Hello,

I have never said I hate the americans, but I have said I hate the american way of life.

Now please before you try to assassinate me read on.

america tries to force its will on others, by this I don't mean the people of the states but the government through the CIA. This has been seen through bush going to the U.N. and when they say not to war he went ahead anyway. Whether it is right or wrong he ignored the UNITED NATIONS because it did not agree with him. This make the U.N. irrelevant as it no longer has any power.

For decades america has supported terrorism through giving weapons, money or training to the following: Iraq, Iran, PIRA, Al Qaeda, the Taliban, Niguragua, General Noriaga, to name but a few.

Then when they no longer agree with america they attack.

america keeps it's population on the whole uneducated or to a standard of lower education so it can feed it whatever it likes. I have 2 friends form the Caribbean, who have been educated in the British system in The Bahamas and Antigua, then gone on to education in the states and the first 2 years of collage were not to the standard of education given to them under the British system. Again I am not saying every British school is good and every american one good, how many american presidents have been educated in Britain and vice versa. The ivy league universities are good, but to attend you need to have a lot of money. The school I went to was not the best in Britain but many of it's student went to our Premier universities.

As for americans, I have many american friends (relatively speaking) as I have worked with them for some years. They are on the whole very friendly, polite and good, however, they also have a very superior air about them.

You haven't offended me but because this is an online chat and doesn't really mean a great deal.

As for my talking shite have you any evidence to prove it, if so let me know and if it is correct I am prepared to listen. however I don't see 'we kicked your ass', ' we saved your ass in WW2', 'If it wasn't for us, you would be speaking German' and all the other stereotypical rubbish spouted by americans, I will respect you.

I am educated and know more about american history than most. I tend to read up on subjects I argue about, it is not just a case of I know more than you. (that is not mean to read as you mourning star but you in the hypothetical sense. By the way the Germans don't have a word for Smart ass, but the nearest 'alles wisser' or 'Besserwisser'. Which translated is 'all knower' or 'better knower', and that comes from a German. not me. Most German words do not translate in either direction, which is why it is such a hard language to learn, and can only be learnt if you are brought up with it.

If you wish to converse the you can so by e-mailing me.

The only Indian words I know sounds like 'washing the hay'. may be you could correct me.
