OK
First off, I don't know who said 'College,' but it was pretty much the most relevant post on this board.
I don't care if you are arguing for or against the United States in this matter, you should at least have a college education, without it, you look like an idiot.
Anyway...
1. The US didn't sign the Kyoto Treaty because the government knew that all the developing world, primarily China, is so poorly regulated that it wouldn't keep accurate pollution statistics. In order to avoid the high cost of making our factories meet the Kyoto Protocol and then have the Chinese undercut our prices, we just opted out of the treaty. That is our right as a sovereign nation.
2. Aussie has a Napoleonic Complex and clearly has a poor grasp of the English language. Try forming a cogent sentance then get back to us about our poor educational system. Also, what's with the Mormon bashing?
3. ElGato already clearly answered the physical fitness issue, though aussiepimp seems to be ignoring the facts. That's fine, we're all prone to denial at some point.
4. Corporatisation is not a word, Corporatization is.
5. Over the years the US has spent trillions of dollars protecting the world. WWI, WWII, the Balkans, the first Gulf War. Why is everyone beating up on us, when the French were fighting for colonies in Southeast Asia for years, clearly for their own gain?
6. What's the point of freedom without security? Basic international political theory contends that the first duty of a state-and the primary reason for their inception-is to ensure the security of its citizens from violence.
7. Yes, Abe Lincoln was an excellent president. People forget that he stretched the Constitution at least as much as Bush is doing now. Don't believe me, check your history books...and I don't mean the ones you had in 8th grade.
8. The idea that a president cannot effectively manage the country from Crawford, TX is absolutely rediculous. Sure it's not great for PR, but Harry Truman spent about as much time in Key West during his presidency and no one seemed to mind. Quit focusing on trite shit like this.
ok...that's it for now
