The most beautiful song ever written. We're standing shoulder to shoulder with you. You have the greatest country in the world. God bless the USA... From your friends across the Atlantic, living in England. Thanks for all you have done for the rest of us.
i think she did a great job with this song becuase this song should be sang in a low voice it just makes it better. i am proud to be an american even more when i hear this song. thanks to everyone who gave their lives and is serving for this country
Anyone want to know the difference between a US soldier and a terrorist? A terrorist will put you in front of him as a human shield to get what he wants because he doesn't care about your life. A US soldier will STAND in FRONT of you to defend your life, even if some of those they stand in front of mock, snicker and call him an idiot from behind for defending their freedoms to say those words....Just FOOD FOR THOUGHT....
THIS IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE LEE GREENWOODS SONG!!! NEVER FORGET WHO WRITES THE GOOD SONGS!!!! AND YOU KNOW IF YOU LISTEN TO SIMON AT 3:00 YOU WILL HEAR HIM SAY BRILLIANT WRITER.
Um, what do ANY of these comments have to do with the girl's level of talent as a singer? Simon was right, this was the most brilliant song choice she could make. Any other week, yeah, Kristy sucks, but criticize her this week, and WHY DO YOU HATE FREEDOM???
The American's Creed. I believe in the U.S.A. as a Government of the People, By the People, For the People; Whose just powers are derived from the Consent of the Governed; A Democracy in a Republic A Sovereign Nation of Many Sovereign States; A Perfect Union, One & Inseparable; Established upon those Principles of Freedom, Equality, Justice, and Humanity. I therefore DO NOT believe Support our troops or Shut-up My Duty is to my Country, not a multinational military industrialcomplex.
True Freedoms means Not only will I stand for my Beliefs. I WILL defend your right to have your own beliefs, even if they are totally contradictory to my own.I have no problem with God Bless the U.S.A. But what if one of us in this country of 300million + Doesn't. We tell (him or her) Shut-up!!! Same goes for all the Shock&Awers. The U.S.A., Constitution NOT Government gives me the RIGHT NOT privilege to say what ever I want as long as DO NOT infringe on your RIGHT to do the same.
I don't understand some people. . My mom is a marine and my dad is an army man. I have brothers in the navy, airforce and marines. My best friend is in the army. When I hear all this complaining is just makes me upset because I know that my family is not fighting in vain.Whether or not you are someone that is for the war or against it, until you yourself is on the battle field experiencing the all the maddness and choas, just shut up.!! We who have not experienced the war have no room to talk.
and to think some people dont even say the pleadge of aligence. or AT LEAST stand and put their hand over their heart i know what its like to have someone out their a fighting and im scard of what might happen to them thumbs up if u think people should in the least put their hands over their hearts
@Gaarafreak911 I totally agree. I remember when I was a kid, we were required to put our hands over our hearts and say the pledge of allegiance. What ever happened to that? now it's more about taking 'under God' out of the pledge and they don't say it anymore in classes. That might be why so many people are ignorant or not fully understanding what the flag stands for: a free republic where at least there's the 'opportunity' to do better, NOT the guarantee....
@uhscoyotes07 yea thats good someone agrees i mean i wont be able to see my brother for a year or so and he loves this country so much it makes me mad that they wont if they just knew and had the little thought of not being able to see someone they love or that person might die those people take things for granted
My dad is in the army. love you daddy.... Id take a bullet for yu any day. If you r a soldier, thank you for standing for your country. You are all loved in this counrty.
im getting tired of all of these fags not be happy for what they have.. and specially other countries who talk down about the USA because when ever you need help.. who do you come to? the USA and we help you and in return you fags are ungrateful
yes god bless the usa and i have to love simon for giving kristy lee cook a good comment for singing this song.. this is a great song for everybody to here.
@911insidejob81 watch out kids this is called a fag he spreads shit around the internet cause he thinks he is cool or he thinks he is smart and thinks his own government would do something as horrible as 9/11 to its own country stay away from him
@911insidejob81 I was born on 9/11! The exact same day! And 4 other kids in my hospital too! So good things did happen on that day! You are a $&#&#%%#^#&$*!
@911insidejob81 as a soldier ill say this much for you if you cant stand behind us then please stand in front of us becuase i wouldnt mind you taking a bullet instead of me cuz i sacrifice precious time away from my wife thats 2 months preagnant and id rather be home with her than defending a jackass like you who doesnt appreciate what you have.
