think of how many americans would be happy if the current government was overthrown and replaced with a new one out of the woodwork, created by the people. and solely there for governing them and working towards a more socialist society.
consider millions would have to die.
an entire type of people removed, in a word genocide.

Its interesting you say that we put the gun in the hand of that child when most of these people are actually trying to kill eachother because they think that they have the right to a specified piece of land.  Not that america doesn't rape the world.  But were not the only completely FUCKED UP country out there.  Look at israel and palestine, and regardless of our occupation of iraq, the suni would still be terrorizing the rest of the population that disagrees with their point of view.  Saying america is fucked up is pretty ironic. 

  This whole world is fairly fucked up.  At least the majority of civilian americans dont kill eachother for not being catholic, or lutheran or what have you.  I hate what our government is doing just as much as most europeans hate it.  But you sitting there generalizing every person in our country because our government and corporations are trying to rule the world isn't solving a goddamn thing.  All your doing is perpetuating more hate.  Shame on you.

actually, you're right.  see the thing is, theres nothing that says we did or didn't put the gun in the hand of that child...some of you are missing the point of this thread.  it's not to influence people, its not to start a revolt or anything like that, dont feel like you're being forced to feel what others feel, the point of my thread was to open your eyes to see the different opinions and attitudes people have on this board toward America, and the reason I said post PICS and not comments is because pictures are full of art and can depict ideas a lot better than words themselves can.  I love seeing the pics of people enjoying themselves in America's beautiful places.  That to me is just as important as the pictures of political pursuasion.  You feel one way, post a picture that you feel represents your feeling.


MORE PICS, LESS DISCUSSION PLEASE

p.s. I'm not generalizing ANYONE, and I'm certainly not trying to solve ANYTHING.

That's exactly what I'm saying.  Americans have done horrendous deeds in the past, sure, but to compare it to Nazi or Stalinist regimes is an insult to those who suffered through them.
