Why do you think that might that be?

Just sayin...

Anyway, I'm done.
I doubt it. Keep hating the U.S. and being an apologist if it makes you sleep better at night. I've served my nation in war and in peace so your tired old America bashing angle isn't working with me. Lastly, most of the world doesn't think Americans are self-centered people, they actually love America and its people. Its only a very loud minority that wants you to think that the rest of the world hates us.

Okay.

On the bright side, attitudes abroad are getting better http://pewglobal.org/2010/03/05/revi...-global-image/


Thank you for your service.


When did I say I hated the US?

Um, you need to take your head out of the sand. Don't get me wrong, I love my neighbours to the south but outside of NA, the US hasn't been that popular.

Jordo, I agree with with all your comments and it needed to be said.

you think they would take all the damaged cars say..in the pic... and strip them down and rebuild them? then try and sell them again? my parents said they might try that route. instead of a clean slate new.

Maybe, maybe not! Mazda destroyed a couple thousand vehicles a few years ago. They were in pretty good, to very good shape!

Actually, I added a couple links to some Pew Research center findings on the subject in my reply you might find of interest.

The good news is we are now better liked
