And beat the crap out of Grenada. And invented the corn dog on a stick.

God Bless America!

You forgot, we saved France's ass when we beat the crap out of Germany the second time. I think it warrants mentioning.

We could have beat the crap out of the French. I mean, we were already there. It wasn't out of our way to beat their asses too. We could have easily just for fun. But instead we showed compassion and saved them while beating the crap out of someone else.

We save people's asses by beating the crap out of someone else. That makes us ass beaters with compassion. That's truly great.

And we also have the ingenuity to dip things in batter and fry them with sugar, like Fried Twinkies.

God Bless this great land of ours!

ATRAYU AND FALCOR THE LUCK DRAGON!!!!!!!!!!

Neverending Story... wow.

is this for real - well, no matter it's hillarious!

Heather - I refer you to the "Fan Mail" post below this. Yes, it is 100% real.

The real question is, what AREN'T I drinkin?

p.s. - do u have AIM?

No ma'am - I have a gmail acct and can receive IM's via playazball@gmail.com.

The absolute best way to reach me is via email, phil@playazball.com.

There is also a "top secret" MySpace page (find it if you dare!).

Not to mention we invented modern democracy, which is a pretty big thing. I here we're exporting it now.

I have to defend the Union Jack a bit, Phil. Let it be known that the English simply grew tired of fighting the Yanks. It was the gentlemanly thing to do.

Ummm, sorry, but TiVO was patented in Israel, which means it was created by JEWS! Hoohah and hooray!

Hmmmm..I don't know, Paul

I love it! That picture is awesome! The words are great too...make me feel like kicking the living day lights out of someone while wearing red,white and blue.

Happy Fourth, Playaz.

Natalie - thanks...go and do likewise.

Cube - the same to you & yours.

Happy Fourth, Playaz. Have a (cold) beer, (a real) hotdog, and hamburger (not a so-called 'beef burger') for me would ya? And think of the ex-pats in the U.K. who have to work on this day. (Lousy Brits. Now I know why we declared independence from them...)

Thank you Wayne O.A. - done and done. And I will go see Superman today at the movie theater.

There is a noted absence of "beat the crap out of Canada." Then again, we burned your capital down in the war of 1812, and the US gained no ground in the fight for additional latitude.

Either that or a country that is 50% ice just wasn't worth mentioning.

Have you learned nothing, Cookie? We just wanted the insurance money.

when u beat the crap out of the english wernt u all english too! and u had the french , dutch and spanish armies on your side. most of the english were actualy irish and german. can u count being envolved in WW1 ? and u eventualy joined WW2 when japan and germany declared war on u. u yanks live in a dream world.

Anonymous, I would say if it weren't for the U.S. you'd be speaking (insert foreign language: german, japanese, italian, spanish, etc.)...but I'm not sure what to say because that's barely English you're typing.

Americans are not just English settlers. As you say we had Irish, German, etc. in our colonies at the time. We take the best of all cultures, then beat the crap out of whatever remains behind in that culture, because they are inferior.

I'd say we count in WWI, since we basically won it. Yes, we eventually did join WWII when you pansies couldn't get the job done (again), so we did it on two fronts for you.

Don't make us crush you, anonymous! You cannot hide from the USA!

do you seriously think anyone is scared of the USA .

you only beat the crap out of people in your films in real life your pretty weak and geeky.

The people of Hiroshima & Nagasaki might disagree. If they were alive.

Oh yeah.. your own country won't even take a piss without our say-so first.

when we smashed argentina there were quite a few yank mercenary's helping them out! They were all wiped out by the Royal marines easy . By the way doubt you know this fact but it was the British that gave the Jap army their biggest defeat during WW2 in Burmah.

of course dropping bombs on weak civilians is a perfect measure of how brave the USA is , your still doing it today

1) Yes - the mighty Argentinians. Which, by the way, we helped you win that one, too - go back and read your history books. The U.S. gave you missiles and machinery that actually worked and Margaret Thatcher herself said without the United States, Britain would have "never gotten back the Falklands". Enjoy your Patagonia sweaters! It was worth it!

