I think people that say we could have just killed everyone in Baghdad and taken their resources just proves that the US is a dangerous country. Basically if your goverment did that you would be OK with it. So now Genocide is fine...still wonder why Iran might think having nukes is smart??????? The best thing for America is for them to hand over their banking and media institutions to "other" people so that the people in the US can heal and be less medieval...if they don't agree then I agree with this thread they should be taken out seeing that the rest of the world doesn't want to be like them or be controlled by them, it's simple. It's the US or a better world. I also think Academia has failed in the US as have many other institutions, same criticism goes for the UK a complete change or the end, there is no other solution the brainwashing is too deeply entrenched and it has created a large group of people that are naturally hostile to everything and everyone else.

i dont think that we should be attacked i just think that we ourselves as americans should start fresh by wipeing the government clean and starting over they say there should be a revolution every 100 years to start fresh!!!!

the "we" i was referring to was the "we" i inferred in the post being replied to. that is the united states of america or whatever you want to call the nation takes up that spot on your particular map

If by 'dangerous' you mean 'having the most powerful military in the world' then I would have to agree with you.

No one said that. No one. Except you.

Uh huh. Ok. Gosh, that is simple.

You have convinced me.

as have many other institutions, same criticism goes for the UK a complete change or the end, there is no other solution the brainwashing is too deeply entrenched and it has created a large group of people that are naturally hostile to everything and everyone else.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I do not think that pointing out flaws by one's government is hating your country. Rather, it it shows that you are able to think for yourself and use your own judgement.

I do not always like policies that my government implements but I love my country (Australia). For example, I have son in he Australian Army but I would be very disappointed to see him go to war to fight for freedom so that some of the some of the arseholes (government and corporate parasites) in my country and for that matter the US, can continue breathing. I do not like that Australia has backed the US in this bogus WOT. I do NOT hold the American people responsbile for that, nor do I despise them. By not showing support on this issue I guess I am UNpatriotic. I still love the land I was born in, just do not like the lunatics running the show.

I am often quite UNpatriotic but then Australians are not as rabid about patriotism, we are not educated to swear allegiance to the flag and say a pledge at school everyday. Áusssies are that laid back that I think we do not eve think about how patriotic or unpatriotic we are.


just my 2 cents worth.

In the space of this single thread, I have learned why things must be done the way that they are done. For the first time in my life, I am beginning to understand what I used to consider hopeless naivety on the part of my grandparents' generation.

Good grief.

This post and posts like these are pretty much asking the government to investigate ATS. I myself do not agree with what is going on in America these days, to say the least, but I know better not to attempt a violent revolution against the Government and or America. I may be labeled as a terrorist and sent away to a secret prison and tortured. F*** that. Such a revolution would also invite FEMA to step in.

nice, you are learning the great art of "Throatyogurty" or bacteriavoidance. you get kind of snarky with someone, then when asked how your horse got so high...just meander onto something else. bravo.

thank you for an actual answer to a question i asked. i think you are the first person on ATS to do that. oh master, please pass on your ways.

truly sorry for the excessive quoting but i feel it is fairly obvious who the two above posts are meant to. My appologies to anyone and everyone for violating the board.
