In the original post you said America did certain things. Now you're saying only delusional minds see land masses as labeled countries.
Yet you're labeling land masses with country names and then accusing these land masses of assassination, spreading propaganda and so on.
Refer to certain "zones" with a name is one thing,
locking people inside little cages and cells, summing and concluding their existence in a paper called "nationality", is something else.
God made us all equal; all humans; until humans thought that the world is a cake and started to cut the pieces left and right, and then here we go: your life is priced according the map.
Referring to a geographic zone with its name for distinction is one thing, calling it a "country" and creating a "nationality" out of it is something totally else.

The price per barrel looks like this because somebody was trying to take out Iran & Russia. It looks stable over 40 now with Russia, U.S, Turkey, Europe & Iran shaking hands together.
The dollar is getting weak. It's wise to think over the long run:

Quote:As Congressman Ron Paul wrote in Texas Straight Talk, May 15, 2006, “The consequences of a rapidly declining dollar are not yet fully understood by the American public. The long-term significance has not sunk in, but when it does there will be political hell to pay in Washington. Our relative wealth as a nation is measured in dollars, and the steady erosion of the value of those dollars means we will all be poorer in the future.”

We need more people like this! I was moved by your regret.
If we keep seeing nations as their leaders we blind ourselves to the simple truth that it's all just people.

yeah this one too:
<3<3<3 you can soooo invade me
Who thought terrorism can be this sweet? or this "hot"?
Vaginal warfare is just out of this world. Imagine receiving a "headshot" or a "bang bang" from one of these guys, what if she "blowed" me? won't that be something?
Any now seriously, if we become too much of a trouble, there is always:

That's what you see
Just medals and scars
It's not a game. When bombs fall, and soldiers shoot, people fall and die. From their blood, misery is born. Part of it turns into ISIS. Another part turns into me. In shock and awe, the rest parts -the bigger part- remains crippled; unable to function.
Nobody said Arabs and Muslims have no mistakes.
But some people don't understand what war means. What death means. How blood smells.
Some don't. Or could I say many?

Actually, nobody knows what my fate would be.
If my God wished, he'll throw me in the abyss to pay for my sins, it's not like I'm sinless, and frankly I did a lot of wrong things in my life.
But he can forgive me too.
Though, I try my best to combat evil, I can feel the poor chap getting his throat cut by ISIS, or the poor kid getting a bomb that is signed by other "secular" kids.
So I combat that even if it was with words, spreading awareness, maybe God will forgive me for my sins. He forgives everything.
Don't worry about my death. Everybody dies eventually. Life is so short. MS, war, car accidents, so many reasons.

It's not like my father was my model for God. But yeah, God can hate me, despise me too, so paradise is not a guaranteed outcome; IDK about my fate. It scares the hell out of me.
But for the rest, Tyler is spot on.

There was no Tyler Durden, and there is no god. Tyler Durden was all in Edward Norton's head just as is the capacity to do good and evil. The idea of god gives people the excuse to do terrible things on someone else's behalf. At the end of the line, your consciousness will fade into inky blackness and you will simply cease to be. No paradise, no hell.. The atoms of your body in billions of years will eventually rejoin the pool of atoms from which is came.
I find it comforting that there is no marionette behind the curtain pulling the strings. The world would be a better place if people came to the understanding that THIS IS IT. You do not go to paradise if your a bad person while alive, but confess your sins or do whatever the hell you do to be "forgiven". You are simply remembered as a bastard or waste of human flesh to those left behind.

No, his above that. To our minor brains; "celestial" are the highest thing we can imagine. There's earth, then the skies, then outer space, then who knows what?
"Celestial" is only one realm.

Tyler exists inside all of us, Norton did become a better person through Tyler's presence, our problem is that we never listen to the Tyler inside, that's why many of us -so many- fail to believe in ourselves, fail to believe "we can do it".
God is the only real thing that keep us away from madness, to let our inner voices take control of us, even if they were the wisest voices on earth, they sure invade and control our thoughts, consume our energy, and eventually lead us to self destruction, either by slowly killing ourselves, or through an immediate suicide, or through murdering ourselves with rash actions.
Why would I assume a black ink revenge after death, that drowns me into an ocean of infinite blackness? I mean, this life happened once; right? Why can't I believe that something else will happen too? Desperation will never solve your problems, but -just like belief and religion-; it's a leap of faith that I frankly never understand why a human would take.