@Rhinousa34 I want to thank you for defending my way of life. While I'll never condone war I will ALWAYS SUPPORT THE PEOPLE WHO FIGHT FOR THAT RIGHT. SO thank you and god bless.
@Rhinousa34 i am right there with you brother. im getting ready to ship out and ill be gone from my wife for over a year whom i recently married before getting deployed. It sucks that we, although chose to serve, have to protect assholes like 911insidejob81. And you 911 piece of shit if you are not already a fat fuck get your ass away from the computer screen watching porn and come serve. otherwise do us all a favor and shut the fuck up
@12mikes82 hey mike thanks a lot it means a lot. its nice to know we have support from other countries such as the united kingdom. it's kind of ironic my wife in her early years grew up in london and it's where we are going when i return next summer. also too ive met a couple of british soldiers. probably the best to serve next to other than my own guys. god bless and thank you
@Rhinousa34 Thanks man for your service. Its hard enough that you guys have to be away from your families without jackasses insulting you and spreading lies. Just know that millions of Americans are supporting you guys over there. And we thank you for your service!
@Rhinousa34 I would Gladly Take a Bullet for our american soldiers for all they do. I Mean They're Risking Our Lives for EveryBody Out In America. Thankyou Brave Soldier.
@Rhinousa34 AMEN!! My son is an American Soldier so HOOAH to you Soldier. Thank you so much for your service and sacrifice. I pray that you come home safe and get to spend precious time with your wife and new baby!!!!!
@Rhinousa34 AMEN!! My son is an American Soldier so HOOAH to you Soldier. Thank you so much for your service and sacrifice. I pray that you come home safe and get to spend precious time with your wife and new baby!!!!! I also appreciate Simon's comments about Lee Greenwood at the end! Who knew when he wrote this song how much it would come to the front of our lives in the new century. God Bless the U.S.A.
@Rhinousa34 Right on!!. My mom is in the marines, my dad is in the army ,and I have a brother that is in the navy and another brother in the airforce. I agree with all that you just said. Thank you for your service and your hard work. I know that it must be hard spending so much time away from your wife when she is preagant. Thank you so much for all that you are doing.Always in my prayers.
@Rhinousa34 Iam totally confused, You're a solider I'm guessing here but didn't you take a oath to defend, Constitution, bill of rights, The United Startes of America. Like I said I'm guessing, but your enlisted, reserves,active, inactive. And as a member of the Military you are sworn to protect and defend The U.S.A., and what that means is the PEOPLE and Constitution that governs them. And just because you say your a solider, does NOT mean your on the Frontline & Takin bullets Your a Jackass...
@Hamrickland Either way hes doing something you will never have the balls to do..... so have some respect and thank him for giving you the freedom to go on youtube...
@Rhinousa34 My dad is a soldier, and I know he will survive! I love that he is fighting for good people, but I also hate that he also has to save jack a**es
@Rhinousa34 You're an idiot if you decided to join the army, putting your life in danger for rich and powerful because you think ''defending'' pieces of land means something. You're a disgrace to the human race, and that's what matters, not the red white and blue dick rammed up your ass everyday to make you believe you're actually fighting for something.
@dchains have you very been in a war? if u have not then don't be an @&& to those who fight in wars. they put their lives on the line for their counties.
@SkylerStrom1 Yes, i only have sympathy for the ones that got drafted unwillingly. The ones that wanted to go there with the idea that they are ''defending peoples freedoms'' i have no respect for and i think that they are so delusional to the red white and blue bullshit that they decided to risk their only life for such a meaningless and hurtful cause.
@dchains I have a question for you: where do your rights come from? and, what guarantees your right to free speech and the ability to say what you want when you want to? answer those questions and I'll have something for you that will completely disprove your last statement and could change your opinions on soldiers.....
@uhscoyotes07 They certainly don't come from men going to other chunks of land to kill other humans. Our rights according to this society come from the outdated document signed by slave owners. When in reality is actually possible to for people to have ''rights'' without a document written in the 1700's.
Nothing should ''guarantee rights'' to human beings, you'd think naturally humans would allow others to speak their minds, but it's control and power we give to certain people that hurt others.
@dchains The Declaration of Independence referred to the inalienable rights that all people have, but in an imperfect world (not debatable) where, as you say, men want more and more power (that's human nature), then it is necessary for a government to ensure the protection of those unalienable rights (as well as other livelihoods of the society they serve) with the use of force, via Armed Forces. Whether you agree with US policy or not, the soldier does protect the Constitution and Americans.
