It is hard to take a country like America seriously when they....

..shoot one another at a Star Wars rate

.. vote for their own enslavement believing all the while that they are "free"

.. try with no success to inflict enslavement on other countries

.. canonise the rich

.. create second-class citizens of large chunks of their society - blacks, Hispanics and the poor

.. are so far in debt they are unlikely to be solvent for generations to come.

They are an example no other nation should follow. And,apart fron Great Britain, none do.

 

You'll take us seriously when we drop a bomb on you

 

I see you have confused my flag with Iraq's.

 

We have planes that can reach New Zealand.

 

Is there a faint chance you may stop rattling your dags and address the OP?

 

The OP is just a bunch of rambling. Nothing to address.

I think discussing the bombing of New Zealand is much more fun.

 

Perhaps you should consider that you have a bunch of marines here, supposedly "training", who might not appreciate friendly fire?

 

Really that is why you don't take America seriously?

You shouldn't take America seriously because we are liars, but you should fear us because we are prone to violence. We are also, arrogant and think all people shold do as we do. We tend not to follow treaties, but reserve the right to force others too through violence. We have for the most part claimed to be a country of freedom, but most didn't have any until very recently. America is propoganda and hype. America is like coke it is a slick Hollywood scham.

 

An eloquent testimony to the truth of the OP.

Given a choice, where would you emigrate to?

 

meh I always liked Canada so if I had to leave I would probably go there.

 

Comments from a person in New Zealand.

 

It wouldn't be New Zealand(thank God this s-h-i-thole of a country is 12,000 from civilization)

 

I find that while I share many of your concerns with the share many of your concerns with the state of America, I'm also totally fine with the idea of not being taken seriously. Maybe that just shows that we're turning into the British. There are worse fates. Our economy will dwindle a bit but our science-fiction will improve overall, and I think that's a pretty good trade-off.

 

Do you know what is hard to take serious? Your threads since basically all of them are "how America sucks". You could probably take all of your threads and most of them would look exactly alike in substance.

 

So don't take us seriously and don't follow us. Do whatever you want. We don't care.

 

friendly fire, another thing we excel at.

Every item on your list would be just as applicable to your native country, and to most the world over.

 

Me too. We should just turn off the billions in foreign aid we dish out each year and suggest other nations hit up Hugo Chavez for a hand out.​

 

I like foreign aid, I think it's a good strategy, but I'm open to the idea of delivering that aid along with pies to the face, while wearing over-sized shoes.

 

No one rattled your cage for your opinion on OUR country and we will be respectful enough not to tell you what to do nor not do with yours. But you can bugger-off any time you wish. We may argue with each other and be very firm in our committment(s) to our various causes, but attack our country and you will see us come together so fast your head will swim.Ask Germany, ask Japan...ask anyone who messes with us.

 

The above ^ is the most honest view i have read on this forum. Well done. And thanks for posting.

 

The last thing that could be said about the usa, that it is respectfull.

Americans are constantly berating and denouncing foriegn nations they don't understand then they turn furious when it happens to the usa.

Usa wants to think of itself as a nice sort but your actions are different.

 

the hypocrisy is hilarious.

 

We are respectful. We always rebuild countries we destroy.

 

We are respectful. We always rebuild countries we destroy.

 

*shrug* For the most part we only have opinions about nations we send foreign aid to. When your nation starts sending us checks, we'll be happy to consider your opinion.​
