"What We Think of America."

[Dom Pedro II]

Yes. I laugh. I laugh so that I should not cry at the ignorance just 60 years after the fact.

How many million people died to defeat that evil? Many times more died than were American.

Why do people feel it necessary to squabble over who deserves the biggest bit of praise? Were it not for Russian determination and American industry, as well as British cussedness the only thing safe to say is that the world would be different today. Count your blessings.

Beautifully said.

I don't know how this thread became another WWII pissing contest but I'll try to get it back on track.

I really have a love/hate relationship with the U.S. On the one hand I can't stand the double standards that my country has encouraged not only in the world but here. We have the richest people in the world along with the poorest in the industrialized world. Our politcians go on about how other countries need to strive for freedom and democracy while at the same time promoting dictatorships. And there is truly nothing worse than all the monkeys running around with American flags calling themselves "patriots" when they can't do anything as simple as vote.

On the other hand America has really shown that freedom and democracy do work and has destroyed a potentially dangerous system in the Soviet Union. We have also created a world where ideals like individualism, free-speech, free-press, and oppurtunity are in vogue. In short I love America's ideals just not how we're living up to those ideals.

Serbia is a small slavic country in the balkans.

Siberia is spelt with an "I," and refers broadly to the wide, cold expanses west of the ural mountains and north of Turkistan, Russia, and Mongolia. Owned by the russians.

Oh thank you very much, but I alredy noticed and fixed this error. "y" and "i" it's the same sound in Russian.

How's the frostbite?

I don't know. It's summer now. But, you right it's damn cold here now only +28C. Very cold teperature for July.

BTW. I admire the US for it's ideals. I laugh at the follies. I weep for the mistakes.

/Edit. Most of all, I thank some higher authority they are on 'my' side.

[Dom Pedro II]

WOW... you're quite eloquent tonight, notyoueither.

[notyoueither]

Beer.

[KrazyHorse]

Is good.

[notyoueither]

And good for you.

[KrazyHorse]

I want beer now. But I don't have any, and the stores are closed.

[Dom Pedro II]

Ok, forget what I just said before...

[Dan Severn]

Jack.


Is Better.


Heh heh heh.

[KrazyHorse]

Drinking Jack on a weeknight is sufficient grounds to worry about being an alcoholic.

Teach you to live where it is too late to get beer.

Common! Ernest did his best stuff from the bottom of a bottle. Can't hold the muse against the artist.

Well, I don't have a job, either, so what's it matter?

I'll run tomorrow.

So I can be tired.

And sleep next night.