2) Burma - when you say "British", you mean "British India", right? Yes this was the biggest Japanese defeat - unless you count the 214,000 we obliterated in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and forced Japan to surrender.

3) You got that right! That's how you win wars. Your country should look into it.

England invented democracy in 1649 thanks to the english civil war , thats long before we inventsd America , Australia , New Zealand , Canada , South Africa , Hong Kong ect

i have to admit it would be easier to win this argument if you were french

I look forward to seeing who the newly elected King and Queen will be.

I'll tell you what America invented: Business Opportunity. What if I told you that one could strike it rich, simply by posting comments on the internet, just as you're doing now?

lucky for you that we invented the computor and the internet eh

Australia is younger than the US and already it beats America hands down. A land of natural beauty, fragile yet enduring. Harsh and extreme, lush and bountiful-a continent like no other. Our ancient land offers boundless opportunity, sustains us and makes us who we are. Our diversity, A nation of difference and unity. People from the city, the country, different nations and backgrounds; we are one people, living together. Through our diverse beliefs and experiences we learn from each other and grow together. Our freedom and democracy - A society built on fundamental rights and responsibilities. Freedom of thought and expression. Participation in government and respect for and equality under the law. An enduring spirit of mateship and fairness. A compassionate society committed to access to employment, housing, health and education. Ours is a land of opportunity where we can do anything. Finally, our ancient indiginous roots. The rich and resilient spirituality; the knowledge, art and history. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are part of Australia's identity and culture. Aboriginal Australians were the first of a few human colonies, directly descending from species before humankind. Living in this great country for over 40,000 years, contributing to it's rich cultural diversity and heraitage.

ADVANCE AUSTRALIA FAIR- for we are young and free....

You have obviously spent too much time in Russia, Rob. It has turned you into a communist.

(edit) - Wait, I don't think you are my "communist" friend Rob...my mistake.

Still, you're wrong.

I am an Englishman. You are a total CUNT. Remember the war of 1812? No, of course not, because like all americans you are completely uneducated. We beat the living shit out of you and burned down the white house.

Oh, and incidentally, the so called war of independance involved one group of British people fighting another group of British people. Sadly, the traitors won and went on found the most crime-ridden, materialistic aberration that has ever called itself a 'country'.

Moreover, there is no such thing as an american. You're all just the crap of foreign countries who couldn't make it where you were. Your prosperity is based upon stealing land from its rightful inhabitants, taking their vast mineral resources and exploiting the immigrant workforce.

All facts. Hope there weren't too many long words for you.

JOHN BULL

Oh, (and I'm far from finished)we also have a national leader who can string a sentence together.
You have some half-witted hick who can only have got into Yale because his father contributed a gym (or whatever). The man's a fucking moron. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it.
He's only in power because the vast majority of your nation ('middle america') are a bunch of neanderthals who believe that Jesus Christ came from idaho (or some such shithole).
Pride (as history - that's the study of things that happened in the past, or 'before' if that helps you) comes before a fall...

JOHN BULL

And I can proudly say that George Bush is not the result of making love to cousins, sisters, fathers, or whatever other form of inbred-ed-ness your royalty stems from.

It is well known that Jesus prefers the U.S. over other countries...that's why we're the best. Hope you're right about Him, though, or....well, say hello to Jack the Ripper for me.

Your comments don't actually mean anything. Say 'hello to Jack the Ripper' - what in the name of the goddess fuck does that mean? If you can understand my point (and let's face it, it's a big if) say 'hello' to Ted Bundy, Charles Manson, John Wayne Gacy, Henry Lee Lucas,Randy Kraft,Richard Speck, Richard Ramirez e.t.c., e.tc.

Incidentally, how the hell do you know what George Bush is the product of? If inbreeding equals idiocy, he's something of a prime candidate.

It's 'well known that Jesus prefers the U.S.'!!! By whom and how?
G-d is an Englishman. Fact. We had him on our side before we invented your country. We were lucky that you were removed from us by traitors, just as a cancer patient is lucky to have a tumor removed.

