I like how it's only white europeans who say America is racist, when they throw bananas at black soccer players.

Stupid question: How are bananas considered racist to black soccer players?

monkeys.



But yah what Cpt Backslap said. I've been called a ni88er while in europe.
..and I'm not even black. heeheh.. eurotrash: racist and confused



Aussies are pretty bad at it too. Same with the nips. Just from personal experience I'd have to say the USA has less racism that euro, aus, and japan. 'course all that is just my attempt at over generalizing about millions of people

Yeah. I also wish there were "America Does the wrong things for the Right reasons" and a "America is good but president Bush is retarded" options.

This is a silly skewed poll. I guess I'll vote "America is right"

I can't answer the poll, because the right answer isn't an option.

America is a great, but imperfect country.

I love posts like this, and hate them, because the reek of immense radicalism that can be both laughable and highly annoying... 910,000 civilians killed? Give me a break.

Dropping nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Are you serious? Are you honestly going to bring up the end of World War II to justify a point that the United States is "Pure evil" when in all reality we were fighting a nation that was occupying and subjugating a vast portion of Asia. I don't necessarily condone or condemn the decision to bomb the two cities, but your opinion reflects so much mindless radicalism. From where I'm standing, you're simply one of those people who drones on about how bad something was without knowing the facts behind it... The United States military didn't know what they had there. A lot of people say they didn't know the true potential of the atomic bomb, even after the Trinity test. So to insinuate that an entire nation is "evil" based on the negligence of a few is a grossly close minded thing to do.

The United States didn't invent slavery. We simply carried on what was seen as common. I'm not supporting slavery, but to say that the United States is evil because of that is stupidity. Slavery is surely evil, not the United States.

Evil is a relative, opinionated term. Sure, the United States does some pretty bad things. We've had negligent, incompetent, selfish leaders... But to brand the entire nation evil is just ridiculous.

Evil is dropping nuclear bombs on TWO (not ONE) BUT TWO Japanese cities in WW2 and frying innocent civilians - men, women, disabled, children the elderly - ALL INCINERATED.

For that the USA must answer to GOD

And since then the USA is responsible for over 12.3 million deaths as a driect result of its military forces attacking other countries.

For that the USA must answer to GOD

Seeing as God put us in those positions in the first place, I'd say He has some serious explaining to do Himself.
