    Lol everyone loves America. Go into any major city in the world and hava look see. Look to see how many American restaurants are there and how at time is packed to the rim. Look at all the products that are in the stores and being bought. Look at the clothing lines people wear. Shaun John, Fubu, Phat Farm, Addidas, Nike, and by the music they listen to. How much of the music is native and how much of it is rap music? If Americans are really demon like and evil, trust me the people of the foriegn countries can and will stand up against the Americans if necessary. Stop buying the products et cetera. Everyone likes America to an extent.

    Ok your right. But many will understand the point I have been trying to make. Rap music is like in every country now. Along with American fast food and clothing lines.

    Sorry but we've got enough of: Adidas, Umbro, Puma, Kappa. Dont think you are the God. If you read carefully enough you will notice that politics has got nothing to do with real people that live in US, been said many times.

    I think its just that europeans started to live better than americans and life here is more expensive, as welll as products. Thats what you dont like, as you used to be the "greatest" as you say. Times changing, what can we do :) Thank Bush for that.

    Really? Most Europeans still pay about 5 times as much as we do for gas.. Most are lucky if they have more than one TV, a garage with their flat.. and if they have one, it is a one car garage...

    GWB lowered my taxes.. That what I am thankful for..

    Never really directly said Americans are better. And if you want to blame Bush than you need to blame other country leaders who buy into the World Trade Organization and AFTRA who bring American items into your country, Blame your own leaders as well. Europeans and Americans need to step up to the plate and take the responsibility and stop saying its all because of America.

    I can't..

    Amendment 22 - Presidential Term Limits

    1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President, when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

    2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.

    Putin doesn't want to give up power and intends to keep running Russia as prime minister.

    "The president will keep his constitutional authority, but the real levers of power will shift to the prime minister's office," Alexei Makarkin, deputy head of the Center for Political Technologies in Moscow, said in an interview. "Political practice, not any constitutional changes, will allow him to continue to dominate."

    To me hypotheticals are no different than using hindsight to play Monday morning quarterback, which is what a lot of people do here.. Sorry, I just cannot answer unanswerable questions, I do not believe in "what if", and I certainly never use the luxury of hind sight to support a position.

    Obviously not. Gets to show where his priorities are at. He just pretty much said it in his own words that having a bigger garage is a status of ones worth. What a shallow, unenlightened individual.

    Mia falls under this category:
    http://www.bankersball.com/2006/07/27/why-are-americans-workaholics/

    By his own admission he has not had a vacation in like 7 years. I can find that post of yours if you like.


    Hey Mia, how many foreign languages do you speak?
    Enjoy your crappy 2 car garage and your 18hour works days in where's that again?
    You're not in this video by any chance are you?
