do you still think that your country finances the whole world?

: Is this some USA bashing web page?

The purpose of this forum is as a debating room. It so happens that, it seems to me, the majority of comments posted to this site come from the USA - but don't forget that essentially we are here to comment about the damage that Mc Donalds do to the environment and health of people. McDonalds is an American owned company but it seems that in doing so it is perceived to be criticism of the US. My, aren't we touchy !! As you say, no society is perfect, but you should note that the criticism you perceive to be levelled at the good ol' USA comes from (almost exclusively) western sources who don't need your aid - or do you still think that your country finances the whole world? The fact is my friend, that most democratic nations don't need anything from the US and that we have a different - that is to say not better, not worse, just different outlook on life than perhaps you insular Americans. If I wanted to rant on I might perhaps say that the only thing I think Americans like to do is demonstrate how to pick on small nations that don't agree with their political viewpoint (Grenada comes to mind and maybe Cuba too) and crush them. When from time to time there are no foreign enemies you turn your arsenals on each other - still, so long as you have the freedom to kill each other by the dozen, maybe there is hope for the rest of the world..
