Crumpp, that would be postwar US, UK, France, China, USSR -- Un's founding superpowers.....



I was not refering to the Security Council.

I was refering to the General Assembly Member Nations.

Hope that makes my earlier post clearer for you!

Almost every conflict since 1945 is the result of European colonialism. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. :)

Comparing the US to the European countries in question is apples and oranges. The US isn't even 250 years old, while it's being compared to countries at least 3-4 times as old.

GScholz - slightly off topic, but can you tell me, in a couple of lines, why you want Norway to be a part of the EU? In what way do you see Norway benefiting from that?

If you are so against the USA then why bother with us?    Are you just looking to stir the pot?


I could really care less what you think of the USA.


Lets see here. It was back in 87 or 88.  Not sure which now.  I had the pleasure of meeting a platoon of Brit Para's who were training at Ft. Bragg,NC.   Good bunch of guys.    Went out to the bars with them and we all tied on a good drunk.       Now I wonder what makes those guys any different than you Beetle?

Why the animosity towards the USA?   We really disturb you that much?      

Oh and by the way.   My heritage is English on my mothers side.
Guess that side of the family decided to come to the good ole' USA
and set up shop.        My fathers side is Hungarian.

I really can't see how my country has anything to do with yours and how it affects your daily life?    That goes for all of the other Euro's here putting us down.

GScholz,
HAs it ever occured to you that you could be speaking German today?  Could be your national language instead of Norwegian.

The rest of the European nations are way down on the "worst" list compare to the US.

There, that's my comment.


GScholz, that's about the most ignorant and idiotic thing I've read here in quite a bit.

While most countries have done many things that are abhorent, I think that the United States would rank among the historically most altruistic of nations.

Of course we have out faults, and of course we have made mistakes, but the intentions and ideals of THE PEOPLE of the US are undeniable, and your relentless PR against the general and common goodwill of the people of my country causes us to doubt your intentions.

I'm glad we were able to give you the opportunity of freedom that you have, and the ability to speak your mind, but the ideals that have sprung forth, and the information that you take as truth, regardless of the facts that are presented to you, make me hope that you are not representative of your fair country.
