can we pls all agree that any cartoon where america is represented by uncle sam is automatically terrible and not funny

myhand, ever considered that some people are just plain tired of nearly every topic and post you make just surmounting to, "AMERICA IS EVIL! AMERICA IS EVIL! AMERICA IS EVIL!" ?

It's part of the reason why I accuse you of blind hate, because all you ever do is trash talk the U.S. You never criticize the problems of other nations, nor do you ever say anything positive or suggest solutions. It's laughable to expect a good reaction when you keep trying to shove the, "YOUR COUNTRY IS EVIL WAKE UP STUPID SHEEPLE" message down everyone's throat.

No matter what you accuse me of, its pointless unless you argue against it and prove me wrong.
You want me to ignore the brain tumor and rather talk about the cough. I get it already. But it won't be happening. As long as US politics are the greatest threat to humanity, I will speak about them.
Besides, I am more than willing to criticize other nations or institutions whos policies show an equal disregard for democractic and humanitarian values and who pose and equal peace for freedom and world peace. Such countries include Israel, Germany or the EU for that matter and I have criticized them in the past.

The reason why I am criticizing China and Russia to a smaller extend is simply not because I don't think there is anything to criticize, but that your Media is already adressing them with overexaggeration and hipocricy in abundance. They are already overrepresented in the media.

Actually I'd rather you stopped screaming about brain tumors when a cough is all there really is.

Pffttt, talk about exaggerating. Look myhand, just calm down. The U.S isn't going to go out and conquer the world, there is little desire for that here and it's not doable anyways. We aren't going to nuke anybody either, that panic was solved during the Cold War. The U.S is capable of some terrible screw-ups but it's not going to do anything that will end the world.

Such countries include Israel, Germany or the EU for that matter and I have criticized them in the past.

Well, I'll concede that up until a few months or so ago I only occasionally lurked the forums. So you might be right here, however as of late the only things I've seen from you is Anti-US threads,Anti-US threads, Anti-U.S threads...

@myhandisonfire

I'm not a fan of how America is run either. That's why I have yet to vote at 26 years of age. But pointing out problems is useless unless you suggest solutions. Others have alluded to this in their posts, but they also included attitude in that forced you to only respond to that attitude.

So America has problems, I agree. How do we fix them?

still haven't responded...

I am just pointing it out...

It's not an exaggeration, it's just more insight into these topics than you have.

TTIP and TISA USAmerican brainchilds - greatest current threat to worldwide democracy.
CIA engangement and Coup de Etats - greatest current threat to worldwide sovereignity.
The demonizination of- and noncooperation with- the ICC - greatest current threat to worldwide justice.
The republicans fight against net neutrality - greatest current threat to worldwide freedom.

What in reality you can see from me are:
Pro-justice, Pro-democracy, pro-freedom, pro-nationalsovereignity, pro-pluralism, pro-humanitarian values threads.
You just happen to read them:
Anti-US, Anti-US, Anti-US, Anti-US, Anti-Us, Anti-US threads...

Edited 3/18/2015 23:30:54

None of the threads you make promote pro-anything. All they serve to do is inflame hatred against the United States. If you'd actually come up with solutions instead of just picking out and exaggerating problems than the topics would be productive.

None of the things you listed classify as "greatest threat to humanity". The republicans fight against net neutrality only affects U.S citizens whether they succeed or not. TISA and TTIP are likely to fail in a similar manner as SOPA did. The ICC (I assume you were referring to the International Criminal Court, there are many organizations with the same abbreviation) doesn't really seem necessary, and regardless the U.S is only one among dozens of nations that haven't gotten fully on board. (Biggest examples India,China, and Russia).

The only big issue I agree with is the CIA, which isn't a newcomer to law breaking. They need to be reigned in along with a few other select agencies of the government.

@myhand

What is your solution?

TTIP and TISA
are not of the table. The german government for instance has plans to massively promote it again in a campaign. And if they should eventually fail , which is something we all should hope for, it is due to the fact that the resistance against it in the old world was severely underestimated.
You effort in trying to marginalize it's importance and it's effect it would have on europe just shows how much you distanced yourself from reality.