@uhscoyotes07 There is no such thing as human nature, everybody sees the world through their own filter based on their environment, no one is born inherently greedy or violent it's all learned. You're assuming that if humans are naturally like that you need to have armies, but again, what does that solve? the ideology still moves on. You can murder all the ''evil'' humans, but how does that get to the source of the problem?
@dchains You're saying there is NO human nature? wow! This argument is over because almost every notable scholar & respected doctorate (& even Nobel laureates) on human thought processes & psychology argue on the varying aspects of human nature. W/out getting into their differences, there's 1 agreement among them: a human nature. Unless you have some sort of intellect beyond all others who have thought about for years, then your opinion is just an opinion, unbacked by any evidence whatsoever.
@uhscoyotes07 Degrees are irrelevant, how have they come to that conclusion?. And my statement is in fact backed by evidence, just look around. The human mind has a nature way of responding to outcomes, since everybody learns through environment the affect they have on society will vary based on that. It is not human nature to kill or steal, but to some it comes naturally through experience. There is no such thing as right or wrong either because it's a varying opinion.
@dchains So you believe that there are NO absolute truths? If there is no right or wrong, then how can you or anybody justify what they do? And yes, although the environment does play a part in perpetuating or minimizing actions and/or thought development, people have a human nature. There have been countless tests like seeing what the general interests/likes people have (like twins) put in completely different environments and yet they are still prone to the same activities.
@uhscoyotes07 People base what is right or wrong based on environmental factors, people in street gangs think killing is ok based on environment, human nature is non-existent, everything is learned along the way whether it be good or bad. People have different interpretations on what is good or bad, a good example of this is even our conversation right now, we see things from a different perspective based on what we consider right or wrong.
@dchains and again to refute your rationale, 'maintaining my assumption that men are naturally greedy and violent', having armies keeps the others at bay. If there are 'greedy/violent' men out there (in formed paramilitaristic fashion) then it is necessary to maintain a standing military to 'guard the gate'. Also, there's logically no such thing as murder to evil, as it is serving justice upon those who would/will/have seek/sought death and destruction to our lives and livelihoods.
@uhscoyotes07 Armies are a quick fix for a bigger problem, we need to teach every solider to be critical thinkers and not killing machines. Armies try to fix what we consider an immediate problem, but it doesn't stop the ideology that lies at the problem, armies do not get to the root of why the issue exists and instead trys to patch it up with killing other humans and Innocent civilians. If someone wanted to kill me, then the goal isn't to put bigger locks on my door, it's to find out why.
@dchains But you're going to tell me that in a small environment where say for example 10 people are in a place where there is only enough food for 2, that each and every one of them would NOT do everything they could to ensure their needs were met? If they don't eat it, they will die. The human nature in everyone is for self survival and don't use the 'that's an extreme case' argument, because it is in extreme situations like that where human nature shows itself best.
@uhscoyotes07 You're still assuming that people are naturally greedy and selfish which is the problem. The situation you presented is also under detailed, if such a situation wold arise it would depend on a TON of factors that would contribute whether or not they would fight over food or not. To assume that they would fight automatically isn't something to go off of.
@dchains actually its quite simple, Eat or Die. that's all there is to it. the basic necessities of people will override anything the environment says and when push comes to shove, people will always put their own survival over the welfare of others. also, you mentioned 'everything is learned along the way whether it be good or bad'. What makes them good or bad? you yourself said that right and wrong is subjective. also, you don't think that Evil exists in the world?
@uhscoyotes07 That's correct right and wrong are subjective, i never mentioned they weren't, only that they are learned and that to some what's considered wrong by the majority can be considered right for others, like neo nazis for example. Right and wrong is a matter of interpretation of environment.
Does evil exist in the world? from my own personal view yes. But not because they're naturally evil, it's because the source of the anger derives from elsewhere and that's what needs to be fixed.
@dchains and by the way, soldiers are critical thinkers. You know what kind of physical, mental and emotional problems present themselves in the field? Well I do, I've been there, and I can tell you that we are critical thinkers. If we weren't, then we would ALL be Dead. Also, I guarantee you that without our armed forces, we would be overrun by other militaries, and others who want us dead or dying for whatever reasons they have (religious, moral or otherwise). So our nation does NEED our Army!
@uhscoyotes07 I mean that they aren't problems solvers, they should learn how to make our lives better by learning technical skills. As our problems are not solved within their line of work, they only progress problems.
