<< Take a look at our defense budget and what it produces and the crimes we comit around the world ... >> Crimes we commit around the world? Like when Americans fought and lost their lives trying to protect the world in World War I? How about the many who lost their lives in World War II fighting to keep the world safe against Hitler and other ruthless dictators? And, then America facing down the Russian imperialistic and communistic threats to the world, which lasted for decades. America's military has fought to keep the world free for democracy. Most Americans, and most other civilized nations, are very proud of what America has done for world freedom. I feel that you don't want to be accused of throwing around unsupported, insulting insults against America. If you have accusations that America has commited crimes around the world, I am sure that you will tell us what are those heinous crimes.

I don't remember making a lot of generalizations about people. Can you post a few links to these statements that you claim I made? Until I learn more? What makes you think I don't know anything? Is it because I am trying to hold you "accountable" for your posts, and I am questioning george, "the only one that has a clue about world affairs, just ask him", papadopoulos. you make all kinds of wild accusations and statements, "take a look at our defense budget and what it produces and the crimes we commit around the world". we have a large defense budget true, but it's not so that they can commit crimes around the world, for one small thing it's so that you and I and everyone else can discuss things on a message board and not worry that someone is going to break down the door and shoot us. and your last sentence is really kind of absurd, george...no one here is going to solve any of the world's problems at any level. we may post intelligent things, we may post stupid things, but there is no way we're even going to find the answer to the question of why blondes have more fun.
