Its great to see America.

[Maniac]

Its great to be seeing you American citizens caring what the rest of the world thinks about you.

In the past you couldnt care less, its great that this is truly changing.

We have to give a big to the Internet for making this possible. People have the tool to enlighten themselfs now and get in touch with citizens from other countrys with other views and angles.

Having internet available in the US is djust as important as having internet available to the Chinese citizens.

for your changing efforts Americans, i apriciate it alot.

Dream on.

If this is voiced worldwide, China is invading us from the West, France will invade us from the East, Mexico from the South.   Who would attack from the North?

It would be nice if other countries liked us but it is not very important.

Maniac, most of us have always cared about how the rest of the world perceives us.

And then there's people like RA who have never, and will never give a shreck what the rest of the world thinks about us.

Just remember that those kind of people are in the minority, although they are a very vocal minority.

Maniac, you shouldn't be drinking during office hours, you know that?

Have to disagree with you, most people in this country could give a damn about what Europe, SE Asia or bum**** Egypt think about this country. The business of living and dealing with our own problems takes precedence.
As Laz said,  it would be nice but ****em if they dont like us, would be the majority (when mommy wasnt watching what they said)

Are you really sure ????

Just read the precedent post.

I have always cared about what other nations think about the U.S.  How we are perceived is important to me.  

Conversely, I also am concerned that other countries care about what I, as an American citizen think...and I think that the U.S.turns hostile countries into parking lots.

National security should never play second-fiddle to touchie-feelie international diplomacy.

Yes, Naso, I still believe the majority of Americans are good people who care if the U.S. is a good global citizen.

Like I said, there is a minority of people who don't care, and they are very vocal. You will hear more from them in this thread than what is truly representational of "real world" America.

If you guys think that this BBS is America in microcosm, you are wrong. The majority of people on the BBS are right wing conservatives from the south.....and they DO NOT represent a true picture of America as a whole.

Canada was going to invade a month ago. But we realized that even though most of the US army is gone the NFL could kick our buts. So we have settled on an internet BBS assault!

banana,

From the experiences that I have, having been 3 (or 4?) times in the States, having friends there, and having met many US people here, I used to believe like you, and I liked your country and your people.

But this has been before some very sad event happened, so I am fearing something has changed there, in the ol' USA.

This is very close to my feelings on the subject. Well said, shuckins.

I'm not sure that AKCasca or banana are correct. IMO, most Americans seem to think that most Americans share the same opinion, especially if it's one they happen to agree with.

I have my doubts.

Honesty is a beautiful thing! Pongo!  

to Maniac for comparing the USA to totalitarian communist China.

But I tell you Europe is going to simply LOVE China when it becomes a full world power and starts drinking up that Mid East oil that Europe depends on soo much more than the USA.. And you will also love China's nunanced and sophisticated foreign policy!
