right, and the fact that we give the most aid to the world and feed many people around the world doesn't make a difference?

another American hater bites the dust

Thanks to us many parts of the world are flourishing democracies.

God Bless America

I bet you probably also think that Hitler wasn't so bad because he made the trains run on time.

your an idiot. Hilter was evil incarnate and our governemnt sat around until the germans had already been beaten. We took absolutely no action to help the jews, when we easily could have.

Dude..and I mean this..GTFO. You slimy piece of sh!t. Learn something about WW2.

the US should just shut down its borders, stop all aid, and build a huge dome over us.

let the world kill itself off and then we'll open up and take over.

b/c if we stop our world aid, or stop aiding these countries and their wars the world would fall apart.

i dont see any other country stepping up to be the new world leader......everytime someone does they try to destroy it.

its hard being on top, b/c everyone points out your mistakes never your good deeds

HAHAHA what a load of sh!t!!!

The united states is not only the #1 sponsor of terrorism by far. We are easily amongst the greatest opponents of democracy and self-determination in the world, although this was declined slightly IMO from the reagan days. Why don't you learn the real history of the US, and not the watered down lies they teach in public school and college.

Also most american aid goes to proping up military dictatorships and other repressive regimes, such as egypt, saudi arabia, etc

Your poll indicates a complete lack of understanding of the function of government.

Human beings were born free.
Freedom is the natural state of man.
According to Thomas Jefferson, man is a political beast.
Man, as a political beast, roamed freely, but needed to work with other men to achieve goals - like killing animals.
Man developed bigger and bigger projects than killing animals, and needed a means of organization - enter government.
Government provided social order, at a cost to freedom. It was a trade off. (See Rousseau's Social Contract)
Since government exists at the expense of liberty, it can never be a good, since it exists in opposition of man's natural state.

The only reason that the American government is seen as a "good thing" is because it sucks less than all other forms that have been previously attempted. It exists at less cost to individual liberty than others existing before.

Good post, I agree!

 

[gutharius]

You are only free in america unless you are always represented by the majority. Those who are not are the equivilient of societal prisoners and victims of the majorities whim and unilateral discrimination.

It sets an example to the rest of the world of just what a democratic governemtn should and should not be like. I will leave this up to your person interpretation...

America is strong only because it has the largest population of the developed nations. That's it-- end of story.

Now that Europe is uniting and larger countries like China and India are becoing developed, America's "greatness" will become a thing of the past.

Yup, I think population is one of America's greatest strengths (along with others such as being an appealing place for very educated people all over the world to come to -- brain drain). However, Europe's population is decreasing.

or either stuck at 0.1

the thing is that muslim immigrants are just flooding european countries like crazy, so that might be one of the reasons why these countries arent declining

According to most studies, most of them are declining, with Europe overall set to decline and age considerably by 2050. I think that the UK and France had small increases projected (under 10%) but not enough. As an example, the US is expected to grow by 43%, Canada about 20%. I've seen some other studies that predict a much higher percentage for the US too.

right, thats because france has seen a flood of immigrants, mainly from arab nations come in. UK's population is increasing too, for the same reason

How very UNAmerican of you to say!

It would be even more UN-American of me as a US Citizen to simply stand by in ignorance when something is wrong with our supposedly "Free" nation. Of course you see no problem in this so feel free to bask in your gratuitous lack of patriotism to the ideals and history this nation was founded on.

 

[BeauJangles]

I voted government because it is our gov that gives us our freedom.

 

[raildogg]

People like Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jefferson and other great men like these made America the best country in the world. We should always remember these great heroes.