And as i said before, ALL military's are useless, they don't fix the underlying reasons for such hate and destruction, so we ignorantly patch it up with violence and then brainwash ourselves that we're doing it in the name of ''freedom'' and ''democracy''.
@dchains and you do realize that the only reason we are even able to speak freely is because of the security provided by our US Armed Forces right? because there are numerous peoples and groups out there who would love to take it away from us. Freedom does NOT come free because without those to 'stand guard' as they say, we don't have it. It may be paradoxical, but militaries are necessary because you can 'Pray for Peace, but Prepare for War'....
@uhscoyotes07 I have heard that illogical statement many times, that the troops killing other humans are ''allowing us to speak freely''. I don't see the logic in that argument, because you're saying that some how militaries are justified because you refuse to get to the issues source. You're justifying violent acts on others because you're thinking it solves the problem, but as i said before, killing gets you know where if the ideology still lives on.
@dchains because what's to stop another terrorist attack on our nation? oh yeah, that's right, the US military! and if you don't believe in the "brainwashing" of 'freedom and democracy', then why do you want to live here? I'd love to hear where our inalienable rights come from since you think that militaries are so bad and that the Constitution is some centuries old document that has nothing to do with our society today....
@uhscoyotes07 But see you're not seeing the bigger picture, since you're assuming bad people have to exist to murder us you then think that armies are justified. When in reality armies don't get to the source of why these things occur, they just wait till the next guy that hates us to come along so we can deal with them through more violence.
And i live here because i was born here by random chance. I never said the Constitution has nothing to do with society im saying it's a pointless document
@dchains But in this imperfect world, that pointless document, the Constitution, is necessary to legally ensure our freedoms and inalienable rights because in this imperfect world, people would NOT naturally grant or honor these rights if there was not some law or 'pointless document' to justify it. because people are imperfect, the Constitution is absolutely necessary and is one of the most profound documents in World History.
@uhscoyotes07 But you still don't understand, it's a pointless document in the aspects that it's only made important because it's supposed to grant people rights. If you believe in ''true freedom'', why would you support the constitution at all?, it limits more then anything else. In a ''truly free'' society, no one has to tell you you're free..
Laws exist because of men not knowing how to deal with problems.
@dchains & 'bad people' exist & always will exist in this world. Even if militaries were the problem, conflict would still arise among people, either in local areas or across cultures and societies, conflict has existed in the world since the beginning of time & will continue to exist until the end. There's no way around that inevitable truth. Thus, to protect yourselves from others who would take from you (since it's an imperfect world constructed by imperfect people), militaries are necessary.
@uhscoyotes07 Yes, to everybody bad people exist because individuals exist that conflict with their own views of the world. Problems may occurs, but the goal is to get beyond that with logic and reasoning. Everybody fights each other because we make up reasons to. Armies are a cop out answer to what the world considers problems, no one would need to protect themselves if the ideologies didn't exist, wars will never stop until you decide to face the real problems. And all it takes is a mind.
@dchains and what are the real problems then? also, I take it you are either an agnostic or atheist based on what I've read from you. am I correct in that surmise?
@uhscoyotes07 Yes i'm Atheist, i'm very happy to be free from the ridiculous shackles of Religion. And Religion is actually one of the big problems that sticks out, anything that clings to bronze age superstitions does nothing to help society. Are main problems are technical, not political, politics was great 100 years ago, now it's all obsolete. If all nations came together and recognized the world as a common heritage, it would be the beginning of a civilized age.
@dchains I agree all that is needed for world peace is for people to use thier minds. However what some people call good and peace varies an awful lot. One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter, something us brits learned the hard way with the IRA. some times heads need banging together to knock some sense into them so they will sit at a negotiation table. Karl Marx called religon the opiate of the masses and I hold with that. Yet faith is a gift. peace will start from respect for all
@dchains and unfortunately not everyone will use reasoning and logic to solve problems, but even that is only good to a point. when facing a religion, logical reasoning falls by the wayside and some times the only things that can explain the unexplainable are the unexplainable....
@dchains Also, people are naturally self serving because if you remove the safety & security of what we have here (especially since we usually take it for granted all the time), then people will become much less pleasant & will display much more severe behavior when attempting to survive, both with food & shelter. When it comes down to it, people will choose themselves over others. Soldiers and families are no different, except that it would take more to divide them because of sociological ties.
@dchains and on another note, the 'outdated document signed by slave owners' aka the Constitution has endured the test of time of over 224 years!! That's unheard of in World History. Compare it to any other 'document' concerning government in world history and you won't find another like it. It was written that way for a reason. Just because a society changes (the slavery issue), doesn't mean that the Constitution changes when guiding governing principles.
