The US saved your collective asses a few year back and many of us find

When America finally decided to enter the war it wasn't to save my
ass, or my parents' asses. America was even a bit slow to realize it
would be confronted with what I would call an evil empire....
So don't blah blah me with "I saved your ass". Did you even
participate? As what?

Skipper, don't you see how ridiculous you sound when you say america
"owns" europe cause of ww2?
But let's talk "Skipperian": You are being repaid by the present
dollar/euro ratio.

Further, your governments are engaging in socialist madness,
a concept freedom loving Americans find
an abomination.
Gimme facts... this is just an opinion, imo based on ignorance. There
are very few socialists left since eastern europe was liberated, and I
do applaud to that. The discussion has changed, dear skipper, and is
about what are governemnt tasks, how to organize them and what are
not. But that is a discussion filled with nuances and the need to
really think and give real arguments. I get the impression you aren't
equipped for that kind of discussion. I am still in doubt if you could
but just wouldn't participate or if you lack the ability alltogether.

Capitalism works best with controlled responsible
government.
Agreed, but it's all about the measure of control the government
maintains. I for one see things you can't leave to the market cause
they have too much connection with bare sustenance. Energy,
Environment, Peacekeeping (are you by any chance an NRA-adept too?)

But you asked what was wrong with America. Well, we currently have open
borders. Too many illegal aliens are pouring into the US because it
offers the best economic opportunity in the world and free medical care
for illegals.
A sound policy in helping these countries to develop is what I call
"the rich worlds burdon". But the us sticks to tariffs, aiding
criminal dictators to keep stability and so on.

We also have too many Looney Lefters, but they are held in
check and given no real say in things (however, they do bitch a lot). We
do have a great many more freedoms than you enjoy.
Oh I know about your "freedom" to buy arms, to pollute, to ignore
suffering in cities, to ignore people dieing in the street cause they
can't afford medical care, and all the time you're free to say anyone
can become a Bill Gates.
Your freedom to start wars unilaterally, to get a grip on oil, to lock
people up without trial, to tell other parts of the world what to do.
And when people don't THANK you for it and take over your "philosophy"
you're offended..... Man, how dumb can you get...

History will record Reagan as the greatest leader in his time. We ALL
respect Gorby, but unfortunately, history will record his administration
form of communism as failures.
Dream on...
