Absolutely, if blacks in America were counted as a separate country they'd rank 16th in terms of wealth & prosperity.
Any other talking points you'd like blasted into smithereens? :lol:

Again the money angle. There is more to life than money.

In most cases wealth and money = FREEDOM.
Ever wonder why muslim extremists intentionally keep their people dirt poor? So they have nothing to live for and everything to die for.

So you're comparing countries where hundreds or even thousands are slaughtered to a country like the U.S. where major progress has been made and different religions factions and races are living together in relative peace and harmony. You're showing some unbelievably poor reasoning ability. Either that, or you know you're on the losing side of the argument, so your only recourse is to try to make it look like I must be some calloused, unfeeling sociopath. You don't work for the DNC, do you? :lol:

Most of those who have died in Iraq at the hand of U.S. soldiers have been those deserving of death. The innocents have been killed by their own countrymen.

I put more weight on what others think by those who try to cross deserts and float to our shores on rafts to live here.

Again your lack of knowledge is evident. Not that I blame you. You have been raised there, and so know no different. America looks after itself. Always has. Luckily your great nation is devoid of corruption.
Of course others head for your shores. We call them terrorists. Ever wondered why?


You know, your little "America Sucks" schtick was cute the first few times...now you're just another "hate America broken record"...blah, blah, blah...whatever...

I think it is a little unfair to brand me as a hater of America. I was just pointing out the irony, but whatever.


Oh, so you were doing me a favor? :)

You are very transparent, my friend...perhaps your superpower is Shallowness?

What a stupid comment. You can speak your mind on here, but you'll get thrashed for bad mouthing the US military. While I don't necessarily agree with the war in Iraq, I'll be damned if I sit quietly while you bad mouth them. Jackass.

Deserving of death? Who gets to make that determination on who is deserving? George W? I am surprised you don't think that determination should be left to a higher power.

Great comeback. Resorting to name calling when you think someone does not agree with your view. For your education I was not trashing the military. I trash those who sent in the military. Namely George W. Our military is for protecting our country not invading others for their oil and killing off our soldiers.

Once again, do you understand context at all? Did I say that the U.S. is completely devoid of any and all violence? You must be studying the liberal playbook for debating skills because only a stark-raving mad liberal could possibly stretch their opponent's true positions as far as you do.

Right, because no other countries have ever engaged in civil wars, taken advantage of their indigenous peoples, or persecuted their minorities...
