US Involvement in Swedish Anti-Piracy Efforts - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Cuntsman;26568193]USA is the new Nazi Germany[/QUOTE] Yeah keep dreaming.

"The U.S. is really beyond reason now. It is beyond our imagining to know what they are going to do next and what they are prepared to do. There is only one comparison: Nazi Germany"

:frog:..U.S.A.....:frog:

USA being world police as usual.

From what I've gathered. The US government doesn't really care about The Pirate Bay (except the branch that I don't know if it's even actually government starts with an R). But once they put the leaks on, that's all changed.

But now that one of these sites hosts their documents, sure they will pay more attention.

[QUOTE=Brage Nyman;26555060]The American government should try to improve their own freedom, instead of fucking with others. :argh:[/QUOTE] Yes, they're interfering with their....freedom to...pirate? Somebody help me out, I'm lost here.

[QUOTE=Edthefirst;26567979]Another prime example is Afghanistan. We supplied them with weapons and training in the 80s when the USSR was invading, and as soon as they pulled out we just left them for themselves. It's not surprising why the country became ruled by the Taliban. Everything they had was destroyed and over 1 million dead. The US government should have seriously aided in reconstructing Afghanistan. We already had the hearts and minds of the people after the war, and had we helped them back on their feet we could have had a powerful ally in the region. Now all we have is an undominable hell-hole that sucks up lives and taxpayer dollars.[/QUOTE] That is what you get when you let civilians run wars.

[QUOTE=Splendor;26573904]That is what you get when you let civilians run wars.[/QUOTE] Are you saying Afghan civilians? They were the only option. We couldn't just support Afghanistan directly without fighting the USSR directly. This was the only choice the government had. What they fucked up on was the aftermath. They simply said, "ok war's done, cya Afghanistan" and completely stopped supporting Afghanistan when they most needed help to rebuild. That's why the armed militants took over. If we had helped in reconstruction Afghanistan would be one of the nations in the Middle East with the best relations to the US.

[QUOTE=Edthefirst;26555122]South America is the prime example of this. Chile, Argentina, Brazil, the list goes on. Not to mention things in Central America like Nicaragua.[/QUOTE] Which I am still unable to figure out why we did because those places named, are shit places to begin with.

[QUOTE=Terragen;26574179]Which I am still unable to figure out why we did because those places named, are shit places to begin with.[/QUOTE] It's all politics and capitalism. Don't be so quick to judge. Many of these countries are excellent for growing any sorts of "exotic" crops which we use daily. Sugar Cane is an example. Plus all these countries are extremely rich in natural resources. Just look at Brazil. They've found huge oil reserves, found the largest fresh water aquifer on the planet, have a gigantic unexplored forest (I'm not advocating the destruction of the Amazon here, but it's a key playing card), and not to mention extremely fertile lands. Brazil is already self sufficient with energy and oil, food (with the exception of flour), and other goods. For the US to lose this during the Cold War would be devastating. Even though these resources remained mainly untapped until the 1990s, losing them would be unacceptable.

jesus i hate my government

[QUOTE=Jiyoon;26555108]Like the united states ever cared about democracy or freedom. Over the past 60 years we've toppled democratic governments just to replace them with our own right wing fascist dictators so long as theyre capitalist. The united states has about as much interest in democracy as the USSR did in socialism.[/QUOTE] Oh god this post is so true I came.

[QUOTE=PariahKing;26565921]Stuff like this is why people overseas hate us.[/QUOTE] Yeah fuck your government.

[QUOTE=Terragen;26574767]I am not talking about the land, just the people there lol.[/QUOTE] Oh. :frown:

Hey, what the fuck America, stay out of this.

[QUOTE=Terragen;26574767]I am not talking about the land, just the people there lol.[/QUOTE] What the fuck are you talking about? What is wrong with the people there?

[QUOTE=Terragen;26584197]Name something that is not wrong with them...[/QUOTE] Harr harr, 3rd world country obviously has shit people. Just like India and China filled with dirty, ugly, and worthless people right?

[QUOTE=Edthefirst;26585469]Harr harr, 3rd world country obviously has shit people. Just like India and China filled with dirty, ugly, and worthless people right?[/QUOTE] No those people are actually cool.

[QUOTE=Terragen;26585772]No those people are actually cool.[/QUOTE] Then what makes South Americans uncool?

[QUOTE=Terragen;26584197]Name something that is not wrong with them...[/QUOTE] There is nothing wrong with them... Are you fucked up or something? Seriously...

this is why everyone hates america

[QUOTE=Terragen;26584197]Name something that is not wrong with them...[/QUOTE] You are being a racist prick for no apparent reason. Central and South Americans are among the hardest working people around, aside from the mainly black laborers down here. Those people probably built your house you ungrateful child.

[QUOTE=RayDark;26588463]You are being a racist prick for no apparent reason. Central and South Americans are among the hardest working people around, aside from the mainly black laborers down here. Those people probably built your house you ungrateful child.[/QUOTE] Nope, Nope, and Nope.

At least we can comfort ourselves with how America tends to be generally incompetent, so I doubt there's much to worry about. [editline]13th December 2010[/editline] When I say America, I mean it in the political sense, the people are cool. [editline]13th December 2010[/editline] Well, not as cool as us Sweedes, but, you'll get there, just hang in there. [editline]13th December 2010[/editline] :smug:

[QUOTE=BANNED USER;26565752]Blaming an entire country instead of just the government, you really are all a bunch of children, grow up.[/QUOTE] I think what people are saying when they say "the US" is actually "the US government", although it's no secret you've got a long tradition of patriotism and therefore generally a loyalty towards your govenment and president.
