I think that's absolutely true.

LOL! You must be my neighbor at the end of the street with the other American Flag on the block.

(Although not on my street - this is true of my town probably. For SURE the county that I live in.)

Ha haaa! Planet earth unites in sniveling turd-world jealousy.


Eat our American dust, losers!

"...that America uses its economic predominance, particularly over the mass media, to impose its debased culture — fast food, pornography, cinematic violence and Britney Spears, on the rest of us."

What amazes me is that it is the most liberal faction in America controls the entertainment industry yet somehow conservatives in America are blamed for our so-called cultural imperialism. Even the casual observer should be able to recognize the schism between the entertainment industry and the foreign policy of the United States. Somehow they just skip over this inconsistency when criticizing the U.S.

That's just it. Everybody just takes taking our dollars, but they don't want us. Everybody wants our lifestyle, but not us. Without us, where would they be?

That's a very interesting question. Why don't we start by asking the people of Iraq? Perhaps the answers we got would enlighten us.
