Ignorant and ashamed

Right now, i feel like that.
I often visit an international soccer forum site, and i usually go on there for tips. Well one day i was browsing and saw an anger forum, i went in and it was just insult after insult after insult about Americans. I had no idea how much other countries despised us.
I feel like i should say something to them to prove them we are not out to control the world,but i dont know enough about current events to keep up with them. They especially bash On Bush which makes it even worst.
First off, it makes me mad that they know more about current events than I do, i mean, these people live to make America look stupid. I keep up with current events, but they keep up with the day it happened, the time, the hour, and what part of it they can use against us.
I would try and keep up with these events if i could, but with eight hours of school and five hours of work every weekday, and weekends busy, i don't have any time to watch the news.
I have nothing against any of these countries these people are from, but it just makes me so angry. I just felt like posting this to let out some steam, thanks

Josh

That anger is directed at our foreign policies, Josh.
I say you should not be patriotic about ANY country, because they are ultimately all stupid in some way.

Josh,
Don't feel too bad. You've done something a lot of people honestly can't do, and that is admit that you're ignorant. Many people are simply too arrogant to admit it. Ignorance is widespread in this country because the U.S. public school system does a pathetic job of educating people. But admitting that you don't know as much as you thought you did is a good thing, because you realize that you need to learn. So, you can now begin that process.

Grandpa is right, the anger of the people in the forums is directed at our foreign policies. President Bush believes he is doing the right thing, but I don't agree with his actions (as you can probably tell from my other posts). I believe America should declare neutrality and not interfere in the affairs of other nations. Terrorism comes from our involvement in the Middle East, not because they blindly hate us.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I'll be glad to try and answer them. I'll give you three links--books on the internet that you can read for free--to help you understand why America is no longer truly free and why it has turned away from the principles it was founded on. I know you don't have a lot of free time, but when you can, try to spend some time reading from the following links:

All you care about are plants and animals.

And if you truly belong in the green party, you wouldn't be using your computer too much, cause that uses up precious electricity. And I'm sure being who you are, you wouldn't want us poopheaded republicans to cut down another acre or two of land on top of the huge oil reserves that we COULD be using, but can't because it's thanks to people like you that send our soldiers to Iraq and other countries for THEIR OWN oil.

Do us all a favor and go back to hugging a dying tree or something...

Not true. I care about people. However,

I don't own my own computer. I use a computer in a computer lab.
I also don't own a car.

And I'm sure being who you are, you wouldn't want*

other countries for THEIR OWN oil.

1. I am for alternative energy sources.
2. People like me don't send soldiers to places like Iraq.
That is mostly up to the Sheeple of places like the United States and the former Soviet Union.

Do us all a favor and go back to hugging*
a dying tree or something...*

Do me a favor and start thinking for yourself.

Grandpa h.
