Let me apologize in advance to all the decent American bros on this board before I launch into this. It is aimed at all the armchair warriors in this thread.
Lets talk about pussies, my friend. Isn't ignorance bliss!? Take a look at your fine country right now at this time in human history. It has perpetrated and/or initiated more violence over the past two and a half centuries than any other country on this planet. You also have the highest incarceration rate, per capita, in the world. Land of the Free!? You teach your kids that if you don't like someone else's attitude then go over to THEIR country (or neighbourhood) and fuck them up, and then, when they slap you back in the face in self defence then just nuke them. Nothing like a good ass whipping! Join the marines and serve your country. "Hey Billy Bob have you seen what this rocket launcher can do.....it's just like a video game."
The biggest joke is not that the US government thinks that it's the world's foundation of morality and justice, it is actually that we allow you to get away with it, even when we see George W's nose growing longer by the day. Al Qaeda is just a figment of your politician's imagination to keep you folk 'grazing through the pastures in the Land of the Free' like sheep guided by their shepherd. The problem is that your 'shepherd' has his balls in a vice and the tension on his nuts is controlled by the banks, corporations and lobbies that fund the puppet show.
With regards looking to your government for guidance and law and order, take a look at it now. Is this not anarchy?
Your kids 'are only pussies' (according to you) because you send them off to institutions called school, college and the military for unilateral brainwashing in the name of becoming 'a better person' You forego your responsibilty as parents and feel that any 'abnormal' behavior needs medication or bootcamp. It's amazing that kids that have been put on your wonder medications seem to think that mowing down their classmates with an automatic weapon is a solution to their repressed anger....and maybe a part in Natural Born Killers 2.
Take responsibility for your youth and show them love, not Prozac, Ritalin or an Uzi. Progressive evolution (extropy) doesn't come in a capsule or a 9mm cartridge. It comes from the heart not our egos.
Peace. Now!
He's right, in the last 250 years we have caused the most pain and death in the world, it's true just look at history.
Like, for example;
The Revolutionary War - We shoulda sat that one out, it was the right of the British to tax us, we should have let them keep their rule over their American Colonies, we started that one.
The Napoleonic Wars - It was America that engineered Napoleons take-over of France and ensuing conquest of Europe, not the French.
400,000 TOTAL Russian dead and/or missing
400,000 TOTAL Prussian dead and/or missing
~200,000 TOTAL Austrian dead and/or missing
~300,000 TOTAL Spanish dead and/or missing
200,000 TOTAL British dead and/or missing
The war of 1812, the American side of it, 4400 died....
How Bout Frederick the Greats Conquests? That must have been us too
I can't find a casualty count on all his wars against France, Austria and Russia, but these were probably caused by Americans....
Then of course there is World War One. The Serbian Assasination of Austrian Archduke Ferdinand must have been orchestrated by Americans...
That one led to ;
5,520,000 Allied Deaths
4,386,000 Axis Deaths
We stayed out of the war till the tail end, but it was probably our fault too.
And World War Two, Are we too blame for the millions upon millions the Japanese killed during ethnic cleansings in Manchuria? How bout Pearl Harbor, did we start that war???
And what about Hitler, is the blood he shed on American hands? It is our fault, we shouldn't have stopped the holocaust, but somehow those 6 million jews and millions of Russian, German, British, Italian and French soldiers who died must be the fault of the US. And how about the millions who were killed in Stalin's death camps?...
Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Spanish American War, and the Mexican American War add up to a fraction of the casualties of any one of the "great" European wars above. It's the Europeans who took mass slaughter to a whole new level. The only American conflict that holds a candle to the European conflicts was the Civil War but even then it was nothing compared to the great European wars, and besides, that was a domestic dispute so mind your own fukin business.
But your right, America obviously has caused more death and destruction than anyone else in the world.
