What country are you from?

You mean like raping, killing and stealing from every red person we saw when we got here? How bout the biological warfare with the smallpox blankets?
Or shipping over millions of black people to force them in to slave labor? Then "freeing" them but continuing to deny their rights and status?
Or nuking two cities in Japan full of civilians off the face of the Earth?
Or invading and occupying nations with little or no provocation? Shock and awe? If I were you I'd be more upset with those Americans occupying Iraq as with the ones "Occupying" Wall Street.
This land is your land, this land is my land! This land was made for you and me!

While my view of another country can never be perfect it is a lot better then you would imagine. I am just as interested in America as I am my own country, because in reality they are two peas in a pod.

OK thanks that helps me put into perspective. The US is different in many ways than probably presented by the media. Anyhow in the states I have met many visitors from the UK, but never from Australia.

Uh oh, looks like we have a fresh man in college history major here, and he is a little up set.
I like the optimism but no ones going to fight. That's a fact.
Even if some did fight, it would be crushed.
Freedom is dead. Resistance is futile, technology has made that a certainty.

The US was created because people had no choice but to revolt against the government that was enslaving them.
