US taught a lesson....will it ever learn from it?

Im not exactly sure how youve gained the opinion that im some kind of "propaganda expert" who thinks Americans are "weak-minded sheep", but its good to see your using your imagination in such an entertaining fashion for the rest of us. On the subject of propaganda however, i would have thought that bush's catch-phrase (sure to become his next election slogan) of "fighting for our freedom" was such a painfully obvious attempt to incite the patriotism necessary for a payback war (and its innocent casualties no doubt) - unless of course America has actually been invaded and enslaved by some sort of intergalatic race of muslim loving dark-jedi beings and ive failed to notice...

So glad I could provide you with amusement and more ammunition for rudeness thinly veiled with attempts at eloquence. I'll not bother with the likes of you anymore. I had a roommate once just like you - he actually got off on irritating people. He liked to see just how far he could push me before he would make me angry and I was very tolerant. After about 5 months of putting up with his inciteful barbs and requesting that he desist with such anti-social and counterproductive behavior, I packed his things, set them on the porch and changed the locks. I never lost my temper with him, I just refused to be in his company any further.

While you are fully entitled to your opinion, you continue to refuse to truly respond to most people here who disagree with you. You just seem to find it amusing that we are not so 'enlightened' as you since we don't see things your way. Oh well - your loss. I have better things to do with my time than to consort with trolls - no matter how well-spoken they seem to be.

Long post Silver Cheetah, so I won't quote it - but just to say it was really well put.

AboveTheRimYo - I agree with the vast majority of what you have said, but I have to say that I don't like the way you say it. Arrogance is never a good way to convince others, but then if you're that superior to everyone else, I guess you are just here to preach, rather than discuss. Please try to treat the people here with respect - even if they are wrong.

Eh... what is so stupid with this post? You know, most people look at america as a country full of stupid, arrogant, self-good people.
Are you going to be mad at me for thinking so? Well, perhaps you would think that it may be your country's own fault for giving me that attitude! I didn't one day said "Hmm, I would like to have something to disslike... yea, america is good!"

And for the aid that america sends... of course they send most in the world, they are the richest country in the world! It would have been strange if they would have been #2.
And to the bully-comparation... a bully can give his friends candy you know. And still bullie them.

And for Ahfganistan... no evidences that points out Usama Bin Laden as the WTC-destroyer have been published in media. Until the US-goverment makes those evidence official, they do not excist to me.

Don't give him, or me, shit for disliking your country, blame yourself and your goverment for giving us the view of you!

I have to comment on this too, since it is su stupid!

Why shouldn't a non-american judge americans? If there are someone who should judge you, it is us. It is the only logical.
If we are not allowed to do that, I say no other man than the swedish prime minister should be refree in soccer- and hockeygames with swedes involved.

You jumping on this particular bandwagon too, Memnoch? I am disappointed.

It seems to have become a trend here lately with certain people to dismiss my opinions as inflexible and thus not worth paying attention too.

First, the inflexible part is not true, at least certainly no more so than any number of people here. Second, I could claim the exact same thing about the people I have been debating with, with at least equal justification, but have not done so.

Oh, come on! Lighten up. I've got to have a little fun now and again. Y'all don't take a little pro-american jibe like that seriously do you? It's just a giggler.

If we are talking inflexible, Dio really is no more so than a whole lot of people posting on this board. If he had been toting FOR American military action in Afghanistan, no-one would have given a hoot.

For the most part, he has been courteous. If he has been less so lately, I for one would put the change down to the many taunts he has received on this board for his views. He has been called a lot of ugly names by those who hold different views, and I for one respect him for having dared, as an American, to voice a set of opinions that run counter to the popular thought.

Keep on trucking Dio!
