maybe you don't appreciate what your country has done for the world but I do. Every time there's a natural disaster you Americans are the first to offer aid. How many firefighters from the rest of the world showed up for your forest fires? Your midwest gets dozens of tornadoe. Your west coast had a big earthquake. Who offer aid for you?
When Chernobyl blew up, Americans engineers were on the first planes over to give advice. And you were at war with the Russians. When 3 Mile Island blew up did any Russians show up? You Americans may do bad in the world but you always at least try to make good.
Your blacks cry about slavery but forget that a greater percentage of Americans boy died for their freedom in your civil war than the percentage in any other war. You Americans died twice in Europe and didn't ask for one scrap of land when everyone else was helping themselves to our country. Even while you were hanging Nazis you were feeding the German and teaching them Democracy.
Only three years after setting Berlin on fire you sent plane not to drop bombs but candy food and coal because the greedy Russians wanted the city for itself. When they put up a wall, you didn't run, your president walked right up to the wall and said 'I am with you. I am one of you'. Your Ronald Reagan dared the Russians to tear it down and a few years later they did. I hear you Americans complain about 'peacekeeping' mission but you stayed in Europe for fifty years and now I am in freedom.
With all the bloodshed of Vietnam, all Ho Chi Minh had to do was sign a peace of paper for you to leave and you left having done your duty. Ho Chi Minh then stabbed you in the back by invading South Vietnam sending thousands of boat people to flee which you generously took in. Osama Bin Laden was given US aid to help get the Russians out of Afganistan and look how he's repaid your kindness.
I am crying because my best friend was raped and brutalised and left for dead for all the world to see and all I hear from the Muslims is their whining because people point fingers at them. Whining that they might lose their porcelain collection to American bombs attack. But they can go to their precious Mecca and not fear that it won't be there. They can throw their 39 stones at the devil while you American are placing stones on your dead. I don't think it's too much to ask that they part with some of their oil money to help a people in need for once, seeing as how you liberated their sorry asses.
Even when you fuck up big time, it's on your news for all to see. In the old East Germany they had to hide the scaffolding on apartment buildings in Berlin under repair for shoddy construction so FŸhrur Honneker wouldn't be reminded what a fuck up his country is when he drove from his Stasi guarded sub-urban 'compound' to work. Which is another thing you don't appreciate - you can visit your president's house, we couldn't get within a kilometre of ours.
I want to shake you to realize what a precious gift your country is to the world. As the song went 'She may stumble but she ain't never fell!'

I'm sorry if I'm preachy and crabby but I'm off my painkillers which I must take so my blood will be good enough to donate. My friend Zo‘ lied to the Red Cross about her heart pacemaker so they could have another pint...
I tied a little Amerikan flag to or porch column. To make it stay I took an elastic from my favourite jumper...

Date: 2001-09-14 10:12 am (UTC)From:"This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the
most
generous and possibly the least appreciated people on all the earth.
Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy were lifted
out of
the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars
and
forgave other billions in debts. None of these countries is today
paying
even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States.
When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans
who
propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the
streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it When earthquakes hit distant
cities, it is the United States that hurries in to help. This spring,
59
American communities were flattened by tornadoes. Nobody helped.
The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped billions of dollars into
discouraged countries. Now newspapers in those countries are writing
about
the decadent, warmongering Americans.
I'd like to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the
erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplane. Does any
other
country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the
Lockheed Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC10? If so, why don't they fly
them?
Why
do all the International lines except Russia fly American Planes?
Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or woman on
the
moon? You talk about Japanese technocracy, and you get radios. You
talk
about German technocracy, and you get automobiles. You talk about
American
technocracy, and you find men on the moon - not once, but several times
-
and
safely home again.
You talk about scandals, and the Americans put theirs right in the
store
window for everybody to look at. Even their draft-dodgers are not
pursued
and hounded. They are here on our streets, and most of them, unless
they
are
breaking Canadian laws, are getting American dollars from ma and pa at
home
to spend here.
When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down
through
age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania
Railroad
and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose.
Both
are still broke.
I can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other
people in trouble.
Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans
in
trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during the San
Francisco
earthquake.
Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one Canadian who is damned
tired
of hearing them get kicked around. They will come out of this thing
with
their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their
nose at
the lands that are gloating over their present troubles. I hope Canada
is
not one of those."

Russia is doing that too, aren't they?

Date: 2001-09-14 11:03 am (UTC)From:nope, the russians never put a man or woman on the moon........yes, they can get junk and people into orbit, but when you look at their space program, there never was a real program of exploration, just one of domination......read accounts of american astronuts who have spent time in russian equipment orbiting the earth.......safety is not on the top of the list of design criteria........
russian radios?.......junk
russian autos?........junk
not to dwell on my ancestal homeland, but it's a place where they can make titanium nuclear powered submarines and still don't know how to butcher meat properly....
i just bid working on an aircraft hanger across the bering sea in russia......and have been involved with other projects in siberia.....siberia is not just the russian far east, it is all of russia east of the urals......if i have the chance to travel there, i "might".......depending upon what's going on and who we are working for......
btw, the aircraft hanger was sized for an American made (Boeing) jet........and Roman Abramavich, the governor of farthest east russian province, has purchased a couple US made aircraft (Beechcraft) to conduct business between his country and ours.....
