'Bad news is news'. Why does the news, most of the time, tell us about what went wrong?
Have a think.
If you want to have a 'remember when' and recount all the good things the USA has done, then start a thread and go for it.
I'm more concerned with what's happening today and what it might lead to tomorrow. Of course to understand today's events/problems we may need to look at the past to see how something came about. If when looking into the past we find a web of problems and a pattern of deceit and treachery and we choose to discuss it, we will be discussing the bad things. It does not mean any good has never happened, even if we don't mention it, that's why your posts are mostly just a distraction - most people have some idea of the good thing the USA has done.
The NDAA and the economic path the USA has taken could jeopardise the world economy and security. Looking at what this means, and more importantly, what it could mean in the near future is relevant to us all. Wasting time on past good things doesn't help us now. Anyone can look back at this thread and see how many posts have been just a waste. Is it that you think what happens in the USA has little affect on you here in Australia? Is talking about the bad shattering the glorified image you have of the USA and you can't cope with it? Or do you just truly don't believe the bad news? Look it up for yourself. Don't go to 'kooky' conspiracy sites - go to eg the USA government website or any other website you feel are reputable and do some research.
I say the USA has bad, you say as if. I post over a dozen past bads and you say half are either, "blatantly false and/or completely unsubstantiated". I say which half and you ignore it. Why are we wasting time? What does Yugoslavia being capable of building jet fighters have to do with anything? What relevance is it if the USA is more technologically advanced - does that automatically make them nice guys? By the way, thanks for ignoring my post on the Yugoslav fighter jet and jumping in to calling me a fool who, "would have either been hung, drawn and quartered or rotting in some prison for being stupid." - you seem to do that when the point is proven.
Have a look at the NDAA and TSA and 'Fast and Furious'. See what you find, you might be surprised.
