DS Selling Strongly In Japan

America isn't going anywhere, if we go the whole world goes with us and if you disagree your full of it. USA is where all the money in the world circulates. The only why we are going is if bin laden or some stupid taliban bombs use with a nuke, which is a long shot being as how they use our money.
I don't hate europeans or any country for that matter, I started this whole history lesson because of some prick talking s**t about my country and I fired back. So if we are all done lets post about video games not world history.

If America went down, the world would continue. Considering the American economy, you would be a retard to circulate any money in the American currency. That's just bad finance. I agree, somewhat relucatantly perhaps, that a lot of countries rely on America, hence the very large Coalition force in Iraq during the war. Most countries were pressured into it though I feel because America has a powerful army.

And America isn't about freedom. If it was the Democrats would be in office.

Oh and dont tell me, you believe in a god as well.

Really and europe is freedom? It's funny you know more about our country than your own, I wonder why? I rest my case, I don't need to clarify anymore.

What the hell is your case? That America is the place of liberty? Where the vast majority is actually conservative and not very considerate of other people's freedoms at all? With your reasoned line of arguing I'm beaten for sure.

What is this crap about conservatives from. You europeans pretend to be conservitive but are envious of the usa and our accomlishments. Why else are you bashing what I said in the previous posts.
You know the usa helped you and other countries alot, yet we get s**t from pricks like you who didn't deserve help, crap like, america is not about freedom and americans are stupid and the list goes on. You fail to mention you owe us more gratitude.

the day i'm envious of the united states is the day hell freezes over. actually i think you'l find you started this rather skewed "history lesson" is because you couldn't cope with someone expressing their so called freedom of speach. You're so f**king typically republican american it makes me sick.

Im a democrat, I voted for kerry, so shove your bullshit up your ass. The fact americans make you sick shows your envy. Mind you freedom of speech came from america, the first amendment anyone? Histories a bitch isn't it.

Comments like this just call your entire credibility into question. OK, so does everything else you say, but this just proves you either have no clue, or are in such a state of denial that nothing you say it true.

You make me ashamed to be your compatriate.

Someone said that the only reason the English don't speak German today was because of us... but the only reason we DO speak English is because of them.

im not very good at history, and i dont know that much about ww2 (i hate history, its boring), but i do know that alot of swedes (im a swede) emigrated from here when it was bad times, and went to america. and what did they do? they built it!

if you were an american, you would probarbly be a native america. right now, you are probarbly part european, or african if you are a black man. so why bash us?

and the freedom you speak so greatly of, where is it? ive heard stories about ppl that write something about america on their blogs, the next day the feds bust them. why? because they are "a threat to the nation", which is great pile of bullshit. bush doesnt like ppl takling bad about him, and therfor he sends them away. america is one of the greatest nations that still wants to torture ppl (some years ago there was a vote about this in un or something) and the only country that voted that torture should still be allowed was usa. the only country that has ever disobeyed the international court (dont know the name) is america. they dont give a crap about the rest of the world. they say that they are going to liberate iraq and s**t. what they really mean is that they dont have control of it anylonger, so they need to put a new puppet there. i dont understand why usa has to be the worldcop all the time, and i surely dont understand why european countries follow them. i wish the world would have voted for what president should be in the white house. then bush would loose biiiig time with only facist bastards israel voting for them.

oh and btw, i saw a movie some days ago which shows 14 things you do when you are a fascist country, and usa had them all. great country right?

you can just ignore my last post. i just write crap anyway -_-. its morning and im tired!

Well, it's a pity I missed the debate last night.

I agree with Kid and others that eventually America will fall and another country will rise in it's place. That's the way the world works.

The problem with the US is that the government seems to think it has a divine right to own and control the world. At least, that's what it seems to me. America bomb countries that have resources they want (Iraq, probably Iran), and in true hypercritical fashion then declare to North Korea that they should not create nuclear weapons or the US will basically take action against them.

The US has tonnes of nuclear weapons! As soon as they get rid of theirs they can tell everyone else to do the same... like that's going to happen. In terms of WWII I cannot forgive the US for dropping two bombs on the Japanese. I know that a lot of innocent people died in Pearl Harbour, but sending two bombs was extreme.

I would like to emphasise that I think that most American people are great, however some parts of the American culture and legacy leave a lot to be desired.

With regards to history teaching, as this seems to be a slight issue and I went through this section of school five years back, kids at English schools have to study World War II and the role of various countries. The countries are considered in a non-bias way: we know that the US came and basically rescued us at the end of the war, however also that there was some ill-feeling that they didn't come and help before hand and ease the bloodshed. We are taught that Hitlter has a particularly morbid vision for the world which lead to him the holocaust. We have to watch videos of it to reinforce that this is humans at their worst.

