Lighter Skin = Better?

Being vassals of the English does not make you English, friend.

True, we are something new on this earth. Something greater than the sum of our parts. Your people are just the diminished dregs of your ancestors who were much greater than those left to the current day.

You speak of us Americans needing to revel in our people exploring the moon. Yet, you only speak of the accomplishments of your people centuries in the past.

Our technology, our robots, are exploring Mars as you and I communicate on these forums. Communicating over the internet, a technology my country invented. Has your nation even lauched a satellite in low Earth orbit? From your own rockets?

Americans are still on the cutting edge of exploration. As we have been since the birth of our nation.

Well, indeed, we're the same on that too. Our people have originated in Mongolia, and have spread from there deep into Europe, and actually managed to carve themselves a place there.

How long did that take? Even if every one of your people from the Mongolian based ancestors to your current generation moved 5 miles in their total life, they would have made it to your current location in that much time that has passed.

Your people move slow, my friend. And they haven't moved much at all in a long time.

Forsaking your own people, your own lands. There are such people in my country aswell, who are glad to forsake their own selves, and would gladly assimilate anywhere where they can earn more money to buy themselves a car, or many of the luxuries they can't yet afford here maybe.

We made a new nation, became a new people based on conscious decisions for something greater than accident of birth. And you consider this a failing? Blind faith to your people because you were just born to them is not impressive.

It's just dogmatic. Rejection of blind servitute to such concepts is what makes my people something this planet has never encountered before. Something with higher ideals and dreams. And it pisses most of the rest of the world off.

My loyalty to my own is not measured by such worldly things.

Bull.

Wane or not, Obama is doing this because it will become necessary in the future. IT's not out of humane concern, but in order to save you from a future catastrophe, where the gap between the rich and the poor will probably get bigger and bigger, and a lot more people will be unable to afford healthcare, at which points you will not just deal with "occupy wall street" type of peaceful demonstrations, but large scale riots that will involve robberies, murders and rapes of people that are wealthier then they are, probably the middle class, or whatever that is left of it at that point, and the upper classes, just as it was the case with the French revolution.

Funny thing. I'm lower middle class but I have really high quality health coverage for my entire family through my job. Odd. Media reports are intentionally sensationalized to sell papers and ad space.

Do we have issues we need to correct? Of course. I'd look askew at anyone from any country that did not say the same. But don't buy into every sensationalized piece of news that popular media throws out.

I'd say that this has something to do with your faulty foundations aswell.

Nothing more.

...

Worst, I'd not say, yet you can save yourselves, but you do not wish to end this faulty worldview of yours.

Faulty, faulty, faulty. Like Turkey is not full of faulty worldviews?

You know what I most like about Turkey? They are the only country on Earth where even less of their populace than the US believes in the scientifically proven Theory of Evolution.

Thanks for making sure America isn't comprised of the most retarded people on Earth, Turkey. We owe you for that.

And our empire lasted 600 years, while being attacked on all fronts, by Europe, Persia, Russia. You? Never once has your country been invaded, except for Pearl Harbor, and 9/11 of course, after which you've sparked a paranoia about terrorism in the world.

You don't know much about American history, eh?

It shows. We've been invaded. Boots on the ground, enemy military soldiers, on our soil. Even to the point of burning down the presidential home in Washington DC.

We live in a fragment of a dead empire, yet our empire was stricken by internal strife that came from strong ethnic sentiments, indeed something which you lack, I'd say, for there are no natives that can tell you to GTFO. We now live in a land where we have ourselves. And in the future, we shall hopefully reunite without brethren, and then we'll see.

The arc that your country is going, and has been going for years now is just to turn into another backward, Theocratic, Muslim country stoning people to death, hanging gays because they were born the way they were, and horribly oppressing your own mothers, grandmothers, sisters, daughters, and wives. Even to the point of killing them if they offend your family's "honor".

Would you like to discuss your state sponsered Brothels where wives of jailed Turks can whore themselves to shorten their husband's jail time?

We can go into that. Something that the American people would explode over, your people accept it and take advantage of the service.

Yes, I know, a byproduct of being of the "NATO". But I believe the remedy to this is a spoonful of oldschool, hardcore nationalism. This is the fault of another faulty thinking of our past politicians, who were the same as I've described above.

We didn't need to be a member of NATO to export our culture wholesale into yours. Oddly enough I didn't see any other merchandise prominently displayed on your every street corner from any other members of NATO.

Just American goods.

Your people were even buying the shoes off our feet (literally) to get their hands on more American goods.
