  5. Your thoughts on N-Korea (and Iran, possibly Syria, ....) vs USA

    in Off Topic

    I guess I'm in the minority here, but I have no problem with other countries building nuclear bombs. In my opinion, either every country is allowed make them, or no country is allowed to make them. The UN is being a bunch of hypocrites. Even if they did create nuclear weaponry, very few countries would be stupid enough to attack the USA. We would wipe them out in weeks, just like we did in Iraq.

     

    Speaking of Iraq, why the heck are we still there? We captured Sadam Hussein after two weeks, and since then we have just sat there for TEN YEARS.

     

    Yes you COULD wipe them out, but only after they attack first, I guess, which may well cost a few million lives.

  6. Your Unpopular Opinions

    I actually think the Dutch political system is quite good; anyone can form his/her own party, and actually get votes.

     

    There are 150 'seats' to be divided in the 'Tweede Kamer' (''2nd chamber''). Every so many votes represents a seat in the chamber.

     

    We actually have a party in the Tweede Kamer that's called Partij voor de Dieren, which means Party for the Animals, which obviously fights for animal rights. They have 2 of the 150 seats.

     

    The biggest party at the moment is the VVD, which stands for Party of Freedom and Democracy (Liberals), which are in my oppinion, chosen by the upperclas mainly.

    Wait, what?

     

    All kidding aside, that video perfectly encapsulates North Korea - crazy as fuck. It's not even a Hitler / Saddam / USSR "we disagree with you so war!1" thing... I don't even have a word for it. It's like the country is literally run by mildly retarded psychopaths.

     

    As far as the video, I know 4th graders that can put put together better and more coherent animation. If that's the best their highest level of government can do, well, there you go. They can't even feed 90% of their own people yet here we are discussing how they're going to destroy the world's greatest military power.

     

    As an American it does sort of annoy me that we interfere in everything, mainly because I don't think hardly any of the endeavors are worth having soldiers die over. What annoys me more, though, is idiots from 3rd world countries that do nothing but bitch about how awful the USA is for "ruining everything" yet are the first ones to cry/whine/beg when some warlord slaughters a bunch of kids in their country, or when they want their own asses saved. They're hypocrites; it isn't enough to bother me unless they're not even smart enough to realize it.

     

     

    I think all civilized nations do. Nuclear missiles are terrible in the hands of anyone, much less the North Koreans and like who place absolutely no value on life.

     

    As far as the video being offensive, well, yeah, it's obviously a terrible thing to do. With that said, my reaction was kind of just "meh" because it's North Korea. It's expected. Some day they'll do something that pisses everyone off and be overrun in a matter of weeks.

     

    Thanks. Your post was funny and makes sense at the same time :)

    So, as we all know, the United States of America aren't loved by all. They are loved mainly by themselves and I think us Europeans also have some sympathy for the USA; (without them German would be my native language, if you know what I mean, and for that we thank you).

     

    Also, some of the countries where the USA have fought over the last years, should be grateful to the USA (Afghanistan, Iraq, etc.?) as well. I don't know the current situation there, but I guess it's better than it used to be; Taliban and shit.

     

    However, some countries seem to really (I mean really) dislike the USA. I wonder why... Yes, their pattriotism can seem a bit arrogant (''america is the fucking greatest country in the world, fuck yeahhhhhhhhhhh, 'merica fuck yeahh'' - not an actual quote, February 6th, 2013). However they have been the greatest military power in the last....110 years? Sometimes I do look at the USA as some kind of superhero that helps countries in need.

     

    And maybe that's the reason that countries like N-Korea seem to hate the living shit out of the USA. I woke up this morning and saw this on the news: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=N7fjnvnQvLY#! . It's a propaganda video from N-Korea where a really happy (and American) song (we are the world) plays on the background and they seem to have changed the lyrics, although my N-Korean isn't what it used to be. It shows how N-Korea attacks American cities. It's repulsive, I don't even understand why the fuck it's still on youtube, it's quite offensive isn't it? 

     

    What are your thoughts on the hostilities against the USA? Do you think the USA tends to interfere in stuff that's nowhere near their busines? Or do you think USA has the right and the power (and the duty?) to command other countries that they can't build nuclear missiles, as they please?

     

     

    *No hate was intended here, I do not hate the USA, I actually like the country :), but I used some sarcasm to explain why other countries might seem to think differently.

    As I said, my least favorite meme is Overly Attached Girlfriend.

     

     

     

    My favorite meme, on the other hand, is Joseph Ducreaux.

  17. Let's Discuss Gun Rights (and my homework)!

    Not that it matters if you read the article or not, but it's seriously only like 3-4 full paragraphs. Lol.

     

    I don't disagree with your opinion in regards to the army/police, but I also don't see how simply owning a gun is "wrong".

     

    What's the use of owning a gun if every use of it would end in death or injury of others/animals? That's why I think owning a gun is wrong. And shooting non-moving targets is just lame...

     

    As far as my knoweledge of USA law goes; you have the right to defend your property and yourself, hence the right to own a gun; which also allows the bad guys to own guns. I think because in the past (and thus present) guns were allowed, they can no longer forbid it. Guns are there, people HAVE to defend themselves in a country where guns so commonly present and accepted. It's a part of the American culture, I guess.

     

    I'm just glad guns are still 'forbidden' here and in most European countries.
