I am very sure that the American has just as much. Bush might just one day go insane and start firing all of the US weapons at the world. Its all about FUCKING PROPAGANDA i tell you. Your fuckin country is filtering out all the "stuff" they want you to know... and all the information they don't want you to know!
Now, we know Taranaki and others who we debate with do not hate americans. By readin this, we know Endlesskev hates Americans. Can ya'll see that differnce? I can.

The reality is, if the US economy fails, the Asian economies fail. Europe would feel the pain to, but not as much. We are the worlds largest net importer be several magnitudes. If people here don’t have money to spend, not only will local businesses hurt, but every country who has a large portion of its economy tied to exports will be in trouble. Japan, Korea, Canada, China, Mexico will be first on the list of countries who will have troubles. It’s a cascading effect too. See http://www.geographyiq.com/ranking/r...ports_aall.htm and http://www.geographyiq.com/ranking/r...ports_aall.htm for whole numbers (fyi).

I would say it's not the laws that "allow" children to take weapons and kill people, but rather, I would place the blame on parents. I was miserable in school and hated everyone, and could have had access to guns (as could a lot of people) but I didn't go on any rampages.
Simplistic gun control (no guns for anyone) doesn't sound like the best idea anyhow...all that happens then, is that the good, law-abiding citizens don't bear arms, but the criminals will still be able to aquire them (they always find a way).

The only really SUCCESSFUL gun control I've heard about is in a town back east, where it is a felony to be in possession of a gun while drug dealing, or if the suspect has a prior conviction for violent felony.. There is a 5-year minimum sentence attached to the possession of that gun, in addition to any other sentence imposed, and there is no chance of parole. Thus, regular, ordinary joes are allowed to own guns, as is their constitutional right, but the people most likely to use those guns for the wrong purposes - in a drug deal gone bad, whilst being chased by police, etc. don't have guns in their possession at the time. The show I was watching (it was on TLC, I think) interviewed a bunch of people who were basically known druggies etc., and all of them said they didn't carry weapons anymore.

The reason this post was made isn't because we think were better than any other country. It's just when countless other countries do dispicable acts, and our GOOD acts get put under ever microscope in the world. Are we really supposed to end up believing something other than Jeolousy. As far as i can think, it's the only thing that makes any sense since every other country that had ever scrutinized us, has had a past far more deserving of the scrutiny than that of what we recieve, while we aren't even allowed to continue with our actions for the good of the world.

Millions? Hardly. Where did you get that?

And we can control or WMD's. Saddam can't.

How dare you say you hate americans you fucking prick. Nobody here said we hate anyone, what gives you the right to say you hate our entire nation that has so many different types of people. This nation has people that have the same outlook on the war on Iraq as you do. And you say you hate americans as a whole. I have respect for taranaki, Jimster, and anyone else who has argued the point the way it should be argued. But that was the shittiest way ive ever seen a reply introduced. We don't hate Iraq, yea we are at war with their dictatorial supportors and ruler, but we dont hate iraq. did we hate Afganistan when we were attacked by Al Queda living within the country, NO. If you hate America, you minds well hate Britain, and while your at it Australia, Poland, and all the other Slavic countries, that are all joining our war efforts bravely. I hate the way you presented your mentality and i hate that quote, "I hate Americans" Do you know how many times we heard terrorists like Bin Laden and others use that EXACT QUOTE! Moderators- there are two ways to debate, sharing ideas, and recieving them. But when i hear something that sick-minded, i get deeply offended. I can honestly say that i did not even bother to read the rest of his reply, it has lost all meaning whatsoever.

Precision guided munitions = minimal civilian casualties.
Saddam's regime = more civilian deaths than this war.

Would you rather be the people liberating the Iraqis, or would you like us to do it? I hate this thread, and im not trying to bash anyone, however I certainly think we have bailed many countries out of serious stuff. Im supposing you watched the news? Maybe you noticed how happy the citizens of Iraq are?

My case here is done.

Don't judge him too quick, he's probably being truthful. I leave out words all the time, especially important ones. Makes me look like an ass. Just be more careful endless, and do a little research, especially around these threads.
