Announcement From The American People

[LivingTarget]

I think this point that bush is imagined as :evil: down here (Europe mostly eh?), is probably cause that\'s what the news betray them/him as. Everyone just goes along for most of it, although there\'s quite a lot of things said that are (truly) backed up. Like some dodgy deficits and all that?
I think without living in the USA yourself you\'d probably have no leg to stand on anyway saying this and that about it. All we get is straight from the media machine.
Now here\'s the broader picture, you\'ve got a fairly new state hardly 300 years old. It\'s large ass and so many people living in it. How can 1 guy decide what\'s best for all of them? I\'m sure the alternative for Democracy would be far worse, but it just looks very very fragile. Add to that that the guy looks like a semi-stereotype american gorilla, well he\'s the face of the whole country. Therefore people usually put everything on the same pile.

Bush = bad
Anyone following bush = bad
Everyone in the USA = bad

Those are easier links to make then you\'d think, especially since most Amercians are \'proud\' of their country. If you mention it most (online) will not even go into the subject and just swear or be aggresive. Not totally weird obviously.

We\'ve just got to remember to judge people by how they are not by what race, country they live in, religion they believe in etc.
People have their reasons and 90% of the things you think is in how you are influenced, i.e.: brought up as a child and growing up till now.

I don\'t like politics but I do like to debate about these opinions once in a while. :tup:
