First got introduced during “Whoopi” and glad to say this is probably the best comedian America has never heard of. Get this!

The guy is English and middle-class, most of his jokes are about socially awkward situations and getting your kids into good schools.

Afghanistan, the Taliban were not removed, simply pushed back into thier grottos in Kandahar. They regrouped and came back stronger than before, just as AlQaeda did. In fact, there are known AlQaeda sects all over the world, including known AlQaeda living and plotting INSIDE the USA. While they look to fight that enemy elsewhere and take people’s minds away from reality, they are facing certain doom again.

Canada has taken over in Afghanistan it is up and down but seemingly moving forward slowly but surely.

No, you are wrong again, sir. You HAVE tried playing neutral before, it was during WWI. Except America’s idea of neutrality was supplying the Germans with cotton to create gunpowder to kill the Allies, and then supplying the Allies with arms.

(The exact same thing you tried to stop foreign countries doing with Iraq for so long, dual purpose goods an all that. You also encouraged that “illegal” trade yyourselves by trying to buy oil from other countries as Iraq will not supply you, forcing smaller countries to trade with ‘dual purpose goods’ and breching sanctions that the US had imposed on Iraq by themselves.)

Essentially, America’s decision to not participate, was also a reason WWI didn’t end sooner, and it resulted in unresolved issues after the war which ultimately came to WWII. Just another reason Europeans did not want America to have anything to do with the war. So, in essence, if you HAD kept your hands to yourself as Allies had begged you to do, the world would have been a better place, millions fewer men, women and children would have died and WWII probably wouldn’t have happened at all.

I don’t know what kinda fancy book learnin’ y’all been gettin’ but it sher aint right.

No they wouldn’t, again it was 4 years before you were involved with any real effort, that they had already FAILED at conquering Western Europe, turned tail and targeted Rusia instead. Rusiian then did a great job at defeating THAT invasion too. D-Day was the beginning of liberation, the invasions had already taken place. Don’t see this as me stating that the US didn’t play an integral part towards the liberation of Western Europe. I’m just saying that whole bassackward mentality that was so common for years, “America won the war and without America, Europeans would all be speaking German” is just hogwash, and the world knows it, well apparently MOST of the world does.

So unless you can change history and prove that America saved Western Europe I’d say you don’t have a point there.

“someone is always wanting our help for something” That’s life for any free and prosperous country, it is the same in England, Australia, Canada etc. There is always someone in need, an allied country is where they look, it’s not just America. Most other countries are obligated by association to help out, America does so as well but as it is not an obligation it is seen as such a hand out. Forgetting that America relies heavily on the rest of the world to survive too.

Anyhow, this political crap doesn’t belong here either.
Enjoy your day.

All im saying is the world cant have it both ways, beg help one minute and condemn us the next for doing that exact same thing. We cant please every country in the world all the time, if we do get involved in a foreign issure it will absolutely piss some country off, If were to choose not to get involved in that same event it would also piss different group of countries off.

So heres the point someone is always wanting our help for something, so that inturn upsets other countries, So at any given time there is going to be a group of countries somewhere in the world that is upset. Just makes us an easy target.

all i can say is god help the rest of the world if the U.S. ever publicly declared that our official stance on all foriegn matters was of nuetrality, meaning we wont get involve in any matters outside of North America cause all hell will break loose.

So madnezz i dont know where ur from and it doesnt matter, im not here to bash any country just like most other americans wouldnt, i think if u were to step back anylize the good things that we have done in the world vs. the bad i think we arent as bad as u might think, by no means are we perfect but we’re not so bad either

In WWI, you supported and supplied Germany while also supporting Western Europe. Thus playing out the war, as it neared an end, America (against allied wishes) joined and carried it out. This is also ultimately the reason for unsettled issues and WWII to begin with.

After failing to take England, Germany went to Russia where they met superior force and ultimately lost the war. Americas and allies had meanwhile liberated Western Europe from the thinning German troops.

Antiquated US history will not support your argument these days.

Yes, as a trading partner with the US, Canada does gain economic strength, but remember, the US is not a major exporter, relying a great deal on imports in order to function. While it would hurt the Canadian economy to lose trade with the US, Canada does have a large allied base and cam trade with other countries too. The US, always pushing for independence, has reduced that ability to do so and would not have the resources either. It would harm both sides, not just the side you “cut off”.

No offense intended, just reality.

I’m out, cheers.

agian. WOW. your a douchebag.

Just as it is always the biggest loudmouth in the bar that gets challenged and beaten up, usually by someone half his size, America gets the same.

By shooting off their mouth about might and superiority, some Americans even believe everyone wants to MOVE to America and others are just jealous because they are not American, they open themselves up to the most criticism.

If Americans were more self aware, looked and accepted their own downfalls as other do, kept power and a desire to be superior to themselves, then nobody would have a problem.

But again, as Americans spout off about how superior they are, and then fall flat on their face in front of the world, it is natural that the world laughs at America. It has been brought up on them by themselves, I’ve lived there and I’ve worked there, but chose not to join the crowd when it came to believing a screwed up country is superior to others which are also just as screwed up but not pretending otherwise.

Just the little things like, if you don’t like everything American then you are antiAmerican is what gets to most people. Everyone else is free to question and laugh at their F****d up governments, but you do that toward America’s government and they call it unpatriotic, anti-American, Bush hating. Ahhh, land of the free, freedom of speech, as long as it isn’t against America.

Hypocrisy and constant mistakes don’t equate to perfection, but so many Americans still believe they are perfect and out to fix the world. Always looking out and never looking in, that’s why people thumb their noses at America.
