I wanted to build an entire thread around the people in ATS who HATE the U.S. This quote below comes from a person on the "COMMRADES..." thread.
"I wish everyone would totally boycott the US and put trade sanctions on it until it learnt it wasn't the center of the Universe. Asians control 62%
of the world's finances, and are 65% of the population. The world should not be revolving around US and UK agendas. Russia doesn't need any
sanctions. They are not the ones in the wrong here. "
Let's review...
1. Since there are so many Asian we need to become subserviant?
2. Since Asians hold the tab we must become subserviant?
3. U.S. and U.K agendas are wrong?
4. Russians don't need sanctions. Invade a sovereign nation for your own needs...hmmm. Like you accuse the U.S. and U.K?
5. The U.S. needs punished.
I want to throw this open for discussion.
Should the U.S. be punished? Why or why not?

I am amazed at the people who disparage the U.S. yet won't cowboy up and debate the reasons. Not even one.

America is a hegemonic hyperpower, and I fully expect it to act like one, for the time being.
Everyone knows that China will overtake the US economy within the next two decades.
Unless China changes, I don't like the prospect of one extremely cruel and oppressive regime ruling over a lesser cruel and oppressive regime.
I think the US does a great deal of good in the world - like all nations, it could do more and stop being so hypocritical with certain issues.
Besides, the way things are going, the US is will punish itself just fine without external intervention.

So I take it that the impression the OP is portraying here is that he/she prefers an Asian styled Hegemony ruling over the world ? would that be
system based on Ghengis Kahn or Mao TSE Tung ? or perhaps something closely resembling the Japanese Fuedal system ?. I guess it could also be mirrored
on Pol Pot or Ho Chi Min perhaps ?
I know one thing is for sure, the West allows you to have your thoughts without ( much ) persecution and millions have died for your rights so unless
you are willing to die for saying such things then put up with "OUR" system, because I'm pretty sure those dictators listed above would have you
beheaded for saying less and probably exterminate anyone related to you as well.

Thread from VIKINGANT
US Colony Iraq Subsidizes Military-Industrial Fraud
How can you go wrong? Take over a country with plenty of ready cash, become their sole supplier of military products and name your own price.
To take it all a step further….
Once they have fully accepted the take over, they can help you invade their neighbor with ‘their’ equipment bought from you so you don’t need to
supply anything. They have paid you for the privilege of fighting your war.

I'm going to go off the deep end and guess that this person is not American.. Once America gets back in the right lane, everything will be ok. The
entire US does not need punished, only those who have helped to corrupt our country, and the rest of the world with injustice *hint, hint* white
house...

There is a forum, (imagine that) here at ATS completely dedicted to debateing. I suggest you and a worthy opponent, challenge each other in the debate
forum.
If any one feels they can handle it of course, debates are great and encourage more thorough actions by all members.
With that said, if it wasn't for the US of A, China and oher countries would have had no one to emulate and steal (via espionage) their technology
from.
Come on, it has been gong on for decades now, almost all of the major nations today, have gained such standing from us here in the US of A.
It was America who had lead the way, and made the path wide and clear, for others to follow more easily.
Just my $.02.

To be honest this whole recent wave of posts and threads displaying outrage towards the fact that some members of ATS dislike the US is starting to
get tiresome.  Is it that important that a handful of people in the forums dislike your country?
It even borders the ridiculous because if you read a thread entirely written by Americans about America by the third post you realize that the
discussion on political, cultural and social issues is filled with different opinions and views opposite to each other. But if a foreigner posts any
form of opinion that disagrees with any specific American policy... "Oh... my... God... did you read that?  ... how dare he? ... he must hate us..
 "
Why do you care about it so much anyway? They are just a few opinions on an internet forum.  Only as relevante as you'll let them be. And
anyone that is actually radical enough as to type up an opinion that states they hate millions of people they never met is clearly not worth the
attention anyway.
Chill! It is not a popularity contest - it is a discussion forum. Deny Vanity!

I never started this to be a joke. This is a serious attempt to discuss a popular desire amongst ATS menbers to bring America "down a notch."
I was seeking the reason(s) why.
Jelousy?
Revenge?
Rightous Indignation?
Anti-Capitalism?
