If professor Quigly ... By: MrMal777. on 30 Apr 12, 15:37:10 If professor Quigly is Right (Tragedy and Hope) then its not an American" empire; rather, a Money Trust empire. All of the major European powers (including Pirates of the Caribbean) competed? for the Americas. Moreover, Native Americans fought among themselves-just like the Europeans always have. The noble savage is also manish. The proposition "all have sinned" is as inductively established as gravity.
Charity and armed ... By: astroboomboy. on 27 Apr 12, 08:35:19 Charity and armed forces has nothing to do with the Coup D'etat of Iran, support to Saudi-Arabia (see you don't even answer any of my critiques). The only thing you could muster up was some vague things like: We Americuuuns give to charity,? yeah, wee the best, yeee, deemocracyyy, whoo, Bush, Jesus, yeah. That's all I could hear, so go ahead and do some better things.
Frankly thats ... By: bogmire777. on 27 Apr 12, 02:56:45 Frankly thats insulting, politics is about as objective as thing get, and to deny that the US is moral is contrary to facts, the United States give more money to charity than any other country, and send out? armed forces to help out with natural disasters. The rise of democracy is due near entirely to the United States. I can see that you are an atheist and a bleeding heart, one of the many people slowly eating away at western culture like a cancer. This conversation is over, I have things to do.
Like I said, if you ... By: astroboomboy. on 26 Apr 12, 22:15:59 Like I said, if you want to be the face of American patriotism that's fine by me, I? don't buy into it though, and more and more people worldwide is realizing the adverse effect US foreign policy has had. Particularly in the last 20 years, but starting from 1945. If you can't see that, fine by me, we are all entitled to our opinions as politics isn't an objective science, it's based on morals and values, and my values does not reflect yours.
Having an economy ... By: astroboomboy. on 26 Apr 12, 22:13:28 Having an economy that produces? technology has nothing to do with foreign policy, or are you equating the two? There are several studies showing a steady decline in American middle class, you still being one makes you lucky. As for spending, the country I live in has a much higher average income and spending than yours, most of Europe do.
Ok, first of all, ... By: bogmire777. on 26 Apr 12, 21:42:13 Ok, first of all, pretty much all of the technology you use in your everyday life was invented in the United States or perfected in the United States, thanks to big corps. Also, from 1945-1991 the United Sates was pretty much the only thing keeping the USSR from expanding. As for a decline in the middle class, Im middle class, and I live in one of the few countries where I can afford to be wasteful, Im oat? saying being wasteful is a good thing, but I can do it, most people in the world cant.
So overall I think ... By: astroboomboy. on 26 Apr 12, 09:18:10 So overall I think that after 1945 the? US has caused more damage than good, and I don't see your gov. actions as neither being good for the international community nor good for your own people. I mean, you are the richest country in the world, but yet there has been a steady decline in the middle class since the 70s. Your political system seems also to be run by big corps, and the debates aren't even about any issues anymore, just about gays, abortion and values. Reality seems to have left.
I don't blame the ... By: astroboomboy. on 26 Apr 12, 09:14:09 I don't blame the US alone, but had it not been for the coup in 53' there most likely would be a secular gov. in Iran today (Iran is the least religious people in the region after Israel according to a rapport by Pew). The fact that US props up Saudi-Arabia though is in my book bordering on the extreme. SA has been the major supporter of global terrorism since the 80s, is the most extreme regime? in the world, and has through its Wahabi ideology created more extremists than any country.
There are very few ... By: bogmire777. on 26 Apr 12, 09:03:08 There are very few people who would argue that the 1953 Iran incident was a good thing. I was never claiming that the United States is perfect, but no country ever is. However, to blame the Iran government entirely on the United States is unfair, seeing as it is quite similar to the governments of other middle-eastern countries, just more extreme. I also believe that Scandinavia is just about the only place with the right ingredients to make a socialist government work. It does not? always work.
The reason Norway ... By: astroboomboy. on 26 Apr 12, 08:08:52 The reason Norway is successful is that it went against American advices and advisors in the 70s when they pushed us as hard as possible to privatize our oil (at least this is a major reason for our extreme wealth, not just socialism and educated people). My father is Iranian, and our family fled Iran? in the 50s after the US removed a popular and democratic government in 1953. If that had not happened I doubt we would have a theocracy in Iran today.
Well if you are ... By: bogmire777. on 26 Apr 12, 00:08:52 Well if you are Norwegian, like your channel says, Norway is one of the most successful countries in the world in terms of standard of? living, and proof the socialism can work with small groups of well-educated people. However, that is not to say socialism would work in the U.S. If you believe Iran is anything but a blight on humanity, we obviously have very different views. Iran lies to their people, and suppresses them with unfair laws. I have family in Norway, it is a wonderful place.
