Botellines 0 #79 May 21, 2004 QuoteQuote>don't let the door hit you in the ass. Quote It's fortunate more do not share that view. Some of the greatest americans in history thought the US had problems, and worked to fix them. Martin Luther King comes to mind. Thank god (for us) he didn't "just leave" when he saw racial injustice. The problem is, he is not american, lives and works in the US and has a profound interest in diminishing as well as insulting anything that has to do with the US. I consider that either lack of character, or just sucking up on a system to make his life better. MLK was an American, who cared for his country. Hardly his case I think the door hitting on his ass should apply. Dude, thank you for your psicology lesson, now, do yourself a favor and stop playing Freud. As a psicology college student i have been told that a lack of character is usually shown by the need to belong to a large group where your actions will be backed up (sounds familiar?). My opinions more often than not are supported for just a handful of other poster. Regarding that of sucking up on a system to make my life better... well, lets say that i am not one of those "charismatic" guys who get a hard on saying what a hot shit they are for being from such country. I don´t live in the US at the moment, but i have lived for a whole year and on and off the next five years after. I do know what to live like in the US is like. However i encourage you to find a post where i put down the US as a country or americans as a whole. In the other hand, you DO put down other countries (like South Africa) without probably spending much time there. That is not very smart. As a matter of fact, you can find posts where i disagree with spain´s position about a subject. I guess that i should leave Spain ASAP. I do have my biased believes about controversial subjects, but i only post what i can backup with facts (preferible) or common sense. However Internet is a free country and you can post what you want. so go back to informed and factual statements like: America is the greatest country in the world South Africa is a bad country. Santa Klaus exists and GWB is a very cultural and honest guy.
