America's Greatest Ally

[Elok]

Israel is the only true ally the US has in the middle east.

Yeah, but what is it getting us? They don't have oil, they piss off the Muslims and we're paying mucho dinero to arm them. They don't even listen anymore, they're like some ******* teenager.

[Barnabas]

Well, we have a lot in common with the French. We fear and mistreat Muslims, we rest on an unquestioned and unjustified sense of our own cultural superiority...okay, that's all I can think of. Maybe if I actually knew something about modern France?


You despise us; why the hell are you arguing for that particular honor?

The America independence and the french revolution are in a way "sister" revolutions

France is the euro country in which ethnicity has less to do with your blood and ancestry, it is about some idea of frenchness, kinda like being american
And it has received lots of immigrants since the XIX century, not only the current north africans and blacks, but also spaniards, italians, poles, pieds noirs, in that way it is more similar to the USA than other euro countries.

I'm not disagreeing with you Doc, but the inconsistency and abusiveness of your administration really make close alliance with the US fairly poisonous in recent years. And this crap with Obama certainly doesn't help our perspective on this as a nation.

[Hauldren Collider]

They really aren't the reason the muslims hate us.

If it makes you feel better, Obama's not overwhelmingly popular here either.

[Barnabas]

Yeah, they hate your freedom

[Hauldren Collider]

Yeah, they hate your freedom

More specifically they hate the fact that we aren't Muslim and are also the current hegemony. Though that's probably simplifying a bit too.

[Docfeelgood]

You are kind of retarded. And racist.

Why don't you tell everybody here something that they allready don't know.
you really don't know who you are trying to insult.

[Provost Harrison]

If it makes you feel better, Obama's not overwhelmingly popular here either.

I had observed, it looks like he will be the first president in some time who will not get a second term.

Brother I agree.
I quote " I love my country but hate my government"

The father of that son of a bush only served one term.

[Elok]

They really aren't the reason the muslims hate us.

They're not the only reason, no. But when they keep shoving Arabs into concrete cages while we stand by and line up to lick their sacks, it kinda makes us look bad. And yes, other Arab nations use the Palestinians in a very cynical way, but dammit, it's working. An alliance should be something at least vaguely resembling an equal partnership. Our "relationship" with Israel is simply demeaning.

[Provost Harrison]

Ah yeah, I suppose Bush Sr only did do one term now I think about it.

But yeah, I think this is the same impression we always get about our governments. Our beloved Blair and Brown managed to do a right screw-up on our economy. Should provide us with a lot of fun for many years...

[Elok]

I was a teenager at the time, but Clinton still doesn't strike me as a terrible president. Maybe that's just rose-tinted spectacles from that idyllic age when we could afford to spend months obsessing over smelly cigars.

[Asher]

Do I need to have a moment of silence to mourn Asher's pride in Canada's military? Sorry dude, reality is that the US could squash Canada like a bug. But it's ok, because we're friends, even if you're a dick.

Of course the US could squash Canada like a bug. The population difference is enormous.

But you don't seem to be able to comprehend what I'm saying. Even without the USA south of us, you're an epic ****** if you think Canada would be invaded.

It's typical American arrogance that thinks it's only the USA that is keeping the world safe. The world has moved well beyond organized, massive militaries and the US still hasn't gotten the memo. While the rest of the world puts government resources into improving the lives of its citizens, the American government pours it into weaponry to kill people on the other side of the world.

It's quite sad.
