Quoting CANLI: Quoting karekin04: I agree with Keith that it is very unwise to bring up Bush and start defending in this particular thread. As much as I wish I could keep my mouth shut on this one I'm sorry but.... no can do. I don't think that because a man is proud or believes in himself makes him a good leader and I'm sure that millions of the deads (American and otherwise, innocent civilians, children and etc.)family members would strongly disagree as well, it is not the democrats painting ugly pictures of him its simply the truth. I think friends we have found a good example of a 'brain washed' american here. Anywho... I am certain that most foriegners do have a horrible impression of Americans and my only defense is... 'I don't have one'... I can see exactly why they feel that way. I agree with TC though that there are TONS of great people here but they come in spurts and you can find us right here on sites like these being open minded and interested in other cultures. So libralady I hope if you ever make it here you can hook up with a few of us ... sorry for your bad experiance  |
The best thing is to be honest with yourself and to look arround you not only under your foot,
Me too don't want to ruin a thread ,and i wouldn't dare to open a thread talk about this too,cause talking will never end,and saving us a headache too we don't need.
İ just want to point out one thing,and you think about it and tell me what you think.
We may agree or disagree about what USA actions.
İ'm saying we agree or disagree with Americans i mean,but most of the word agree on rejecting those actions.
İ don't want discuss that,my point is one thing.
We are adults,we manage somehow to differentiate between American people,and the American's actions.
We learnt to judge every person separately,and judge after hearing him.
But how about kids ?!
How do you expect them to understand this ?
How can you convince them that man who you see him in the news killing people is just opaying the orders,and there are many people who don't want to do this,and there are many good people there.
How do you think they feel about Americans ? |
I really hope you're not implying that I'm being ignorant ... because I do look around, I do a lot of research, virtually my entire family has been in the military at one point, many of them are still serving to this day, I have two uncles in Baghdad, and I am in the military as well. (If I could, I would be in infantry but they don't allow women into it) I could never relate to the way a child might feel, because ever since I was very young I understood the war, I understood the duties being a solider sometimes entails because my grandfather served in them all and I could also see the sadness in war as well. I just can't relate to how a foreign child may see this, but I can imagine it must be saddening, frightening and strange/evil maybe.
and yes, trust me, I don't want to ruin a thread either, so I'm going to cease myself from discussing the bush topic. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions and point of views. I don't like to fight or argue either... especially on a usually peaceful site like this. and I'm sorry if I caused too much a disruption in this thread.
