but it looks like I've struck a nerve here.  |
Pacifier,
I find it sad that people here on the Right will try to bully countries into their will and have their opinions on how those countries should be run. I also find it sad that they take great offense when someone outside this country has an opinion on our government. After all what we do affects EVERYBODY, EVERYWHERE.
As this is an international forum and a great place for minds sometimes to have legitimate debates on, I appologize for some of my countrymen, who forget that the US is not the only country that can have opinions about others.
I, for one, truly like to hear what other countries think of us, as that affects my country is ways I can see (trade) and in ways I may never see (future alliances).
What these "patriotic egotists" from the Right fail to see is that someday, we may need help from these countries they continuously insult, bully and rip apart (perhaps, we will need this aid very soon if the economy continues the way it is, we continue to allow the EPA and FDA to allow pollution and poisons into our soils and foods and our weather patterns and climates continue to change).
I just have to say never hold your tongue Pacifier, please share your opinion. I may not agree with it and may feel that you are totally wrong, however, again it is very important to know what the rest of the world thinks of what we do.