However, we don't have to raise the English flag every morning ;) (ok cheap pop, don't take it too seriously).

the funny thing about pearl harbour is that alot was out on some training or what it now was, and not that many was killed. usa responded to the japanese attack by KILLING thousands of civilians in japan, which i think is one of the greatest crimes in history.

and yes, usa is hypocrits. they tell everybody else not to have nuclear weapons while they still build i dont know how many theirself. why? get rid of your own first, and THEN demand the other countries to do the same. moron bush!

It must suck for you to live in the most right wing religious fundamentalist country in the world then.

absolutely. the US were trying to provoke japan for ages, they needed a big attack to justify joining ww2 to the US public. actually it was well know to the Japanese that the US publicly claimed that it could launch an attack on Japan from it's Hawaiian and Phillipine bases to wipe out thousands of Japanaese "with firebombing attacks on the teeming bamboo antheaps" (-US Airforce General Shinow [that's probably spelt wrong])

that's more of a justification for a pre-emptive strike then fake wmds were.

Well, being, militarily, the most powerful nation on Earth, they can pretty much do what they want. But attacking N Korea I dont think they will do, as N Korea have nukes, and they will defend themselves. Iraq on the otherhand, was defenceless, after the 1st gulf war and 10 years of the most barbaric sanctions, which had no effect on Saddam, only on his people.
Half a million children dead, god bless America!!

Did someone mention that the DS is selling well in Japan? Nice one Nintendo!!!!

Thank you SilverDogg. That's all I was trying to say to the guy and he comes up with this crap about defending his country whenit was he who first mentioned it with a "so sue me" rant. Neo you are contradicting yourself man.

i dont really know everything you have been discussing here but yea, sure.. or something ;P.

just for the record, i dont have anything against patriotic people, as long as they dont go to the extreme. i myself dont really like sweden because everybody is to much of an ego. and i really really HATE when ppl say "so why arent you moving out?". its the most f**king stupid question those morons can ask.

Indeed quite off-topic all this ranting but it's fun (for a historian like me).
About Pearl Harbour, the reason why the Japanese attacked was to negotiate a treaty (don't know what kind) so that the US would recognize japanese presence in Asia. But the americans just took a very stubborn pose and never wanted to talk (because congress needed a reason to get in the war).

And the more historians research the 2 nukes on Japan ,the more the conclusion pops up that it was completly useless. According to some records weeks before the nukes were dropped Japan contacted Russia about a possible surrender to the Aliies. The Japanese war economy was completly crippled and a sea-to-land invasion wouldn't have caused many casualties on both sides.

Now if you look at the international economy you notice 3 large powers: USA, European Union and China. now the problem with USA is that it is a importbased economy which means outside countries are artifically keeping the american economy running. If one country starts demanding their loaned money back from the americans the whole american economy is going to implode like crazy. It's ticking time-bomb.

Cina has the problem of being a export-based economy which means it could get in the same scenario as Japan is now. once the export starts to tumble so does the whole economy.

Europe has a very dynamic economy, its import is always just lower then it's export which means the European internal market is is very healthy, heck, if you put all the money on al the saving accounts of all the families togheter you got figures that are 3-4 times higher then National product of the Union. So if the European export tumbles it still has a strong internal market to fall back on, if it's import it has semi self-sufficient internal economy to fall back on (plus the financial basis to come up with some inventive alternatives).

Economical speaking Europe is the biggest of the 3 powers (the US lost almost every trade-war with the European Union) and with the upcoming European constitution (unheard of in world history) that power will slowly translate in a stronger political voice.

And why should Europeans envy American freedom? I don't know we're probably the only continent that stil has complete freedom of press and speech and we don't possess lists with names on them who are potential troublemakers (these lists do exist and most of the time based on small one-time incidents, you should know how many European jounalists are on these lists, it's mind troubling).

Again if George Bush was president of France and he screwed up like he did in the US he wouldn't have a head for about 2-3 years i geuss.

this is why i love spong... there are actually peopel worth talkign to! you wont find this kinds of convo on ign :)

i think patriotism is terrible... people are people... the geographical location i was born in does not make this particular country any better than any other.

it also saddens me to think that neo was actually voting on my side last time... how lost must the republicans be... my brother is actually supposedly a libertarian but voted for GW over kerry... cause the republicans are for smaller government... like the department of faith bassed initiatives *Shudder* makes me sick.

... i dont understand how peopel grow up to be such thoughtless ass holes... didnt they grow up watchign the same moraly charged tv shows that i did? sesame street... mr rogers.... every disney movie... hell even transformers... optimus prime... "till all are one"... and still we churn out assholes... now kids are goign straight from pokemon to GTA, the next generation is really going to be a mess...we shoudl all listen to what rod todd says... "be excellent to each other"
