Americans think they aren't really hated !

[Porkstone]

I posted a controversial (If your republican) article on this website http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/913833/posts to see how free it really was

They disabled my account because they didn't like my views. I posed the question why do people hate america? To which one of the responses was people don't really hate us.

I wanted to reply: (My account was disabled)

People are strapping explosives to themselves and blowing themseselves to pieces in an attempt to kill americans. No matter how misguided their actions are, It seems a pretty reasonable bet that they aren't doing it cos they love you guys!

I hope this is acceptable if a little of topic.

Cheers

It's not just Americans that are on the receiving end of suicide bombers. Israelis, Russians, Western Europe have all been targeted and I believe the World Suicide Bomb Champions are still the Tamil Tigers who target Hindus.
The Bali bomb was aimed at Australians although it wasn't a suicide mission.
So Americans probably make up less than one-fifth of the "fanatical Islamist militants hate us" club.

Ask the average person living in the United Kingdom, what they think about Americans?. (and remember we are your so called allies).
We DO NOT like Americans because:
1. You are arrogant.
2. You think EVERYONE should do things YOUR WAY
3. The majority of Americans are VERY stupid
4. You are scaring everyone with your imperialist intentions.
5. You want to dominate the world.

So, just how do you think you would react if the tables were turned. What if the former soviet union acted like the US and started to dictate to every other country what is going to happen.i.e. Imposing regime changes etc.

Its obvious that US policy is now determined by the AEI (American Enterprise Institute..or whatever) and all those
'Neo-Nazi (sic - sorry) I mean 'Neo-Conservatives' in Washington.

Re a "Republican" style of govenment, I quote:
ROME. (BC)
510 Siege of Ardea; dispute between king's sons and their cousins.
509 Lucretia violated by Sextus; invokes revenge and stabs herself.
Conspiracy, headed by Brutus.
Tarquin expelled; royalty abolished.
Two CONSULS appointed-L. Junius Brutus
and L. Tarquinius Collatius-by whom is established the aristocratic
ROMAN REPUBLIC.
[the Patricians alone possess the right of marriage (connubium) as well as the "hereditary privileges" of
the GENS; they form the comitia centuriata, fill all senatorial, magesterial, and priestly offices, and are owners of all the land]
Attempts by Tar.........
"Republicanism" i "Dem.O.C.Ra's", yank style = slavery

I know I claim my US colleagues are STUPID, but could you please put that in English please.

If Americans were really THAT stupid......do you think they would be in the position they are in. Don't underestimate them, and as far as thier imperialism??? They're just sticking a boot in the @ss of every country that's had it coming to them. If my country (Italy)or any country for that matter had a fraction of the balls the US has.......I'd sing thier praises as well.


Go USA!!

One more thing, my Britt friends....


You were 2 weeks away from speaking German. Open those books, and don't forget the countless other times you were handed back your fragile pride.


Next time you mention Imperialism, look to your own VERY recent history.
