Nationalism.

[wet1]

...Oh, the temper of the young and restless...Duh!

Because we do not enjoy seeing our loved ones and our countrymen die?

You prefer to see them dying in a "sacred" war? Of course! Why am I not surprised?

So, you would prefer that we stepped out of the Middle East and let the Isrealis and Pallies slaughter each other? You would prefer that we had let Miloslovich's genocide go unnoticed? Perhaps you would rather that we just bugger out of Afghanistan once our mission is completed?

As I said before: The U$ shouldn't mind so much in other countries businesses. Your Mission??? Is it your mission to kill women and children. "See the women and children bleed, it looks great on the TV..."

Damn right it does. I hope that your country is never attacked like ours was on September 11th. But if it is, I will never chide your attempts to cope, and your increased feelings of patriotism.

Oh yes, the Netherlands has been attacked! By several groups of humans who have hospitality in the Netherlands and demanded interference in their war in their home country, where they originally are coming from. They demanded that right by hi-jacking trains and killing people in the progress. They held people as hostages. It was solved by the military of the Netherlands. And keep in mind that this is just one example! The Netherlands is not such a nice country as is pictured on postcards.
By the way, what has "god bless america" to do with it? My goodness, you'd better change it in "money bless america'. however, guess it's one and the same in the U$, godbelieving, TV preachers and making money.

"Sell your soul for complete control. Is that really what you need?"

So the U$ is attacked in a very nasty way yes, on Sept. 11. It is not from that date, though that they are stirring in other countries affairs. You now have an excuse! Everything which happens, happens in the name of the "war on terrorism"! How convenient! Look a little further back in time please. (just a little! maybe you better wait til the red flag of anger has lifted from your eyes!)

And neither the verbal attacks of stupid twats nor the actual attacks of evil men will stop us. We will continue to live in freedom, democracy, and hopefully in peace. And very hopefully, we will be exporting these ideals more and more.

Freedom??? Democracy??? Peace??? Exporting these ideals???
Please... keep them! I can think of better ways to accomplish that then the U$ government is doing right now.

Which reveals your ignorence of even the rudiments of zoology. However, feel free to leave human society.

So be it! I don't take your view for truth, not even to speak of wisdom. Grow up and relax...

Aww, Banshee, there's really no reason to be jealous. The Netherlands are really nice. I'm sure that most Americans run rings around you physically and mentally, but at least your homeland is nice.

You prefer to see them dying in a "sacred" war? Of course! Why am I not surprised?

Where in the fuck did you get that idea, you insipid cow? The war in Afghanistan is "sacred"? Because we're fighting to prevent another 9/11? You're delusional.

Is it your mission to kill women and children. "See the women and children bleed, it looks great on the TV..."

Aww Banshee, you didn't have to tell everybody about our evil plans! Absolutly right, we intervened in Kosovo because we wanted to see the Kosovar Albanians killed.

You're one sick, hate-filled crystel-swinger.

By the way, what has "god bless america" to do with it? My goodness, you'd better change it in "money bless america'. however, guess it's one and the same in the U$, godbelieving, TV preachers and making money.

At least money exists, ja?

So the U$ is attacked in a very nasty way yes, on Sept. 11.

Ha ha ha! You may be familiar with faking other things, but faking sympathy is not your forte, bitch.

It is not from that date, though that they are stirring in other countries affairs. You now have an excuse! Everything which happens, happens in the name of the "war on terrorism"! How convenient! Look a little further back in time please. (just a little! maybe you better wait til the red flag of anger has lifted from your eyes!)

Yes, I know that. America has been involved in world affairs since the late 19th century.

Freedom??? Democracy??? Peace??? Exporting these ideals???
Please... keep them! I can think of better ways to accomplish that then the U$ government is doing right now.

Right - you'd give Usama a hug and some aromatheraputic candles - I'd gouge his eyes out.

Which one would do more good?

So be it! I don't take your view for truth, not even to speak of wisdom. Grow up and relax...

There is only one truth, and I do not have a monopoly on it. Go join the fucking troglodytes - you would fit right in.

Right there.

Xev, so to see exists your vocabulary for the biggest part from calling other people names. Not only here, in this thread, in several threads.

It's not a very good way to convince and/or communicate. It doesn't suite you.

Post smart please and leave people in their value.

Whatever their opinion may be, you don't know the slightest thing about others.

As far as the U$ mentality concerns, well, let's hope you are not the role model here...

Bye, bye sweetheart.

I love our country. It's a haven for lazy bums like me.

The 4 countries in the world I would like to live less. -> Russia, America, Belorussia(sp), China. The 4 countries I would like to live in most are: Spain, Brasil, Latvia, Tobago.

It's the greatest country in the world and everyone knows it.

DO I???

Avatar,

I'm well aware of the dislike, for lack of a better term, with the Russians that the Latvians have. Latvians make that very clear.

I've been to Riga, during the time of Soviet rule. Nice city. I agree that I would prefer to live in Riga over Moskva. However, 99.9% of the Latvians I met, women especially, could not wait to get to the US. In fact, marriage proposals with huge financial incentives were thrust upon the Q everywhere I went from every woman I met. The men kept asking me if I had any single sisters that were looking to get married. They did not mince their words.

I suspect you've never visited the US. Shall we have a wager that if and when you do visit, you'll more than likely stay?

That was during the souviet rule. Now we have a different situation here and we are not doing so bad. An European country, not the highest developed , but anyway I really and so are many of my friends enjoying life here.

I do not know the reasons tht would make me leave here. Well maybe for a year or five to Spain, but tht 's it. I'm a patriot of my country and its history as much as you are of yours and it is logical. I would like to live in US so much as would you like to leave all you have ang go to Latvia.

Ok, you caught me, I haven't been to the states, but I have met a hell LOT of Americans (real life) and have my impression. I have had the chance to meet with a very large range of nationalities. The worst impression I have gotten from Americans and Sweedish (sorry, but it was with me so).

Cheers, just don't come to war with terrorism over here, there are no such ones, but you are welcome to clear our country a bit of russian imigrants

One thing the Q will admit is that Americans traveling abroad are the worst jerks you'll ever meet. That said however, when others come to visit the US, they'll not find a nicer, more hospitable people anywhere.

Its' a very interesting "spectrum extreme."

...you are welcome to clear our country a bit of russian imigrants

I knew you'd say that.

Perhaps the Q needs to re-visit Riga now that the Soviets are gone. I'll be sure to drop a line before coming.
