  Why is Lincoln considered are greatest President?
  Didn't he realy go against what Jefferson wrote.
  Hmmm where was South Vietnam and South Korea
  when Jefferson Davis needed them. Think about
  that one for awhile?

  The recent election shows we should be two different
  countries. Why are we happy at the split up of the U.S.S.R.
  Yet would think it treason to suggest the good ol' U.S.A.
  should be split up?

  It is all about Power and Greed my friends but hey some
  of us are PROUD that we go around the world and kick
  ASS. I'm not for what the South stood for, but I kind of wish
  there was as PROUD a country back there that could have
  come over here and kicked the North's ASS. Seems that
  would have been fair all things considered.

  If y'all would like a humor break, may I suggest taking a peek at the "How Americans see the world..." thread in the Jokes and Humour forum?

  Is Lincoln considered to be our greatest president?

  countries. Why are we happy at the split up of the U.S.S.R.?

  Why do you say that the recent election shows we should be two different countries, rather than one country composed of any multitude of peoples, thought, culture, agenda, etc., that nonetheless hangs together despite whatever differences we might have?

  The breakup of the U.S.S.R. was the breakup of an empire which acquired the various S.S.R.'s (previously existing independent nations) which made it up by sheer, brute force. It was an empire which held that club of sheer, brute force over the heads of many other so-called 'independent' nations, forcing composition of what was known as the Soviet Bloc. It was an empire which was stalemated from further conquest only by the strength of its further intended victims.

  Thus, when its power began to wane, the various peoples and territories under it's once powerful sway began to pull away from it, ever more steadily and successfully until it was only a memory.

  I am happy at the breakup of the U.S.S.R. because, given the slightest opportunity, that empire would have brought the entire globe under it's rigid sway, ... or ... H-bombed into radioactive dust, any which refused to acquiesce, without so much as a second thought. That includes you ... and me.

  JUSTA THOUGHT---Ask ANY historian who our greatest
  president was it's unanimous my friend. Seems to me
  the U.S. kept the south by shear brute force.

  NEWS---FLASH---
  THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS THE ONLY ONLY
  ONLY ONLY ONLY country to drop the bomb go back
  to sleep.

  P.S. if your not sleeping yet our government actively in
  the modern past has toppled ligitament governments
  I would venture to guess we still do.
  We have no right to tell other people what kind of government they should have and the constitution does not allow for it .

  The reason we hang together is because individual states
  such as South Carolina does not have a fleet of stealth
  bombers. Ah yes the confederate flag and ol' dixie it's
  all about power and the FEDERAL government has all
  the power and all the money , do we have a choice but
  to hang together, REALLY.

  Crossroads:

  The primary objective of the Civil War was to preserve the Union of these United States of America. I think it was a good thing. the confederacy would never have survived with it's backward thinking and total reliance on an agricultural economy. i doubt if anyone today really thinks that the unity of the 50 states today is at all forced. hell some states have populations and economies that are bigger and more diverse than a great many nations. Yet, you don't here that extreme talk of seccession today. If this country were fractured into many nations a la the Middle East, Europe, it would be nowhere near the power it is today. The ability of a ppl to unify an area so large and diverse both geographically and culturally hasn't been done since the days of Rome. It also is the real foundation of American world power.

  ONE....

  Englishman,

  Thanks for pointing out how we as American think. I don't know what I would do with out you.
  As far as who the people running this government choose to bomb is a little out of my control.
  But in regards to counties who try and tell other countries what to think and how to live in the past and present may I just say the following about the British.

  Ireland, Australia, Canada, South Africa, India, Hong Kong, France, Egypt, Salomon Islands, Eagle Islands, Egmont Islands, Falkland Islands (nice little are here), Virgin Islands, Channel Islands, Anguilla, Ascension Islands, Bermuda, British Indian Ocean Territory, Cayman Islands, Gibraltar, Montserrat, Pitcairn Islands, Saint Helena Island, Turks Island, Caicos Island and on and on and on.

  Live and let live man, you made your point. We Americans are arrogant greedy people with desires for world domination. Now all we have to do is kick the British out of TWO FIFTHS of the worlds countries and
  we'll be able to accomplish that. We kicked your ass once we can do it again! Isn't that what life is all about, who can kick who's ass?

  Now you have me in the spirit of things. Fuck what I said earlier, lets rip everyone a new asshole so we can feel superior. It's the British and American way! Before you know it, every one on this board will hate each other and the whole board will close down. Won't that put a smile on the faces of the few JW's that pop in here. Maybe they are right. We don't have the ability to do our own thinking.

  Your a real trip Englishman, God save the Queen!
