Having a military does not make a country militarized. Only a complete imbecile would look at US society and say, "Hey, that's a military culture!" |
you are clueless. i guess the rest of the world must be imbeciles because clearly the usa is a military culture and most of the world agrees. heard of american "gun culture"? the nra? freedom to bear arms and the huge uproars it causes with the masses whenever it's questioned by anti-gun lobbyists?

you are out of your mind if you believe this to be true. just one example: ever heard of a guy named edward snowden? he was pretty much dead in the water if he had stayed in america.

Huh? The US does not have father-to-son power transfer. The US has elections, actual elections, even for the presidency. North Korea has the despot in charge (who is effectively a king) designate which of his sons will be the new despot in charge. |
i'm amazed at what kind of rock you've been living under. ever heard of the bush family? the kennedy family? the astors? the rockefellers?

YOU are the one who seems absolutely clueless about the world. you can't possibly believe the nonsense you put in your last post. read a book, the news, anything might help you at this point. |

There's quite a difference between "gun culture" and "military run". Or perhaps you are the one who doesn't have a clue to see that.

What? No trial before executions? And you call me clueless.

Heard of all of them. Care to show how the father to son transfer happened without an election, you lying sack? That should be fun since the two Presidents Bush had someone in office between their tenure. Kind of negates the father-to-son transfer assertion.

You're being far too generous to the complete travesty that is capital punishment in the United States of America. And that puts aside the fact that America has willfully assassinated at least one of its citizens without trial (and killed his son as well, who evidently should have "had a more responsible father."). |
Eh? What are you on about? |

Sorry. Thought it was important. A couple of dead terrorists. No big deal. |
It is debatable if Awlaki was a terrorist. His son most definitely was not. Thank you for showing your ignorance on the subject. |
Debatable according to whom? More than likely the information on him being a terrorist was classified was to protect the source. My guess would be a deep undercover source. Revealing how they knew he was a terrorist would reveal the agent's identity.
Thank you for showing your ignorance about the intelligence community. |

They have the emails from him. He was a propagandist for sure, but whether he was involved beyond that is not clear. As for the son, the official line is that we killed him by accident and he wasn't a terrorist.
"Obama was "surprised and upset and wanted an explanation" when he learned of Abdulrahman al-Awlaki's October 2011 death, which one former White House official calls "a mistake, a bad mistake.""

Yes, exactly. They were reading all his e-mails and tracking him overtly. If there were any emails or encounters tying him directly to terrorism, they would have publicized it. No worries about revealing a source. |

I'll bite. Care to explain both of these assertions? |
The politics in the USA is under the influence of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis in a very materialistic way. This is a very 100% Marxist concept. As a result, you can see the non-materialistic rise of pious Christians in the USA. When the Marxist Bolsheviks rose in Imperial Russia, what happened? A sudden outward consolidation of the Russian Orthodox Church. The USA is following not same but a similar path as Imperial Russia right now. |

Actually, I thought CentralCali made some good points except for the wealth gap. The U.S. has one of the worst wealth gaps in the world and IMHO is one of if not the #1 problem in the U.S.
That said people should not take this thread so seriously. It is all for fun...after all both countries DO have a mountains, right?
Personally, I thought the OP was pretty funny...though not exactly academically correct. |
