We didn't "nuke" Kabul. Heck, our bombs are smarter than most of the world's high school graduates.
At least the bombs can FIND Afghanistan

Which one was that, Ozz? It is hard to remember all your posts when you have several thousand.

I know this may seem a bit self-agrandizing,
but I took the oppurtunity to re-read a few ancient posts and found this!
This is from a thread called "question for Europeans".
This was my 2 pence worth...
Hmmmm. I wouldn't say Europeans hate Americans?
How can we?
I don't hate any race. None of my friends do either.
I have made a few silly jokes a few in the past,
but the humour is lost in the typed word.
One thing before we begin.
I HATE RACISM, it is inferior thinking.
Americans sometimes amuse me, sometimes they disgust me.
More often than not they make me proud to know em!
There are some fellows I have came across on the forums who seem to have some flawed axes to grind.
They don't know history or have forgotten our past. But they should realise we Europeans and Americans share many bonds:
1. We are all European/Americans, it's interchangable.
America is a land of many colours, hence why the USA's
and Europe's cultures facsinate the world!
2. We all love freedom, Americans defend thier freedom.
America and Europe are proud of our way of life and liberty.
As a Scot, I know the value of liberty! Another thing we have in common with the USA!
3. We are NATO allies, are we not?
In ww1 and ww2, many American boys died to rescue europe
from the nazi war machine. In the UK we never forget that.
We fought Hitler during 1940, and we cheered to see your GIs
and Airmen come here in 1943-45.
You arrived in the nick of time, and we always cover your back.
If that is not friendship what is it?
4. If we hate you, how come so many British and European ladies married or dated "Dashing" American military men?
My dear old Granmothers, who are dead now, used to say The US soldiers were much loved by the UK public and brought great music and a new culture, a needed morale boost to us.
5. The liberated nations also cheered your troops as heroes,
The UK/US alliance is powerful, have we ever let each other down?
6. Do you think the Germans are not grateful for your help in defeating the horrendous nazi regime?
7. Don't you think France is not proud to have stood along side you in the liberation parades in Paris?
8. US dollars regenerated a wrecked Europe, How can we hate a mighty nation who helps?
9. All nations have strong culture but for music and film, USA has revolutionised the world, Why would anyone complain? I don't!
10. In Europe some can bemoan the sterotypical American image, but it is just a stereotype. Such things are only there till you talk to some of the cool people like Brandon and Ilspana who are sensible and proud Amercians! I can vouch for them!
You see, Some mad people try and have a go at america's "big-headedness" or "ignorance" but you can't judge a nation from a few individuals, Travel broadens the mind. Seeing the world is a great cure for needless jingoism.
ABOUT CURRENT EVENTS, from a European's eyes.
I am not political, but I feel anger at some CFs attitudes...
Ignorance is not limited to any one nation, it is a problem for all.
I think America's current actions are just, and the EVIL of terrorists is Europe's problem also,
1. This is OUR FREEDOM IN DANGER, from mindless
hate-filed morons who would attack a great nation,
and destroy a beautiful monument to civilisation.
And to take so many good lives away.
This sickening affront cannot be ignored!
2. These monsters threw down the gauntlet to the USA "and" Europe, hell, the whole damn world, on sept 11.
Defacing a great city, killing thousands whose only crime was being there, and enraging the world's great powers.
3. I can say the UK will not back down until the criminals who attacked the sane world are totally destroyed.
350 of our people died, 86 other nations lost irreplacable lives, This is war.
4. If there is arrogance and ignorance it is to be found in the dank holes in which the evil fiends of Al Queda hide.
"They" will be swept from history...but we should not follow thier path of stupidity.
We have to fight the hate,
Or the world will be of Osama's dark vision, and not of the sane people of the earth.
I say again, without any daft references to who is "bigger" or "greater", I cannot hate Americans!
We are too inter-linked for that!
Sometimes you are silly, sometimes very naive, but like any family, we can never be against our favourite and special cousins across the Atlantic. Our history is entwined.
As a European I welcome Americans, like I would any friend from the wide world.
We are Humans, we all bleed red, we all cry and laugh.
Does this answer the question?

Hey Curt, that is a good post, but who does it belong to? 
I must admit, there have been many good posts here. Lots made me chuckle, some made me angry, one brought tears to my eyes.

Took that 5 second ban bad, eh Floppa?
Many good posts here at CFC. Whenever I get fed up with the "foolishness" of OT posters, I run into somethig like Curt's post above, or AoA's Sept. 11 thread, and I know I'll stay here.

I read his first post in "Why did Hannibal failed" thread and I was swept from my feet.
Thumbs up for Alex!

I actually didn't read AoA's sep 11th post at the time. With all these huge threads that were growing so quickly and my slow English reading I had to give up some of the threads at the time just so I can be on other threads. Anyway now that I read it, a year later, it really brings back the feeling of that day. I too think these are the best two posts I've seen in CFC.
I also like the ME threads with everyone arguing in a very interesting mix of agreements and disagreements about historical facts, defenitions, morality, justice, solutions, etc.

I agree,
I enjoyed these debates, especially in the last few months.
Although I did heavily disagree with the other debaters in certain subjects. And possibly I still do, but there was/is a great respect for each other opinions.
And I have learned a lot about the situation in Israel.
Thanks IceBlaZe, G-Man and Sh3kel.

Strange. I honestly can't recall that one. I'll have to have a butcher's hook through the lot of them in the morning, and find it.

I can´t remember, so I have read a lot. What I remember are a few high-level discussions or posts (specially about economy) of Mephisto, Greadius and RichardIII (the mine were not so high), and an excelent ironic response to me from Switch625 ("What other nations..." aug 31 - Off-topics).

The best post? Well I don't really know, there are as many excellent, well thought posts and threads through out CFC. You guys are great debaters and bring up many interesting and quirky points and ideas. Sure alot of topics get over used and the debates will go on for the rest of time (for example rmsharpe and ComradeDavo, Middle-East), and I can honesty say that Darkshade scares the living poop out of me and I think it's a 'good idea' to stay away from Australia. Well I can honestly say ever topic (even the stupid polls) have at least 1 good post in it
