Discussion: Why does the USA have people pressed? - Page 15

EastCoastTM

I found it so ignorant when USA citizens act as if the US are the only country on North America and don't realize that Canadians & Mexican's are American too.

Propaganda by the countries media.

Well he said intervened and started.

Many wars have happened and continue to happen solely because of the United States, whether by direct intervention or as a result of policies and leaders they imposed on those countries. I would argue that America losing power (as is already starting to happen) and not being a superpower anymore would significantly decrease the amount of wars in the world.

So wars have always happened they will always will happen that's our nature.

And you would be on the losing side of that argument. America is in decline and that's actually a huge worry on the gobal scale because there have actually been studies done on what would happens if the American empire fell and there was no assumed heir to the throne. The mass conclusion is that there would be a mass dash for power between the stronger countries and the smaller ones would close off themselves from the rest of the world in order to defend itself while waiting it out to see who would win. Somebody's got to be in charge to keep the peace that's been proven time and time through out of history.

Since that time they have scaled back significantly. Numerous countries that we used to control we gave independence (The Philippines, etc) and we have become far less interventionist than we used to be.

Yes they have a strong economic presence, but it is not the same thing as control.

Tell that to the Palestinians Israel is currently murdering with US weapons.

Things like that happens every day and we don't notice it. Many US companies are more powerful than some countries' presidents. They can even choose what presidents these countries should have.
The situation in Africa, Asia and Latin America is just terrible.

I personally think that being the world's policeman is not wrong but the fact that they take advantage of that is not good.

Their power is not the problem, is the way they use it.

All I have to say to that is that war is such a profitable business and everything is about business.

Well, I think it's a shame that war is an enterprise. I don't like blood money.

Yet the nations would still be warring with or without those weapons. Do you think Israel would even exist right now if it wasn't for us? The only reason some of the countries have not invaded Israel is b/c we have their back and are keeping the peace.

The issue with Israel is Britain's fault. Which happened to be the previous superpower. You see where this going.

Israel should not exist in the first place. Not where it is currently.

Those were actually the worst reasons to have ever been listed tho

That doesn't really matter. A freedom is a freedom even if it has more consequences than not. You've been given the trust to hold that kind of power in your hand and you've been given the freedom to make your own personal decisions with it. That's the entire point of being free, not having so many restrictions placed on what you can and can't do by your government.

Technically they aren't American which is why they are in fact called Canadians and Mexicans. Americans are born in the US

That ship has sailed. Nothing can be done about that now so I am not sure why you waste the time to bring it up....

I don't agree with this. If she didn't want a child she shouldn't have "accidentally" gotten pregnant. I don't think you should kill what will turn into a living human being.

A condom can break. It's rare, but it happens.
The pill can fail its purpose. It's rare, but it happens.
Almost any conventional form of contraception can fail. It's rare, but it happens.

Don't use quotation marks on the word accidentally here. That's anything but cute, it sounds like you're insulting all woman who get pregnant when they didn't want to and probably used contraception that simply failed.

A woman who aborts a pregnancy can go on and have a child later in her life when she actually WANTS one. She can get pregnant 2, 3, 4, 5 more times if she wants to. On the other hand if the woman doesn't abort (or isn't allowed to) even though she doesn't really want that child, there is no going back. She has to deal with it now.

Do you see the difference?

Messy.
