The real EU. (attempt 2)

[Kaak]

As of late, I have seen increased criticism of the US particularly by those in the EU. This policy of slander seems a bit hypocritical to me, espically when a couple months ago, you were all support. We said then that we were not waging a short term or single sighted war.

I am so sick and tired of reading about how the US is starting to totally suck, and how you freakin hypocrits think we should stop trying to kill terrorists now.

If you disagree, tell me why. I would very much like to know why the US "has started to suck big time," etc. We still do more for the rest of the world than the rest of the world combined. Would you rather us be isolationists and YOU have to foot the bill?

I think your theory on the "small **** syndrome" applies to you very very well

They know the US has habitually ignored them.

But now they've realized that the USA can go tell the rest of the world to ::censored:: up their ::censored::, as it has in the case of iraq, iran, and nk. Worse, they've realized the US military is capable of doing this. They realize that as things are, even in the guise of the EU, Europe is second to the US on the world stage.


Oh, you wanted the real version? Most of it's disturbing hype. Over 90% of the UK, for example, supported America in doign whatever it wanted in Guantanamo. Just another example of how politicians manipulate the issues for their own benefit around the world.

Speaking of politicians, as the EU gains power, are there plans for democratic elections of leaders?

Yes, sounds like he's compensating, doesn't it?

[Kaak]

red: you say that because?
probably because you know what i said is true, and it is very very frustrating.

and from Here:

The ignorance and flat out BS in that artical is disturbing

[Kaak]

hmmm...how exactly would it seem that i am compenstating? because the rediculous BS that keeps popping up angers me? you are both fools.

[red_jon]

Poor Kaak - I guess there ain't a lot to do on the farm than get annoyed by internet threads.

But then you must have things in common with your wife ... her being your sister an' all.

He raises a valid question: Why do all the europeans on this board consider Ameica as a "sucky" (someone else's words) nation?

And you dare to be critical of the people who read the Daily Telegraph?

psss, Europe is the same sh!t as the US. Especially Britain.

Basically we are all sh!t. The only difference is the amount of power. The more power, the more damage.

Personally I have nothing negative against the US. They are a country like everyone other and they do what every other country does.

[Paul Hanson]

You know why I think we criticise America? Jealously. Sheer, green-eyed envy of America. Most of us are too proud to admit that America kicks ten shades of **** into Europe in almost every department.

But then again, this situation isn't helped by a small, but nontheless well-heard group of Americans who have huge hard-ons over their nation and criticise everyone who isn't a sycophant towards the U.S.

In short: both sides are as bad as each other. And until we can all learn to stop being *****, it'll always be like this.

it is just propaganda Kaak, as the EU tries to prep themselves to go from our allies to our competitors

it is all posturing, so that they feel just, it is just national interests

really more dull than the US ones (we for some reason haven't seen that they are gearing up to be a competitor yet, hopefully we will (and people will restrain it) before they start making calls to replace our government for our own 'good')

and besides its about interests. if the interests are different there will be *****in from both sides (US France for example) if the interests are the same there will be corny love (UK - US for example).

also there not 1 europe. there are many. really many.

Just a little upset with someone who should keep ignorant one line quips locked away.
