To Mahram: An Honest Discussion about America

[oddiduro]

I am not an "America, love it or leave it" type of person.

Politically, I am probably a libertarian.

But, I see so many threads that bash America as a big evil monster.

I would submit that America has contributed more to the world than any other nation, yet she is the youngest of all nations.

Our problems are unique as far a problems go. We suffer from too MUCH choice, rather than not enough.

Who would step up if America failed? France? England?

Without America, we would not even have this thread. Most of you are using American built computers, on American made software, and American designed technology.

If I am being arrogant, or misinformed, educate me.

I am getting a little annoyed with all the America bashing that goes on.

Before anyone brings up the war, that was the result of a faulty administration, not of a faulty country.

We push George Bush back in office because John Kerry would have been worse. The lesser of two evils. The fact remains however that America is the most benevolent country on earth.

Period.



Best Regards
Oddi

Honestly, it would probably take too long with no guaranee of a positive result. If you are not educated by now (I assume you are out of highschool), chances are even with the internet at your hands, you are simply just not going to get it.

The fact remains however that America is the most benevolent country on earth.



I checked the Book of facts, but it doesn't list the USA as the most benevolent country. We are talking about the country that invented (with the huge help of immigrant scientists) and used the atomic bomb and almost brought the world to an end at least twice in history. (homework assignment: list those dates)

Also you are using a logical fallacy of false assumption when you believe that just because A invented X, without A X wouldn't have been invented.

For a refutal of that belief check out the invention of the radio. (although my bet, you won't get the analogy>>>not worthy of trying to educate you)

Care to post a link to your "book of facts"?

Just curious, when did the U.S. almost almost bring the world to an end at least twice in history.

Well, that is the homework, isn't it? I will give 12 more hours to solve it.

If there was such a title as most benevolent country, it would go to one of the Scandinavians...

Yes, there is nothing like banging a hot Nordic blond in a thermal spa.
