What's wrong with critisizing America? I put it down all the ime and I was born and raised here.

Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)
1] What you CAN NOT post.
You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene
You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)
The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!
2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.
This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.
3] Keep the focus.
Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.
4] Behave as you would in a public location.
This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.
5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.
Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.
6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.
Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.
7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.
- PLEASE READ -
Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.
8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)
If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

Originally posted by patlajanThat's what you sound like. You're regurgitating information that you've slectivly remembered without thinking. You have one goal, and that is to say whatever bad you can about the U.S. which is why you changed the subject when I confronted you about the defecit issue.
You don't like the U.S. for your own personal reasons, and everything else is a show and dance. That is why you sound like the teacher from Charlie Brown:
whaaa whaa whaa whaaa
The biggest emitter of greenhouse gases is China. And they're just getting started. The U.S. might not have the toughest emissions standards but they are certainly tough.
If you ever go to Mexico city, or Karachi you would see smog like you can't imagine. So let's not feed into your little fantasy where the U.S. is causing all your problems, and spoiling your milk too.
If you ever want to be truly educated, you'll stop reading and listening to only things that agree with your preconsieved beliefs.
None of these countries take this money. The US gives it, and it doesn't give it as aid. It does it to secure its own interests. I am not criticizing this, because it is to be expected, and every great power will do it (maybe even Canada might have if it had an army), but let us be honest about it. And this is what creates all your problems. American administrations have a tendency to take care of the "now" and leave all the consequences for those who will come later to deal with. Why did Turkey get all that aid? Beucase they needed it? Or because they bordered the USSR?
All I'm saying is, your tax dollars going all around the world is probably the best way to spend it for your own security.
We can criticize China and Mexico all we want...who cares? The U.S., whether we like it or not, is the sole superpower of this world for now, and it is expected of them to lead the world to progress, not send it back to the Middle Ages.
I am very critical of the States, and always have been. But at least under Clinton, it was the "evil we knew", for lack of a better term. Bush, whether Americans choose to accept this or not, is viewed as the biggest threat to global security by people all around the world.

The entire world is against America, the entire european nations is hard at work to rise the euro and lessen the dollar.. infact the value of the dollar is not dropping.. but the value of the euro, and the new pezo in Cuba is rising against the dollar...
I am through with arguing how not so smart it is to go on an emotionally inspired rant and keepy saying Bush had no other ways to make money he invaded Iraq and took on the responsibility of the lives of thousands of American soldiers for oill.. thats becoming a sickening argument.
Someone made a comment above about not waiting for the UN to approv of the war... The UN has done nothing.. NOTHING for the sake of humanitarian rights.. dropping food in somalia is nothing.. and even Bosnia they stood around.. thank God clinton FINALLY went in and helped...How do you hurt a masochist?