Now then, on the subject of the Second World War (in which - my heart swells with the pride of thousands of years of English heritage [where the hell is your blood from?] - my Grandfather fought like a lion), we the English - tiny nation that we are - leapt to the assistance of Poland, because it was the right thing to do. You waited until something happened to you, before you got involved.
You are self-involved cowardly non-entities. However, thanks for the internet - the rest of the world can now easily disavaow you of your fantasties.

Here's the kicker - the one that will finally pull the rug out from beneath your pathetic colonial feet - I LOVE America. My wife is American (but a right-thinking American) and I live in the U.S. However, take the piss out of my country and I will (as I have) LAY WASTE TO YOU

I guess I have to address your 15 comments one by one.

1) Jack the Ripper ain't exactly in heaven is my point. Seems like you're the one who can't read between the lines.

2) It is in the Bible. Towards the back.

3) I guess we assumed you could handle the job, but you know what they say when you assume. It makes an ass out of you and me. So we had to finish it for you and save your country.

4) You have only proven my point. You admit you would rather live in our country than your own. Case closed.

You also make a good point about our serial killers being better than yours.

Yes, I appreciate what you like to think of as 'your point'. I notice that you don't really address the majority of my issues, only the ones that you (for some ill-educated reason) 'think' (and I use the word advisedly)you can 'win'.
Of course I can read between the lines (incidentally, in grown-up terms we refer to this as subtext).
Where in the Bible (you say - with your no-doubt extensive knowledge of the subject)that it's 'toward the back' does it say (in words that even an expert decoder of subtext) could discern, does it say that 'Jesus prefers the U.S.'?
I should of course have started by saying that if you are addressing my 'fifteen points one-by-one', why do you only have four?
And finally, no I wouldn't rather live in this country than my own - I yearn for the civilization of a non third-world country. I love my wife and am fascinated by the experience of living somewhere foreign - an experience that you - along with your 95% of non-passport-holders will never experience.

Goodness, the Brits are touchy. Sort of a Napoleon complex, stemming from being our weak little brother. England is cute when it tries to flex its muscle, knowing the US will be there to finish the fight when it gets its nose bloodied.

Anonymous (how about at least making up a name? is that so hard?)

"Read between the lines" is something someone says when they don't have to prove they are smart by looking in a thesaurus for words like "subtext". That's probably a british thing, though - like saying "petrol" instead of "gas".

Of course I'm referring to the verse that says "and Jesus said "no one comes to the Father but through Me....America Rules!""

'Fifteen points' is "sarcasm". Comes right before 'subtext'.

I have a passport and have been all over the world. I've never found anywhere worth living but the U.S. (yes, I've been to England - like a left-handed America with bad teeth).

Oh (and I'm becoming weary of communicating with someone who is so obviously a hick idiot - what do you do? where's your degree from? Don't lie, you know the truth), you seem proud that your serial killers are 'better' than ours. A singularly peverted point which is utterly at odds with what I perceive to be your Christianity. Quite, quite disgusting. May the LORD have pity on your twisted soul.

So NOW you're invoking Christianity? A little late for that my limey friend...

Yes, since you mentioned it, our serial killers are much better. Yours are wasteful - leaving body parts strewn about town. Ours will actually eat them on occassion. And we have WAY more. I don't condone it - just another area we are superior.

My degree is from the School of Hard Knocks. Please don't call me a hick - you might insult me.

You insult yourself and your nation and Jesus Christ himself. I 'invoke' Him because it's come to that. You celebrate serial killers. 'The school of hard knocks'...the last resort of the ill-educated half-wit. You are an insult to Christianity and the Lord.
May G-d have mercy on your pitiful soul.

You hardly believe He existed a few moments ago..you're only trying to get back into Heaven now. God's not buying it.

I don't celebrate serial killers. Just saying ours are superior than yours, just like everything else.

I'm sure you went to Cambridge or Oxford and are just dying to tell me how smart you are - so go ahead.

This has all been extremely instrucive. I'm actually an American writer reseaching our view of other countries. Frankly, it's terrifying...
Please, let's all hate a little less and realize that our similarities are greater than our differences.

