The only place we are exceptional is in our minds. The rest of the world laughs at us.
So if they're laughing at us they need to look in their mirrors too.
I'm not wanting us to emulate those nutters we're fighting. I'm wanting us to let them alone to wallow in their own misery while we concentrate on trying to stop some of our ours.
I'm not so sure all other countries have done the things we've done from slavery to Japanese imprisonment to waterboarding to not taking care of our citizens healthcare needs. I don't call that exceptionalism.We have a lot of things to be proud of and a lot to be not so proud of. Some countries do a lot better than we do.

Great things have happened in America and so has stupid stuff. I'm not aware of any country which can lay claim to only the greatness part.

But don't take this from a low-life draft dodger like me. How bout a Marine who won the Congressional Medal of Honor twice. Do you really want to dismiss what he said too?

Or how about the American WW2 General who commanded Allied Forces in Europe? He told you the same thing.

Then why was there war before there was money?
Even the indians who we stole this country from had their little wars between tribes.
Believe me, ghandi, the Indians had alterior motives which involved their ideas of material wealth and resources no different than any other human beings. Remember, they didn't give away Manhattan Island. They traded it for what had value to them.Bob wrote:

Money is a medium of exchange ..before money it was exchanging property and produce and some didn't want to pay for it so they stole it by war...same as today.

Land grabbing and resources back then..
Now there's big profits being made by the war machine, at the blood, sweat and tears of the taxpayers..
That's a damn good and damn valid question which should be asked.ghandi wrote:
How much blood sweat and tears have you contributed?

I really don't believe in heaven or hell but if there are such places I'm sure the warmongers will be rotting in hell where they belong..
53% of my tax dollars go to the MIC.. I'm done tryin to explain it to you.. you can't understand common sense and reasoning.. you've been brainwashed by the military like so many others..Not too many navy squids earn more than offshore workers..ghandi wrote:Lurch wrote:A lot of sweat from being taxed so heavily on these Bull Shit Wars..

You're saying the wars raised your taxes?
Wow. I had no idea the government singled you out and put a special "war tax" on your earnings.
I didn't get the war tax. Lucky me. And I'm sure I earn more than you do.

Your tax money. Even his dog eats your tax dollars.
I'm against welfare too.. Why is it that you don't have a problem giving welfare to other countries but when they're in the US it's not a good idea?PACEDOG#1 wrote:Lurch wrote:53% of my tax dollars go to the MIC..

So what if 53% if your tax dollars go to the MIC? Would you rather give it to the slumbum down the street laying on her back poking out kids as fast as she can get to earn more food stamps and a better rent free house?
I'd rather not give government welfare payments to the either welfare bum, the low-life or the fat cat.PACEDOG#1 wrote: Would you rather give it to the slumbum down the street laying on her back poking out kids as fast as she can get to earn more food stamps and a better rent free house?