Also I'm not ... By: astroboomboy. on 25 Apr 12, 23:38:00 Also I'm not American, so obviously I don't reap the benefits of America when my country has been ruined partly thanks to American politics in the 50s, and its politics today which is completely dictated by Israel when it comes to Iran. So the benefits of America might apply to you, they certainly don't? apply to me.
Well, let's say I? ... By: astroboomboy. on 25 Apr 12, 23:36:20 Well, let's say I? don't share that conviction, and I have a very different perspective on things (as do most of the world outside the US). I don't consider reinstating dictators in countries like Iran against the will of the people, and supporting the biggest supporter of Islamic terrorism (Saudi-Arabia) as unimportant. If you do, ok, but I consider these things to be of the utmost importance, and past actions do not remedy current politics.
Then why does the ... By: bogmire777. on 25 Apr 12, 21:35:55 Then why does the U.S. give more aid to other countries yearly than any other country in history? Every Empire has ideals,? morals, and ethics, your view is incredibly skewed, the Roman empire had ideals and ethics, they may not have been your idea of whats ethical, but they certainly had ideals. Like most anti-Americans, your statement is completely void of any historical reasoning.
What I'm saying is ... By: bogmire777. on 25 Apr 12, 21:33:41 What I'm saying is that the United States has had a positive influence on the world over all, and by imposing force and weakening inferior cultures and governments, Fascism, Communism, Radical Islam, ect, we help the entire world towards Democracy. What Im saying is Im sick of the whiny bleeding hearts who make these retarded videos when the small evils in America are so unimportant when compared to the greater? evils of the world. Especially while the reap the benefits of being an American.
If the Nazis had ... By: astroboomboy. on 25 Apr 12, 13:14:50 If the Nazis had won the war they would say the same things you are saying. No one is saying America is not a great country, but being great does not mean that a country is entitled to use force in order to enforce its will on others. "Go live somewhere else" so your saying that we should have? a dictatorship where free speech means nothing, that no one should criticize the bad things of their country?
I have no other word to explain your view than moronic.

Thanks? for confirming once again how the Limbaugh/RNC/Foxnews noise machine works: 1) Pillpopper boy makes up a false story to fit into his own prejudices, as he says here a PBS special ruined the sport of baseball. 2) Dittoheads like you repeat it over and over like caged do-do birds. 3) Rinse and repeat

If professor Quigly ... By: MrMal777. on 30 Apr 12, 15:37:10 If professor Quigly is Right (Tragedy and Hope) then its not an American" empire; rather, a Money? Trust empire. All of the major European powers (including Pirates of the Caribbean) competed for the Americas. Moreover, Native Americans fought among themselves-just like the Europeans always have. The noble savage is also manish. The proposition "all have sinned" is as inductively established as gravity.
Charity and armed ... By: astroboomboy. on 27 Apr 12, 08:35:19 Charity and armed forces has nothing to do with the Coup D'etat of Iran, support to Saudi-Arabia (see you don't even answer any of my critiques). The only thing you could muster up was some vague things like: We Americuuuns give to charity,? yeah, wee the best, yeee, deemocracyyy, whoo, Bush, Jesus, yeah. That's all I could hear, so go ahead and do some better things.
Frankly thats ... By: bogmire777. on 27 Apr 12, 02:56:45 Frankly thats insulting, politics is about as objective as thing get, and to deny that the US is moral is contrary to facts, the United States give more money to charity than any other country, and send out armed forces to help out? with natural disasters. The rise of democracy is due near entirely to the United States. I can see that you are an atheist and a bleeding heart, one of the many people slowly eating away at western culture like a cancer. This conversation is over, I have things to do.
Like I said, if you ... By: astroboomboy. on 26 Apr 12, 22:15:59 Like I said, if you want to be the face of American patriotism that's fine by me, I don't buy into it though, and more and more people worldwide is realizing the adverse effect US foreign policy has had. Particularly in the last 20 years, but starting from 1945. If you can't see that, fine by me, we are? all entitled to our opinions as politics isn't an objective science, it's based on morals and values, and my values does not reflect yours.
Having an economy ... By: astroboomboy. on 26 Apr 12, 22:13:28 Having an economy that produces technology has nothing to do with foreign policy, or are you equating the two? There are several studies showing a steady decline in American middle class, you still being one makes you lucky. As for spending, the country I live in has a much higher average income and spending than yours, most of Europe? do.
