    The U.S. projects conservativism all over Earth. They hate us for the massive unnecessary killing.

    Nope. You're a gimmick account, though, so whatever.

    Well hell... Greece, Spain, etc... MUST be right. They certainly have their issues figured out. If they like Obama, maybe I should too.

    Well, this is understandable.

    It's understandable in the sense that the world views President Obama the same way the average college students does. Specifically, I mean the college students who wanted to rebel against their upper-class, suburban upbringing by showing up in record numbers to vote for "Change," whilst taping "HOPE" posters in their dorm room windows as if the presidential election had supplanted TRL.

    They weren't quite sure what he stood for, nor the long term effects of his proposals, but they knew one thing - they wanted activism for the sake of activism, because that's what their parents did in the baby-boom generation.

    Image will go a long way. It will help no-talent musicians achieve perennial top-40 success, just as it will keep a president like President Obama in the White House for consecutive terms.

    No, of course not. It was well within the acceptable amount of unnecessary killings.

    Everyone wants to see #1 knocked off. Of course the lesser countries want to see us cut down to size. They have their wish.

    wait, so that makes it the right decision?

    That would be like saying the Miami Heat decided to bench LeBron and give Mike Miller all his minutes, and the rest of the NBA is "relieved" about it so that makes it right.

    Right, it's us against the world. Every other country is our enemy, and what's good for them must therefore be bad for us.

    Hey everybody, let's hold hands and sing "It's a Big, Blue Marble"! :biglaugh:

    I used to think the Left was just misguided. Now I think they're delusional.

    Think about it again in terms of 44Thrilla's post comparing the US to the Miami Heat.

    Teams in the NBA compete against one another, as well as with one another. They are not necessarily enemies (though some teams have some seriously bad blood and seem to have more intense battles). For the most part, NBA teams all know they're in it together, and each team has a role. Someone has to play the winner, someone plays the loser (this is where I'd like to say that the comparison ends, as in life, and a world, why can't we all win? But I've yet to see this possibility in our world).

    The Right just demonstrated conclusively in the run-up to the election that they are delusional. So maybe everyone is delusional.

    I think the analogy is seriously flawed. One country is not crowned as champion each year. There is not a requirement that there be one and only one winner. There can be multiple winners. There can be no winners.

    If our economy crashes, that doesn't help the rest of the world win. If China crashes and burns, that doesn't make us the winner.
