The American people don't send money overseas; the American government does. Big big big difference. Tell me: If the taxing system were changed so that people chose whether or not they wanted to pay extra tax to be sent to third world countries, how many people do you think would choose to send the money?

No the us citizens send money over. Why would the government pay for commercials telling us to donate our tax money? United Christian something another fund along with many other organizations. Sponsor a child for 30 bucks a month 1 dollar a day. These funds are put in with other peoples contributions and the money as a whole is used for whats needed food etc.. People do it because they want to not because they have to and not every one chooses to.

Same thing. Most humans are very stupid and have nothing approaching free will. Society says that X is popular so they like X. It says that Y is immoral so they instantly adapt their moral code to cope with the news. Humans are just sheep with less fur.

You obviously know very little about American society and are basing everything on assumptions and hear say. Not good to assume things it has a tendency to bite you in the butt.

Am I complaining? It doesn't affect my life, so why would I? I'm just observing, analysing, criticising.

Yes you are complaining. You have no facts to back up what you are saying. You are simply using hear say and assumptions then stating them as a fact when infact it's not. You're observing analysing and criticising rumours and lies.

And yet you help anyway. Nothing happens without a reason. Why haven't you ever bothered to figure out what yours is?

Why do I need a reason to help any one? That would emply I expect something in return when in fact I want nothing in return.

Depends. I didn't label everybody, I said that Americans have a tendency to act in a certain way. This is not racism, it is merely an observation. Would it be racist to say that cats don't tend to be as intelligent as apes? No. If I said that every American acted in the way I described then, yes, I'd be nothing but a deluded racist. But that's not what I said.

There is a big difference. One is an opinion the other is fact.

The continents aren't necessarily so special, but the united nature is definitely a good thing. On the other hand, it's not like all the European countries are at war with each other.

So the last time they where what would have happened if the US had minded its own business and stayed out of foreign affairs?

I think the funniest part of this whole argument is the fact that you've tried to accuse me of making unfounded assumptions but based your arguing around - yep - unfounded assumptions. smooth work there.

So just out of curiosity do you always base your entire arguments out of nothing but hear say,opions, and in some cases blatant misconceptions, or lies?

Also please show me where I am making unfounded assumptions and going on rumours and hear say not to mention my own opinions and using claiming its fact?
