Where is the world now?

How exactly is irony rough?

Excellent grammar there.

It seems to me that America is in a catch 22. If we take money from other nations then chances are they are going to feel that we "owe" them something. If we don't send cash out to other nations fast enough, we're just greedy rich Americans. Either way, it makes America look bad.

Its got nothing to do with 'owing', its got everything to do with the 'rich' helping those less fortunate. I would have thought that you, as a Christian, would understand that concept. America needs no financial 'aid' from any other nations, although i'm sure its been offered. One of the things you do need is Oil - the EU has already offered this.

BTW, I do understand that the average American is rich compared to about 2/3 of the planets population.

its probably closer to +90%

How about this. We'll take care of ourselves if you take care of yours....


Oh wait, nobody but the US can seem to manage to do that.

Ok, let me get this straight. Since we have more money then everyone else, we should then give it to everyone and expect no help at all? I am a Christian and I give an amount of money away every month that would equal most BMW car payments. So I'm not a greedy person. But it is really annoying to give and give and give then when we're in need. "Well, it's America, they'll be fine. But they'd better help us the next time we get a famine or natual disaster!" That's the attitude that I'm talking about. I realize that not all countries are like this. But enough of them are to make a difference.

The reason why noone is sending america aid is because america doesnt need it. You guys have enough resources and money to deal with the matter yourselves. How many people actually died due to katrina? Couple hundred?

In the West Indies countries such as jamaica have been hit by cat 4 hurricanes annually and they didnt exactly get aid from other countries. They sorted themselves out and theyre a poor country. Isnt jamaica a third world nation?

China has a pretty good stab at it.

And if by 'taking care of ourselves' you mean sticking your nose into everyone else's business then i guess you are right 👍

 

[Young_Warrior]

the rich 20% of the worlds population consume 80% of the worlds food.

America makes up about 15% of that rich worlds population.

A third world nation with there own international airline service. I know Jamaica isn't a super rich nation. I'm just making an observation.

Uh, much like the Tsunami, they are finding more bodies everyday. Estimates are in the thousands.

No nobody...

You won WWII on your own didnt you.

Not at all. But I'd have to say that it wasn't going to well until we got involved, wouldn't you?

How did america become the most powerful nation in the world in such a short space of time?

Americans never like to talk about the crimes which got them rich yet speak about and tell other nations what to do.

America got rich by its slave labour and the two world wars.
Also american companies are basically raping all other countries by its poor unfair trade standards. If you guys were more fair and balanced then continents like africa wouldnt need your help but the fact is that america needs africa also.

 

[Joey D]

This thread is starting to sicken me, I just asked a simple why and it turns into an American bashing thread. I try not to be racist or prejudice but sometimes I just can't help it when you see people act like this. Could I go off about a bunch of countries? Yes I could, but do I? No because it doesn't help solve anything.

America does have a lot of money because well we worked for it. I don't think any other country deserves our money. It seems like the rest of the world is a bastard to us, I just want to know what would happen if we cut off their funding?

Isn't charity the act of giving?

Giving then expecting something back in return, especially money, is usually called a loan.

 

[Small_Fryz]

That maybe so but we all played our part. I was just pointing out even the mighty US needs help.

Im not the one claiming Australia can look after itself, though i cant remeber the last time another country had to help us, apart from WWII.

 

[Danoff]

America makes up about 15% of that rich worlds population.

...and that's because?

And if by 'taking care of ourselves' you mean sticking your nose into everyone else's business then i guess you are right

Taking care of yourselves means exactly that. If in order to take care of yourselves you have to bother some other people - so be it.

Something wrong with the world? Blame America.

We need some money? Call America.

Something went right in the world? Don't even think about saying America had anything to do with it.

America needs help? Hah. **** those damn Yanks we already helped them once for all the six hundred times they helped us, we don't need to help them.

Puh-lease. If you people could get any more biased, I'd be thoroughly impressed.

