I didn’t doubt your inteligent reaction to my post, but can you say that you are reprisensative of the general views of “The American”?
I didn’t know John Wayne was a Canadian, now that I am surprised about. I doesn’t however alter what I was saying in so far as he was used as an image, not an indevidual. I was talking about the Hollywood view of world history as I am sure you know. Your ideas on WW2 are not that silly, but they are much as I would have thought. There is little point to be served fighting out a detail by detail argument, you are American & I (almost) Europen, we will never agree & it could just get nasty, why go that way?
My main point was & still is, we only see & hear what is projected out of America, do we really know what the average American is really like & really thinking? I doubt it & having said that it is for people like you to take a balanced & more understanding view of what it is we see as America, don’t be so quick to blindly defend, because you know that there are failing that need to be seen as failing. When you defend everything American you lose credibility. I have an American daughter & American friends & I love them, but THEY (& you)are not America.

Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner, some of us have to work, some of the time.

“.. wait . let me do some math here...
all the stuff i believe can be counted, it might be a lot but its countable ..
all the stuff i dont believe is infinite...
you should at least see the difference between thinking about something and not believing it or not believing something you never thought about.”

Now that is what I would call semantics.
If I have never thought about a thing I can’t possibly believe in it, for the simple reason that I do not know about it, because it has never been in side my head.
If you meant do I not believe in god, along with the tooth fairy, farther christmas et al because I have given the matter thought & rejected the idea, then you are right, but, once having run the thought through my head & rejected it I don’t feel any need to defend it, I forget it & get on with my life. My wife & my friends believe in all sorts of odd things, you probably do too, but none of what you all believe should impact on me, or me on you.
John Donne was wrong, we are islands entire onto ourselves.

In answer to “old fart”
I was talking about the moonwalk so I mentioned American lies, had I been talking about something related to France, Spain, Britain or any place else it would have been that countries lies. When it comes to countries telling lies America comes high or low on the list relitive to what you call it, America or USA, it’s an alphabetical issue.

First, yes, but first what?

Or am I accidentally being cruel & "first" is the only word you can spell?

Where did she learn to do something like that?
You don't just bounce off two walls & catch a ball by accident.
I think we know who the star "player" of that game was.

I have sometimes wondered what some of the younger posters on this site might actually look like, now I know.

PS
I forgot to add, it was the Arabs with the help of other blacks that rounded up the slaves in Africa who they then sold to whomever would buy them. The whites only brought their ships to the coast of Africa to collect what was on offer. Nobody gets to walk away with clean hands if the truth is told.

If you feel the need to fight like with like then that is what people will think you are like.
Michael Moore is a disgrace, he takes perfectly valid arguments & distorts them to the point that no reasonable person wants anything to do with them or him.
When we in Europe are critical of the US we have reason, we have many, many thousands of them here. Only recently have the US forces in Europe been decreasing & please don’t be so silly as to suggest that they were here to protect poor Europe from the USSR, they were not, they were here as a first lineof defence between the US & the USSR, Europe would have just been a usefull battle field to slow the Russians down for a few weeks. Our homes & people would have been turned to ash a long time before mainland America got touched.
What is the real everyday American person like? We poor ignorant Europians couldn’t possibly know, all we know is what the US projects to the rest of the world & it is that self interested blind arrogance that turns many into American bashers. We hate the John Wayne history you believe because we know it is false. Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbour was not a “sneek” attack. The US did not declear war on Germany, Germany decleared war on islationist America. The US knew that Japan was trying to surrender but still dropped the two atomic bombs simple to show the Russians how dangerous the US could be. This is the history they don’t teach in US schools.
The American lives in front of his or her TV & believes what is fed to them via this medium.

No intelligent American would dare to come on this site & say that they are not being lied to on a daily basis via their own media. Michael Moore is an idiot, but he is only the other extreme from the sheeple that refuse to see.

I dislike haters, "hate" is really far too strong a word to use unless you have some form of emotional problem

Aren’t you all being remarkably over simplistic here? The words “good” & “evil” do not belong to any religion, they are words that describe mans behaviour. You might argue that they have their roots in a particular religion, but then you would have to reason that all language does so to extent. You do not need to believe in a god to be good any more than not believing makes you bad. That is childish, simplistic reasoning.
Also
“no Atheists without Theists.”
Rubbish, what I believe will never be dependant on what anybody else might or might not believe.
There is no god, so any argument that goes beyond that is simple semantics because there is no arguesment beyond that.

As for the moon landings beiong real or not, does anybody really care? If they are true, fine, if they are a lie then at least nobody got killed by this American lie, the same could not be said about many other American lies.
