OT - the US is a lousy world citizen

[neil (archive)]

Following in the traditions of my other unwelcome OT comments here about the US in world affairs from time to time I want to say in your face just before Christmas (the time of goodwill among all men) how disgusted I am that the representatives of your country walked out of climate change discussions today. This and the UN criticism of secret prisons and also barring detainees visits from the Red Cross is a disgraceful reflection on all people in the US never mind the expensive destructive vengeful folly and abuses in Iraq... I don't know why it is that the thinking of Americans has become so perverted but you have all lost the plot and elected idiots twice...where are the good Joe Americans? rational sensible sociable right-minded folks? maybe there are none - maybe everyone has made money his God and everyone is a yes man or woman? Why is the US such a lousy world citizen? What the hell are you going to do about it???

Ok so now I feel better.
You can send me molten email in return. )

The very strange thing is that all my US friends would agree with you (all West Coast) Have you listened to the words of the new Rolling Stones single, very appropriate. To the effect of " We practise democracy if you are with us, but if you are against us, you can expect prison without trial"

SON OF A BITCH! I've been reading comp.cad.solidworks for less than two weeks. I was looking forward to reading what I thought would be a "let's get down to business" newsgroup where somebody wasn't injecting their personal political agenda every chance they got.

I'll either go elsewhere with the question I was about to ask or start yet another killfile in this "professional" newsgroup.

I agree that posts which have as their purpose only political commentary don't belong here, but I also don't want to start insulting people. Doesn't matter whether I agree or disagree with Neil's views.

Next time slip in a couple "SolidWorks" for the sake of the newsgroup.

Such as you just did?

Why in the world would you think that you & Rush were right? Or that neocons can spell "truth"?

Why, I'm doing easily three times as much as you are! How much is that? Let's see...

Maybe I should douoble my effort.

Has it occurred to you that this is your perception of the US only because you disagree with these events as you perceive them? Do you realize that your thinking sounds perverted to the people who disagree with you based on their perception of these events, and they wonder if there are any right- thinking people left in the world?

Has it occurred to you that people in the US, including the leadership are not actually against protecting the environment, but have criteria as to how to go about it? I haven't looked at any of the details, but the news this morning is that the talks that we walked out of have reached a resolution, including the US.

Bringing off-topic, un-reasoning insults to an international forum doesn't lend credibility to you or those who think as you do. Not very diplomatic. Us-and-Them thinking is not what the world needs when trying to reach world-wide agreement on how to manage the environment we all have to deal with.

Why is the US such a lousy world citizen?

What the hell are you going to do about it???

I gave up all hope when the whole country stopped what it was doing and played the Who's Under Bill's Desk game. Is there such a thing as Societal Senility? Just look at Kansas. Maybe exess prosperity always leads to perversion. People are so easy to manipulate.

you are displaying the obvious effects of narrow news sources. when you accept as fact propaganda instruments like CBC, you are probably the ones who are electing idiots.

post it anyway I might be the person who answers it. ;o)
have a nice day

nah send me a marine! everyone listens to a marine right... ;o)

 

[neil (archive)]

ah no I am not I don't live in the US I get my news elsewhere )

 

[neil (archive)]

I am not aligned to any party view...

 

[That70sTick]

I wouldn't waste a marine's time on you. You don't rate. Perhaps send some shitbird sailor retired after 30 years after never making chief...

I have had enough of the US world thinking so I said my piece. It needs to be said - I don't expect it to be popular. I am not interested in being ploughed under by subtle forms of conformity. Most of the world thinks and functions differently than the US. The US needs to deal with their issues.

 

[neil (archive)]

LOL

 

[neil (archive)]

BTW the day was most likely saved by Bill Clinton who said the US position was "flat wrong" to applause... and guys I simply don't care about the hostile reaction to my post because there are more important things in the world than bugs and how tos but I accept that this is a SW newsgroup and much to your relief no doubt I will move on to other things...
Have a happy Xmas ;o)

Spain, France, and Great Britain all had their chance to f**k up the world in the last two centuries. Now it's our turn.
