First of all, since when have I sounded like I've said that I think America is better than everyone?  And secondly, the terrorists aren't lesser people, they're just people who have made MUCH worse mistakes.

You said:
QuoteThough cliche it's true.  The good guy always wins.
And others have said
QuoteNo one beats the Red White and blue
and
QuoteWe shall anihalate them all
In the terrorists eyes they are the good people.

Gamefreak

I didn't say a couple of those things.  And, what IS good and what people think is good, are two totally different things.

Rev Rabies

yeah TZ i said the second one. And America isn't perfect

Here's a few examples:
Vietnam war
Watergate
Monica Lewinsky.

No Country is it's just me and GF have great pride in our nation.

QuoteI didn't say a couple of those things.

Thats why I said after your quote "others have said".

Therefore no one is good, we all think we are good but in other peoples eyes we are not good and pathetic and vice-versa.
Lets talk about something else now as i am vair vair bored, we are going round in circles.



Rev Rabies

Ok, Truman's desicison to drop the bomb?
sensible or not?



alical

I don't know...
I guess I think it was wrong but I don't know the alternative, I mean generations have been poisoned by that bomb but the Americans said the Japanese would have fought till the death any way.

Rev Rabies

Yes they would have and if we didn't drop the bombs we would have lost countless lives.

Once again, I am capable of delivering another Star Wars quote that pertains to this.

Obi-Wan: Anakin, come to your senses! Emperor Palpatine is evil!
Anakin: From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!
Obi-Wan: Well then, you truly are lost!

Rev Rabies

Yay! And i can quote Klosterman again!

Everything has to do with history!

Dropping the nuke on hiroshima and nagasaki was a good idea in WW2, it was really the only way to force Japan to surrender

Rev Rabies

or we could have waited untill the USSR got to hitler.

Also we could have fought it out which would have killed tons of americans.



MasterKeyX

precisley, thats why dropping a nuclear bobm was smarter and more effiecient

No one is perfect. America gets mad at germany bombing a passenger ship during world war 2. thats what it says in our history text books. They made a mistake. they told us how big the ship was. A ship that big is not for passengers. America was actually playing dirty, by shipping supplies over to other countries. people dont know that there ARE rules to war. And we broke one. thats why we were bombed. Our nation covers up our history. our bad history anyways. If america's citizens were opened up to the complete truth, there wouldnt be those, "America is better than everyone" Kind of people. All everybody wants is peace. however not everyone cooperates. We all have a purpouse to fulfill. We just dont know what just yet. It could be someone from this very site that ends war, or world hunger. we just have to hope and pray. Like it says on U.S. coin. In god we trust.

My real Poison team in BW2. They all have perfect natures and EV's. I went the extra distance and bred the right IV's into them. Come at me bro.

George Bush (after shocking Ted Kennedy to death) Every, single liberal, including that professor at that Ivy League university, is now an enemy of the State.
