The average American is more generous, and more forgiving then the average European ("They just Don't Get It" book). Something to be proud of.
Pride because of someone else's actions, when they regard you in no way?
I'm only proud of things that are of my doing, atleast to some extent.
QUOTE
Im disgusted in you all, some of you wish we are to be killed off by the sun blowing up, others are insulting America, and alot of you are insulting each other. Wait a tic, I thought this was a mature discussion....
Insulting each other? Give me enough examples of insulting each other that's out of place enough to make it immature.
And what's wrong with wishing that humans no longer existed?
You know what disgusts me more?

And the general public enjoy seeing war, rape, gun fights, murders, missing people, and general crime on the news. Its a sick fact, but true. thats what Lupin(F) was thinking, I think.
The fact that you were correct when you said that.
Humans seem to consider themselves inherantly better then other lifeforms—when was the last time you saw someone kill some innocent arthoropod for no reason?
QUOTE
You say that we think Arabs are lesser people on many posts. Getting real tired of that. All people are equal, thats what i think and Lupin(F) probably. I can't believe you would let the suffering of Iraqi civilians go on by a Dictator just becuase he didn't pose a threat to America....
He's not saying that they're lesser. It'd be more truthful to say that he's saying we're harming them more then we're helping them. It's the war that he dislikes, and America, as I understand it, not the Arabs. Quote him 'saying' that Arabs are lesser.

Why we pick Iraq to be freed? People who were being oppressed and we could go in a whoop Saddam's ass with ease. I don't want to hear about any oil crap becuase the price of gas is still rising after a couple years of being in Iraq, until our gas prices decrease that arguement is unfacter-able.
And how would having someone in Iraq suddenly make oil prices suddenly go down?
It wouldn't. Don't say that until an action has effect, that the effect cannot be the reason behind the action. That's just pure stupid.

Liberal IS a mental disorder, read the book "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder" which proves, with scientific FACT that the above statement is true. I thought that statement went over the top, but then I read the book and changed my mind. Its a true statement.
Well, even supposing that you're telling the truth about it having "proof" of it being a mental disorder, I would like proof that mental disorders are a necesarily bad thing.
And if you're going to say that mental disorders are not inherantly bad, then it shouldn't be mentioned that Liberalism is one anyways, since it means nothing in that case.

History is a great subject. Some of the best military manuevers that were used in the past (Rome, Nazis), are still used today by our Armies. So if history is a bad subject. Then obviously you don't care what so ever on the history of your country, or the shaping of the world? or the eygptions? or romans? or the Greeks? or the Persians? or the Hans? Obviously you don't care about the many ages, such has the Renasiannce, Age of Exploration, the Industerial age, the two Agricultural Revolutions. Such much to learn from. AND YES, some topics we still haven't learned at all from.
I never said it's not a great subject.
Truthfully, though, I
don't care much about the history of the U.S.
If I had reason to, I would study it for information, but I don't have use for it as it is.