You - Phil, Wayne and the other - will be featured in an article about our country, our attitudes and how we can improve our national security by addressing these issues.
Thank you for your participation.
Yours,
Uncle Sam

What a bunch of blithering bullshit. Storm in, raise a ruckus about how ignorant everyone in America is, and then claim that you're researching the American worldview? This only provides understanding of how Americans react to pompous buffoons that scrabble desperately to prove their points using petty and weak ad hominem attacks, and then crumble and sob in the face of dismissal.

Dismissed.

Rob's right, though. Australia's pretty cool. I think there's a pattern we can see where the strongest leave mother England, establish successful and strong countries, and then suffer the repeated ankle-biting evidenced by statements referring to America as "the colonies."

What a lot of long words. Aren't you clever! Gosh, I'm really intimidated. By the way, bullshit - being as it is entirely conjectural - cannot 'blither' (wonderful English word though it is). 'Ad Hominem'! How is your Latin - minimal, I'm sure.
Of course, the classic colonial response to our superior intelligence - we're 'pompous'.

I hereby dismiss you and your pathetic little plastic country.

FINIS (that's in a foreign language - they exist, you know).

Taking an awfully long time to come up with a response, I notice. Looking in a Thesauras (of the English, rather than American language)?

Actually, just doing things that pertain to life outside Playaz Ball. I'm glad you're enjoying it, though.

I can't wait to see this article. How much are you going to pay us?

I've returned, and I find more blithering bullshit. I'm disappointed, but not surprised.

This is funny, though: "What a lot of long words. Aren't you clever! Gosh, I'm really intimidated." It's like a page out of my own book. No substance whatsoever, solely designed to provoke the ire of the reader. Let's move on, shall we?

"By the way, bullshit - being as it is entirely conjectural - cannot 'blither' (wonderful English word though it is)."
Criticizing the grammatical accuracy of a colloquialism is ridiculous.

"'Ad Hominem'! How is your Latin - minimal, I'm sure."
That was an excellent example of an ad hominem attack. Thank you.

"Of course, the classic colonial response to our superior intelligence - we're 'pompous'."
That statement, much like the previous one, proves the point.

"I hereby dismiss you and your pathetic little plastic country."
Oh, come on - - I just used the 'dismissal' line. Come up with your own barbs.

"FINIS (that's in a foreign language - they exist, you know)."
Fuck off (That's English.)

FUCKING CUNT (THAT'S ANGLO-SAXON).

Hello,

I've just happened upon this site. Why does everyone seem so angry? What's the problem with Brits, Americans or anyone else for that matter? Who cares (or can adjudge) what is 'the greatest country on earth'?
I don't mean to come across as some kind of a bleeding heart liberal (which I quite catergorically am not), but we're all just people trying to do our best, aren't we.
The Brits were the first to give us their support after the horror of 9/11 and that makes them O.K. in my book.
Now, for goodness sake, let's stop all this crap, eh?

I've just been reading all this horrible nonsense. What's the problem? Can't we be friends with one another? Can't we coexist? Isn't that a fundamental part of being civilized?
Cut it out fellers, for the love of God.

This site is hilarious. I wonder why some idiots are using it as a forum for their vitriol. Well, I suppose that it takes all sorts...

This is my horse, vomiting violently. Place him under arrest and eat heartily my Aboriginal acquaintance.

Looks like your inferior British schools didn't teach you about things like "IP Addresses".

You've got a real chip on your shoulder, haven't you, 'phil'?
IP addresses? Mazeltov, Schlemiel.

Not at all. I love the banter.

You are free to question my intelligence and call me derogatory names all you want.

Just letting you know that your "new person" commenter doesn't exactly fool any of us hicks.

Well, fun to have toyed with you. I'm very happy that you know you're 'hicks'. Goodnight and good luck...

Sophisticated hicks, however. I'm not exactly sure how you feel I've been "toyed" with...are you at all aware of your surroundings?

Appreciated the Murrow sign-off...at least you didn't use David Frost or Tony Parsons. Those guys sucked.

Oh okay, you're right, I'm just fooling around. I'm just another Yank having a bit of fun.