Net neutrality
is the most important issue of them all. The internet shifted the power in the world dramatically. The world populations access to free information has changed the way governments, nations , cooporations or almost anything in the world are perceived. Elites-close think tanks in the USA are aware of how immensely more difficult the internet made their work of disinforming the general public with their propaganda. Everyone willing can now go online and have a different uncontrolled point of view (which usually is much closer to the truth). In short, they have identified the free internet as the greatest threat to their power ever. They will do anything to stop the access to independent information and they will mask their actions as usual as very beneficial for the general populace (see Snowden, Assange).
Btw, there is nothing that is done in the USA which has an effect on only the USA. If the USA would keep to themselves, we really wouldn't have any of these discussions.

The ICC
is an instituion that if accepted and ratified by a majority of countries could change the shape of the world drastically. It would end unjustified military engagements, stop war crimes (maybe war alltogether) and establish a new era of peace and prosperity for all of us, since every nation would be accountable for its actions before a criminal court. The reason the USA and China and Russia for that matter, yes, are that they don't want to be accountable for their actions. They are fully aware about the extend of unjustified military actions and war crimes they are commiting on a daily basis. Let me remind you that it was the USA, that gave the idea for the criminal court when they decided to establish the tribunal against milosevic after the war against Serbia 91-99. The Europeans liked the idea and made this tribunal a permanent court, but that was all but in the interest of the USA. They adviced all their instituions by threat of high treason charges to not coooperate with this beacon of justice.
Again you marginalize an important international instituion because it threatens US-hegemony.

Why you are so happy to marginalize these threats against humanity, I do not know. Maybe you just really have no idea of how important they are.

P.S.: Let me guess the greatest threats against humanity in your eyes: Russia, Comunism, China, North Korea, Iran, Islam, Anti-Americanism, Anti-Capitalism and Hispanics in the USA.

@hinky pinky: solution to what?

NOW SEEKING ASSISTANT CLAN MANAGER! (It's really hard)

myhand, I'm not marginalizing, you're simply exaggerating. Is TISA and TTIP a problem? Yes. Will it cause global anarchy and lead to apocalypse? No. Is internet censorship a bad thing? Yes. Will it lead to the end of all mankind? No. Will civilization cease to be without the ICC? No.

Are you seeing the pattern here? You're building these issues up as if the fate of the world depends on them, trying to make the issue loaded with phrases like, "Threats to humanity". It's true these are important issues, but they aren't of the dire consequence you're trying to make them out to be.

I don't care about "U.S hegemony". We aren't the empire that you've deluded yourself into seeing.

P.S: Nice assumptions there. Don't you know what they say about assuming? But I'm going to humor you and address those topics briefly.
Russia: A threat to Europe maybe, but not a threat to the rest of humanity unless nukes get involved.
Communism: Pffft. Communism is almost dead.
China: Ehhh...not really.
North Korea: A highly-militarized dictatorship with nuclear capabilities that has often threatened to annihilate it's enemies? Only an idiot would say they aren't a threat.
Iran: Not a threat unless they get nuclear weapons.
Anti-Americanism: To be honest I don't feel threatened because some foreigners constantly spout propaganda against my country online.
Anti-Capitalism: Uhhh...Communism essentially?
Hispanics in the U.S.A: Legal immigration is fine by me. Even the illegal kind is more of a minor issue than a major one.

^They take jobs from Americans that woupdate take the jobs anyway.

Excuse me, but why is this a bad thing? Eventually, there will be social equilibrium where wealth distribution will be as good as it can be

you're simply exaggerating. Is TISA and TTIP a problem? Yes. Will it cause global anarchy and lead to apocalypse? No. Is internet censorship a bad thing? Yes. Will it lead to the end of all mankind? No. Will civilization cease to be without the ICC? No.

Typical Strawman Fallacy.
I never said that would be the case, nor is that reason why its so terrible. As of late i came to realize that arguing with you is futile. You simply have no idea what you are talking about.
You are so naive that you even believe that North Korea is considered a threat. It's not a threat at all, it's hilarious. Your countrys elites dont consider it a threat, they consider it a gift of god. A nuisance to China and a justification for all the idiots behind the propaganda tv screens to have an anti-chinese military build up in the region.

That being said, I am tired of breastfeeding you every subtelty of international politics. You can continue to indulge in your absurd irrational world view and I will continue to drop one liners on you.
Then you can accuse me of blind anti americanism, since you dont have the intellectual capacity to understand any of my explanations.
You had a chance to actually learn something.

Yea another country trying to war another country total isn't a threat.

Great Lucid Dreamer, so you agree that Israel is a threat? That was suprising.
