| It took the Soviets four YEARS to get from Berlin to Paris? Maybe 4 DAYS if they were driving their tanks slowly. |

No America = No D-Day.
Sure, the Brits and Canadians were more than proportionately represented on the ground, but without the industrial power of America D-Day would have simply been a logistical impossibility.
So the Soviets would've had to defeat the Nazis almost entirely on their own while Britain weathered it out. |

Agreed. Let us go further back. A world without America would be a world with the Americas being cleared of most of the original inhabitants. (Though that was primarily the fault of colonial powers, not their descendants.)
Oh, and a world without America would be a poorer world? For whom? I think one could argue quite well that the lives of people all over the world would have developed quite differently, and very possibly more healthily, had Europeans stayed home.
My point: this kind of propaganda is both pointless and disgusting. One can twist these arguments any which way.

If you're referring to the message's simplicity, then yes, I agree with you. It is complete bollocks. I'd give my audience more credit and give them a much more articulated view of the purpose of America's existence. |

Actually, it's not the simplicity, although that is insulting to my intelligence; it's the whole message. 'The whole world is safe only because of America. Everyone owes us big-time! Look on my works, ye worthless, and worship me.'
Please do explain the real purpose of America's existence. I would be most interested to hear it. |

The video did get it right when "Frozen Food" flashed across the screen. Refrigeration is one of the greatest inventions in the world, along with another American invention, the internet. |

What exactly does that mean?

Bravo America's life!! But are you honestly trying to tell me that if refrigeration hadn't been invented by an American that it would never have been invented? People from other countries are eminently capable of inventing things too, and indeed have managed one or two things. |

Why is it that an American proud of his country's accomplishments is offensive to you?
I can appreciate American inventions and those of other countries.
For every ugly American, there apparently is some commonwealther with an inferiority complex.  |

Indeed. Why is it that Canadians can walk around with maple leaves tattooed on their foreheads, talk about how great their country is, and point out everything that Canada has ever done, but the moment an American says anything positive about his country he's "the typical arrogant American?" |
