How do's it feel?

That is the whole point of my post..I dont care what the world thinks of America.

We have fed them, freed them, rebuilt them and removed the threat of soviet communism and nazi-ism from the world stage. How soon the world forgets.

I care what the world thinks of America. It's a small world that everyone has to live in.

Because we have helped the rest of the world from time to time does not mean that anyone has a right to diminish other people, or put them down.
They are after all people. Degrading comments about Chinese people doesn't mean you are a better person, or America in general. It means you are rude.

Reminds me when I was in Greece back in 1981. Reagan had just been inaurgerated. Already there was grafiti on walls calling Reagan a gangster. LOL. Silly people from the heart of the birth of western civilization.

Much food for serious thought.
Thank you.

If you look around you, you see the Constiution ripped to tatters, the Anthem is a joke in that the words (beautiful song, btw.) are a slap in the face of every American by the "powers that be" the words meant something not so long ago, but now with every American, more or less, a prisoner, who could at the drop of a hat, have his job taken away from him, his home, car, passport, do's it not seem a joke?

That is something I am trying to get at here... Some say get your own problems sorted out first, then take on the problems in the World.

"Only the scared and weak among our citizens care if the rest of the world likes us or not."

Those people are def. not scared or weak, they are thinkers who look forward, do you think that the problems America face today, have come about because you Americans are so ready to help the rest of the World, it sounds ungrateful, I know, but in alot of cases, American wasn't asked for in the first place.

"We have fed them, freed them, rebuilt them and removed the threat of soviet communism and nazi-ism from the world stage. How soon the world forgets."

Yes you have, and a lot of people wouldn't be around today without it.
But
There was always a price we had to pay... please do not be so short sighted about that.

Thanks for the input...l
Maybe a few people here should get the lyrics and try to relate to what I am trying to get across, there is no bad intent on my behalf, just seeking "truths" from the man in the street.

I found these three threads in about 1 minute of searching. The First two are almost identical to this thread. The third is just one example of the ever popular "bash the dirty Americans for everything" generic model.

Why isn't this thread closed yet? There are plenty othrers still active that have the same intent and results.

If ATS wants to preserve server capacity, why not start by closing these crap duplicate threads instead of taking away a feature that many of us everday contributors rely on..... the "my posts". link?
