Pay the U.S. off for what?? If anyone has to start with that nonsense we wouldn't have time for the present. Everyone owes everyone and everyone has
had shady dealings with everyone.
If Europe has to pay back the U.S. for helping to liberate them from the war, they would have to pay Russia even more. The U.S. and Europe would have
to pay Russia for their businessmen financing the Bolshevik revolution and thus introducing state communism to the world.
The U.S. would have to pay Europe for it's businessmen having corporate dealings and financing the Nazi's during WWII.
Russia paying eastern Europe for occupying the area for decades.
The U.S. paying Iran for sponsoring an illegal coup in 1953.
The U.S. paying Guatemala for the coup in 1954.
The U.S. paying Ecuador and Panama for murdering their presidents around 1980.
England paying South Africa for being a main force in introducing Apartheid in order to have a diamond trade.
The U.S. paying Japan for annihilating hundreds of thousands by being the only country to use atomic weapons on humans.
Europe and the U.S. paying all descendants of Africans in America (I mean the CONTINENT America) for centuries of slavery.
The U.S. and Europe paying Native Americans for mass genocide and theft of land.
African countries (such as Rwanda) paying itself for genocide and corruption. Israel for illegally invading and occupying land and for willingly
attacking the U.S.S. Liberty.
Iraq, Iran, China, Afghanistan, Vietnam, North Korea etc... Every country who has done some other country or population wrong. We would never stop
with repaying if we even started that.
And besides... We have to realize that almost all of these I mentioned above is because of some people and their corporations desire for profit at any
cos, and their manipulation of the above mentioned countries and populations for their own personal benefit. It's people, not countries.
I repeat. Who has to go is not the USA or any other countries, but certain people in power who have practically everyone fooled into taking sides
either for the U.S.A or Europe or Israel or the Middle East countries or whatever.
USA must go!, page 13

Streetcorner.... you know how most people in politics feel about alien agendas, don't you? Naughty naughty! That's a sore subject!
Speaking of which, I think the man is right. All this insanity just doesn't seem humane... therefore it may prove to be truly inhuman in the most literal sense of the word.
But for future reference, just as a constructive criticism, you may wanna like...ease into the subject of alien agendas a little more gradually. Most people just aren't ready to accept something so beyond their paradigm.
You hit the nail on the head, though, truly honestly. Will I ruin my reputation for saying that? Oh well. It's been said.

There are actually quite a few folks, probably about half, who still recall having to do constant bomb drills in school, and they recall the period very vividly when everyone was looking south at Cuba.And those of us who are younger have heard the stories. In fact, those are the ones who are making the decisions.

Now I believe you're starting to get it. The countries of all these anti-US posters have been causing way more blood to be shed for profit, greed, etc. for a much longer period of time than the U.S. So, by definition, what they are saying is nothing but total hypocrisy.
As a previous poster said, if it's - as you say - all about the money, simply pay the U.S. off and you can have your "peace".
Of course, I never thought it was all about the money ...
While we are at it, why don't we and the UK folks all go on a field trip to the Jamaica on their dime since they rule them. And we can go visit all the native peoples there who, right at this moment, are living in extreme poverty. Most are worse off then Iraqis, who many still at least own homes. And we can ask the natives how they like living in hovels built out of debris they collected from the beach. How they like their children going to three-walled schools with dirt floors. With sick and diseases animals roaming all over the place. While they see all the rich, huge, and glorious homes on the hilltops looming over them. Yet there are these big new beautiful churches everywhere.
I made the mistake of going to the Caribbean on my honeymoon, to spend the time depressed over the living conditions. I had no idea.And I will never go back.
And for what? So the UK can keep the natives oppressed so they have lavish vacation?
Eurpean history can be described as savage at best. Yes, we are here because of the British. Because the British invaded America.
Look at your own activities before pointing fingers. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Are you not at the breaking point of riots for long term oppression of people of middle eastern decent in your own country?
Are not the middle eastern people in your country threatening to rise up against the oppressions of the government on them. From years of keeping them in poverty and jobless. Raiding homes illegally though claiming to be a free state for all.
Sound familiar?
Is that just it? We are a reflection of yourselves. And you don't like what you see in the mirror, and like a caged parakeet, you attack the reflection in the glass.
You say we are bullies and shouldn't prevent Iran from having weapons. But because of of the years of oppression on the Muslim people in your countries, Britain and other European parties are a big hit list for Iran. And President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said so. Not to mention he said he will invade Israel.
For all your hypocrisy, we are not coming on here and de-flaming you. And becoming turncoats at the first mistake because you don't like the reflection of yourselves.
Normally would I care? No. But I am feeling a little sensitive right now.But my grandfather died recently. A man who volunteered the entire length of WWII to keep you from German occupation. Who spent the rest of his life partially deaf from the noise and gunfire on the battlefields. For a people to turn on us at the first sign of trouble, who have created their very own troubles that are the same.
And we will let Iran have their weapons, and when they turn on you, we will see who you are crying for. So our people can go over and defend you again.

