Re: Anti-Americanism 'feels like racism'

Tell them that Bush had nothing to do with it, that is an ignorant view. Personally I blame Al Queda but whatever.

Re: Anti-Americanism 'feels like racism'

Canada's the same way.

They hate Americans because we're on top and they're not, especially in failed states like the UK and Canada.

Re: Anti-Americanism 'feels like racism'

If they hate us so much why do they practically beg us to cross the border! They're like "Come americans come and drink our beeerrr!". That's really what's great about New England.

They have no need to beg; there are plenty of 18-20 year olds who willingly cross every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.

I was drawing an analogy. And so what if Clooney doesn't like war? Who the hell does? He's still a know-it-all jerk.
Who the hell likes war? Every young man if he's not educated! Men prefer it to be lazybones in a prisoner of war camp instead to help their wifes doing sensefull things like watering flowers. Genghis Khan said: "Nothing makes more fun than to kill an enemy and to rape his wifes and daughters".

But the times today are 'modern' today - what means: films with some romantic sexual scenes are allowed to see in the age of 18 - films with an absolutely unbelievable cruelness (most films from the USA) are allowed in the age of 16. Now people are wondering about why 15 years old children are killing 15 years ol children and they are crying "killed the children which are killing children". Ugly. Our societies are sick. And a big part of this sickness comes from the anglo-saxon and anglo-american world. Maybe it's time to think about again?

Just as a side note, non- officer rank POWs can be and has been put to work (according to the Genevea convention (?)).

So your argument doesn't hold much water.

Is the world really this easy for you?
Just blame the Anglo's, don't consider other ( imho more important) factors like nonfunctional families/educationally self-deprived "classes" and so on.

Specially I'm thinking about the german lazybones calling themselves 'men' or 'soldiers' which let themselves either kill or arrest in pow camps instead fighting for human dignitas, while the women in Germany were the only heroes it is worth to think about. Men are the worst assholes in the world. - and I 'm not able to accept that in this brave new world today mothers are now going to kill the daughters and sons of other mothers. And please do not forget every german criminal who was in the past or is today or will be in future a member of every kind of statepolice structures like the Gestapo and the Stasi were. I hate all kinds of ideologic blindness.

Yes - it is. Whatever happens in the world - there is no need to kill brothers and sisters. I'm sure I'm hating this and I'm even sure godself hates this.

Sorry I really don't know what to say about this one, it's for sure a very classical anobsitar ().

For example I just wonder, why you bring up criminal organisations of past German dictatorships and how it's connected to my post about POWs not being layzbones.

There are no greater lazybonies in the world as POWs - except this lazybones which prefer to be murdered or this lazybones which are murdering people.

Because I hate this kind of mysticism. Instead working something what makes sense people are doing war and in case they are arrested they feel as a victim and in case they would arrest other peole they would be proud. All is nonsense in this context - everything is stupid what has to do with war.

Canadians don't have to beg Americans to come drink their beer, since the beer is better and the legal drinking age is 2 years less and 3 years less in Quebec.

Canadians don't hate Americans. There's always the jokes about how little Americans know about Canada, and there's the jokes about Americans and geography, and the jokes about how Canada's got really fat people but in America, it's a special kind of fat.

There is a divide in recent years though, but it has everything to do with the Bush team and not America per se. Canadians are still baffled over the whole gay thing in America. It's like to them that America is still stuck in the stone ages about it, especially with all the military jock weirdos who view gayness as some kind of temptation that a real man must overcome.....which is so GAYYYY!!!
