mugwump wrotePlease tell me just once why Australians are so fascinated by American politics? Granted this year's production is the worst in memory, and the US is a large and significant nation, but it is a complete pain in the ass to enter a bar only to escape the heat and slake my thirst and as soon as my accent is recognized have to explain the intricacies of not only US politics but foreign policy decisions for the last 50 years.
I wouldn't do it to you if the shoe were on the other foot, and who in the hell thinks that because I am an American I agree with everything done by my government?
Frankly, I am damned proud to be an American and certainly not an apologist, but this bull**** gets old. For once think about how many times Americans have sacrificed the lives of their service personnel against some pretty evil adversaries much to the benefit of others and then turned around and rebuilt the economies of their former foes.
Thanks for allowing me to vent my spleen a bit and let you view things through other's eyes.
It is good you are proud of your country and so you should be.
It would be a great country if you stopped invading other countries just for a few years and unnecessarily costing your soldiers life's as well as costing your fellow taxpayers lots and lots of money.
It would be a really really great country if you stopped spending money in your wars and maybe looked after your poor and sick .
Try free medical its pretty fair and while your government is at it why don't you get rid of guns.
