A Powerful Movie

[AUTaxMan]

It's everywhere man. Our policies, our arrogance towards other countries and governments, our unwillingness to bend or compromise, or the cheers when just about every politician gloats about this being the best country in the world. USA USA USA USA USA.

Which policies?

[AUTaxMan]

You can't seriously be asking this. Are you contending that America doesn't have that attitude, or are you just being difficult?

I'm asking that someone provide concrete examples.

I'm asking that someone provide concrete examples.

If you need examples, concrete or not, you'll never see it because you're blinded by pride.
It would be really refreshing if, just once, you entered a conversation on the basis that what you already know has been established as fact instead of looking for proof of what you already know.

Unless you truly don't know it, in which case no one is ever going to be able to show you, but I am convinced that if someone posted "what goes up must come down" you'd be asking for examples and studies to prove the claim.

You can't even demonstrate a single real example of what you allege. All you do here is blow hot air and make assumptions without supporting your allegations. You want to conveniently skip over the part of a discussion where the facts and assumptions are established. Once we get to the point of establishing the facts and assumptions, we can then have an adult conversation.

For example, in this discussion, you want me to merely assume as an established fact that America is arrogant. That is not a fact. It is your opinion. I am not going to assume your opinion to be true. You need to substantiate it.

Fine. How about the fact the US sees it necessary to impose itself on the people of other countries in the form of a war machine.

Is that all I do? Hmm, no insult there.
Not to mention, at least I do something other than ask stupid questions I already know the answer to.

I want to skip over the part EVERYONE including you already knows. You know this stuff, yet you continue to mindlessly ask questions hoping others will eventually get sick of it and leave, meaning you "won" I guess.

Once we get to the point of establishing the facts and assumptions, we can then have an adult conversation.

My point is, these things are already established a thousand times over. Just because it hasn't been repeated in this particular thread or even on this forum doesn't mean we all don't know it. I know you know these things. I cannot possibly imagine you're blinded enough not to.

For example, in this discussion, you want me to merely assume as an established fact that America is arrogant. That is not a fact. It is your opinion. I am not going to assume your opinion to be true. You need to substantiate it.

It is a fact that America has a very arrogant attitude. Case in point, Iraq. You walked in and killed their leader without even asking if they wanted it or caring if they were responsible for the attack on your country or that they had no WMDs (something else we all knew)

Better? Grow up.

Every time I hear a crowd chant USA, USA, USA in a NON sporting event, I just facepalm.

It's so stupid and indicative to our own arrogance and ignorance.

Yes, this country has done some great things, but it ruins it with it's politics and it's arrogant attitude believing it is the best in all areas.

Our education is lacking, our health care is terrible, our infrastructure is outdated, and while this is happening too many of our citizens are distracted by stupid things like celebrities, vanity, and unimportant matters.

No, it isn't better. This is not a fact. It is your perception of America. I don't want to get into an Iraq debate, but we (and other nations) went in there on what apparently turned out to be bad information on the WMDs and at a time that we felt a high level of threat to our national security. If the WMDs had been found, most people would be singing a different tune about that war. That isn't arrogance.

Edit.
Nevermind. I'm done with this mindless banter. You win, all hail etc etc.

though all of that realistically only would have worked if both parties worked well together
