Just sit back and HONESTLY ask your self if you would want to live
in a world without the USA? Yes. The world would quite possibly be a damn site better place without the US or at least its leaders but then again we will never know will we. The US has no respect for the individual or their lives. Retaining the death penalty as it does and openly practising torture and the denial of international law suggests the US, or its authorities, is at best a primitive society and at worst a nation of savages. Anon NunYa wrote: It is true that it is quite old; but I poise these questions and statements. The much maligned USA although it is NOT perfect, it is one of the better systems out there and their citizens enjoy a level of freedom that most of the world can only wish for. Now for the questions: What shape would the rest of the world be without the USA? If you were to take any *one* other country off the face of the globe over night the world would continue much the same as what it is now. However should the USA be gone tomorrow morning, how many of you think the world would continue on much the same as what it is now? Now for another statement: I dare say that should the USA be gone tomorrow morning the world would find its' self in quite a dire predicament. The only way I could see the world not self destructing should the USA disappear would be for Canada, England and yes Australia to band together to take up the slack; because although even combined they don't wield not even half the military might of the USA, those three countries DO believe in freedom of democracy and of the individual, England for the rule of law, Canada for stiff necked sticking to what is right and Australia for the individual rights of everyone. Much of the world sits around and knocks the USA; but I just don't think they understand the consequences should the USA disappear. If the USA were more like Russia or even pre-WWII Germany we would rule the world instead of trying to give the countries of the world a chance at self determination. Just sit back and HONESTLY ask your self if you would want to live in a world without the USA? and remember I said honestly without any nationalistic pride or what ever. Just think what shape the rest of the world would be in had the USA never been founded? |

Slavery would have been abolished in 1834, along with the rest of the world...but no, the USA didn't abolish it till 1865 (or was that 1965). The USA sat back until Feb. of 1942 while the rest of the us fought in WW2 from September of 1939. Yes....we were in England at the very beginning and there was a squadron of American pilots who flew out of Canada because they couldn't do so under the American flag. No war in Vietnam.... No war in Iraq..... No Yahoo in Washington who thinks he has a direct line to God, who is *saving the world from terrorists*. Even tho the terrorists came from Afghanistan, not Iraq. Guess he skipped geography in high school. Along with his National Guard duties. Feel free to add to this list, coz I have laundry to do which takes precedence over arguing with a Dimbulb!! Figgs |

OK...a bit of trivia here. It baffles the Yanks every time.
Where did Columbus land when he *discovered* America? The Yanks have statues and a holiday dedicated to him, but they don't know the answer usually. And no fair peeking on Google, grin. They also don't know we whupped their butts in the War of 1812 (when we were still British) and we chased them back to Washington and burned the White House. Canada Rules!!

The fact that you don't call yourselves "Americans" or "North Americans" is commendable but please look at an atlas. All British, French, Spanish, etc. are also Europeans and you are an American. With that logic then people in the Middle East should be called Asians? John |

Slavery would have been abolished in 1834, along with the rest of the world...but no, the USA didn't abolish it till 1865 (or was that 1965). I do not believe in Slavery but! slavery as is thought by most is a myth; because were it not for slavers selling the slaves the slaves would be DEAD!!. Until the tribes started selling their captives into slavery to be taken out side of their country, they routinely killed their captives until the slave ships showed them they could trade them for more weapons to go and attack more of their country men. The USA did NOT invent slavery; but admitted they did continue with it far too long The USA sat back until Feb. of 1942 while the rest of the us fought in WW2 from September of 1939. Yes....we were in England at the very beginning and there was a squadron of American pilots who flew out of Canada because they couldn't do so under the American flag. But without the USA, Hitler would have won and you would now not have Canada or ANY freedom what so ever; because Germany was very close to perfecting their atomic bomb and would have blasted mankind back into the stone age, well all except for Germany. So thank the USA for your freedom; but of course you will not; because the USA is the evil empire until some nation try's to take over the world and then we are the good guy until we save everyone's ars. No war in Vietnam.... Vietnam had been at war for HUNDREDS of years before the USA got there, before the USA the French were there. No war in Iraq..... Maybe not; but if it were not for the USA Iraq would be the very least of the worlds problems; because as I already said, Germany would be ruling the world right now No Yahoo in Washington who thinks he has a direct line to God, who is *saving the world from terrorists*. Even tho the terrorists came from Afghanistan, not Iraq. Guess he skipped geography in high school. Along with his National Guard duties. Feel free to add to this list, coz I have laundry to do which takes precedence over arguing with a Dimbulb!! You just don't get it do you! Without the good ole US of A, you would NOT HAVE A COUNTRY to sit in and spout trash against what is most likely the best country on earth. The USA comes to the aid of everyone and then when their troubles are over their countrymen stab us in the back and call us the ugly Americans. You would not have computers, (American invention) you would not have the Internet, well the list goes one and one; but the biggest thing, without the USA, Germany may have won the first world war and certainly would have won the second and then no one here or any where else would be having any talk on line; because Hitler would not allow it. |

You didn't even enter into WW2 until 1942, so don't give me that crap!! While our guys were dying in battle for 2.5 years, the US ignored the whole thing......until you got creamed at Pearl Harbour!! I get so sick of hearing that if it wasn't for the US, we would be speaking German!! You only get into wars for monetary gain.....not out of caring about the rest of the world. The rest of the world tries to keep the peace, not start wars. HF |
