Congratulations Sir, you have just won the ATS Deny Ignorance Quote of the Day Award! This irrefutable argument has shed light on how Building 7 collapsed and cannot be disputed. Well done! Here is your prize.

I'm not impressed with the states. And frankly, quite fed up with the bullshat, drama and corruption. And what difference does it make where I'm from and what does driving a car have anything to do with this anyway? What's your point?

Yeah, people hate us... Got it.
You said: "And YES your gas guzzling air polluting big ."
So by you using the word "your"... I assume that means there's no cars where you are? I mean, I don't know... You're telling me how awful America is and how we're so hated, and doing all these terrible things... I'm assuming where you live must be a lot better... Your government must have it much more together than we do, right? So what country is that?

And yet how high is it ranked in the list of countries who people wish to immigrate to?
You sound no different than an immigrant that came from a crappy 3rd world country into the US and whines about how hated the US is.

You said SUVs and I merely gave you what you wanted. I don't know why it so important to you what country I live in. This isn't a contest about who's country is better or what cars we drive. It's not even the point. This about ignorant statements you made about Iran.
I never said America is awful either. In fact I'm thinking about booking a little holiday to Los Angeles. America has many great things to offer, beautiful country, great architecture etc. But the irony in your statements about a lunatic country yelling death to america is false. Have you forgotten the revolt that happened last year and how everyone was on the edge of their seat rooting for the 60% citizens who are in the 20's and 30's who are tired of the tyranny? Are you not even aware that all of 2011 has been nothing but revolution in the middle east and N.Africa? Have you forgotten you invaded a country that had absolutely nothing to do with 911, captured their leader and hung him from a pole without a declaration of war? Against the advice of the foreign nations and the UN? Who the Frick does USA think they are? Yes, you are one of the most hated nations on earth, but it's not all about the bad karma you bring, it's also about ideologies and ludovican self-importance.
Your country is falling into its own dictatorship and yet you have the audacity to point fingers? C'mon man, give your head a shake. Clean up your own mess and then you might have a right to bark at other nations. Don't you even see the irony here? You can't sit there straight faced and claim your country has done no harm. If you can, then this is another reason why everyone hates your nation.
Notice that I don't have any problem listing what country I'm from.

Took me a minute or two but your statement contradicts itself. You're trying to imply immigrants are happy to come to the states but in the next sentence you say immigrants come there and hate it. So which is it?

Fair enough, but I'm curious where you get the data showing landed immigrants bad mouth the US in the first place?
After all, you and the other guy I'm debating with have the preconceived notion I am one of those immigrants. Now that you know I'm not, I'm also curious if this has changed your perspective on how the US is generally viewed by non-immigrant outsiders? Kinda changes the pace of your conjecture. Don't you agree?
showed the US to be one of the most hated countries. It is, at the same time, one of the more desired countries to live in, and the mass immigration to the US just proves it.

Lol. You're too easy. Ok champ if it means that much to you. I'm your neighbor fella Canada! One of thee BEST nations to be proud of! Born and raised. Sorry to burst your bubble. I guess you were hoping I was from the middle east. Eh?
The reason I didn't want to say was three-fold. Most importantly, I don't believe in borders and labels when debating anonymously online. Two, this isn't about being a nationalist. And three, you were easy to set-up. So go ahead and tell me about all the horrible things my country has done. You probably can't get past naming one capital city off the top of your head without google, or name the current government opposition.
So much for the whining hypocrite scenario eh? Now you look like the stereo-typical, gun totting USofA redneck.
Notice that I don't have any problem listing what country I'm from.
Because your oblivious to your situation. There is no problem being proud of your nation and be happy to tell others when your travel abroad. But I would bet you my eye and tooth if we were both standing in Baghdad, you would be wanting to trade your jacket for mine.
I've answered your question now you answer mine. Why do you suppose in 2007 according to the BBC poll, US is the third hated nation in the world?
Canada... Yeah, I don't think so. Your English writing has too many weird things in it for you to originally be from Canada... and a person from Canada wouldn't be paranoid about putting where they're from. Want to try again? Your credibility is plummeting by every post.
You're just like the other crybabies always whining about the US. You're just going to keep repeating the same stupid things over and over like a brainwashed zombi, from all the anti US garbage you look at. You've said how much we're hated, like 10 times now. Boring.
So continue on with your hysterical US bashing. Make sure you believe every stupid thing all your anti US websites tell you. You doing stuff like calling me a redneck just proves you're nothing but a hypocrite and a hate monger.
btw... I've been in Iraq, and we both know you'd never have the guts to get anywhere near it.

With or without a gun? If the latter is your answer then I would ask who gave you those guts. hmmm
