I don't think anyone is claiming perfection here. My opinion, however, is that if you are truly embarrassed about your nationality, then you should take some kind of action.

Got to agree with Dickhead on this one. It is flat out embarrassing having to admit my citizenship sometimes and field questions about the United States asinine foreign policy. I recently graduated with a a BA in International Relations, and I can tell you with reasonable expertise that the US has frequently acted in very evil ways and seriously ruined the lives of people living all over the world with various tentacles of its miscalculated realist and neorealist foreign policy. If the average Chileno or Argentino knew to the extent that I know of the role of the US government in installing and maintaining the Pinochet and Videla / Viola dictatorships, they would hate the Americans as much as Arabs do. If Henry Kissinger ever traveled to Chile, I am almost certain he would be arrested for his crimes committed against the Chilean people.
When people proudly speak of the US as the "world's army" and buy into the flat-out propaganda that the US is spreading "freedom", "democracy" and "rights" while they operate what Amnesty International refers to as the "Gulag of Our Time" in Guantanamo Bay, it really pains me. If I havent had electricity, potable water, or any government services to speak of in 3 years, as the Iraqis have, I too would be preparing for Civil War.
Keep Tabs on Your Government,

Posts: 3510I am flat embarassed to be estadounidense right now, and I hope I never have to return to living in the country of my birth. Anyone who wonders why need only read this thread.
Iraq = Vietnam = Guatemala in 1954 = Mexico in 1845. I take no position on capitalism vs collectivism but imperialism and colonialism suck for sure.
Live and let live.

Well I think it's the other way around, England doesn't want to lose the US doing all their dirty work.

Of course the USA is the world's army and has been for quite some time, duh. It protects weaklings that can't protect themselves like UK.
Too bad we didn't "lose" England like we "lost" Vietnam. If only we could switch.

It's the decline of the American empire, the purpose is to reduce the US into the European standard of liberty where not a single country enjoys a constitution or inalienable civil rights and where patriot act type government powers have existed for decades.
Until that happens however the US will continue to enjoy the highest standard of living in the world, at least from an economic perspective if you disregard its culture and don't eat fast food.
Multiculturalism is also just as pervasive in the US as it is in Europe. In fact Americans are far more tolerant of foreigners which is why they all prefer to go there. Not to mention that the US / Mexican border basically no longer exists.

Opportunities available to the industrious and intelligent in the US are not available in Germany where the upper middle class is now virtually extinct. I understand that unemployment for even highly skilled and qualified people in Germany is extremely high.
So when I'm saying that the US has a higher standard of living it is relative to German expectations of individual performance standards.
If the US had the labour force of Germany it would be receive an unprecedented economic boost, just take a look at what Diamler has done for Dodge when all those engineers were wooed into the US and take a look at the decline of the Mercedes line in kind.
What I'm saying is that a German would have a much higher standard of living in the US than in Germany while a US citizen already living under the poverty line in the US would not be able to survive in Germany at all.

Posts: 1043You need to lighten up Mpexy, among other things. Such as quit stalking, obsessing, ranting, freaking, and whining. I'm getting various PMs about you and your obsession with me. I would list some of the comments I've received about you but that would be a violation of the profanity rule.
I'll say it again - I'm not interested in you. Can I make this rejection any clearer? No means no.
