Agreed. Ok America went to Iraq for the oil, yet, no one would blame them if they where selling the oil to pay back the Iraqi debt to America, but they won't do that. So not only do the American people get to pay for the War, they also get to pay for the reconstruction. And don't forget about the rest of the coalition countries too. What is gas / litre in the UK right now?Kmarion wrote:

I was always fascinated that US people actually _beleive_ that Iraq was invaded because of Saddam The Boogieman and "democracy" mumbo-jumbo.
Only one word to beleivers of this: OIL.
If it was about oil why did we live after the first gulf war when we were standing right outside of the capital?

Not to mention the very slow reaction from the US about the Asian Tsunami 18months ago.

pffft he couldn't come up with a rational line of debate so he resorted to name calling.
America's penis is bigger than your country's penis.
Action attributable to a country are different to those attributable to a people. Would you, for example, deem Iraqis to be responsible for Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait?|AIA| DAS wrote:

This is what you said...."We donated more than you"
Since when is it what 'your country' of residence does is the only thing that matters? The American people are the most generous people on the planet. Find evidence to dispute that M8! G'Day...

Fine then. I deem each and every American personally responsible for every death of innocent civilians in Iraq.
Enough of this crap, US blablablablah the UK.. blablablablah.. this and that.. my country is better than your country.. blablablablablah

Antarctica's policy on global warming is economically unsustainable.

did you read that link on the first page, americans donate pretty much the least % wise of their money to other countries and that is what matters. How much of your money you are willing to give to others, that percentage not actually money.|AIA| DAS wrote:

Point of order, your government gave more, as your little chart points out. As far as individual donations, the American people gave more than most nations combined.

Like why we have a much lower rate of incarceration and homicide than the US?
If you want to take cheap shots which have no relevance, we can. You're losing, just now. Try harder.

Since when does a percentage mean fuckall? So if Americans are successful, that is there fault, what about non American citizens living in America, i.e. resident aliens. Do you think money given by us falls under our homeland's flag? No, it doesn't. If you don't like it get yourself a booming economy. I've lived all over this planet and the USA is the greatest country on the planet, for freedoms and liberties, and capitalism. I'm even considering dual citizenship.Vilham wrote:

Your lower rate of incarceration and homicide huh, your dole pays better.
Because if a man who earns $20 a day gives $10 a day to charity, he's more generous than a man who earns $100 a day and gives $10 a day to charity, isn't he?

But a man who earns $1200 / day and gives $200 / day to charity... Gives more money, ask the charity who they would rather collect from.Bubbalo wrote:

But he is not more generous, merely more able. And if you want to argue effect, then you throw intent arguments out the window, meaning that many of your actions are wrong.
