Every major world power in history has acted the same way. It is only natural for a dominant economic power to reach out and protect or control the resources that its dominance relies on. The US is better than most in the fact that usually billions in other type of aid befalls these countries.

Yeah yeah, so much for 'US Exceptionalism', that whole "we're not like all those nasty old empires from the nasty old world, we're shinny and new and inherently good and just and true" bollocks the rest of the world has to put up with from your country. Every empire can justify it's imperialism by saying 'Oh but we build lots of roads everywhere and our forts keep the peace', that's no more then the Romans could say.

Empires protect their interests, the Mafia protects its interests, Serial-Killers protect their interests, and Neo-Colonialist Empires like the USA protects its interests. I'm interested in my neigbours wife and daughter and car and teevee too, all of my neibours things are interesting to me, and therefore they are in my interests.

As for the aid that 'befalls' those nations the US screws over, the word 'befall' is quite apt. We're usually talking billions of dollars of military and security aid so the US-backed puppet regimes can better oppress and control their people and crush out all those populist 'We Will Educate Your Children & Supply Medicine & Food'-type movements that are so popular down there in the lands of ignorant and ungrateful anti-Western savages.

The US actually contributes the least food-aid of any nation in the world considering it's size and wealth etc. Norway contributes more then the US, well done Norway, but you don't hear all those fur-wrapped blondes boasting in a loud voice about how generous and good they are all the time, while raining bombs on civilian populations, wrecking 3rd-world nations, poisoning their lands for generations to come, and thinking it's good that they kill torture and maim a little less thousands then undisguised Tyrants do.

Did someone say something? I was busy enjoying in the warm, comforting feeling that comes with being different from and better than every other nationality on the planet...

[problem_child]

Okay Drake, you carry on being Drake.

Personaly just I'm enjoying the warm comfy feeling of superiority (marred only a little by Lying Tony) that comes from not having been born in America, from not being Ignorant, and not being a big fat SUV-chugging burger-eater who consumes my way through sixty percent of the worlds resources and whose violent gun-swamped culture has no civic spirit whatsoever (nor understanding of the concept) and executes and imprisons more of it's own people then Iran and China combined, which adds generously to it's history steeped in slavery and genocide to put a very Orwellian spin indeed to the term 'Land of the Free'.

*Not that all Americans are ignorant, but alot are considering the power they have to enlighten themselves compared to some goat-herdsman somewhere who is provided with roughly the same amount of world-knowledge and history as many Americans provide themselves with.

[Drake Tungsten]

God, being American sure is great...

[Drake Tungsten]

I think the best part of being American is the jealously every other nationality feels towards you. It's great having your superiority proven by other people's envious curses...

! Holy Carp Jake, say what you will about me and call me nasty names but one thing: Do. Not. Ever. call me jelous of Americans.

What the Christ were you thinking!?

There is nothing so wrong with my life that I am jelous of not being born American. Likewise I hope I will never feel so much pain and despair as to become someone who believes in god.

When did I say I was talking about you? Seems like I inadvertantly hit upon the truth...

[Arrian]

Both of you are being jerks.[/Captain Obvious]

OT: Withdrawl good. Cold War over. Many people don't want us there anyway. Other places we can go. Should withdraw from SK as well.

Well if you weren't talking about me then okay then.

No inadvertant truth hitting upon occured here, carry on with your Draking.

[Drake Tungsten]

Both of you are being jerks.

You're just jealous of my American-ness...

Disagree. Drake is trolling very skillful, and PC is being his poor victim, now that is obvious.

Not so, playing Toro! Toro! with American patriots is educational and fun.

[Harovan]

Will you guys stop to distract me from my work now??!?

[Arrian]

The difference, PC, is that your posts are long and involved, but end up being on the same level of jackassery as Drake's one-liners. So in a sense Sir Ralph is correct.

edit: Oh, bah, Sir Ralph! We Americans know that your Eurocoms don't actually do any work! Unlike me, of course. I'm working hard right now. Or is it hardly working?
