little witch,
I'm sorry I confused an idiotic statement with one being an idiot. Sorry.
There is a very loose connection between my the two threads. You stated that I started this thread because I "lost" on the other one. Total bullshit. A) I wanted to focus on non-US citizens in a thread and B) I didn't "lose".
Where do you get that I'm against democracy? Au contraire, I'm all for it. True democracy, that is. It seems you've bought into the great myth that everyone in this country has a fair and equal voice. Again, pure bullshit. We do not live in a classless society in the US -- money talks...corporate money talks. There are so many over the table (and underneath it) cash for votes it's sickening.
Ghandi was once asked how he felt about Western civilization. He replied, "I think it's a great idea." The same could be said for "democracy" in America. We have a semblence of democracy in the US just as the JWs have a semblence that they are a kindly group of well-intentioned loving Christians.
Seriously, you've got to do more reading.

Chevy,
Well, I think it's a little unfair to judge a country based on vacationing there, lol!
BTW -- I've heard a lot of good things about New Zealand. Anyone from there?

are they still witnesses?
do you feel personally responsible?
have you made any attempt to correct their/your mistake?.
Two. Joe and Sheila. I'm sorry.

Thank you concerned mama.
Sheesh. That's all I asked!

little witch,
What the hell are you talking about? First off, the questions are different in nature. You'd have to be an idiot to think otherwise.
Secondly, many of the responses I got from the other thread supported how I feel! Look at it. There was the typical bickering between left and right, but by no means a consensus that what I said was wrong.
Please don't hijack my thread and turn it into a war zone. I asked a question to a very specific segment of board.
B.
ah yes, the ?truth?
?and not by the standards of one publishing company in which we all here share something in common with.
as i?ve sat silently for months, browsing this board on occasion, and i still can?t believe there are people here who blind themselves with ?patriotism?
Not to mention that the US is the number one polluting nation in the world. Killing us slowly.

I've heard it over and over again in conversations about the US -- "What other country would you rather live in?" The question is stated in such a fashion as to say that nothing is better than living in the good 'ol US of A. "What, are you stupid? Who would want to live anywhere but here?"
So, my question to you Englanders, Aussie's, Canadians, Netherlanders and other people living in the horrors of what is not America: How do you feel about this assesment? Do you stay up at night in fear and anger grinding your teeth wishing you were in the safe and loving arms of the USA? How do you feel about the tautology that the US is, far and away, the "best place to live"?
And what do you think of America in general -- it's history, culture and politics?

Good God Yeru,
The US has indeed exploited the American Indian and the African slave...but who else have we exploited and how...who have we sanctioned without a valid reason solely to gain a choke hold? Specifically, in your life time...who has been exploited by the US and how???
How about the 3 million dead Vietnamese? What about the mass-slaughter in East Timor -- which also numbered into the millions -- in the 1970's which the US turned a blind eye to (and even funded!!) ? Not to mention practically the whole of South America....(Nicaragua, Haiti.....and so on). Sweat shops around the globe owned by US corporations -- the government couldn't care less.
Just the tip of the iceburg.
Please. Yeru, you are amazing.

I don't see where Stacey is this great debater. Great arguer, maybe, but that's all.