Topic: "The Americans"
The United States dollar took another pounding on German, French and British exchanges this morning, hitting the lowest point ever known in West Germany. It has declined there by 41% since 1971 and this Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least-appreciated people in all the earth. As long as sixty years ago, when I first started to read newspapers, I read of floods on the Yellow River and the Yangtze. Who rushed in with men and money to help? The Americans did. They have helped control floods on the Nile, the Amazon, the Ganges and the Niger. Today, the rich bottom land of the Mississippi is under water and no foreign land has sent a dollar to help. Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy, were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of those countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States. When the franc was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it. When distant cities are hit by earthquakes, it is the United States that hurries into help... Managua Nicaragua is one of the most recent examples. So far this spring, 59 American communities have been flattened by tornadoes. Nobody has helped. The Marshall Plan .. the Truman Policy .. all pumped billions upon billions of dollars into discouraged countries. Now, newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent war-mongering Americans. I'd like to see one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplanes. Come on... let's hear it! Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tristar or the Douglas 107? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all international lines except Russia fly American planes? Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or women on the moon? You talk about Japanese technocracy and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy and you get automobiles. You talk about American technocracy and you find men on the moon, not once, but several times ... and safely home again. You talk about scandals and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everyone to look at. Even the draft dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are here on our streets, most of them ... unless they are breaking Canadian laws .. are getting American dollars from Ma and Pa at home to spend here. When the Americans get out of this bind ... as they will... who could blame them if they said 'the hell with the rest of the world'. Let someone else buy the Israel bonds, Let someone else build or repair foreign dams or design foreign buildings that won't shake apart in earthquakes. When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both are still broke. I can name to you 5,000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake. Our neighbors have faced it alone and I am one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them kicked around.

The first time I heard that, it brought a tear to my eye and still does because it is a reminder that the U.S. in her ups and downs has been and always be selfless no matter what the rest of the world thinks or feels. The rest of the world may just see an "ugly America" and still our doors are always open to those in need.

Well we in Aruba can be grateful that we have it very good here. Although several corporate interests are attempting to do the same to us what they did in other countries.

Can you tell me when exactly Iran threatened any European country? And when he said he will invade Israel? The "wiped off the map" was a mistranslation.
Normally would I care? No. But I am feeling a little sensitive right now.But my grandfather died recently. A man who volunteered the entire length of WWII to keep you from German occupation.

Your grandfather was probably a noble man, and he helped do a great deed. The sad part is that the allied soldiers didn't know that their own people did shady dealings with the Nazi's. IBM doing business with the Nazi's during the war. Ford supplying automobiles to Germany (same link). Paul Warburg's corporate bank financing Hitler (see Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler , Prescott Bush (grandfather of the current president) doing business with the Nazi's. No, they didn't create their own troubles. Their troubles were created by a wealthy elite.
