I’d rather have a colonoscopy than go to America.

Wow.

It’s not MY video. I’m not suicidal to go to Iraq under the present conditions. As for me mistakenly labeling them Americans, Buffballswell already pointed that out. I acknowledged that already.

Their country, their problem. Its not your deal to intervene in your neighbors yard because his two kids are fighting.

America is NOT the international police. No country is.

Maybe the UN, but that’s a tough call to make.

Yes, I am also ashamed to point my fingers at the people who persecute my tree-hugging way of life.

The door swings both ways.

Conservative Commie bastard. I know because I used to live in a communist country and now I live in a Socialist country (Canada).

You would do well if you lived in China right now.

Actually, if the things cooled down in the Middle East, it would be a nice vacation spot.

2. Somebody already informed me that you are an arab going to school in Sweden. I could argue with you about the war in Iraq but it’s times like these that I have to remind myself it’s just a waste of time. You see the only real difference between Arabs and Westerners is the Enlightenment.[/quote]

You are an idiot if you think that one race is more enlightened than another. Ever visited the hicks down south? Obviously not. Ever been to Afghanistan? They don’t even have running water, not to mention basic education… LOL! Now tell me they are enlightened. Either one.

I think he was talking about “The Enlightenment.”

Never mind.

here ya go:

I think with my brains thank you very much. Of course, others are coerced into fear and are set to believe that WWIII is on its way.

I couldn’t agree more. I also believe in the right of people to determine their own destiny. That is, if they want a state governed by the heir of Ron Hubbard, I say let 'em have it.

I haven’t been around that long (I’m 27), and neither has Islam (which is a mere 1428 years).

That’s assuming their parents weren’t obliterated by US bombs.

As opposed to the educated grown up who can’t distinguish between a subject and an object in his/her own native language? It’s whom you wanna use in that case, not who! Also, you seem to be confusing the substantive shame with the adjective ashamed. I knew geography was a luxury in the US, but basic grammar…c’mon!

Reminds me of a Simpson’s episode where Nelson takes Bart’s hand and starts slapping him in the face with it, while saying “Why do you slap yourself?”.

Ironically, you don’t even seem to know what ignorance is. Let me fill you in: Ignorance is a lack of knowledge. I fail to see how the lack of anything can be contagious. The beauty of ideas and information is that may share them without any loss. Ergo, ignorance cannot be spread.

Personal question T-MIA; Are you a member of the US military?

Wow.

P.S. - Those troops beating the kids in your youtube video are not American. Maybe post this bullshit on one of the British forums you’ve invaded.

I’m sure you are on the terrorist watch list. Don’t worry you wouldn’t be allowed in.

We’d rather you get a colonoscopy than set foot on our soil.

So from what I’ve read your best argument is that we dropped bombs on civilians, which is not entirely true. What happens is we drop bombs on people shooting at us, then before the news crews get there the survivors take away all the guys and start yelling, “look those American pigs killed civilians!”

Although at the present time I don’t think that the Iraqis deserve their freedom. Their intolerance towards religions even those based in the same beliefs as there own will forever cause them to kill each other. Muslims at one point in history were the most open and accepting of all religions, now the exact opposite is true in such countries as Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Iraq.

It’s a shame that what was once such a great religion has been distorted into one where women are denied basic human rights and people believe they have to kill anyone who doesn’t follow their exact beliefs. I’m guessing that this time period will be likened to the Holly Crusades of Medieval times, with the difference being that the Muslims are much less united than the Christians were.

Oh yes they dethroned a dictator, but replaced with

Then again who was so stupid to believe that?

Uhh we didn’t create the Chaos that would be the people that apparently can�??t handle their own freedom. Last I checked it wasn’t US forces car bombing the people celebrating a soccer win.

We overthrew a dictator that was killing people by the thousands, and then the country decided to go into a civil war instead of uniting as free countrymen.

One last post: If you hate America as you implied when you said that you wouldn’t set foot on our soil, why do you have an American comic character as your avator?

True. Saddam was killing his neighbors and his people before the invasion.

Oh no? How did you proceed in 2003? Did I miss the part where you had civilians evacuated. By the most conservative accounts, thousands have died. That’s still thousands too many for me.

Now now, Pierce, I never said I hated America although I obviously am not a fan of the way it conducts its foreign policy.

I said that I won’t set foot in the country anymore because of all the abuses condoned by the “Patriot” act.

People are routinely persecuted for having the wrong name, criticizing the war, or even for wearing the wrong t-shirt. Sorry, but I’m not fond of being detained (for hours, days…) without charges. I personally know a guy who spent 48 hours in JFK for no other reason than his unconventional facial hair.

Ok, now that is just stupid lixy.

America is a great country. Not as great as most of the arrogant people in it think it is, but still better than most places in the world.

That’s because Iraq always has been an artificial country. Created by the French and the Brits and kept in check by brutal dictators. Remove the strongman and of course they go back to their tribal wars and land grab attempts. The only thing that united the Iraqis was their fear of Saddam.

Get out, and let them settle their issues. Doing otherwise is just postponing the inevitable. Better they do it now than when more players in the region have nuclear weapons.

But Bush is an idiot. To top it off, he has his legacy, and he’s not about to undermine his future library and place in history as the “Champion” of freedom. So he will continue on and on, doing the same thing and expecting a different result…

I never said it wasn’t great. Indeed, I think that it’s a very nice place to visit. It’s a great place to settle in if you’re interested in making money. I merely stated that I personally would rather stay away from it as long as the Patriot act and airport paranoia is still in effect.

I like the US but not enough to take such risks.