Im sure the rest of the world didnt decide to be bastards out of nowhere.
One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter.

If any nations should be super rich dut to hard work ethics it should be germany. Theyre whole life and work attitude is to work fast safely and efficently. Time keeping is a uber most with them and they are one of the hardest working nations in the world.

Just imagine if all the countries in the world decided to boycott america and not send any trade. America would pretty soon be down on their knees. America take and thay take alot andquite frankly american society is all about media and marketing and the brainwashing of a nation with patriotism and drowning their people in propaganda.

Ive already said how UK and Australia and even NZ helped out the US, especially Australia in WWI, II and veitnam, and now Iraq.

I think we do a lot for you guys. What countries are you aiming these statements at? 3rd world countries?

Right. So flying planes into buildings full of civilians or strapping bombs to children is patriotic. I get it now.

If any nations should be super rich dut to hard work ethics it should be germany. Theyre whole life and work attitude is to work fast safely and efficently. Time keeping is a uber most with them and they are one of the hardest working nations in the world.

So America doesn't deserve to be the richest nation in the world, but they're the only ones who've earned it, but they still don't deserve it. I see your point.

Just imagine if all the countries in the world decided to boycott america and not send any trade. America would pretty soon be down on their knees. America take and thay take alot andquite frankly american society is all about media and marketing and the brainwashing of a nation with patriotism and drowning their people in propaganda.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

America wouldn't be the one suffering if the rest of the world cut off trade. Once again, totally ass backwards.

You realize how easy it would be for America to substain itself? Pretty damn easy. We would not be begging the world...in fact if we were isolationist I think America would be much better.

BTW I like this Ghost C guys...at least he knows whats up 👍.

I think with a one year (2004) $666 billion trade deficit the US needs the rest of the world as much as the rest of the world needs them.

 

[Young_Warrior]

Eh no americans. You need the raw products to maintain your current levels of livelyhood. You guys would soon be running veryshort of things and especially clothing price would skyrocket. Your whole way of live would deterorate and everyhting would become alot more expensive in america.

The rest of the world could get on pretty much like it was now. Hell we might not get any more microsoft but other than that who really cares.Alot of poorer countries would actually be alot better off if noone was to trade with america anymore.

I believe it was the US who saved Europe's ass in World War II, but that's not the point.

I'm aiming my statements at the citizens of every country. Not the governments - The governments are probably more than willing and ready to send the US aid.

I'm speaking of the biased citizens, the ones who believe that America owes the world something so much that they believe the rest of the world should refuse America aid in it's time of need. The completely biased people who think that America is corrupt, and for that reason we deserve no help - But we should help everyone else, because as we all know corrupt national leaders are always in to forking over billions of dollars in foreign aid EVERY. YEAR.

Basically, the people like Young Warrior or TheCracker.

Well once again we wander off topic, so I'm just not going to reply to your uneducated post.

 

[Young_Warrior]

Yeah you guys sure knew how to keep your slaves in line to do your work.

Don't be an ass, we haven't has slaves for 200 years. NOT ONE PERSON TODAY WAS AFFECTED BY SLAVERY!!!!

BTW I like this Ghost C guys...at least he knows whats up 👍.

you do realise USA sells stuff they dont need the world for money, so they can buy things they need from oter countries?

If USA droped off the earth, im sure what ever you dont buy from us other countries will, and what we need from you we can get from other countries. you will be stuck with only what you have.

 

[Joey D]

We would have a lot, we have the means to make things....you don't know much about America do you?

America only got involved in WWII because the germans were gunning down ther ships full off suplies for the allies which america was getting rich off and then america also decided to send their slaves over to fight but the slaves werent allowed to fight along their white americans.

You guys are just drowned in propaganda just watch your americans most wanted show and your news channels. Surely the whole world cant be wrong. The american media doesnt show the full picture of the stories which us europeans actually get alot more balanced reports on the situation and thats why even americans allies the British people and the british government critiscise america so much.