Yes I know. We're always right.

In spite of all temptations, to belong to other nations, he remains an Englishman, he is an E,e,e,e,e,e,Englishman.
Great fun to reactionary foreigners to toy (yes 'toy' because you seem to care so much) with. Your friend, who seems to find the need to capitolize the word 'Him' (as in Jesus Christ) sounds terrifying.
Nearly Friday. Good Yomtov

I'm still not sure you've fully grasped the concept of the IP Adress. Or, that you're fully aware of who you are conversing with.

Perhaps you are better with money than computers. Do you have any interest in being rich beyond your wildest dreams?

99% of the people on this forum are idiots.

USA did NOT invent democracy - that award goes to Europe

Thanks for the tidbit, br, but actually it was Greece. Welcome to the 99%.

Britian Sucks, America Rules, no debate

I would like to be rich beyond my wildest dreams...tell me how.

I would like to comment on the fact that, yeah you got independence, but independence from what?

Your government is the biggest killer of freedom of speach and your basic rights and thats to its OWN citizens. Your laws are restrictive and majority of it would be illegal in the European Unions Human Rights legislation.

Your made up of the crap of the world that we didnt want. You could not cut it over here, so had to move! Your basis of society is racist and segregated. Land of the Free? Who are you trying to kid? Yourself!

Europe rocks! we dominated, conquered and created you all; you have our laws, language, culture and ideologies.

You have given us: Nuclear War, Fat People [All Fast Food chains are American] and Michael Jackson.

oh how the rest of the world is not worthy......... [JOKE!]

Oh Craig--

How are we the biggest killer of free speech? You just said what you wanted, I didn't even nuke it off the page, like we did the Japanese some 60 yrs ago. You are free to say what you want, thanks to us, and in your native English language (not German).

As far as "being made up of the crap the world didn't want" I guess you consider the entire world crap (including your own)- since we comprise every race and nationality that makes up the U.S., greatest country on Earth.

And when exactly did Europe conquer us? You mean when they killed the Indians? That was before the U.S. was invented, which was when we conquered you. Sure we have your language, and we allowed you to keep it when we bailed you out of every world war.

Yep, we gave you Nuclear War, fat people (without them we wouldn't have Louie Anderson, Nell Carter, the Fat Boyz, Fat Albert, etc.) and Michael Jackson. You gave us Pete Townsend, also a pedophile.

This is the most offensive and inaccurate website that it has ever been my misfortune to visit. 'You' beat the crap out of England? I so much doubt that any of your ancestors were in the US in 1776.
I'm English and I share George Washington's blood. You don't.
You 'beat the crap out of the Indians'. Well done you. You also stole their country.
Now I appreciate that the habitues of this 'site' are probably quasi-educated half-wits, but I would urge you to get a fucking clue before you spout such shit.

While on the subject, your 'if it wasn't for us you'd be speaking German' refrain is utterly absurd. What fucking language (to employ my proud, pure Anglo-Saxon language) are you speaking? I'll tell you this - it isn't called American.

You can't spell paedophoile. I imagine the the AE dipthong is a bit beyond you. Ah, Bless.

Why are you so stupid?

Henry, you'll be dead soon so your opinion doesn't matter anymore.

Winston you're already dead (though your life prolonged thanks to us winning WWII for you - otherwise you'd be lapping Hitler's loins in your remaining years).

Anonymous 2 - might want to check a dictionary, and visit a speech therapist.

Phil may want to realize that bastardizing not only the English Language but also ancient Greek is no excuse for cockiness. He may also want to realize that he cannot possibly issue advice to 'visit a speech therapist' to someone whose voice he has never heard. Finally (on this subject), he should realize that placing a comma before the word 'and' in a sentence is a dead giveaway of a lack of education.

Also (and I write as a proud American and a Princeton graduate), we did not win the war for the Allies, but stepped in shamefully late to what was the brave (considering the power of the Axis forces) defence of freedom - particularly by the British. The war was won (and this is historical fact) by the RAF in the Battle of Britain which thwarted Hitler's Operation Sealion and meant that his proposed Russian front was pushed back until the winter of 1940. The inclement weather broke the German Army. We simply stepped in late to take the glory.

