Don't give a shit? The company I work for gave $20,000 to the families of any employee who had any relative who died on 9/11 on top of the mass amounts given to regular charities

Music Please...maybe if you got your ass up and bought a cd you could choose something other than Britany Spears...I prefer Method Man...I'll show you some real shaolin style mofo...or how Oboot some BIGGIE or Sublime or Rusted Root...maybe you prefer some Johny Cage and as far as work goes...work smarter not harder.
you have to admit too that mainstream american culture is child oriented...why are Disney and Britany Spears so big (sides Brit's obvious popularity with the 15-30 something single male crowd) its because of "momy, dady I want that!!! And lets goto Disney World"...each generation of americans is Focused on providing more for their children and giving them what they lacked or wished for!

ok ok ok...now how come when I look outside my window i don't see beers and cig butts? Maybe because when if rarely there are some I pick them up and throw them away...get off your ass and do something about it, I don't think that westernization has brainwashed your citizens into dirtying the environment. thats like saying we have some many underage alcoholics over here because the drinking age is lower in europe

We have some in nyc...LOVE THOSE COMMERCIALS FOR IT! LIKE 5 FOREIGN HOT CHICKS dancing in flimsy clothes telling you to drink fanta...its commical and sexy can't beat that!
sure american culture might be like cocaine...but then there are those other cultures to try, Italian culture is like MDMA, English culture is like Opium, Australian culture is like Beer...you have to realize not everyone likes cocaine! some people get off on different things...i think that its the forcing of culture on people that is wrong....definately throw it out there to give them a chance to accept it or like it...but to "push" it on someone...although you can't lick the coke and not sniff it...if you are going to semi-american-culturize...don't complain about hearing about the rest of it!
Overseas....lets see...anywhere....french...californian....french....californian....french...californian...french...c alifornian...french...californian...FRENCH...CALIF ORNIAN...damn it wish it wasn't so hard to tell the difference between those two!
One culturistic characteristic (definately not good spalin) which i hope you would agree with that is worth something...is the thing your reading right now...wait you might not be in the u.s. so its a global culture...but where is this cultural mixing pot of a/. site located? Plus, we have the late Bob Ross and his happy lil clouds:P
ummmm....i do believe that we have some previous culture...remember those people...damn who are they...ohhh yeah NATIVE Americans...calling us the new world still is like saying...something that is ignorant that should be said! there:P
/me looks around for an ancient Myan Crystal skull to voodoo you with

good pretense, some writers just make it easier to communicate ideas, wish most of my college texts were like this, well some were, but not the majority.
oh no! our cats'hit killed some otters, what about nasa using ultralowfrequency sonar which blows up whales eardrums and causes them to be beached? brings a whole new meaning to green katsup...wait no it doesn't.
since when does a law not have to be garbage to get passed...the broadcasters want to make more money so they fight the law, the labels want to make more money so they lobbiedbribed it into existence.
ummmm...yeah, we have the gold for about what???? 3 secounds, then the corps have my gold, his gold, and my neighbors' gold...gee where did all the gold go? They are melting it down and making gold toilet seats from it.

I'm not crazy, but it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that our government here in the good ol' US of A does horrible, unbelievable, conspiracy-ridden things, but is the best at it. Would you rather they be no good at it? Then all the other countries would make fun of us:(

"While I think every reasonable human being agrees that Sept. 11 was a horrible crime of terror, if you take a broader view of things, most foreign policy/military U.S. initiatives since WWII have NOT been about fighting extremism, but rather about expanding America's influence and furthering its own national interests,"
Please! What the hell does ever other country try to do? Try to further neighboring countries influence? And promote international interests more than their own? Get a clue. America is just the best at it, and will continue to be...God, bless America...or get the hell out of the way!
Alot of things also cost money...

In regards to military weapontry, it takes MORE money to difuse expired weapons then it does to use them...now how long they last, or how long we have given them "shelf-lifes" is the question. I am sure they they last quite long, but probably there are some risks involved with the age...
