No, some of us saw how horrible our homeland was becoming and fled.
We came to Canada in hopes of a better life. My children are first-generation Canadians. Each night, I give thanks for my parents and there courage for moving us here.

Are you sure about that? How about those Scots who had no choice but to move because they were forced off their land or were put onto ships (often by force) and sent to places like Canada?

No, america's problem is that it's culture was created by a situation where there always seemed to be another bit of empty space to expand into and mine the gold or whatever out of, where no-one lived except a few irrelevant savages, who could be defeated so easily that you could count on the army doing it whether or not they had official instructions to do so.
When they ran out of the space, they couldn't give up the habits that the situation had ingrained into their culture.

Here I assume by 'natural resources' that you may be refering to the seals which, the last time I checked are wild animals and belong to no-one. That you view them as a commodity to cater to the tastes of haute coiture or bling whilst unsuprising is still depressing.spring-peeper said:

Rather than swallow the concept of a Moynihan-esque "melting pot", its best to think of it as a stew that will require a bit more cooking and the consituent parts havent been around long enough to make a proper meal just yet.Theyre all there, but not cooked properly
a bit more time in the oven and im sure something more palatable will emerge. maybe
(Now that What I call a patronising perspective!

I think the problem is people like snorbury and fela fan failing to apply any kind of attempt to understand the complexities of both extermal and internal interactions of the US and applying their own prejudiced, narrow minded perspectives on things.
Well we cant all be the bestest people in the super best nation in the world can we. Who in the hell first thought of that and now teaches it as a benchmark in american education?
btw much of this is rewritten history, have to remember in english history anyway the british were the same as now, war like but then they viewed wales/ireland/scotland as they now see iraq. Mass invasions if you were unlucky enough to live there moving to america/canada seem idealistic. This view that people just decided to move is fantasy mostly, as at the time much of the fleet to the new world was by the british navy.
Anyway i wonder if this works for the rest of history, the british didnt join the romans no, they moved to england and thank god for it everyday.

Gullibility, hubris and fear of the unknown seem to be major problems. People in the US just seem to accept anything that their govt says is necessary for their 'security' and don't ask questions until it's too late and too many people are dead. For a so-called nation of immigrants they don't seem to give a damn about what their country does world-wide, as long as no-one they know gets hurt and their businessmen keep coining it at the expense of other countries.

PROPER leftwing socialist
The USA, imo, is entering a similar phase as the old Soviet Union under Brezhnev: a period of thrashing around on the international scene, throwing it's military weight around (remember the Brezhnev Doctrine - in which the USSR insisted it had a "right" to wade into other people's countries if it's interests were at stake?) while it's economy gets more and more messed up and the general population suffers economically as a result. It is also ruled by a leader who doesn't seem to have a clue and is a useful tool for hawkish elements in the upper echelons of the political establishment.
Going at this rate, the USA politcal scene will produce an American Gorbachev who''ll try reform things a bit in order to prevent it falling apart. They've already had their equivalent of Chernobyl, imo, in the form of the New Orleans hurricane disaster - in which the US politcal establishment proved itself incapable of looking after it's own people and also delayed foreign assistance initially.

I have a theory about this,
Fine.
the americans with their ancestory
I imagine you mean Americans, but what a conservative who has sex with a member of their family has to do with it is open to question.
based in
surely "based on"?
their people being thrown out
Well if someone is an American citizen who is resident in the USA they haven't been thrown out of anywhere.
of any civilised county
I imagine you're referring to Kent, the most civilised county in the world.
they been in,
Is this has been, human been or baked been?
over the years they grown resentment and bitterness.
They grown? Cash crops rivalling wheat and soya perhaps? Or they groan?
Now the current generation still have this taught thru their school system
Well the current generation are likely to be of an average age beyond the educational system. Those within are unlikely to use "thru" though are they?
to dispise and dislike the world.
That's depise.
Or they are a bunch of morons i am not sure.
That should be I.
Let's not forget;
Waits for Dhimmi next typo then i will strike back!
Surely Dhimmi's, when, capital I and very likely shall. This defeating the Western pig dogs is hard work, eh?
I've have asked you to repeat that but I feared you'd say it exactly the same as you did the first time.

. perfection is a flawed concept it cannot be achieved
. the only purpose of language is to communicate
. very few first language english speakers speak good english
. we think in language my thoughts are not grammatical
. why am I starting sentences with a full stop? why not? I like it
