I demand an explanation for this apparent social conservatism.


What to you defines how we're so conservative? If we were any more liberal we'd have twelve year olds shooting up heroine, is that what you want?


I can agree that the typical American is very ignorant, both about his history and the world's history. They're more concerned about the next top model then learning a different language so they can visit another country and see all the wonderful and sophisticated architecture...


However, as said; Europeons talk out their ass. We're just as socially liberal if not moreso then you. Considering you're a full blown socialism, and have no money to do (*)(*)(*)(*)....

The world needs more leaders who don't bend over backwards to the idiots the american people elect into the white house.
You admire Castro? His people can't wait for him to keel over. Remember the Mariel Boat Lift? The exodus was ended by mutual agreement between the Jimmy Carter and Fidel in October 1980. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 125,000 Cubans made it to Florida. No Americans went from the USA to Cuba. 27 died trying to get here in those boats. Fidel didn't have the balls to stand up to his own people and allowed them to leave. If he hadn't have put an end to that, there might not be any Cubans left for him to persecute.

And he didn't stand up to US...he and the Soviets backed down during Kennedy's blockade. We still have Guantanamo Bay as a base, and he has never had the balls to try to get us out.

If you don't like it, you can just git out!

This is obviously anti-american propaganda and we will not tolerate it. How dare you think that you can come in here and express your opinions, especially when they are so obviously wrong.

You're just jealous of our freedom.

Not knowing a foreign language will not stop an American from traveling to that country. It will only make us look down on them for not speaking the right language - English. Besides talking really slowly and loudly are just as good right?

I honestly dont have a problem with any of this...

I would hope that when he says he doesn't like America that what he really means is that he doesnt like our government.

I say that because ive traveled all over the world, I actually used to live in Ireland and I can say that people around the world are mostly the same....slight differences and beliefs of course but mostly the average person just wants to be happy and have a safe and peaceful life for them and their families.

Now obviously im American, but the things that Danish doesnt like about the U.S. are quite honestly the things I dont like about it either.

I dont like how religious we are....I feel it has hurt us as a nation. And while I dont necessarily think social conservatism is a "bad" thing, I DO think it limits ones individual freedom and I myself am very Socially Liberal.

There are things about Europe that I love more than the U.S. and quite honestly there are some things about EVERY European nation that are ridiculous.

I wont go so far as to say that I "hate" or "dislike" any of those nations though. There are a few places in Europe that IMO would be just as nice to live in as the U.S. but quite honestly I would prefer the U.S. over the majority of European nations I have ever been to.

In the 20 or so years before George Bush became president, there's been over 100 armed conflicts and wars around the world, are you telling me that he is the sole reason for that?

Besides the Iran and Iraq war, there are currently about 20 different armed conflicts and wars raging around the world, are you telling me that Bush is responsible for that too?

And you guys call US misinformed and uneducated!!! Give me a break!

Yeah I agree...

I think by now everyone knows I dont like Bush. But to blame him for ALL the worlds problems is quite frankly an ignorant way of thinking.

Blame him for Iraq because that was his big idea. Afghanistan was in response to US being attacked. I still support that war anyways so thats all im going to elaborate on that.

You certainly cant blame Bush for Jews, Christians and Muslims not getting along...Thats been going on long before this country was even discovered.

You can blame Bush for problems that we have here in the United States. I think thats more than fair, and its also more than fair of others to disagree. ANY president is going to have to deal with that though.

I think he has made some things worse around the globe with his stubborness. I think hostilities with Iran are totally unnecessary. However most of the problems that are a direct result of Bush policy are in the United States or in Iraq.

Do you know why the Cubans came over. Harsh economic conditions installed by the US blockade on Cuba. Also the Cuban Adjustment Act which allows Cuban refugees certain privileges that no other group enjoys, such as, automatic permanent residence status - all without review and without the usual waiting time.

Why is Castro responsible for people getting into overcrowded boats?

First Castro was criticized for not allowing his people to leave by the American people and government. Now you are criticizing him for allowing to let his people leave???

You are right. Not one Cuban supports Castro.

Excuse me? A nuclear war was almost started, if cooler heads didn't prevail I'm quite sure you wouldn't be talking right now.

You mean the illegal occupation of Guantanamo that Castro has yet to cash in one single check the US government sent. Castro was a smart man. He knew that attacking the Americans at Guantanamo would give reason for an all out attack against Cuba.
