Maybe because many persons are tired to talk about the US, in fact, as I pointed out in a previous post, there are lots of threads about this country, plus there are some threads which are about other things but ended up talking about the US...that's enough, I guess!

In some aspects they are already as i posted already but they may try to take more and more power and invade more countries with fake reasons.


Hi,
I really, really hope the US will invade Italy one day, and will make a new American state out of it. American English will be the offcial language. Hihihihi.

Hi Ignaz,

peace in soul is above all. I would like to ask you. -Why did you move to Germany?

If you are German, did you study your own history well? To me it doesn`t look like you had. If you compare an undemocratic and inhuman system with US politique. Many people immigrate there, why they would then? You mean politic abroad, ok, then we have to wait many years to see the conclusion. innocent victimes? yes, injustice? yes, unstability? yes... But it is our world that we live now, "...the trap the world has become..." M.Kundera (czech author living in France)

BTW, a few weeks ago here in Prague in jewish district, we had a memory day of the Crystal Nacht as a remebrance of 9.11.1938 and guess what, a group of Nazi decided to walk through this district as well. The point is that 3/4 of participants were German...

What I think of the USA? People like to ask but  don`t want to know the answer.

It's sure that United States are on the spots of the entire world. Particularly, I think people don't really understand the american society. They were bred to be enthusiastics of their own country - they're easier to be manipullated by their governors, the representatives of their flag - and they also know very little about the rest of the world. But, in fact, who knows? Who can say 'I know how the africans are right now' or 'I understand exactly what's happening on China'? The main difference, however, is the mentality of "I'm american, and that's enough".

If you ask me "are the americans guilty for their government attitudes?" I would respond "Yes and No". Yes because they vote, their home is a democratic country. They choose their presidents, their governors, and they must be AWARE of their actions, they must RESPOND. And no because you can't spill blood into a little girl's hands because she was born here or there. Not all americans are selfish and arrogant, many of them are nice and are looking to learn about the rest of the world. And it's not an off-topic issue because, in fact, many americans are being touted as 'evil' or 'bad' with no apparent reason. And yes, I hate George Bush.

P.S.: I'm not criticizing anyone, It's just my way to think.

do you think the US government stands for peace or war?
i do not think peace

many immigrate there cause they are blinded by the shine or just dont care

nazis dont exist anymore..they are called neo nazis please
and yes there are quite some right people in germany just like in many other countries too
should we send them all in prison ? that is not possible for us
we can not even forbid the right political group in germany due to our law
there are reason why people get right and we must fight these first

should we burn in hell forever for 60 years ago?
we learned from this mistake and we changed
we feel responsible for WW2 that is why there are many people who shout out loud the problems of the USA


leozin

i thought it is clear that we talk about the most people
the USA is almost as big as europe so it is clear that many people are the opposite

i only blame who really support the government and i blame people who just doesnt care
people who dont care are same guilty as people who are actively for the currenct system

i dont blame people who are against it and vote for different presidents etc

´´ many americans are being touted as 'evil' or 'bad' with no apparent reason´´
there is a reason and i wrote it on the sites before

Hi Ignaz,

thanks for pointing out, it is a fatale mistake. I wanted to edit in my original post adding the "neo", but it is not possible. So it will stay so, forever :-(

I will simply replay

1) I know what Germany is doing, I know about Action Suhnezeichen Friedendienste and I certainely don`t think someone "should burn in hell forever for 60 years ago" but also I don`t think that I should reprobate someone forever if being alcoholic in one period of life. (I think you mentioned it before for Bush)

2) peace X war ........ Peace is utopie, war is just a result. But all, it is about the trade/market, possession and profit (oil included of course). Don`t trust media, as you said corrupted in the US, corrupted in Czech, Germany? France? Russia? Two big rivals USA and Russia. Russia is always ready to occupy what they lost in 1989. Putin said about EU, that it is like a romain empire just it won`t take so long to its decompositon. EU won`t help to protect the democracy, just look what is happening in Belaruss, Who cares? EU? NATO? noone...

Me personaly I would always trust more US then Russia, sorry.

3) BTW talking about Germany. What can you tell about the pact of gas line made with Russia but elude Poland from discussion...? Politic, just politic, don`t search humanity and ideals, please

yes peace is an wishdream but is war then accepted?

in germany there is not so much corruption as it in other countries but there is alot brainwashing too but not often political

and that Eu is just crap is out of question


trust the USA more than russia? what about trust noone of them?

and you maybe forget we people are the power
the governments in democracies are only our servants, not more
so in democracies i can search humanity and ideals!

russia and USA a democracy? definately not so i dont search humanity and ideals there but in germany i do for example
germany must lick many asses, yes (high minus money)
 german government is weak and business is more important than ideals

to 1
i dont want to say he is so stupid cause he was an alcoholic..for this i have enough other reasons

but that he was an ex acloholic just shows that obviously money plays an more important role than the abilities
that he was an ex alcoholic just shows that he failed in many situations
