That’s right, there’s now an organisation called Business for Diplomatic Action whose goal it is to “see the day when America is once again admired as a global leader and respected as a courier of progress and prosperity for all people” – admittedly a big goal considering that much of the world’s poverty and chaos only exists becuase of failed self-centered America-centric foreign policies by the US government.
Amongst the focuses of the organisation are attempts to dispel the stereotypical view of foreigners that Americans are (and I quote) : “arrogant, loud and unwilling to listen, and a threat to their national cultures”.
I believe that’s a bit harsh : not all Americans are loud and obnoxious, although you will find a fair share of them backpacking around Europe and Australia… and you probably don’t have to look hard. Just a few quick tips from me: we’re not blind nor deaf nor thick – you don’t have to glow, shout, or be blunt. We may speak with funny accents but heck so do you, so get over it. And finally, yes, some people have two taps – now for crying out loud it’s not the end of the world. Things may be done differently abroad and that doesn’t make you superior.
If you can handle that then you’re doing good. Now just remember to bring wads of cash, and spend it on our economies.
Actulaly the problem is with the electorial systems. More specifically the problem in America is what happens when your education system fails your electorial system.
The situation is works in two ways. First you have people who don’t really care for anything except themselves. This leads to both voters who don’t give a shit to find out what’s really going on and politicians who don’t care that they might not be acting morally.
The end results is you have a powerful rich country that’s controlled by a minority of people. The Jewish lobby (which btw most American Jews don’t even agree with) and businessmen. I name those two forces because apparently the Jewish Lobby is the 2nd most powerful lobby in America. They are the sole reason why America sents so much “aid” to Israel and why Israel can do no wrong in America, this includes selling American military technologies to China.
The flip side is the businessmen who more and more are in the defence business. I know everyone have this impression that Bill Gate’s evil but seriously he gave 23 Billion to charity and he doesn’t lobby much. Where as the military industrial complex well they lobby for war! Cause they make money in war. Nowadays your typical American GI doesn’t have to do his own laundry, cook food or clean latrines. It’s all done by Haliburton. So you have man power, the solders, that’s paid for already at a relatively cheap price and they aren’t used. No no they pay multi million dollar contracts so contractors can do the job that in every other military in the world is done by the grunts. As it stands war’s profitable for certain American business men and when war’s profitable you will see more of it. Just like the Romans who found war to be profitable and they were in continual war.
