At this point I'm okay with this. :D

I can bash on America all day if I want to. There's lots and lots of problems in this country. Our government's messed up, our society's messed up, and our economy's messed up.
But y'know what? I'd rather live here than a lot of other places.
Say whatever you like about how bad we are, but a lot of other places are just as bad or considerably worse. Humanity itself needs fixing.

America: The Good Neighbor.

"This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least appreciated people on all the earth.

Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of these countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States.

When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it.

When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the United States that hurries in to help. This spring, 59 American communities were flattened by tornadoes. Nobody helped.

The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped billions of dollars! into discouraged countries. Now newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent, warmongering Americans.

I'd like to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplane. Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all the International lines except Russia fly American Planes?

Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or woman on the moon? You talk about Japanese technocracy, and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy, and you get automobiles.

You talk about American technocracy, and you find men on the moon -not once, but several times - and safely home again.

You talk about scandals, and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everybody to look at. Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are here on our streets, and most of them, unless they are breaking Canadian laws, are getting American dollars from ma and pa at home to spend here.

When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both are still broke.

I can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake.

Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them get kicked around. They will come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their nose at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles. I hope Canada is not one of those."

Gordon Sinclair, Canadian Broadcaster - 1973

That was a painful read...what a brown-noser.

If countries were more appreciative and thankful of each other's contributions to society, there'd be a lot less war and a lot more peace in this world.

TARFU, we dropped two atomic bombs one one country and gave the world The Eagles. As an American I appreciate your posts, but let's face it, we're pretty fucking evil. :P

Human rights... LOL!

There are no rights. Made up concept. Just preferences.

Would you like some cornflakes in your tinfoil bowl?

America is great.

Well, "A Horse With no Name" is an overrated song but "Ventura Highway" is a classic to be sure.

Sure, Also Pearl Harbor didn't happen.

Who can ever forget the great times of the enemy you bombed that day? Specially when they have recurring mediums that still lie about the facts of their own fucking war crimes!

Also, credit to the US, they backed Venezuela when we were at a civil war before ww2 I think and italy, france and germany wanted to take the soil for immigrants and citizens of those respective nationalities with companies being in the curfew, if the US hadn't citated the law there for political turmoil, Venezuela would have lost it's grip and sended them our air force in vain.
