<description>&quot;I&#039;ve seen the USA, it looks just like downtown Detroit.&quot;

Why...that&#039;s almost a racist statement!   ;-D</description>

<description>&quot;your pathetic goading is about as mature as taunting a mentally handicapped person.&quot;

I agree that many Democrats are mentally-disabled.

Good analogy!   :-D</description>

<description>Olay, they&#039;ve got lots of oil. And they&#039;re getting more than market price for it. So, Shrub, you need to invade Olay, and their neighbour, Olive. It&#039;s all over there in Whateverstan, that part of the map which is, well, whatever. It&#039;s not far from Iraq, just take a left at Alberque.

<description>Wow. 

All of those &#039;kind words&#039; from world leaders...

Not surprising, since they fear the Crazed Cowboy might invade them next.

Wait... do any of those countries have oil?

<description>I am handicapped dawn...I&#039;m one of those ugly &#039;murricans that Jim likes to talk about so much...and your pathetic whining isn&#039;t much more mature.

It is a shame that all anyone remembers about Nixon is watergate...I mean, he did get this country out of vietnam...but hey...that was nothing.</description>

<description>Since the US dollar is sinking, since the US administration endorses torture and does not recognize the rule of law, due process or international agreements, since most of your boroughs, counties and other municipalities are ridden with violence, overseen by corrupt and incompetent administration, since most of your populace are mere rude mobbs with no culture or attraction. since your populace is poor, ignorant, violent and disease ridden. Therefore, I choose to go to more attractive places.
 
 I&#039;d be better off traveling to some place which has at least a record of improving instead of corruption, destruction and decline.
 
 I&#039;ve seen the USA, it looks just like downtown Detroit.

<description>I don&#039;t think individuals given the right to vote under our constitution &quot;stole&quot; anything - they were just misinformed.  It happens, I mean hell Nixon won - twice - so there you go.

We&#039;ll live - and further more, your pathetic goading is about as mature as taunting a mentally handicapped person.

Unless of course, you are handicapped?  Are you handicapped?  My apologies andy.</description>

Where&#039;s all that non-partisan healing huh?

Jim, you are indeed welcome to come and visit, just ignore the drooling hillbilly fundamentalists - like the rest of us do.</description>

<description>Jc &amp; Nat,


Feel free to act on your desires.  If you do not want to visit this country or if you harbor a wish to leave, then act upon that wish.  I know this may come as a shock to you both but noone else gives a rusty fuck what you choose to do.  I have a feeling that you both would rather whine or play the part of a malcontent rather than do something that positive.  

If it weren&#039;t for the pot, I doubt anyone would travel to Canada.

GW

<description>The point I was trying to make was the USA has become a less attractive place to plan to travel to, ie, I don&#039;t want to go there, don&#039;t need to go there, and will probably have no reason to do business in the States anymore than I would in Argentina or Russia.

The USA has become a more risky place which doesn&#039;t respect or uphold the rights of citizens from other places.</description>

<description>::Which of course, proves my point the USA has become a hostile, ugly neighborhood in decline without much to offer the rest of the world.::


Whoo boy, and ppl say we&#039;re the rude &amp; ugly ones.
I&#039;d actually prefer he didn&#039;t come visit. We have enough ppl leeching off our government, when americans need help, as it is.</description>

<description>From my perspective outside the USA, I don&#039;t feel comfortable crossing border because your government doesn&#039;t recognize my rights and international rule of law, and that erosion of rights and liberties is only going to increase.

At least I&#039;m thankful I have a choice not to go there, but have the rest of the world.</description>

<description>None of these articles could be true, Eric, because it is well known that Americans don&#039;t know about countries outside their own borders, and only read in English. [/sarcasm]</description>
