ok politics it is then.

America's foreign policy is as bad as Britains, but without it we'd all have been speaking Russian by 1950.

Given the choice of being the invader it is always better than being the invaded. I can understand how the countries we tred on feal, but hey ... I got a decent PC and lots of nice consumer goods so ... screw 'em, frankly.

As long as I keep my head in the clouds and refuse to believe that my country could possibly be guilty of excercising totallitarian authority with 7.62mm's of force then how could I possibly feel strongly enough to change anything?

The days of imperialism have passed, we're more educated now, if we where really causing harm abroad then surely somebody would have done something. We have safeguards against that type of thing because we are a moderate and free society.

This forum post is a reflection of the postee's opinion about Western national sentiments, and not actually an opinion in itself. It may require a level thought to understand that is beyond the people it is referencing, in which case, have a plate of national pride with a side order of patriotism.

Its the human condition ,wish we could evolve a bit quicker
Now back to our regular program.

Hey Roadrunner.... Y"all Germans still get nonsense about Hitler?
Geesh. My father-in-law fought in WW II. He fought alongside Aussies in New Guinea before getting wounded. Then they sent him back to the States to
guard German POWs. He told me that they had to separate the SS troops
and officers from the rest of the prisoners. The SS would have gotten killed
if put in General Population. But as a combatant, he knew that the magority of the German People wasn't like the Nazi stereotype you've had to deal with.

I know Politics discussions aren't really allowed here on these forums (am glad this one is though ) This one really seems to have some sort a intelligent posts
that are a good read.

Oh yeah another thing RoadRunner...If you don't want Cheney as our V.P.,
then YOU tell him... We seen what happened to the last guy that tried...

One thing thats going on here right now in the US is the illegal immigration issue. I know it's a problem with most of the industrial nations, but not like here.
The big problem with this Bill, is that it's stupid. and that's whether you want tighter border controls or not. Most people, including the polititians that are to vote on it, don't fully understand it.

As for all these youths protesting the bill, Have you heard any of their comments on it? What they seem to be protesting? They really don't understand it & I think most were just using it as an excuse to cut class.

I dunno, something really needs to be done about illegal immigration, but not with that Bill.
I think if leftward thinking minds didn't make it stumble or short-sided
capitalist that couldn't see past their bank accounts didn't mis-manage it,
NAFTA would have gone a long way to alleviate this problem we got now.

Dear Weiss,

The replay you send me was evaluated and surely there are no excuses to the terrible behavior from those guys.

The replay has been posted in our forum and the reaction has been variable in accordance with the relationship with the subjects and their ages.

Some people here are kids yet, not the case of this guy that are around 18+, but this kind of behavior does not reflect the general behavior of the brazilian community, be sure. We have greats names here, whith great respect from the LFS international community, such as Mogar, JS, Luiggi, and many others.

I have no power to punish them, but the large exposition in our forum caused a big effect in our community, so we hope facts like won't occur anymore. Of course we have no way to avoid this, and we have no conditions to supervise the kids out there.

When you see a server called Brazil, BR or something like that, be comfortable to come in and play with us. Just ignore that stupid happening, cause that was an isolated case.

Best regards,