All of this American rewriting of history offends me because, as a nation, we have so many real achievements of which to be proud but disgrace ourselves with our greedy desire to steal those of other nations.

I meant to put in a semi-colon - that's called a "typo".

You probably forged your "Princeton" diploma with transfer letters and a burnisher.

Oh, yeah, and you're wrong.

Italy's the best nation ever!!!!!!!!

We controlled all of u Europ before you even existed. ( ROME )

Only if you consider not-bathing and pizza the greatest contributions to society.

Do you know what i consider to be the greatest nation is beacuse Phil you have no life sitting around the computer all day doing nothing and responding to comments like mine.

Also we are the greatest nation of food ( pizza, pasta, ministroni,stuffed pizza ) oo umust think that was a great diss when you said we didnt shower beacuse every day i wake up and take a shower along with my family and friends and the entire population of italia and sicilia

Also dont ever make fun of the food that made many italian families (which came off of the boat) welthy. Many people enjoy our food very much.

You mention pizza twice - I love pizza by the way...the Californians really made it better...the kind we know and love today.

And I'm glad to hear you and your family take a shower together every day. That is both hygenic and kinky.

+ Anonymous 1:52 pm you've made all of the above comments.

Did you know my profession is "commenting"? At least I get paid to do it. (Gots to get paid)

OOO.... Wow preety fun job starring at the computer all day typing about what you think. Well you couldent make it in the real worl could you, your a bum with no life.

I am a Playa of great wealth. I assume you read the site?

I look forward to more of your questions!

Your all worng us Irish Are the best and will destroy america.

We contributes soo much

You're too drunk, Dom!

Ooo see thats a sterotype of us irishmen, we are known for drinking but that is like saying all french guys are cowards or all americans are lazy and fat.

The one above is from Dom Oriely

Hey, Dom your a fagot why dont you go and Drink everything about your miserable life away.

ITALY RULES

Greatest country on earth MY ASS.

The USA sucks balls.

ssfsd - Your country sucks balls.

Can I just say a few things that have some truth behind them instead of inane rambling bollocks about how great the US is.

1. If it weren't for the British, USA wouldn't even exist. We created it! and I have to say a big sorry to the native indians for f*cking their country up so badly for them!

2. Despite the Hollywood twisted point of views, the US did not defeat Nazi Germany on it's own! Wnston Churchill was British BTW!

3. America got dicked in Vietnam!

4. American's killed more british armed forces than Iraqi's did in the first gulf war. A. because they are trigger happy and B. because they can't shoot straight!

5. The British empire was the largest the world has ever seen!

6. And finally we own you because you even speak our language! Badly granted! English is English, it's not English (United States). English (United States) is just another way of saying you suffer from dyslexia e.g. It's Aluminium, not Aluminum. Colour, not Color Pfff!

Lets face it! without the UK you'd be f*ck all!

4.

British Bulldog-

1. It's sort of the "chicken or the egg" theory isn't it? If it weren't for us hating you so much, we wouldn't have formed our own country against your will.

2. What did Winston do? Let London get blown to rubble? You know his speech "never give up"? Know what the rest of that was? "And please let the U.S. save us. The End."

3. True.

4. No, that was just carryover from the Revolution. Why not kill just a few more British to make sure they haven't forgotten?

5. "Was" is the key word.

6. Wrong - we perfected your language and pronounce things normally. Why would anyone put a "u" in color? It's ridiculous. You all sound like butlers.

4. Another 4?

Everyone says that, kyleovuk, but at the end of the day, where does everyone emigrate to? That's right, the USA.

And yes, the Russians are very frightening with their 1972 military technology. They'd have been lucky if their missiles even made it out to the Atlantic.

You beat 14 African countries? Congratulations on beating a continent that primarily fights with sticks and blow darts. That is unless you mean "Egypt" or someplace - where they use Russian equipment in all likelihood, or your old crap you didn't want anymore.

