United STATES OF SHAME

[markbsas]

Maybe because you're not providing reasons, corroboration, arguments, but just making a naked assertion and then complaining when people remain sceptical.

It's actually QUITE simple actually. The USA is a GREAT country because it is a collaboration of people from the whole world. There is absolutely no other country that can claim the kind of diversity that is found in the US. Sometimes how we don't kill ourselves is beyond me. But we have pulled it off.

Everyone except for native americans are hypenated americans. We are all from other countries including YOURS. So you could say that nothing was invented or came from the US since none of us are from there. But then that would be ridiculous just like the rest of your arguments.

The US is great because there is no place like it on earth for these very reasons. We are not perfect and we don't claim to be. We are a mixture that I don't see anywhere else, and I don't see any other country expose their internal weakness and struggles like we have.

All you give a damn about here is making yourself feel better and your country superior by trashing mine. I could easily trash just about any country you come from. QUITE easily. I don't. Why... because I'd like to think I have more class and respect than that. You folks on the other hand do not have either class or respect.

Get a life

I contend that the USA has done FAR more good in this world than bad. But there is no way you could ever see that. To you evidently the US is the great satan, the cause of all bad in this world. You insist on throwing the baby out with the bath water. Pitiful.

Do you also contend that Nazi-Germany did far more good than bad?

It can be argued that ARPANET helped established the protocols used on the Internet today.

"The first networking protocol used on the ARPANet was the Network Control Program. In 1983, it was replaced with the TCP/IP protocol, which is still the standard used today"

And I said the INTERNET, not the WWW

"The Internet was invented by the US Department of Defense as a means of communication if we were attacked by Russia. That was in 1969. The WWW on the other hand was invented by an Englishman called Tim Berners-Lee in Switzerland in 1989. The Internet dates back to the 1950s and 60s, although few of us knew of it then as it was part of the American defence system. "

Oh my god, you are a real piece of work. You have zero capacity to lay out a balanced argument and only care about your socialist or anarchist or whatever view it is you have. I don't really care. You are a complete waste of everyone's time on this forum. Your only agenda is to trash the US.

Again... let's summarize. You guys believe the US is responsible for all the evil in the world. If a country is poor it's the US fault. If it rains, it's the US fault. If there is an earthquake, it's somehow the US fault. If there is famine, it's the US fault. The US is good for nothing, never did anything worthwhile, never invented anything, never helped anyone, never did anything good anywhere, etc etc etc. It does not matter at all what the US does, in your mind it is evil. US = evil. Ok got it.

I feel sorry for you that you are so brainwashed to believe this s***. And btw, I wasn't born yesterday. You seem to enjoy waltzing around here thinking you are smarter and more enlightened than everyone else. Truth is. You didn't come up with all of this on your own. You are just regurgitating what you have been told by others who have their agenda as well.

Hopefully one day you will be able to think for yourself. But probably not. You seem to enjoy being a follower.

I bet you are actually scared to come and spend some time in the US. Because then some of this crap that you have learned, or been taught, might be proven false. And then where would you be...

The World Wide Web is the Internet. And that English dude didn't invent anything, he just made it public available. Who cares who invented what? The Nazis invented a lot of good things too you know.

If this is a waste of time, why do you even bother answering, Mark, unless you have time to waste and do it deliberatly.

Orwellian is trolling, that s his way of enjoying his free time. Nothing obliges you to feed the troll unless you enjoy it as well.

Agreed.

Thanks

Balanced argument? Are you calling my arguments biased? And you care about other views yourself? And if I am such a waste of time of everyone's time here, why are you discussing with me?

Again... let's summarize. You guys believe the US is responsible for all the evil in the world. If a country is poor it's the US fault. If it rains, it's the US fault.

Never said that I believe that the U.S is responsible for all the evil in the world.

I have never insinuated that I was smarter than anyone else here. And you are not regurgitating what you have been told too?

I don't mind going there to spend some time. But honestly I am not sure they will let me in to the country. But sure, one day I will probably go there. If it still exists that is.

Trust me; there is no “class” in US. It’s not even country with solid believes or followings. I’d say it’s a market place, surrendered by waters and Border Patrol. So you’re trying to be politically correct and to not offend my Mongolian-slavic-sweden-uzbek-hispanik-german ancestry just bc you’re feeling “classy”??

“Sometimes how we don't kill ourselves is beyond me”

O-oh, civilian US killing is on large scale, much larger than ANY other country.
Look into civilian murder rates, police shooting, school shooting, rape, racial aggravation… Are you blind? Look at ur lovely ABC in the Morning. Mothers killing their own children, husbands kill wives, kids, sisters… whoever in the line… Upset students walking on shooting spree in University, talking monkeys chasing each other in public malls… Ta’Hell are you talking about?

“We are not perfect and we don't claim to be”

This is exactly opposite as it goes in Foreign Politics of US. US is the one who goes and “making piece” once their oil reserves get low.
Let’s continue on The Greatest Of All Time.

“If a country is poor it's the US fault.”

O-oh, is NOT?
