    If by cars you mean bankruptcy, and by freedom you mean exploiting under-developed countries and hardworking honest people, then yes, America nailed it.

    Yeah... the US got it right? Why did a german company own Chrysler for 15 years? Umm and Fiat owns a good share now and there is an agreement for Fiat to own the majority of Chrysler... Chrysler won't even be a US company much longer...

    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Now if you had a gun, and a car came at you, would you really turn and run?? I doubt it...you'd shoot!!

    I agree though, that's a sick looking car!

    America has got many things right and the world would be in serious trouble if it was not for the USA. I hate war as much if not more than most people but all those lives sacrificed have not been in vain, there are some very nasty people out there and if they had their way we would not be allowed basic freedoms like listening to PJ. USA rocks hard people.

    Are you serious? Do you think the opposite could be said? Do you think the world would be a better place, had the US not been involved in certain affairs?

    For all of the parents who are currently loosing there sons and daughters in Iraq - Can you or Godfather explain how those deaths are not in vain?

    I think the USA rocks too, but I don't support everything my country does blindly.

    I asked a question regarding something you support. Can you answer the question?
    You can tell parents what ever the hell you want, but what are the facts? What is the truth? I'd like to know the truth.

    Sorry for the delay, I was watching Brazil.

    I come from a country where the ruling party can do anything they want, a while back I was having a party and the cops showed up because of loud music, a police car with two cops accompanied by an armoured personnel carrier with a dozen soldiers armed with AK47's, if somebody had said the wrong thing or made a wrong move it would have been another incident and the army was defending themselves. Just this morning the ruling party ordered their youth brigade to take over white and Asian owned property in my home town.

    The truth is this, no matter how much we want peace there are people out there who will make your worst nightmare come true, I am not talking about the odd serial killer, this is about evil on a huge scale, Rwanda lost over 200 000 people in a very short time.
    People talk about the USA getting their ass kicked in Vietnam but maybe because so many Americans fought and died there, communism was held back for enough time for it to become obsolete?

    Like I have said there is not a person on this planet who hates violence more than me but I have seen the other side of the coin close up. We can always think about the chicken and the egg but in my experience evil does not need a catalyst so it must be kept in check.

    With all due respect, you still didn't answer my questions in my previous post.

    In regard to this post, why do people want to hurt the US? Do you think its because we are mainly Christian's?
    Do you think it's because we promote peace? Because we go around the world trying to better the planet?
    Why do so many organizations want to hurt the US? What have we done to deserve those kinds of threats?

    The problem is that you are looking for logic where there is madness, we are dealing with people who get told that if they strap explosives to themselves and kill innocent people they will receive the riches of heaven. America is a good target for the preachers of hate because of your freedom, that is the thing that scares them most, not having total control is a dictators worst fear.

    So just to be clear you believe that the reason people want to hurt the USA, is because of our freedoms? That's why generations have grown to hate us?

    Exactly, i'd like to see how some people would tell parents that there children died for nothing. You ever notice how most people that have lost loved ones still support the war.

    It is the biggest, many of these people that hate America are of the mind that we should immersing ourselves in their religion and not moving forward technologically, etc and this comes under the banner of freedom. A good example is the shooting dead of a couple of soccer supporters in Somalia about a week ago because they were watching a world cup game, in their view people must do as they say, Americans would fight to say they are wrong.

    it would be just plain mean spirited, not to mention show an extreme lack of grace, to tell a parent of a dead soldier that their child died in vain regardless of your views on current military intervention.


    every now and again one of my children mentions joining the military for whatever reason and every time they are subjected to a 'talk from mum', where i lay out history, foreign policy and the hypocrisy of religion for them. am i 'brainwashing' my children to keep them peaceable human beings?? you bet your arse i am. i will do anything within my power to keep my children away from the military.

    Much respect to you for your parenting skills, anyone who is thinking about going to war should be shown the Alice in Chains video of Rooster.

    I don't like war either, the best way to keep it out of our country in to take the war to them,it's like preventive maintiance ...our country was attacked (9/11) so our country went to the countries that harbored or supported these azzholes and raised hell and had we not these azzholes that attacked us would keep on attacking but since we took action these azzholes will think twice next time and now they know we will not take shyt from ANYBODY...we will come to your country and kick your azz's !! so when ever these men and women of the United States Military leave home to fight and sometimes die or come home maimed they are doing it to protect you way of life and our freedom, do think if we were not a super power we would be free ?..we would be kicked to the curb so freaking quick you wouldn't have time to quote a line from your human rights hand book, most countries don't give a big frogs azz about your human rights..you are a American citizen to them and thats it and thats enough for them to hate your religen and your freedom,just look at the news on t.v to see that.

    these 'azzholes' already knew the US takes shit from no one. in fact they succceeded on their quest on the 2nd attempt. why they did what they did will be debated until the end of history. but you cant deny that considering their foreign policy, it was only a matter of time before the US was hit on homesoil.
