Last time I was in France the
national langauge was not German, we accept that as a thank you.


*pffffrt* but it is not english, either. And I'd bet they'd rather learn
German than English ...


In case you haven't noticed, America doesn't conquer people. We come
in, save your ass, and go home.

Another thing you may not have noticed: Many in the U.S. would balk at
EVER raising arms to save the French...again.

Give everybody his fair share? You're an idiot.

well, what are the alternatives? fighting those wars until some wacko hits
the red button and fires all those nukes (even firing one is enough)?
what's next? get a broader view, please.


The alternative is certainly not "giving everyone his fair
share"...whatever THAT is.

...as long as you realize that what taxes you are not collecting on gasoline, you are ultimately collecting somewhere
else, so you end up paying for it anyway, one way or another.


One estimate has 12.5 billion in annual subsidies to petroleum companies (and that's back in 1998). That is coming
from somewhere.

The problem here is that we are continuing to pay those 'hidden' expenses and taxes while also paying the ever
increasing costs of the gasolene. The prices are being driven by speculators, not by true demand, and the profits are
exorbitant.

Last I heard, the US was a "democracy" (ie, representatives were elected), so if there's a problem, thank your
friednds and neighbors.

If only that were true during all of our history, rather than the two World
Wars. Because Native Americans may tend to disagree with both your
statements:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Wars

And the U.S. took the area encompassing California and New Mexico as a
result of the Mexican-American war:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_American_War

Likewise, Puerto Rico and the Philipines were territorial conquests
resulting from the Spanish-American war in which the U.S. "didn't go home":

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish-American_War
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Rico

The U.S. did its best to not "go home" which was evident during the
Philipine-American war:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philipine-American_War

Lastly, the War of 1812 involved a failed attempt by the U.S. to take
Canada:

Ignoring the quality of wikipedia as an authoritative source, you got
anything more recent than over a hundred years ago?
