FAO Non-Americans

Re: FAO Non-Americans

what's incredibly funny is that Europe has been completely marginalized by Islam over the past three decades. It's become a vast colony that's slowly being devoured and assimilated. Regardless of what the rest of the world thinks, the future belongs to the United States....and perhaps Australia, too. That being said why doesn't anyone ask Americans of our opinion on the foreign countries...?

retarded post of the day... of the week... nah, make it the monthly winner. dude, you're clueless when it comes to europe

Re: FAO Non-Americans

because calling us ignorant and avoiding us when answering questions is a lot easier than finding out most of us are quite intellinent and educated when it comes to things outside our borders. if they dont ask the questions, they dont have to deal with the answers. they call us the nation at war with isalm, yet, we are the ones opposed to things like veil bans and banning religious things. they call us fat cats, yet we have across the board higher per capita household values.

yes, and you also have some of the poorest people in the western world

Re: FAO Non-Americans

he said it wrong kinkster.

maybe, and im jumping the gun i know, he meant to say that europe ignored what islam brings to the table in reagrds to respecting the home countries laws and customs, and assimilating into each regional culture. now they are facing backlashes in a variety of topics, from religious garb (being the most current and media worthy) to the hard feelings of countries who refuse to bend to accept laws and customs based within the islamic culture. the people themselves as well.

i cant defend his comment on the future is that of the USA.
while we are guaranteed to be at least a large key to the future direction of the planet, we arent aiming to be the worlds leader in law and war. maybe, just maybe, he meant it as we will lead the fight for stabiltiy and and equality, as well as economic development. i cant see most of europe heling here, as they cannot find a common ground on certain economic aspects for themsevles.

Re: FAO Non-Americans

we are the ones opposed to things like veil bans and banning religious things. .

do not use the veil ban as a tool to say that europe is against Islam or any religion as it is not the case

Re: FAO Non-Americans

with 300 million within our borders, i accept the fact that there will be poor people. base the numbers on population and the base numbers will be around average.

yes we have homeless, so does every other country.

no but the idea of ''forced assimilation'' is IMHO, both ironic and wrong. it shows that some people, especially in the netherlands where under 100 women actually wear it, have a problem with outsiders. if you want ppl to assimilate into a society, embrace them. those who are feared are the militants. and you should take steps to stop them, not the shop clerk who follows their religion and your laws.

Re: FAO Non-Americans

that is funny. i thought Bush was cleaning up Clinton's mess, and we would be cleaning that up for decades and administrations to come.

Re: FAO Non-Americans

we still are. from the accounting/market POV, it still is quite messy. we are uncovering more scandals than are being reported. the SEC has taken the lead under the SOX act. in the end, money hurts, and it will take time to correct the over inflation of the market. a positive from this end, is that even with the trouble, we are still flying, showing positve signs all the way. but that is just one POV>

i know ppl will bring up debt economies, but everyone is in debt and the US is owed a lot of money on the national scale, and our debt doesnt reflect that. think of the money we just threw away on africa. hint hint :it was well into the billions. jsut gone, because we were nice and opted to ignore the debt to us to help others.

Re: FAO Non-Americans

I actually consider most Bush haters to be Kool-Ade drinkers.

That's odd, because in other posts, you've suggested (correctly, I think) that the Democrats did not win, the Republicans lost -- which would imply that a majority of the population are in fact Bush haters, not Democrat-lovers. It isn't that we've started slurping up what the Democrats are serving, we are just tired of the Red Raspberry Religious Punch, Corruption Cooler, and Mid-East Meltdown flavors the Republicans have been churning out of late.

Sounds like you're one of the few that are still clinging like grim death to the abject failure that is the George W. Bush administration -- so you may want to ask for a bigger glass of the Kool-Aid, and put yourself out of your misery...

Fun, never heard of the term "forced assimilation" before
European country do not hit on each immigrant's head until they fit a particular canvas. on the opposite, europeans culture have always been very open and immigration has been a constant phenomena for centuries.
at one point, most countries decided to have a state free of all religion to make it neutral - that was in 1905 in France and first targetted Catholics.
you should not see it as a "forced action" but as a price to pay to become member of a certain country.
the US has another way to deal with this - which I find very susccessful and has its reasons too

Re: FAO Non-Americans

you want them to pay a price to become a member of your country?>

i thought taxes and obeying law would be enough.

listen its a dumb idea and an even dumber conversation. im against it in every way. we all have some biased problem with each religion/ethnicity, and the only way to stop them is not to act on them. i HATE the ghetto culture, but you dont see me petetioning to prevent blacks from wearing baggy clothes because they offend me when they look like shit.

Re: FAO Non-Americans

no it is not enough.
taxes and laws do not constitute countries by themselves
As a French person, I have a certain cultural background which I want to be respected and I hope that the French of tomorow will have a bit of the french of today in them.
From your all mighty trone, you have judged this to be dumb - it's been working very well and will continue.

price was probably not the best terms to use, maybe respect for institutions, culture and what is already in place?

Re: FAO Non-Americans

... that is a funny post Toasty. Not one thing has changed in a year, and what I mean by that is stability. Mideast has been a meltdown for decades, not just during the "Bushy" period, the economy is doing very well, black Friday sales were up 6% from last year, Corporate greed has been way around before Bush was born, Religious fanatics have been here since the dawn of day. I am sorry but I am calling bullshit on that post. That is a pretty big "lib" twist of something has been going on for some time.

I think what really happened is ... people "believe" by getting a bunch of paper-pushers, tax raising, health care for all, pot-smoking, free-love, twist talking liberals into office would stop global warming and win the war on Iraq. If you think the Bush period was bad, you got something coming. Bush is very bad, and he is the best choice we had.

conversation ended there.






move anywhere then continue. your demands for repsect have lead to the targeted minority being the most underemployed section of society in europe, mainly on their own faults, but a serious lack of help from whitey's end too. not to mention rioting based upon a few things, religious dominance and employement being the lead two reasons. and it isnt better. more and more the white bread folks are alienating the one community you need to show love to and it will only get worse.
