Are you like 12 or something?

NK are dangerous in themselves with having nukes but the real danger comes when they start sharing (aka as selling) with terroristorganisations.

I don't care what country's the target of that, it's not good either way.

My question is how can something so chubby be so hated throughout the world. And if he does provide to terrorists, which he probably won't, then that gives us a reason to invade NK. Besides the whole terrorist crap is overhyped because of 9/11.

No, it's not. Terrorists gaining nuclear weapons is like happy birthday annihilation.

The response from whoever is targeted (and it's allies) would be either to, in a sigh of "wtf", not be able to do anything, or nuke the country where it came from, keeping in mind that the country itself might not have been responsible at all, thus killing millions of innocent people in retribution for your own, creating a war that didn't need to be.

Anywho, I'm not going to post here to try to prove to anyone that there's a problem.

I'm not American, I hate them, and practically everything they stand for but that has little to do with the NK issue, apart from them playing police (GJ on that btw, feel free to kill yourselves)

I think you're generalizing too much there. The US government is to blame for their actions, not the people (even though 1/4 of the US of A is retarded, as proven by South Park).

It's a more serious problem than you guys make it out to be, it's about to mentality.

A brilliant example is "the right to bear arms" and the bullshit argument that "When we lose the right to have guns in our houses only the bad guys will have them!". I mean, sure, only bad guys have them, but the bad guys don't shoot you up, they threaten you, unless you're deliberately involved in criminal activities and become a victim of a war, which does happen from time to time. Now I'm not going to delve deeper into this because it's only one of many examples.

Another is the extreme patriotism, failure to look outside their own country. They can't even orientate the world. I mean what the fuck, common people can at least place Germany, France and England on the map, besides their own country and the US. Possibly Russia, Japan and China too. You're also not the makers of the best products in the world at all times anywhere. Of course you're the best at some things while you're not at others, but don't make it seem like "You know how to do it! Everyone else is just copying you!". A good example of this is steel. American steel is in general shit compared to most european steel in quality. But nooo, AMERICAN STEEL INDUSTRY IS THE BEST. I mean come on, it's not true, why bullshit yourselves.

There's a shitload of other problems built into this, but unless someone's interested, let's get back on the NK issue.

Edit: Extremist faith is another huge issue, that is big enough to be mentioned with the above two.

I generally agree with Dead-Inside, and thats most certainly the picture I get of the USA. But Im always a little hesitant to say it like that because not *everybody* over there can be like that. Then again, if I were living there (and thats not just because I live in the "anti-americanistic europe") I would move to another country. Sure, it prolly not all bad and certain things are prolly pretty cool there, but when a government starts acting the way theirs does I would draw the line. But hey, thats just what we get to hear here in Europe :roll:

PS: I cant help it to think of the church part in Borat when thinking of America lately :lol:

About US patrionism:
In an interview with Paul Verhoeven (director) in a Dutch newspaper about his latest work (Zwartboek wwII movie) he mentioned that he wanted to shoot the movie in hollywood but wasnt allowed because the US wanted more American involvement in the movie, as in more bannerwaving and heroism. So far for the freedom of american media. Ah well, we can see the same in the usa cnn, the brittish version is much more objective
When you are up to your neck in shit, keep your head up high
