Words like "Schadenfreude" clearly show, that the rest of the world begins to adopt more and more German words in their languages. Which is a wise and foresighted decision, by the way!

Anyone who apologizes to the likes of France aren't Americans. Anyone who sits on here and whines and apologizes for America like Drachosor does, isn't American. We didn't just give the the middle finger to the world, we gave the middle finger to American hating apologists like Drachosor who feel they are somehow enlightened over the rest of America. So let me reiterate what the election results have very loudly stated: **** you Drachosor and your left wing American hating apologists, and **** you France and Germany and China for trying to influence our elections in your own self interest in your attempt to bring the US down to your level.

Those words are only used by the liberal 'pseudo-intelligencia' (who have no idea what they actually mean, they just pretend to know). Everyone who really knows their meaning, knows they are meaningless words designed to insinuate German eurocom 'culture' into america. The Japanese use a similar ploy with their
mind numbing cartoons and songs.

Don't be. If Bush had really said anything even close to that it would have been all over the news. The US has an agreement with the Russians not to touch Cuba, ergo, Castro will be left alone to rant and rave until he finally kicks the bucket. Shortly after he does a McDonalds will pop up on every Cuban street corner.

Guys you can blame the American people, But it would be wiser to blame Kerry. This was his to lose, and from the get go he did nothing to set out what he was going to do or why it would be in everyone's best interest to do it. He should have from the start said that gay marriage and abortion were not on the table here, and that the US had some more important issues to fix first. He shouldn't have sent the conflicting message of Bush is bad because of debt but I want to spend even more. He should have set out on restoring fiscal responsibility,renegotiating trade agreements in the interests of US workers(good buzz words there, doesn't mean he actually had to do anything),etc.

wow...some of you guys are idiots. Countries are going to do what is in their best interest. France was making a lot of money off of iraq. Of course they don't want us to go in there and blow saddam to hell. We, however, had other interests, and leaving saddam in power wasn't in concordance with those interest. So I don't think that we should ask france's permission or anyone else.

The simple fact of the matter is that the UN is completely useless in matters like these. No rogue nation is going to listen to there "mandates" because they refuse to inforce them. How many resolutions did the UN pass against Iraq? and they just wanted to give more time over and over again. There comes a time when you have to draw a line in the sand and say buck up or shut up.

And then they have the gall to complain when we won't give them contracts? if i were bush, i wouldn't have been nearly so civil about this. Of course we want to give the contracts to US companies, so the US companies can be taxed off of the revenue, and we can get a small portion of our 200 billion back. Of course we want to stimulate our economy instead of the economies of those nations who wouldn't help because they were making money off of the enemy.

France's greed and arrogance to feel they deserve such a thing was appalling.

It's quite hard to be neutral to someone who declares war and send U-boots to sink your ships, right?

Germany declared war on the USA on the 11th of Dec 1941 thus ending the ongoing debate about whether the USA should become involved in another european war.

Yeah, apparently the overwhelming majority ( ) of USAmerican people don't care about the facts, they care about "values" like poverty, death, and general mayhem. Oh, and stopping homogays from marrying. Ooo, scary.

Again, not us, we wouldn't have been speaking Germany, well I don't know about that but at least not Russia. Again the old WWII argument. Hey, our grandfathers died in it too. So shut up or get a life all the people who still uses this as a 'valid' argument. Bow down to france, without france there would be no US.

Y'know what? I've had it with the world. I've had it with taking goddamn broadsides from the right-wingers, and I've ****ing had it taking broadsides from the left-wingers.

I happen to support gay rights, thankyouverymuch. I happen to support a lot of things the more reactionary members of my party oppose because, frankly, I don't feel threatened by it.

If I'm out of step with the rest of the world, then screw it. I can only articulate so much before I say to hell with it all.

Yeah, but if I did that, I'd have to adore Canada for jumping to the aid of the allies before they were even attacked by the Germans.
For some reason, however, you never hear Canadians cracking that tired old "if it wasn't for us" line. Maybe because they're not suffering from an inferiority complex or the obsessive need to have everyone like them.

But if it makes you feel any better, I would hereby like to declare my official hatred for:
Spain (Relentlessly persecuting Protestants between roughly 1566 and 1795)
England (6 wars over who had the best navy between 1652-1803)
Portugal (Biggest economic competitor in the East Indies trade market)
France (numerous wars, including ones from 1672, 1685, 1747, 1795 and, of course, Napoleon)
Belgium (invaded in 1304, seperated from us in 1830)
Italy (Roman invasion up until the Rhine river)
Scandinavia (All you Northmen looting our shores)
Germany (1940-1945 wasn't the first indiscretion, you bastards!)

There. I hereby hate all those countries so that I can use the exact same reasoning to like America.

...

You know, I just don't have that much burning hatred to spread around. I guess I'll just have to judge America on what it's doing today.
