I tell you that in order to qualify my next statement, which is... I don't blame the rest of the world for hating us. American imperialism has killed millions of innocent people worldwide. It has stolen resources from the people of many nations, and it has bankrupted our country, which in turn has bankrupted every other country. The petrodollar has been the biggest tool of terrorism over the last 40 years. I love America, at least the idea of what America is supposed to be, but we aren't that. Instead we are the world's bully and the rest of the world is getting sick of it, and I don't blame them. Have a nice day
edit* The reason I did 13 years is because it was at that time I came to the realize the truth about how the US military is used, and I wanted no part of it anymore, and so I got out instead of doing another 7 years and retiring.edit on 1-3-2013 by OptimusSubprime because: (no reason given)

I couldn't agree more but still don't judge the masses from a gov't that is out of control. When these other countries can't get there own affairs in order yet alone dictate to us how we should conduct our. And them chattering off the lip about how bad we are has more than worn out it's welcome.
If any of your countries were switched with America and you were the world power, do you think your gov't would be any different? If you say yes I would like to hear proof.

Your boring rhetoric of the condition of the United States and how we should conduct our business is well worn out. Factually, what makes your country so great? Please enlighten this American? Please tell ATS what your country is doing to better the world? Tell me what your country is doing to fix the Economic problems that's not just in the US but has engulfed the world? Tell me please~! You call us murderer's, hardly. If one person actions could speak for the whole, I can make some pretty nasty assumptions about you people and the counries you reside in as well. In fact your negativity only breeds negativity, unless that's what you wanted your doing a great job with it!~ Bravo for being the prime example of how not to conduct yourself! This young American comends your blatent ignorance

I hear you, but it is the masses that keeps electing the same imperialist politicians. When the rest of the world sees that the people of America are serious then perhaps they will start to change their opinion of us. For example, Ron Paul being elected would have been a good start, or maybe if American's stopped blindly supporting the eugenics loving Zionist government of Israel
Your boring rhetoric of the condition of the United States and how we should conduct our business is well worn out.

Beezer star for Vets! And critisizm is always welcomed and if a Sailor/Marine or Navy serviceman wants to criticize the country they served by all means. If anyone deserves that right is you sir. However negativity breeds only hate.
Americans should be "bashed" until they wake the hell up, and smell the capitalist chit that's being spread militarily around the world. But not just America, France, Britain, and all the nations that have been meddling in the affairs of other nations in order to spread their agenda of a one world capitalist economy.
