yes, we the American people sent our military abroad, we also made our health care private because we love paying for stuff. we have as much control over that stuff as you do in canada. come on here talking about how superior Canada is like your the reason it's so amazing. you have nothing to do with the way Canada conducts business. you just live there
That's what voting is for. Last I checked America was a republic. We vote for representatives that will enact policies we agree with. There are political parties that are against foreign military engagement. Vote for them if that's what you want.
lol thanks for the tip
I don't follow? I always thought Socrates was originally from African who taught in Greece?
u know what the definition of terrorism is right? its when you use violence for political purposes. so say a cop attacks a protestor, that cop would be a terrorist. and every time the US government attacks countries around the world, they are committing acts of terrorism, and are the biggest terrorist organization in the world.
Son you are so far off base I don't know where to start. Let's look at empires. The Mongolian empire. The Aztec empire. The British empire. So many others throughout history. Generally a dominant group, either in numbers or technology, sometimes both, forces it's will on other groups, benefiting from taking away their wealth for it's benefit. Killing, enslaving, imprisoning those who resist. Usually collapsing in time from it's own corruption and decadence, or being stopped and defeated by it's adversaries. Granted the U.S. meddles in other countries' business, and has invaded some countries. But name the countries that we are running, with our military there forcing them to do our bidding? The closest we've come to acting like an empire was in the Phillipines in the early 1900's and Nicaragua in the late 20's. Installing puppet regimes like the Shah of Iran isn't the same thing as having your troops and your bureaucracy running everything as the Soviet Union did or the British Empire did. And Michael Moore is a socialist who tries to put everything in a bad light because he hates capitalism with a passion.
Again, Google is your friend. Learn a few things, looks better when you expound that you actually know the subject.
to broadly list off some places, you could start with latin america, and the middle east. you influence alot of developed countries as well. 2 obvious examples of american empire was vietnam when america crushed the democracy they were going for there, and iraq when you stole their oil. michael moore is right regardless of him being a socialist or capitalist.
well theyve been radicalized, and they are getting revenge for US government destroying lives around teh globe all for control of resources
canada sucks too, and its marginally better than america. im trying to leave.
hey i cant blame you. i think its a bit of a dive, america is a much nicer country to visit.
Begging your pardon but the U.S. defended capitalism in South Vietnam against communists in North Vietnam. We didn't crush democracy there. Nor did we steal the oil in Iraq. Heck one of our biggest headaches with ISIS is they are selling Iraqi oil to finance their operations. Again, you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what an empire is. Tell me something, after beating Germany and Japan in WWII why didn't we just stay and run their countries and take their wealth? That's what Russia did in Eastern Europe. Did we run all over Europe like the Nazis, or over East Asia like the Japanese? No we didn't. We developed trade with all of these countries. The U.S. had the luxury of being the only real industrial power after WWII as everyone else rebuilt. That's why we had decades of prosperity. The world is much more competitive now and that means it's much tougher for us working folk to make a decent living. This makes the disparity between rich and poor more glaring and people like Michael Moore and Bernie Sanders find a much more receptive populace for socialist ideas. If this ultimately leads to civil unrest the wealthy in too many cases won't have no one else to blame as they hoard the wealth for themselves. But people do need to take a look at socialism in other countries and see if that's truly the answer before tearing this country apart.
Ever hear of Istanbul, Turkey? It used to be called Constantinople. It was the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire and seat of Eastern Orthodox Christianity. Muslim today. Most of southern Europe was controlled by Muslims for centuries before being driven out. The Crusades were an attempt to regain Christian lands from Muslims. There's an element in the Muslim world that believes the entire world should be Muslim and are working towards that goal. This was happening long before the U.S. came along and will never stop. But of course the America bashers think everything bad that happens in the world is completely America's fault. If ignorance is bliss they are truly happy.
im not saying everything that bad happens is because of america...just most of it LOL
when you use force and violence to defend capitalism, thats crony capitalism.
