Well, considering this is "Shake-Out Day" here in Cali, fear and paranoia are hovering about!
Of course one shouldn't live with the dreading of this place being flushed away; for me, it's a possibility but am I going to focus on that?
Nope - I'm aware that shit can go down anywhere, anytime...natural, man-made, whatever.
So yeah.
Makes much more sense....yadda yadda
*edit - I'm with you on that sentiment, Mr. Bombers.
Shake Out Day here in CA! Holly crap, I missed it! Well, nor worries. I've got at least a few weeks worth of food and water, a few fifths of Jose Cuervo, a half dozen bottles of wine, a six pack of Pacifico (Ole!), a little stash, my Swiss Army knife and some chewing gum and rubber bands. Move over MacGyver!

America has many scars but the world is much brighter due to America and her ideals! We are PART of the solution, not PART of the problem!
The reason they hate us is not because of our borders and geographics.....its because of our ideals and our freedoms and principles! You get to enjoy our freedoms so you should take an extra step in appreciation for our country!
this is the biggest load of infantile, jingoism that i have read on here in a long time. the world is not that simplistic!!
i am pretty sure that they hate us for meddling in other countries' affairs. not because, as bush so infamously put it, of our freedom and ideals :fp:
osama bin laden told you why america was hated. the palestinians tell you why america is hated. the iranians tell you why america is hated. the iraqis and afghans and saudis tell you why america is hated. the russians tell you why america is hated. do you listen? no. because if you did you would not type things like your above post.
i expect better of my country. i expect it to be the great country that it claims to be and tells the rest of the world that it is. i expect it to do what it says it is going to do. when it does that i appreciate it. when it doesn't, i criticize it.
Exactly. That and religious differences- something that always stirs up trouble amongst fundamentalists of all shapes and colors.

is there any evidence out there that this was al qaeda?
Al Queda is like America.....
thank you. I was just arguing with an islamophobe HS friend on fb about this topic, and decided to google how many people, in how many countries, were killed by US drones this week alone....yestrerday - American drones injured 2 students in an attack in Pakistan (killed up to 41 just a few days ago), killed 24 in a drone attack in Somalia (29 two days ago), and killed 9 people in Yemen. Those are stories from less than five minutes on google, I'm sure there are more. Over a hundred people in three countries you are not at war with, in the last few days alone. judge, jury, executioner.
Then I came across a study publised in Pakistan yesterday, that claims over 80% of the 2500-300 drone victims in that country have been innocent civilians, while less than 2% are top militant targets.
So yes, I agree with that statement. There is hope for you yet, militaryguywithamillionusernames.

This is really a beautiful sentiment. It is uplifting, positive, patriotic ...
and courageous ...
considering the thoughts and feelings of most of the posters here.
I'm glad you shared your heartfelt words, it should remind us of what we have
but also what we can be.

yeah i don't even know why i or anyone else bothers. clearly i am in the minority in america, and it is a shame....
i am sure he read that and has not come back since. i asked him 9 or so direct questions in another thread that i am waiting to be responded to as well... guess i shouldn't hold my breath for that...

It could be seen as funny/sarcastic if the guy didn't actually believe this. But he does.. Reality check is needed.
Where is that thread about how America is seen by 'others'? Things that some american remain blissfully unaware, or maybe rather choose to ignore and would rather wallow in some weird 'patriotic' muck.
Note that I have absolutely nothing against patriotism. This is a good thing. But patriotism does not mean being blind. One will love one's partner but also see the 'lesser' sides of this partner - does not mean love is less strong, on the contrary. Same with patriotism - be real.

This poster celebrates their country. Wonder why that bothers so many here
I'll raise my glass to the post!
You do know how Europe appears to some people and if you aren't perfect
maybe no stones?
Yes seeing the lesser sides of others... some seem to be afflicted with that. Something to be said for optimistic love
People do what is expected of them.
And Europe..... so many different countries, all individual with different 'lesser sides'. Though I do understand that for many americans 'Europe' seems to be one country (or maybe lots of little ones but the same...)

i thought the point of the thread was that it is outrageous that we stopped a terrorist attack?
i tried to explain why we are hated, but apparently, as usual, that point is lost on a lot of americans...
