I would say "Just a country with a lot of influence"

Where is the one that says...Kneejerk anti-america sentiment is for lazy intellectuals crowding on the same bandwagon.

I am an American (no suprise) I loathe hate and despise my government. The powers in control of the government lied to the American people. However I still think it is a great place to live and generally speaking you can have a decent life if you work hard. Ask Koreans where they want to study or live. It ain't France! It might be Canada and even New Zealand but mostly America.

Can you people think of nothing else? I worry more about Darfur and places that still allow for woman to be killed because they talked to a man outside their family. Course that doesn't matter cuz well bashing America is so easy.

Read a f&king newspaper and find out where there are real problems.

Limited to one of seven unflattering statements on America, I found myself confused, and decided, ah, perhaps I better think this through.

Actually, wanting an economic empire is the most innocuous choice, I think. Who doesn't want that?

Poll:

How long did it take you to figure out that Green Tea is a sock?

Straight away
one second
less than one second but not straight away
two seconds
three seconds

I'm not gonna vote, but G, political system needs changing, has some justification. The two-terms thing is complete bollocks. It ensures the best president in the universe, Jesus H Christ (said in best southern drawl) himself even, can do only a decade or less.

Yeah of course it is obvious that Green Tea is a sock. He's done pretty well with it so far, but this thread would put even Clandestine to shame. It's nothing but an anti-American troll. How trite?

Is a sock necessarily a troll? I don't think so. IMO Green Tea is definitely and always a troll. He/She may or may not be a sock.

I'm glad he posted, it gave Jaderedux an opportunity to put up a great post.

Heck, Green Tea is even able to let Spinoza shine!

Q: Is Green Tea a troll or a sock?

A: Immaterial, as he is clearly a buffoon.

Dude, you have been contrarian of late. Lighten up and enjoy the board. Like me. ^^

In other news, I don't think anyone would mind a good sock or a good troll, but on Dave's they have no flair, no creativity, no brains. They just suck, and they don't seem to know it. Like Demophobe, Dev and Satori.

(Now that's a troll.)

agreed.

also, can we also add an option that says "until another country in the world steps up to try and do things internationally, i should keep my mouth shut?"

Honestly, I think that, up until now, most posters have known he was a troll and have refrained from responding to his post. This, I think, has infuriated him to the point of having to come right out into the realm of open and blatant trolling.

I think if you ignore him, he will go away.

Everyone, we all know he is a troll. Continuing this thread just gives him attention. I suggest that we all have agreed on his troll status and we let this thread die, along with whatever gems of wisdom he brings to our attention.
