10 things to celebrate
Why I'm an anti-anti-American
Dinesh D'Souza
Sunday, June 29, 2003
America is under attack as never before -- not only from terrorists but also from people who provide a justification for terrorism. Islamic fundamentalists declare America the Great Satan. Europeans rail against American capitalism and American culture. South American activists denounce the United States for "neocolonialism" and oppression.

I dont think anyone would dispute its far better to live in America than in most countries in the world.
as for social mobility hasnt it been dropping constantly over the last few decades.In any country there is examples of people who go from nothing to rich.
America because of it military and economic advantage over the rest of the world will always attract critcism because its foriegn policy is highly important.Alot of people in the middle east do hate America and there is reasons behind this that nobody can dismiss.
America is also alot less liberal than many countries in europe but this is more like a difference in opinions than pure hate.But there is criticisms to be made of any of the empires that have been the dominant force in the world and i should think there always will be.

IceteaGreen said:I would also love to hear what does it means too, as we have full property here in Belgium, and Europe (just bought a nice li'll house atm btw...yay :2razz: )
Trajan Octavian Titus said:What's your taxation rate? Appx 37.5%? How can that be considered freedom of property?
Inuyasha said:What the hell does that mean with regard to Europe TOT?
Inuyasha said:Where in the world did you get that figure. You better go to Europe and buy some property. My property taxes in Chicago are much higher than the eax I oay on my Spanish property which I have owned since 1976 and I am nit even a citizen of that country. You have a very vivid imagunation. Check these things out before you make such foolish and silly statements You have NFI what is going on.
Trajan Octavian Titus said:Well Chicago isn't much better than Europe, if you owned your Spanish property since 1976 I can guarantee that it will not be passed down to your son. Your property will be taken and made to serve the public good.
Urethra Franklin said:Time to wake up trajan. Your dream's gone on a bit too long.
Trajan Octavian Titus said:A dream? Excuse me sir or ms. why is it that you people try to come here so frequently to get out of the sh!t hole that you call Europe?
I mean I know I'm not trying to move to Europe but it seems like so many Europeans want to move here, that's a bit off from the speech which we so often hear from your countrymen wouldn't you agree? Oh that's right you don't have countrymen do you?
What is Europes population growth rate again? I believe you have more people leaving your decaying states than you do have people being born, your's is a dying civilization, good riddance to bad rubbish I say.
