America has done bad things yes, and America does have drug runners and arseholes and corrupt business men
but what country hasn't?
if it was not for the war mongoring over conservative nature of the US government then i would imagine that negative image of America would change (it won't but hey its nice to hope)
Oh and the American government needs to start treating its own countrymen properly
there are only two places i have been where the rich/poor divide has been so weird and large
America (the most powerful country in the world) and Albania (an ex-communist state with a population smaller than Wales where most people have fled across borders or tried to swim to corfu...some of them make it...)
its really fucked up...

They had Henry Ford who developed the assembly line. In other words, they got a head start by around 50 years.
Nothing to be proud of.
Yeah well since american cars suck in everything but performance it seems that they didn't take advantage of that head start....Nyte wrote:

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
Russia and North Korea have a better rep than the U.S.?
What the fuck? Ohh wait....Bush. Sorry, I forgot.

Wow...you are confused. The Marshall Plan was the recovery of war-torn Europe AFTER WW2, meaning it was the solution, not the cause. The main cause was the Treaty of Versailles, of which Britain and France wanted to punish Germany and wrecked their economy. That in turn, led to the rise of Nazi Germany and WW2.konfusion wrote:
First off, I wonder why EU is part of the list, and separate from Great Britain and France??
To the argument:
The Marshall plan put way too much pressure on Germany's economy, and was thus the basis of WWII.
You're right--Europe didn't do anything. It stopped due to USSR economy.konfusion wrote:
The cold war can be compared to two men comparing dick sizes. Europe was completely left out on that. Europe stayed out of that - and thus kept the situation from escalating.
Correct, the US does get involved due to self interests, as many countries, however to state, "ONLY" is false. Please enlighten us what economy boosts we received from Grenada, Bosnia, Somalia, etc?konfusion wrote:
The USA only intervene when they see massive benefits to their own economy - I don't blame them, but how dare you see them as 'selfless".
They're (Shias vs Sunnis) killing each other for control of the county. I agree they don't want the US there, but they have other motives.konfusion wrote:
People kill civilians in Iraq to try to warn the US to get out of their country. They don't like intervention.
Wow....just wow. If you stated human rights violations, that would've made your argument more plausible rather than extremist US-hating. Did the US work these prisoners to death? Hardly.konfusion wrote:
The USA have their own concentration camps - they just call the people they torture "detainees" to make it sound better.
Again with your misinformation on the WWs. I agree that the US had good odds, but they hardly joined at the end for the winning side. Germany sunk too many of their transport vessels, which prompted US entry.konfusion wrote:
In WWI the USA just came to finish the Germans off - who, by the way, were already fighting 3 other Countries (pretty much by themselves, considering their allies). Four against one - the USA's odds couldn't have been better.
Link to where we used napalm in Iraq? I thought the last time US used chemical weapons was in Vietnam.konfusion wrote:
Coming back on Iraq - the USA used Napalms, and denied ever having used chemical weapons...
Another wow...just wow. Yes, rebuilding Germany's strength and economy for the German people cancels out the extermination of 6,000,000 Jews and killing millions of others through WW2. Yes, Bush's f-up in Iraq cancels out the aid and military support for the other countries. C'mon, use your brain. (BTW, I am well aware of US' many faults, however this statement is lunacy.)konfusion wrote:
If the good canceled out the bad, Hitler would be seen as a much better person, and Mussolini definitely should!
Please don't pass them on again.konfusion wrote:
