We liberated Europe and won WWII. I think that's the best thing we've ever done.

Yea you are pretty right about the Bad army, in the 2006 war the Lebanese Army hid while Civillians and Hizballah fought Israel. But Israel did pull out so I dont think that means you kicked our asses.And all Israel really did was Bomb our country fom 5,000 feet in the air, plus you got weapons and support from the Most powerful country in the world, America. Lebanon does not have support from The U.S

We gave potatoes to europe of several hundred years ago, gave us NFL and Nascar, Have Micheal Phelps, have gotten no lower than 2 in the olympics in the past 70years, liberated Europe in WW2 and Helped Greatly in WW1, Invented the Atom Bomb, have the worlds most powerful military, Gave the World Joe Walsh, The Eagles, and Kansas (the Band). Set the stage for democracy as we know it, Created many great jazz songs, Hollywood, Gave the world Walmart, and Fast Food..

Did I leave anything out..

How is Inventing the Atom bomb good again? Ancient Greece actually set the Sage for Democracy, Walmart gets all its products from sweatshops in china where the people get paid like a dollar an hour, And Fast food is a big reason why Health care has gone up, and Also Child Obesity, Heart disease, Diabetes Hae gone up from Fast food too.

And if you think that the NFL and Nascar and Micheal Phelps are some of the Best things that America has done then you need some American History Lessons.

Just cut the crap mate, if you believe that I pulled my second point "out of my a**" then go ahead and dismantle it. You're starting to annoy me.

jointed

if france and germany decide to push higher corprate tax on ireland they can with the help of the lisbon treaty even if the irish government doesn't want to

Which makes the EU and national parliaments, which I was talking about in my second point, all the more important.

umm what, they wouldn't need to be important if you wern't try to push through other idiotic laws

Yes, they would work as excellent political and democratic forums...that's actually one of their main functions at the moment.

Democratic, I would not use that word with the E.U., When some countries wont let there people vote on the treaty

That's a strawman. I never used the word "democratic" to describe the EU as an institution.

And most European countries don't vote on domestic treaties either...does this mean that they're undemocratic?

No,but a while ago the EU let France and the Netherlands vote on something called the Nice treaty.They both voted no.So the EU go back,change the treaty so the public can't vote this time around,and call it the lisbon treaty.But because of Ireland's consitution,the public have to vote,and they vote no.So now we have the president of the EU telling us we have to vote again,and this time vote yes.

The EU is not democratic.Because when a country votes no.They are told to vote again because the president doesn't like the result.

Madbhal402

Deterrence. And it also gave us Nuclear Power.

Ancient Greece actually set the Sage for Democracy,

Madbhal402

Not as we know it today, with a system of checks and balances.

Walmart gets all its products from sweatshops in china where the people get paid like a dollar an hour,

Madbhal402

Which is a lot better than any other alternative for these people.

And Fast food is a big reason why Health care has gone up, and Also Child Obesity, Heart disease, Diabetes Hae gone up from Fast food too.

Madbhal402

It only goes up if you eat copious amounts, Your insurance rate is dependant on how healthy you eat, not how healthy others eat.

Philippines:

survived even after long years of suffering under the Spanish rule where Filipinos were greatly maltreated and discriminated being seen as inferior beings compared to mestizos (Spanish, Chinese, etc.)

survived even after years of suffering from the American-Philippine War in which Americans brutally killed many Filipinos using Scorched Earth tactics

survived even after few years of suffering under Japan (see Bataan Death March)

local languages, traditional culture and folklore still retained even with long years of being colonialized although i'm really sad about the Original Filipino Writing System the BAYBAYIN which is abandoned. Really sad, i like it more than Chinese, Japanese, Korean calligraphy. Also, i see that Philippines is being americanized or westernized as i dislike very much the social part of the western culture especially american no offense.

contributed to the comic industry back in the past (we are very talented in animation and drawing in fact there are japanese who hire filipinos for animations since it's cheaper)

many inventions see: http://www.txtmania.com/trivia/inventions.php

and many many more

WWII Was your mistake, you got yourselves involved and many people died for it.

WWII was our mistake? Did we provoke Hitler or something? We were also allies with Europe and that's how it works...we go in and help. Which we did.

your country was just like any other colonizers in the past. Just look at the Philippine-American War. Even Mark Twain, the father of American literature, was against that war.

i'm replying to his statement (the bolded ones). If he's juust talking about world war II then yes. There was American Imperialism correct me if i'm wrong that defies his general statement that America only helps. Apparently, i should have thought that all they're talking about was just limited to the world war II. Sorry.
