no thanks we already had our share of that.

For me it is just a matter of whether the human rights are universal (regardless culture, race, religion, country, political ideas...) or just for a few "advance" cultures in the developed countries.
I believe human rights are universal and as long as they are dictators (of any ideology) we should be ashamed of ourselves for letting those people down. Nobody (except the few being or profiting from having the power) chooses to be in a dictatorship, it is always imposed.

Sorry i didn't reply earlier teddy and sorry for offending you. What i was trying to say was that if they want freedom, then some will have to show the world that they want to be free. But as you said, it is sometimes difficult to overthrow a brutal regime without international help, and those who do fight back may not fight for freedom; simply another form of brutal regime gov't. Sorry for offending you teddy.

Very interesting stuff! and makes me wonder if your history classes are actually better than ours. Imagine sitting there listening to Victorian Plagues etc, it gets boring quickly.

Nice to see the entire 8 year war cut and pasted into a few paragraphs with much slant...oh, if only my own history class had been this simple.......

When I read this thread, I didn't know whether to laugh or throw up.

I am sick of the non-stop America bashing. I wonder if I'm the only one here tired of same.

Yeah, we have problems. Who doesn't?

But this other crap and pigslop is going beyond the pale.

Note to the English:

You lost. Doesn't matter how many battles you won. You lost the war. The stuck up prig
"Lord" Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown. He waved the white flag. But he was too good to surrender in person. He sent his aid over.

Such graciousness.

That was 224 years ago. Time to move on. You lost. Get over it.

In reply to the original topic, my personal experience is that America has a very diverse population make-up in terms of just about everything concerning the people's principles--political beliefs, religious beliefs, ethical views, cultural background...etc. On the other hand, when you are online, as time goes on the population make-up on forum sites gradually develop an identify, where most of the participants have certain things in common. Incompatible newcomers will at the same time afont its existing members and find themselves distate the site's population make-up. On allforums, I think the population make-up is one which has diversity in opinions, but where most participants are intelligent and open-minded.

To try and judge the ignorance in a whole country's population is ignorance itself. In my opinion: Every country has ignorant people...

Bush is ignorant and we have little power over what he does till his term is over......So if you choose to hate, hate the people you know...dont hate someone you know little about.

Corey, you should know that we welcome new members. We have a diverse mix here and there's definately room for you here. It does help enormously if you were to learn newsgroup etiquette before you begin posting in confrontational ways. Nobody here hates you. We just want to see you do well, ok? :)
