I like Americans, no-one else has ever asked me how I learned to speak such good English (I'm Scottish).
Slightly more seriously, don't Americans realise that the Republicans LOST the last elections? Why aren't you all marching in the streets about this? Why isn't part of the Democrat campaign this time round that the Republicans committed electoral fraud in Florida? I'm sure one of you has an opinion....

APATHY IS THE NATIONAL PASTIME THERE

I'd argue that, but I just can't be bothered.

I think it's probably, because it's funnier to go "So you're a war President? but you've got a lousy war record. Oh you mean you're fighting terrorism, then why did you ignore all the warnings from the previous administration about Al Quaida (spelling?) and why did you not impliment the measures prepaired by the previous administration to help prevent things like 9/11. Admitidly you did do well in afganistan with the millitary Clinton built for you, I guess he didn't butcher it after all."

That's just way more fun, and it doesn't make you look like a bad looser

crazyhorse, nice comment, really added a lot.

Bush won the election, technically. That's why we're not protesting. According to the law, he won.

G.W. is a president with a dream, he has goals set up for us. we should be obedient(spelling?)christians who want to go to other countries and kill the little guys so we can have their oil. we just want to be like him. marching to war with our guns and our sons, really people, is that too much to ask for? we want to see the murderers of our nation hang by ropes in our front yards to show people that we care enough to do the very best to them. is that so bad?

NOW, THE TRUTH!!
I don't care about this jackass we call our president, he is sending young men to die in iraq. there were no weapons of mass destruction!
it was his big play for middle east oil and thats all it was!!

i have no want to kill people, i'd rather have you over for a barbeque and have a few beers and watch a good movie!!
and finally, not everyone thinks like that a@#hole!

couldn't have said it better myself

My point wasn't why do people support him now, but if it was in say, France, there would have been tens or hundreds of thousands of marchers protesting in the streets. The country would have been at a standstill. Do Americans really not give a s**t about the election being fixed by a few Republicans in sunny Fla?

Post 6903.

>>>"the government doesn't control the media"<<<

I need to check that I read that right......and that other people saw that.

Oh, by the way.

(crazyhorse) = Oetzi.

Anyone else think the same?

Hello Dear Mortals. Lord Valkyrie Here. Charmed.

I Am Present And We Are Sorry For It.
Again I Am Just In Time To Suffer You Lot.

Have Any Of You Taken The Time To Look At The Length Of This Thread With Your Lovely Mortal Eyes. What Is Wrong With Americans Are Mortals Just Like This One Who Can Not Think Beyond Red Dwarf And Does Miss It So We Can All Pity Him Or Her Because This One Does Not Represent The Vast Majority Of Those Of Us Born Here In The Good Ole U.S.A. And Recognize The Absolute Genius Of Finally Bringing Back Doctor Who.

What Is Right With Americans. Lord Valkyrie Naturally. Mortal. You Are So Lucky I Was Born Here In The States Because If I Had Not Been My Dear Brothers From Brixton And I Might Feel It Impossible Not To Give You The Ye Olde Smackdown When We Say Mash And You - The Yank Utterly Fail At Just Saying Bangers. Added Plus Side: Americans Created MTV!!!

I Now Pray To My Lord God To Give Me The Strength To Persevere H2g2.

Truly,

Lord Valkyrie

Oetzi, me ol' cock sparrow! Is that you?

I know a sure way to find out, his reaction to two words. Shannon Tweed.

LV- Capital response, old boy.

Apparently the other thing right about Americans is their ability to get really, really weird drugs.

Well, unless he's switched sides, I'd say crazyhorse probably isn't Oetzi. I think Oetzi may have been a casualty of the whole digibox thing, which would be a shame because he was quite the entertainer .

I don't think the media is controlled by the government, although certainly 'regulated'. I'd say rather the major political parties and the media are controlled by people from the same, well I wouldn't call it a clique, its too broad for that, but you get the picture.

And I don't even believe in conspiracies. I doubt there's anyone sitting around thinking how to brainwash 'the people', its just the way things have settled down for everything to be easiest for those with privelege and power.

cl - please stop talking like that. Otherwise I am going have to take off my shoe and beat you with it. Beat you.

Thanks BouncyBit, that's a fair picture. I'd like to add that US has a "wealth of power" when it comes to exporting its media elsewhere. Maybe that's why Saturnine got confused?

dave, numerous people have demonstrated that they have far higher knowledge of modern history compared to you, including myself. Please accept it, and move on, instead of bringing up quotes out of context to try and make me look stupid. It's an impossible feat and it only wastes time.

who brought up modern history?

OK, THE QUESTION IS.....
WHAT'S WRONG WITH AMERICANS?
ANSWER..........

NOTHING AT ALL! We like to hunt other people in other countries rather than our own. We almost totally wiped out the indians,( in which i am one). we put our strangle hold on other countries economies sothat we may dictate our beliefs opon you all. (see tony blair!) we have no morals at all because we are above them. we are trully evolved into super human-kind!! i really don't see the problem with that!
we want you to come here so that we may target you into a lower class citizen and then take your tax money to further some war somewhere and clench our superior mighty fist! don't take this personally people, you haven't seen the light yet, thats all! we have elected the most superior of us all to lead us into battle and wage our wars upon the face of this planet!!!

so, in parting i say, don't hate on the master race people, because we'll finally get sick of hearing you bash on us and we'll send over 250,000 marines for a little attitude adjustment.

oh crap!! did i really say that? must have been watching the news again!!

sorry guys
