Oh yeah, this reminds me. I need to pick up some Maxwell coffee next time I'm at Wal-Mart. Coffee supply is running low.
I cried today...

hates you.
I would probably first shed tears for the millions of victims of various totalitarian states that have existed over the past millenia.

I just dont see how you can cry at a movie, even things such as a Holocaust film, without actually being there and experiencing it.

Accurate of what? Part of what he says is true, and if saying "bad" facts about America makes you an US-basher...

For the realisation, for the honest posting, for the time taken and for the first steps to make a change. To be clear though, your deepest gripe from watching that film is more Capitalism and its relationship with the arms industry, rather than America's foreign policy. Am I right? It's only because America has been the most successful capitalist power of late that has allowed it to caste its influence far and wide with this heavy production, sale of and support for terrorist groups with armaments. There's nothing exclusively American about that part. It's just Capitalism in action, producing unwanted rubbish (guns and bullets in this case) and the imperative to use / sell them. If the WWs hadn't happened, you'd be crying about Britain doing it instead. It's the system that they operate by that dictates their conduct here (and that drive to sell and make more arms).
The foreign policy points you make are all damn good and true also though. Much better than the pointlessness of the posts that immediately followed your OP.
Hmm...I didn't feel it at all when you passed through my brain.
Kudos to you and to White Elk.

Is white elk a troll or did he just miss the good our contry has done?
We're getting sick and tired of everyone trolling our country. I know how you can solve the problem. Get the hell out.

So you have no rights to complain about the wrong your country has done? Again, White Elk is not a troll, he's someone saying "this is what is wrong with the USA", not "the USA is wrong".

This thread isn't about all the good America has done. If you want to do so, make your own thread about it.
The "we" you're talking about is why the rest of us Americans aren't all peaches and cream about how America is. I know how YOU can solve the problem, don't make comments that make you look like a jackass and debate in a civil manner.
It's called moral relativism. Every nation on earth engages in it in one form or another. The United States as the lone major super power (for now) gets the bulk of international attention.
No matter what country you are sitting in today, eating your cornflakes and typing on your computer; rest assured, that liberty was secured with bloodshed in some manner. So everyone needs to have a good cry about it.

Thank you White Elk, for posting about the evils of governments and corporations, the world would better better without both. Sure, America has done some things right, but the blatant disregard for anything except power and money in the echelons of the American government and corporations is horrible. These are greedy people who care about nothing except wealth, and will kill to gain more.
And please America, learn to stay out of other countries business, we have plenty of problems we need to worry about here.

White Elk, you rule. Of course some good things have come out of all of this I don't deny that but mostly bad. The bad effects of violence are almost always more than the good and usally A LOT more.
