HGS, although you have made some good points that I agree with, I am still an American and your statements putting down America as a country piss me off. If the rest of the world hates us so bad, why don't they give back all of the Foreign Aid assistance we keep pouring out every year? I believe the total is around $100 BILLION. The last talley for New Zealand was $268 Million a year. Maybe you're just mad because other countries receive more aid than New Zealand? I guess countries won't get upset when we pull our armed forces out and leave it up to their own governments to protect them. If the rest of the world hates us so much, why is there a steady influx of foreigners trying to become US citizens?


Is America perfect? No, but don't spit in the wind my friend.