We became rich because we can outbuild, outlast any country. We rebuilt your entire continent, and no, we still haven't been repaid (thus, the deficit you speak of). And how well do you think you'd fare without our economy? The world would implode into itself and get sucked into a black hole. The End.

If you showed a majority of people on earth a globe, and asked them where they'd like to live, you know most of them by far would pick USA. Anyone who doesn't admit that is a fool or a liar. People all over the world look at us and know that one doesn't have to live in a roach-infested tin shack with no plumbing, and that if you can just get here, you got a more than decent chance of making a few extra bucks, having a better place to sleep, better food to eat, and a hell of a good time while your at it. You FOOLS! What county do the oppressed come crying to? What county do the downtrodden flock to? What country do the poor sneak into? America is the greatest country on earth, no doubt about it.

Kinda interesting that a country in just over 200 years of existense has become single-handedly, hands-down the greatest, wealthiest, most prosperous, most GENEROUS, most advanced, country in the history of human civilization.
You Europeans have been around for something like 2000 years, and what the hell have you done??? Besides asked for our help on a multiple number of times.
When an earthquake hits, a hurricane, a flood, a major natual disaster, be it in Burma, Indonesia, Spain, France, Japan, etc, it is the United States of America that is first on the scene to help save lives. And usually, hampered by the country we're trying to help.
Secondly, it is inherrent in our constitution, that every man woman and child has God-given rights that cannot be taken away from government. This is the reason that so many refugees from oppressed nations come HERE. And what do they do when they come here. Well... after being tortured and killed in their home countries, they come to
America to start new lives (i.e. Vietnameese, Armenians, Russians, Laotians, Chinese,..... the list goes on) and they start family businesses, become successful and prosperous. They live the American Dream.
You tell me how your socialist communist third world military dictatorship is able to offer these people the freedom to live and succeed.
It doesn't. That's why they come here.
Third, when the United States goes intoa war, it does so to FREE the people from their oppression, dictatorship, massive human rights violations (Iraq, Afganistan, Vietnam, WWII Europe, etc). Saddam Husein was a murderer and a dictator thug. His people were afraid of him, and protesters vanished and never saw their families. His sons, who were in charge of the Iraqi olympic team, tortured athletes to perform better (look that up, its's true). In Afganistan, the taliban suppressed the nation into a pretty much a third wolrd, denying basic rights and freedoms to its people, while sponsoring terrorism (the same one that struck your trains and airports in Europe (and you cowardly back down instead of fight for justice and your right to exist, which means that probably sometime in the future, America will have to go and rescue you AGAIN, for the 4th? or 5th time??).
In Vietnam, We fought the communists. The same ones that had just murdered 80 million of their own people. Same in North Korea.

I believe that the United States is the greatest nation in the history of civilization. I'm not asking you to acknowledge that, because I'm sure you have pride in your own country, be it Britain, France,Germany, Japan, etc.
Just do me a favor, stop trashing us. History repeats itself. And it will be us again coming to your rescue shortly.
Just remember, the mighty French military bowed down to the feet of Nazi invaders storming through their walls, and had to wait for the MIGHTY AMERICAN Military to come to the rescue.
History repeats itself my friends.

Europes kinda shaped the majority of the American culture -in anwser to 'what has Europe done?'-, and unfortunatly good things can't last, it didn't for the Roman's the Mongolian's, Great Britian, and it won't for the American's. Infact it's allready starting to turn. Greatness is not about who is richist though, and the culture that is greatest is the one that is most familiar to you. America does tend to show, as demonstrated by the last comment, a slight self satisfied smugness, but unlike previous super powers they havn't expressed it by invading everywhere. Infact they have been a particuarly peaceful superpower. So now lets stop fighting amongst ourselves and unite against the Chinese.

Europe may have "shaped" it - America just made it better.

I am all for shutting down the Chinese regime. Their antiquated weaponry would be no match for the U.S.

Wait for the day when gas gets to $10 per gallon. USA's economy will collapse. China's economy will also get affected but not as much as that of USA. Because China is not as much dependent on oil as the US. China is dependent on its people alone. LOL.

I in fact do like this place.