Ok, first of all, ... By: bogmire777. on 26 Apr 12, 21:42:13 Ok, first of all, pretty much all of the technology you use in your everyday life was invented in the United States or perfected in the United States, thanks to big corps. Also, from 1945-1991? the United Sates was pretty much the only thing keeping the USSR from expanding. As for a decline in the middle class, Im middle class, and I live in one of the few countries where I can afford to be wasteful, Im oat saying being wasteful is a good thing, but I can do it, most people in the world cant.
So overall I think ... By: astroboomboy. on 26 Apr 12, 09:18:10 So overall I think that after 1945 the US has caused more damage than good, and I don't see your gov. actions as neither being good for the international community nor good for your own people. I mean, you are the richest country in the world, but yet there has been a steady decline in the middle class since the 70s. Your political system seems? also to be run by big corps, and the debates aren't even about any issues anymore, just about gays, abortion and values. Reality seems to have left.
I don't blame the ... By: astroboomboy. on 26 Apr 12, 09:14:09 I don't blame the US alone, but had it not been for the coup in 53' there most likely would be a secular gov. in Iran today (Iran is the least religious people in the region after Israel according to a rapport by Pew). The fact that US props up Saudi-Arabia though is in my book bordering on? the extreme. SA has been the major supporter of global terrorism since the 80s, is the most extreme regime in the world, and has through its Wahabi ideology created more extremists than any country.
There are very few ... By: bogmire777. on 26 Apr 12, 09:03:08 There are very few people who would argue that the 1953 Iran incident was a good thing. I was never claiming that the United States is perfect, but no country ever is. However, to blame the Iran government entirely on the United States is unfair, seeing as it is quite similar to the governments of other middle-eastern countries, just more extreme. I also believe that Scandinavia is just about the only place with the right ingredients to make a socialist government work. It does not? always work.
The reason Norway ... By: astroboomboy. on 26 Apr 12, 08:08:52 The reason Norway is successful is that it went against American advices and advisors in the 70s when they pushed us as hard as possible to privatize our oil (at least this is a major reason for our extreme wealth, not? just socialism and educated people). My father is Iranian, and our family fled Iran in the 50s after the US removed a popular and democratic government in 1953. If that had not happened I doubt we would have a theocracy in Iran today.
Well if you are ... By: bogmire777. on 26 Apr 12, 00:08:52 Well if you are Norwegian, like your channel says, Norway is one of the most successful countries in the world in terms of? standard of living, and proof the socialism can work with small groups of well-educated people. However, that is not to say socialism would work in the U.S. If you believe Iran is anything but a blight on humanity, we obviously have very different views. Iran lies to their people, and suppresses them with unfair laws. I have family in Norway, it is a wonderful place.
Also I'm not ... By: astroboomboy. on 25 Apr 12, 23:38:00 Also I'm not American, so obviously I don't reap the benefits of America when my country has been ruined? partly thanks to American politics in the 50s, and its politics today which is completely dictated by Israel when it comes to Iran. So the benefits of America might apply to you, they certainly don't apply to me.
Well, let's say I ... By: astroboomboy. on 25 Apr 12, 23:36:20 Well, let's say I don't share that conviction, and I have a very different perspective on things (as do most of the world outside the US). I don't consider reinstating dictators in countries like Iran against the will of the people, and supporting the biggest supporter of Islamic terrorism (Saudi-Arabia) as unimportant. If you do, ok, but I consider these things to be of the utmost? importance, and past actions do not remedy current politics.
Then why does the ... By: bogmire777. on 25 Apr 12, 21:35:55 Then why does the U.S. give more aid to other countries yearly than any other country in history? Every Empire has ideals, morals,? and ethics, your view is incredibly skewed, the Roman empire had ideals and ethics, they may not have been your idea of whats ethical, but they certainly had ideals. Like most anti-Americans, your statement is completely void of any historical reasoning.
What I'm saying is ... By: bogmire777. on 25 Apr 12, 21:33:41 What I'm saying is that the United States has had a positive influence on the world over all, and? by imposing force and weakening inferior cultures and governments, Fascism, Communism, Radical Islam, ect, we help the entire world towards Democracy. What Im saying is Im sick of the whiny bleeding hearts who make these retarded videos when the small evils in America are so unimportant when compared to the greater evils of the world. Especially while the reap the benefits of being an American.
If the Nazis had ... By: astroboomboy. on 25 Apr 12, 13:14:50 If the Nazis had won the war they would say the same things you are saying. No one is saying America is not a great country, but being great does not mean that a country is entitled to use force in? order to enforce its will on others. "Go live somewhere else" so your saying that we should have a dictatorship where free speech means nothing, that no one should criticize the bad things of their country?
I have no other word to explain your view than moronic.
