Please clarify, you're even confusing yourself. At first you say the people who blame America (thanks for not capitalizing the name of the country you supposedly love), but then you change it in your explanation to be "Because they find it easy to blame us and carry out violence against us." Not everyone who blames us for the world's problems carries out violence against us. If they did, we'd be in much worse shape since a lot of people blame us and very, very, very few actually commit violent acts against us.David.Podedworny wrote:

Please explain exactly how those people are the biggest threat to world peace? Specifically explain how they're worse than the people committing violent acts.David.Podedworny wrote:
Other. People who blame america for the world's woes.
Allright then lets break it down country by country.
1. Mexico: Why did the Mexicans boo Ms. America at the pageant? Why do they hate her? What did she do to deserve this? Nothing thats what. They hate america for not allowing them in the country, Why? They are coming to america to escape from their economic hardships and when they are found and thrown out of the country what do they do? They bitch and moan about it, America does'nt hate Mexicans, Even though it seems like it its not, Most Illegal Immigrants coming to america are entering from the mexican border. So they blame america for whats wrong with their nation because. A. America is their neighbor B. It's easier to bitch and moan about someone else then blame yourself.
2. Palestine and Other Middle Eastern Countries: Why do they blame america for their own hardships?v When it is america who has been giving aid and supplies in order for them to have a better quality of life for many years, Why do they call us Great Satan? Why do they hate Israel? I know that the Israel's took the land of the palestinians in the 60's but for fucks sake they started it. They blame us for all thats wrong in their lives because we support Israel(who i dont agree with personally)
3. South Asian countries affected by the Tsunami in 04: After the Tsunami who was the First Nation to help tell me who? We flew in so much aid and personal after the tsunami and now? They wanna kill us? Fuck them. They blame america for the tsunami.
I can do alot more but i gotta go now.
Now for your "breaking it down by country" that only mentions two countries:
1. Mexico. No, I don't understand how people who boo Miss America are just as bad as car bombers. I'm sure relatives of the victims of these attacks will be offended by your even suggesting they are.
2. Middle East. Learn your history. Palestine didn't start anything with Israel. After WWII, a bunch of self-righteous white people decided to take Palestinian land and give it to the Jews since they felt bad about the Holocaust. Yes, a lot of people in the middle east hate us. If you study 20th century history and our involvement in the middle east, you'll have a greater understanding why. We mucked around in their business quite a bit. Not enough to deserve the backlash we've gotten because of it, but we're not exactly sparkling fresh and innocent.
3. Southeast Asia. Wow, you couldn't even name the country that was hit the hardest after it was plastered all over the news for a year. Shouldn't that give you a clue that maybe you're not the best authority on the subject. It's Indonesia, btw, and I haven't heard of any stories of them hating the US more than anyone else. Indonesia's so deep in the middle of its own cultural upheaval that they don't have time to target the US for anything. Give me some examples of them carrying out attacks against us. I won't hold my breath. Indonesian Muslims are too concerned with reestablishing their own cultural identity that they're not bothering to target any particular country, they're too busy attacking each other. And seriously, where did you hear that they blame us for the damn tsunami? Were you really gullible enough to believe that or are you grasping at straws to make your point?
David, I think deep down you're a decent guy, but you're trying so freaking hard to come off as some kind of hardline tough guy (Rambo's apprentice ) that you're totally blowing away all common sense. I see your posts and a lot of times your heart is in the right place, but you're so quick to jump to conclusions that you don't seem to think about what you're posting. I'm made comments like this to you before, although I don't know if you've seen them, and am going to keep making these comments to you in the future. Gentle nudging isn't working, so maybe some good natured flaming will do the job. If we call you on your bs enough times, maybe you'll think before you post.
Now back on topic, I originally voted for Muslim extremists, but am seriously considering changing my vote to plain-old, common ignorance. Sorry for highjacking the thread.
