When?

When will Europe give America the "respect" it deserves?
When will Europe say "thank you" America for "rescuing" us from "ourselves" in World War 2?
When will Europe finally face the hard truth that "communism" and "socialism" was an empty promise and they must finally get off their lazy butts and actually "work" at a "job" to earn "money"?

I could go on but talking to ignorant "eurocrats" would be wasting precious air.

Why would you start if you arn't going to finish?

When will nationalism and parochialism and sweeping generalization parading as social commentary be a thing of the past on discussion forums?

When will people stop misusing terms like "communism" and "socialism"?

When will people reject general abuse and insult as an acceptable form of communication used by people who feel protected by anonymity?

When? Calculation, When we burn up the earth. Thanks for the global disaster, America. We get blamed for everything, I feel like Charlie Brown who lost the red haired girl.
Just kidding, I do know what you mean. On the bright side, not all of them hate us.

As long as the U.S. is a wealthy, powerful country we'll be hated no matter what we do.

Anyway this thread probably belongs in the Rant section of BTS more than War on Terrorism.

And what do you think that that means?

I beleive that their respective governments have often thanked the US for their efforts.

When will Europe finally face the hard truth that "communism" and "socialism" was an empty promise and they must finally get off their lazy butts and actually "work" at a "job" to earn "money"?

Since even an extreme form of socialism seems to be working well enough in France...

GI Wolves, I would just like to openly state that, as a foreigner (not American), I do not hate you at all and think it would be in your best interest to know that I never will hate you. Why? because you are a nobody, a civilian, somebody I will never meet, or have any benefit of knowing. Ditto to Camp.

So you are correct, not everybody hates you. Why would we waste our time hating you? Who are you?

"you have to EARN respect to GET respect"
so lets look at what can we respect in this american country?
what are you refering to? what do we NEED to give you respect for?
for killing all the indians? for enslaving the black people?
mcdonalds? coca cola? holywood? hip hop music?
or maybe, all the peace you have spread across the planet after ww2?
korea, vietnam, gulf wars part one and part two?
that really deserves respect!

ok, you have "rescued" part of europe, and if you havent arrived i am sure the BIG russian army would wipe the german armies sooner or later from the face of europe. the only diffrence would be, that we here would all speak russian now. but im better RED than DEAD!
and you were not "rescuing us from ourselves", but "rescuing" us from a mad man, that caused all that carnage.
ok, thank you for that.
happy now?

what do you know about socialism? what do you know about communism?
did you live behind the "iron curtain" for fifty years?
just funny to me, how people get "smart" when they are talking about things, they "read about somewhere", but havent seen or experienced them by themselves.
hmm, but then again, i see you are one of those mr.know-it-all's.
wont get in that thick skull of yours.
that is really a waste of time.

May be wrong, but I do not think the Americans were actually willing participants to WWII.
