The Good American in Haiti

[give her dixie]

well done bill gates, provides fantastic products at fantastic prices and then donates large chunks of the profits. individual americans donate more money than any other race on earth. the other thing about living in the states is the amount of voluntary work that gets done, i never knew anyone who volunteered for anything in ireland (maybe that says more about me!).

3 questions for you here on this post:

1. Can you back up your claims that the US donate the most per head of Capita?

2. When did Americans become a race?

3. Are you aware that Microsoft have been fined approx $2 billion for their unfair trading practices?

Was going to ask you to back up your claim that NO Irish person volunteers, but sure i'll not embarras you any futher.

[Zapatista]

2. When did Americans become a race?

When they beat the USSR to the moon

If you spend some time there and see what passes for journalism it might explain the delusions.

Maybe tyrones own forgot this one when George took the Senate apart in their sham on Capitol Hill.
At least the George I support hasn't killed anyone, unlike the million odd George Bush is responsible for killing.

Anything critical of the States' foreign policy is attacked here as hate or whatever. How about we offer the lads a chance to put the case for some of the US foreign policy?

For example: Why the War in Iraq is justified - Discuss

declan, the US is not one state but a federation of 50 states each of which hold their own election for president. so its possible to not win the popular vote and still win the election by winning enough states by just a few votes. every state in the union has its own government. in the uk its possible to get 40% + of the vote and end up with 25% of the seats in parliament with first past the post

As other posters have said I'm aware of the electoral college system etc. I was just posing the original questions because of TO's arguments vis -a-vis "democratically" elected regimes around the world. Didn't get an answer either but anyway not to worry.

The more fascinating thing for me in the whole America Good/Bad thing is the level of misinformation around. A Newsweek poll out  exposed "gaps" in America's knowledge of history and current events. Perhaps most alarmingly, 41% of Americans answered 'Yes' to the question "Do you think Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq was directly involved in planning, financing, or carrying out the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001?

americans knowledge of the rest of the world is on a par with the rest of the worlds knowledge of america, poor to average. i could name cities in america with populations of over 1m that people in europe couldnt pick out on a map.

well done bill gates, provides fantastic products at fantastic prices and then donates large chunks of the profits. individual americans donate more money than any other race on earth. the other thing about living in the states is the amount of voluntary work that gets done, i never knew anyone who volunteered for anything in ireland (maybe that says more about me!).

3 questions for you here on this post:

1. Can you back up your claims that the US donate the most per head of Capita?

2. When did Americans become a race?

3. Are you aware that Microsoft have been fined approx $2 billion for their unfair trading practices?

Was going to ask you to back up your claim that NO Irish person volunteers, but sure i'll not embarras you any futher.

theres any number of them on the web, goggle them yourself

To be honest, not the most compelling evidence there magickingdom. Anonymous people on a message board quoting figures from a link that doesn't work
