Empire State Building lights up for China.. WTF

Wow. You couldn’t be more wrong about the US if you said we were a league of wallabies.

Bush is not even worthy to argue about, since that’s what every foreign person uses as ammunition against the US.

The press and media is free to say anything. They are allowed to criticize the government as much as they want, and constantly do so. There’s no such propaganda machinery…some of the best journalists here take a hard stance against government policies. In fact, your government fails in this aspect with it’s weird censorship laws.

The following statement

was obviously pulled from your ass. I can’t even discuss this with you. Admit that you know nothing of the US because you live in another country.

#102

Guantanamo? Internment camps for Japanese Americans around 1942? Patriot Act? Not ringing a bell? Well okay then - I must have pulled that from my ass, as you claimed.

Go on living in your own world. I will discontinue disturbing it. Ignorance is bliss.

#103

Guantanamo…Explain how that is dictator worthy. All I saw was a prison for terrorists who ere threatening the US, but I guess I’m wrong, here.

The Internment Camps were set up because Roosevelt was pressured to authorize them. Hell, we even gave compensation for that.

The Patriot Act is a weird subject. It has plenty of pros and cons. Sure, it invades privacy, but you get protection from possible plots against the US.

#104

They aren’t prisoners if they haven’t been charged…

#105

That’s what one of your dear founding fathers would have to say about it. I won’t comment on it myself. We have the same thing going on in Germany, actually. And not for the first time, either.

And what do you think did the Nazis tell German civilians about THEIR internment camps? Pretty much the same stories.

#106

True…Perhaps prison wasn’t the right word.

More like a place where they can’t terrorize anymore.

Sure it was unethical, and maybe I don’t agree with it…but it was totally legal.

EDIT: But, Delta, we weren’t gassing our prisoners.

#107

Okay, first of all Guantanamo tortures their “prisoners.” Yes, they may be terrorist, but that’s not how we do things in America.

Internment Camps: I agree, to an extent. We shouldn’t of done it in the first place. We apologized. They accepted it. We’re sorry. Let’s move the fuck on with our lives.

The Patriot Act: The name is fucking retarded, and so is the act itself. I don’t care what it does. We have the right to privacy, first and foremost.

#108

Yeah, I don’t like the Patriot Act, either. But if that’s how it has to be…

#109

So it’s legal to incarcerate and torture peoples without any real proofs?

#110

No, it doesn’t.
Once we actually START looking for Osama, rather than jacking off in Iraq for years, we’ll find him and this whole shit fest will be over. no need to tap phones.
Oh, and to the one that thinks were in a dictatorship: Notice all my criticisms against the US Government. Notice how I’m still alive. There, we’re not in a dictatorship!

#111

Blame Bush.

And Imonfire, it wasn’t one US soil, so technically it was legal. Still, I didn’t agree, but it was legit.

#112

And it’s fucking bullshit.

#113

Was.

#114

What?

#115

Well I guess he was talking about Guantanamo. “It was” bullshit 'cause Guantanamo is closed now.

#116

Can I just insert here that just because a founding father says something doesn’t make it true. Most of them were racists which would never be elected if they ran for office today. Thank you for your time.

#117

Thank God for you.

#118

Tommy J was the biggest racist ever.

Also:

They told them that they were Jews and deserverd to be baked in giant furnaces.

#119

Indeed. But they never saw what was truly going on inside of them. (Correct me if I’m wrong) I will not pass judgement on the morality of Guantanemo, but the comparison to The Concentration Camps is an extreme exaggeration. Muslims have yet to be blamed for our countries economic troubles, as the Jews were. In fact, the concept of blaming an event on a single group of people is the equivalent of political suicide in this country, unlike in Pre-WWII Germany.
