Yeah the US definitely has tons of problems for sure. Especially when the worst president in history is re-elected for another 4 miserable years. What the hell are people thinking, I have no idea. Everybody hates the US cuz it's taking over everything and exploiting the hell out of everything. I think people need to open their eyes and their minds more, show a little more respect and stop the hatin'.

Funniest thread ever. Tom thats some funny shit to see you hanging around the boards...you did put two and two together and realise this is smaction shotgun to the face krunchy...how amusing we should meet on this sorry excuse for a board ;-)

Bush is such a tosser that you can't make an argument. He has done so many fucked up and stupid/evil things, when you start reeling them off, due to the sheer enormity of the crimes agaisnt humanity, they seem less and less bad. It's like at school. You kept your head down mostly, and just did your thing...but then you spoke in class and got a whomping from the teacher. This is while the nutfucker in the back corner is throwing shit at everyone and yelling crap out. The nutfucker has worn it out. What he does has become normal. He does it every day, and the list of dumb shit he does is too long to even use as toilet paper after eating american food, so you just accept it and try and ignore him.
Thats until nutfucker throws a piece of paper at your head, covered in spit and snot. What are you gonna do? Just sit there?
Nutfucker is a big boy, and he proceeds to beat the fuck out of you.

You have been nutfucked.

Oh, and by the way...We are talking government here, at least, slightly.
You american capitalist pig-dogs never thought to do a bit of research? You know...www.google.com

If you actualy researched the politics of our country, you might actually have something to work with you god damn tards. We have a natural advantage because our news is saturated with your bullshit, while you have to actually flex your fingers to know something about Australia. Anyone who thinks they are involved with this thread can get a fucking clue and find out what we are defending. I have sat by and watched you dumb fucks screw up this whole thread with your pointless uneducated ramblings and Bill O'Reilly style truths without actually getting to the point of the pot calling the kettle black.

By the way, the yanks aren't digging dirt because they assume it's not there. They actually do think australia is a kick arse nation, with cool people and a chilled out bunch of yobs in canberra (our washington, dipshits), while over the last few years we have experienced a huge swing in country persona and image.

Wake up you war criminals...we are human rights abusers!

DUMB FUCKS!

Until the founding fathers developed a functioning compound republic, most democracies had been small in population and size and militarily weak. The US was the first to prove that democracy does not require weakness. And yes, without the US democracy would most likely not have survived. Go ask any expert on political theory.

since when is militarily weak a bad thing unless your intent on stirring up trouble with other countries and causing cconflicts, as far as i can see countries like canada and andora(look it up) are doing just fine without the unbelievable trillion dollar a year warmachine the US holds so dear. but my point is this we are living with less people abroad to worry about fighting the battles of our rich and powerful unlike you, what the US is doing to the world is baisically driving it into the ground by using all that money for killing. and as far as 'democracy' in the US goes it is barly a democracy,and who says democracy even works, now befor you jump on me and scream commie listen to what i hav to say. the comunist countries that are prominent today ar not truly comunist. take russia after the revolution the money went to their heads and they stoped sharing witch is the basis of comunism hence it is no longer truly comunist, as far as cuba goes it and castro get A LOT of bad press from the states couse castro just doesnt agree, you are right in saying that peple should hav freedom of speach and all other things like being able to leave the country and this is one of the reasons these countries aernt really conmunist they are dictatorships the states just calles them comunist so a truly comunist society would work much better than these. saying this i do not mean to say comunism works but neiter does democracy at least not the 'democracy' and 'comunism' we hav today.

If you people hate the United States so much, stop watching American entertainment, using American products and innovations, coming to America on vacation, in fact, just stop associating yourself with anything to do with the United States... Can you do this?

Also, it's not the US that gave the communist label to these nations, the NATIONS THEMSELVES chose that label, usually the dictator used the illusion of a workers rebellion where all people would be treated the same, etc, to come to power, and they don't continue this promise but rather turn it into a toletarianistic state...

What? The Russian rebellion was a peasant rebellion agains the Russian royalty. It was a communist rebellion and I'm damn positive Lenin had every intention to seize power from the beginning.

Wow, where's JD May when you need him, lol.

marcsus leninous - Made up word.

Also, I'm pretty sure the leaders of the communist rebellion in Russia had plans of dominating the country.

Please stop posting, you're making shit up that makes NO FUCKING SENSE.

Here's what these statistics of yours tell me.

America is one of the wealthiest nations in the world, and our top few percent impact on a global level. Now, there is a huge health issue in the USA today. A majority of people are overweight.

What your statistic tells me goes along with common knowledge that I've known for years. Instead of targeting the problem head on and taking care of it how it should be dealt with (for example, actually go out and excercise) people throw millions and millions of dollars at it trying to find some way around it.

The real solution is to excercise, eat right, and live a healthy lifestyle. Many other nations realize this, which is why it is not as big of a problem there.

But most Americans are lazy. I don't know what you are trying to prove, but this is not new to any of us. General knowledge.

Eat. Sleep. Breathe. Ski.

Canada's proximity to the united states and their shared interests limit Canada's need for a military...its not like they ever really contribute to peacekeeping operations either.

Andorra is between France and Spain, has few natural resources, and has a small population. Who the fuck would fight a war for Andorra.

I also loved the quip where you told me to look up Andorra but spelled it wrong...I can't believe you thought you were smart because you knew where Andorra is. Everyone out of 6th grade should know that shit.

also Supersize Me deals with a guy who eats McDonald's every day for a month, for every meal, and who needs to eat a full meal every time. I'm sorry that you think all Americans have these eating patterns, they don't.

EFCS, canada is a leader in peace keeping operations, we like peace and try to preserve it.
and good call to the dooder who said the best way to fight fat is to eat right and exercise.
there is nothing wrong with the way steve irwin speaks, it is an accent. if you make fun of it, you must make fun of southern states, and espically louisiana (sp?).

and finally, it is tough to not buy anything american (espically living in canada)as they have polluted the world with their products. i do not travel there, will not travel there and buy as little from american companies as possible. i full out boycott is a tough thing for sure, but little by little i will weed american influence out of my market.

what you seem to have left out is that Andorra has some of the bsst skiing inthe world and makes tons of money from tourism and as far as tourism goes they have one of the richest economies inthe world compared to the size it is a very wealthy country

ok heres wat ive got 2 say, from wat ive seen and heard of the rest of the world i think australia is a very cool place; they got lots of hot girls, lots of nice beaches and very good surf. But most importantly they are the closest country 2 NZ which is the BEST MOTHERFUCKIN COUNTRY IN THE WORLD- not 2 b biased or anything.

and not to rag on america but i think that you have 2 realise that perhaps you dont live in the best country in the world, perhaps your not perfect and perhaps some of the stuff you do is wrong.Peace
