If you think they are the same reasons, then you have to get your head checked!!!!!

And furthermore......credibility!!! Who are you to make one credible???

again what comes to mind...what is substantiated by the majority of posts, just on this site alone, is the level of brainwashed blind patriotism.....


the attachment to a national identity...the opperative word being attachment

i have to ask, HOW does this serve you? How does this allow you to actually appreciate any other culture or nationality??

without always stooping to the condesending and discriminating attitudes that your false sense of superiority perpetuates???

we are HUMANS!!! here together...with all the wonderful diversity and wealth of our cultural backrounds....

why does it have to be homogenized ? why can't america find it's common balance in the world??

why does it have to turn everything into something that resembles it's version of capitalism? it's version of democracy???

if you look at the evolution , america has outgrown it's people, technology and mechanics, science and medicine, the Pharmaceutical industry, has everyone on some kind of drug, our culture has overtaken our biology, we have created a world with all of our technology , imagining it was progress, advancement, and it advanced but , we as biological human beings are no longer in harmony with our environment.
the environment we created got up and is leaving without us...

the mastery of illusion, and marketing, and advertising, has given you all the images that it designed for you.
to fit nice and neat into the niche they have carved for you , you will buy what they sell you, you will drink what they brew, you will be attracted to the colours and the packaging that they have programmed you to recognize since the cereal box at the table when you were little... you think you have FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????


you think that the advancement of the material instant gratification industry is what sets you apart and superior to the rest of the world who have a completely different set of values ...values that we earned and sweat for, choices that preserved the family structure and community interaction and a conscience for our neighbor, a social conscience and a social responsibility as a culture to embrace human rights and work with tolerance and cooperation, rather than exploit solely for self serving motives and money.

all these things you set yourselves apart with, have left you standing naked.... to the world. in your folly, you have donned the emperor's new clothes and strut on to the stage, blind in your patriotism, poisoned by your media and your diets of drugs and fast, processed , nuked , genetically engineered foods...do any of you remember what a real tomato tastes like???

how many of you have a microwave and use it?
how many babies are plopped in the box in front of barney every morning while mommy gets ready for work and school with a bottle of apple juice to keep them pacified...sigh

ignorance IS the cause of all suffering.... and you are each only educated to the standards of your lifestyles.... step by step the curriculum is placed before you and you just do it. Get secure. amass . protect. i smell fear in this air...a stench worse than rush hour traffic

it makes you treasure your guns, your false sense of freedom and power, while actually you are puppets, and pawns, to be used when they want you and they have programmed that button into you as well so that they can set you up perfectly and push it and you will dance to their star spangled banner and march dutifully to your deaths, whether off to fight their selfish wars or from the viruses of greed that will erode you to the very core, as you fight your neighbor silently , the bigger house, the bigger car, the bigger boat, the bigger arsenal, the bigger brain, the bigger belly, the bigger bomb, until the heart attack, or the cancer, or the hepatitus, or AIDS

they have you.

See, it's possible to find bad news and bad actions by just about any country.

Bloody Hell Spider, you must have really put some effort into finding that lot ...

One report was from 20 February 2004
One from 2007
One about Belgium
One from 2007
One from 2006
... and one from 2001???

So only two out of six are actually this year, one is 6 years old and one is not even about the Netherlands.

I take your point that one could find bad news every where, but I would only need to go to the Times Online and the BBC and I could fill a whole thread with US news.

My point was that US news is more prevalent than Dutch news.

From memory the only time that Dutch-related news made the headlines in the UK was when Pym Fortuyn was murdered.

He may have been an ar5ehole, but does anyone else know who he was? (Without Googling)

Dont just blindly accept what your country tells you.
Most of you do, and thats what frustrates!

Naturally grown tomatoes are everywhere here! We produce enough food to feed half the world! Fruit trees, cabbage lettuce, you want it fresh and you can get it here!

Europe is the ones that squandered all their natural resources and then begin stealing them from every corner of the world in the name of colonialism and empire building!

The greatest of these, Britain, became so weak after two world wars (European Wars) that the US was forced to step in and try to stabilize their former step-children!

Granted we stuck to the ignorance of the past protectors instead of attempting to right the wrongs with new vision, but we also faced a new challenge. That of keeping the world free from communism!

Someone had fill the power vacuum, and had it not been us then Russia would have gladly taken all the oil from the ME, the entire country of Germany, and half of Western Europe to boot!

If we are so bad, then why did your countries beg us to protect them and help them rebuild? Russia would have, I'm sure!

Since the majority of the population that welcomed and witnessed the liberation Americans deaths granted them have died, I would venture to say it is Europe that has forgotten!

That is good though, it is nice to see that our efforts have helped you regain your old cockiness and stagger. Maybe, it is time to break the apron strings and let y'all fly on your own again! Surely you dont think you do now!!

Alas and I am done, if the EU is ever to be as successful as the US, you must get all to adopt the Euro as a national currency, and it wouldnt hurt if you threw out half the languages and adopted a common one!

Then you could quit bickering about immigration from one state to the next. You should have free travel from state to state in the EU like we enjoy in America!

OOps, one more thing, untill the EU is established as more than a dream, quit *****ing at us about Globilization. If we trade only amongst our 50 great States we are already closer to Globilization than Europe! Think how screwed up we'd be if New Jersey *****ed considered Pennsylvanians as foreigners!!

<------THROWS A ROTTEN TOMATO AT FANTA!!!

American or Canadian tomato??

Do they grow maters in Canada!!!

ya my dad has maters in his yard!!!

They obviously grow too many psychotropic drugs near Fanta's house.

Yo Glen ... stop sniffing the glue too, man.

Step children? ... where does he get all this bu11sh1t from?

LMAO, Its right here in my script belushi!

Tommy Thompson is mailing them to all of America!!!

It's no use. Generations of brainwashing has obviously had an effect. Sounds a bit like communism!

shrooms, everywhere the shrooms, gotta love them shrooms!

Bloody Hell Spider, you must have really put some effort into finding that lot ...

They are all (save one) from the same website, only took a couple minutes actually.

Look into the "Bad News" project in the Jerusalem Post. A Jew was finally tired enough of being bashed by the media in the Netherlands (and the rest of the world), so now they have a section dedicated to only bad news about the Netherlands. They have shown that the opinion about the Netherlands has had a major shift to the negative for their readers. It's an experiment to prove that because the media only prints articles that are negative to Israel, the media has molded public opinion. Because the media focuses on the negatives of the Iraq war and George Bush, the public have a negative opinion about them. It's easily demonstratable that people who get their news from left wing sources have a distorted view of Iraq, Bush, WMDs, Saddam, Iran and the list goes on.

Left, right, left, right!
