Hell "I" don&#39;t like MOST of the politicians in office.

I wholeheartedly apologize.
Hard to differentiate the two though when you make jokes (which were quite funny) and then say you don;t like America.

When you say you "dont like America" what exactly do you mean, then? That you dont like the land that they live on?

I think he&#39;s referring to American foreign policy.

As a foreigner, that is only thing I can fathom 4th gen having a problem with.

I really get so sick of USA bashing when it all comes down to impotent nations pretending that they are somehow different, when, in fact, they would be no different from the USA if they had the ability.

Are you disallowing for the fact that people of different cultures may react differently to different situations?
That&#39;s a rather narrow perspective.

and you buy alaska for next to nothing from the russians, then exploit the oil reserves (now, where have i heard that before...?)&nbsp;

I am a bit perplexed by this statement.

We picked up Alaska from the Russians; true.

We got a terrific deal; true.

Are you implying we somehow used the Russians in the process?

That the Russians allowed themselves to be duped?

I myself am not wild about the Russians, but I would be loathe to insinuate they are somehow incapable of proper negotiation.

Also:

There is oil in Alaska, which, by-and-large, we have not extracted.

Why do you insist on the pejorative "exploit"?

Does this mean you believe the entire middle-east is "exploiting" their oil supplies?

Or Russia? Or Venezuela?

Are you anti-oil, too?

I suggest you park your little Ford, then.

Swear off plastics while you&#39;re at it.

petrol in the uk is 80 pence per litre

perhaps america could think about the rest of the world...?

or maybe they&#39;ll just go for bush&#39;s favourite measure and plant some petrol trees (reference to bush&#39;s solution to co2 pollution/global warming (not that i subscribe to the global warming theory))
