Lol. You know America really needs to get their heads kicked in. They swan around the world like they are ten men and own the joint but one day someone smaller than them is going come along and snap their jaw and I think it is well over due I just hope it isn%26#039;t muslims because they are just idiots. I hope China and Russia teach the Americans a good lesson and show them that bullies are nothing.

It%26#039;s obvious you were beaten by a bully as a child.

I loved every minute of it.|||GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!! I love my country and yes, I am proud of it!|||I love America!|||All of us real Americans.

It%26#039;s much better than being the Big Sissy from the West; like the Democrats are trying to make us.

Democrats are surrendering to everyone.

Some Democrats have now surrendered to France.|||Nope. Don%26#039;t think I would like being the bully.

The rest of the world, more and more often, views America as a terrorist nation.|||The US has so many problems on US soil.

It is time the US focused on home and stopped Squandering money overseas.|||Yes, I am. I%26#039;m not entirely sure what I am to be ashamed about. Our actual total military spending is around 950 billion a year. I%26#039;m proud of that. Better nukes that feeding lazy people.

Domestically, lol, what kind of crack are you smoking. I know for a fact current American unemployment rates are 3.7% compared to 11% in UK and 14-16% in France, I know all your numbers are bullshit. The only thing you claimed is true is we have the highest jail population of any industrialized nation. Everyone else is the exact opposite. We do not have the highest violent crime rates. We have the highest literacy rates, we have the lowest infant mortality rates, we have the lowest homeless population, the lowest poverty, the lowest unemployment, the highest GDP growth of, the strongest economy, the most money by far, and the most powerful military in the world bar none. Isn%26#039;t it strange how shitty our medical system is... I wonder why all new drugs come out of our system and foreigners who can afford it, come here to have operations and medical care. Gee, it must be because of our shitty medical system. You are spitting smoke, you have no actual sites that would try and claim these numbers.

It%26#039;s alright buddy, I understand your jealousy. It%26#039;s ok, just thank us when we send your yearly aid money.

The world hates us until anything happens, then they are begging for our help or wondering why we don%26#039;t fix all of the world%26#039;s problems. OMG WHY ISN%26#039;T THE US STOPPING THE GENOCIDE IN DARFUR! Why didn%26#039;t they do anything in RAWANDA! OMG! You stopped the genocide in IRAQ?! They hate the dog on top, until the need us.|||If you don%26#039;t like it here then pack your cow poo poo and move to IRAQ|||we%26#039;re killing for jesus.

god cameth and saidith to georgi-%26quot;gather thy fools and steal ye some oil.%26quot;

Georgi--not understanding gods hebrew too well---thought he said something else. No big deal.|||And I suppose I shouldn%26#039;t question your patriotism? I%26#039;ll take being the world%26#039;s biggest bully over being it%26#039;s biggest bunch of cowards any day.|||LOL 50 cent%26#039;s avatar|||OK, and your point is what??? By the way this whole posting of link thing to %26quot;prove answers%26quot; here on Y/A is really goofy.

We can all find links to prove a nonsense theory.

Like the old saying %26quot;Figures don%26#039;t lie, but liars can figure%26quot;.

How come when I ask a question, and site IRS Tax Facts, I get thumbs down and am called a Neo-Con, right wing christian wacko member of the KKK. All I do is go to the source, and quote facts, not screwball links, like the ones that %26quot;prove%26quot; Bush planted the bombs in the WTC.|||YOU better believe it// I fought in 2 wars to give you the right to post this garbage. The world hates us until we start the handouts, then we are the finest people on earth.Maybe we should keep all the handouts here at home %26amp; let them fend for themself %26amp; see how they make out.maybe then they will reconize a good thing when they see it. We may not be doing everything right but we are doing better then them. You dont like what this country does. MOVE with my blessing. I LIKE it here so I guess I will stay.|||Well, while there is something to the difficulties America is facing, at home and abroad, it%26#039;s hardly reasonable to spread that guilt to every resident of the country. Many of us are good people doing the best we can, and it%26#039;s almost like racism to blame us for the ills in our society.

And the bullet points about the domestic issues -- are they supposed to be statistics or what? %26quot;Lowest literacy rates%26quot; among whom? American education can certainly be better, but it looks like we are definitely not lower than, say, India. Or Poland. You forgot Poland!|||I bet you where bullied when you where little you know how many countries America helped and this is how you repay us.|||Moot question.

We are not bullies.
