A correction to the last statement...

Even if they want it or not, the U.S.A will put a puppet dictator in charge.


Much better.

[Captain Dappet]

As far as I know, Americans and Europeans are the same race...Hmmm....

[Theresa]

[Captain Dappet]

Just because one is a dictator and the other is a democrat doesnt mean they're different races. And I didnt actually say that the U.S.A are dictators.

OK, I'm going to quote myself here:

"Even though we're from different nations, seperated by artifical and natural borders, we're still brothers and sisters of this race called humanity."

There.

[Theresa]

[Seven of Nine]

I'm part of the Human Race, of a sub division called England, which (as I recall) is a part of Europe. I can't remember any hate posts against Europeans!

[Captain Dappet]

When I say the USA I refer to your government.

[Captain Dappet]

[Theresa]

Nope, The government is called the government, not the USA. The country is called the USA. And here, the country is the people, not the land.

[Theresa]

A thoughtful mind, when it sees a Nation's flag, sees not the flag only, but the Nation itself; and whatever may be its symbols, its insignia, he reads chiefly in the flag the Government, the principles, the truths, the history which belongs to the Nation that sets it forth.
~ Henry Ward Beecher

[Captain Dappet]

That may be so. But that doesnt change the fact that when I say the USA I refer to your government.

And, you're saying that, if I say "The Government" it necessarily has to be the U.S Government.



BTW, here's that link.
I think a joke includes making fun of Europeans.

"Q: What do you call an intelligent man in Europe?
A: A tourist."
Thats the joke I refer to.

[Theresa]

^EDIT You can't used a joke told at another site as your grounds for being rude to Americans here at stv. *sigh
And the US gov., see, even shortened it for you, that will tell us about whom you speak.

[Captain Dappet]

I just dont see this fun of picking on another people. I dont enjoy trashing America if you thonk so.

[Theresa]

^certainly could have fooled me. America is her government. Ya know, the, "For the people, by the people?"

[Captain Dappet]

No, never heard that before, actually.

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776.
THE UNANIMOUS
DECLARATION
OF THE
THIRTEEN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

WHEN, in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's GOD entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the Causes which impel them to the Separation.

We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security. Such has been the patient Sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the Necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The History of the present King of Great-Britain is a History of repeated Injuries and Usurpations, all having in direct Object the Establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid World.