@dchains & finally, when you say "you'd think naturally humans would allow others to speak their minds", you're assuming a Lockeian point of view that all men are good-natured when it comes to interpersonal relationships. In this case, Hobbes is correct: it's an imperfect world where men are naturally self serving & it is necessary for a document to exist guaranteeing rights to its citizens and their lives from those in the world who would like to end it and take power. The soldier defends that.
@Rhinousa34 Absolutely brother ive been here in afghanistan for 8 months getting ready to come but i wouldnt mind having one of these assholes who talks shit but has never been over here come here and make the same sacrifices we do
@Rhinousa34 I compleley agree with you mate. Conragtualtions on the baby. I hope you made it home. At the moron stop being a consiricy nut and be a realist. Come over here and do our job then I might listen to your whingebag noise. The few, the gallant, the proud , the best Her Majesties Armed forces.
@911insidejob81 The so called occupation of Afghanistan is backed by NATO. It's not just the U.S. It hasn't fallen under UN or NATO criticisms in terms of violation of UN laws.
Forget about America, GOd bless his people. People have fought and died being spirtualy blind without the Lord for freedoms and rights that put us at odds with GOD. People need Jesus Christ to be saved and have peace with Jehova. SAVE A LIFE AND READ THE GOSPEL.

Wouldn't you be better singing this?...."If tomorrow all the things had gone, that I'd worked for all my life; there was semen on my back and hair and a dog inside my wife; 3 ladyboys with cocks in hands were asking for their pay; I'd clear my throat and be pleased to sayyyyyyyyyyyy...I'm from the USA!"
Simon wouldn't dare say anything but nice things, he is in a room full of Americans. Just goes to show that dickheads like him are really self conscious, and thier opinions are garbage, since there is no personal conviction.
God bless the USA, is a love story for a country that is changing from its origins to that less free. However, that flag stood for freedom in the minds (most of them) throughout history fought for it. Knowingly or not all the details. In the hearts and minds of people who love the american idea. God bless the usa!
MOTOUSMC - She sang it according to how it affects her. She does not have children or wives, but service men do, and her father does. She has sang it that way since she was 16 years old. Obviously you hoped for something else. Too Bad you did not get to enjoy a gift to the service men like yourself because you are so critical you read into it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Why the hell did she change the words? "If tomorrow all the things were gone YOU worked for all your life"? No... it's I. Don't try to sell the song to the judges, goddamn sellout.
It was so that she wouldn't have to say the words "And I had to start again with just my children and my wife". because obviously... she doesn't have children or a wife.
Because, if you would get your out of your ass and listen, after that line, it traditionally goes "And I had to start again with just my children and my WIFE". it sounds much better for her to say "and you had to start again with just your children&your wife" rather than changing it to "with my children and my husband"

sweden, america has a baaad reputation around the world. really doesnt seem like a country to be proud of. it sucks, poverty and a totally segregated society. to bad but it's a fact
talk about sterotypes. Amercica does have a bad reputation; thats the only correct thing you said. Poverty? Where I'm pretty sure the USA has the highest average per/capita income in the world. There is poverty, but less than you'll find in any other country of the world. As for segregated? what. We are probably the most united group of people you could ever find. We have no issues with segregation. I don't know where you get your information from, but you should switch to a new source.

uhscoyotes07 6 months ago
@uhscoyotes07 They certainly don't come from men going to other chunks of land to kill other humans. Our rights according to this society come from the outdated document signed by slave owners. When in reality is actually possible to for people to have ''rights'' without a document written in the 1700's.
Nothing should ''guarantee rights'' to human beings, you'd think naturally humans would allow others to speak their minds, but it's control and power we give to certain people that hurt others.
dchains 6 months ago
@dchains The Declaration of Independence referred to the inalienable rights that all people have, but in an imperfect world (not debatable) where, as you say, men want more and more power (that's human nature), then it is necessary for a government to ensure the protection of those unalienable rights (as well as other livelihoods of the society they serve) with the use of force, via Armed Forces. Whether you agree with US policy or not, the soldier does protect the Constitution and Americans.
uhscoyotes07 6 months ago
@uhscoyotes07 There is no such thing as human nature, everybody sees the world through their own filter based on their environment, no one is born inherently greedy or violent it's all learned. You're assuming that if humans are naturally like that you need to have armies, but again, what does that solve? the ideology still moves on. You can murder all the ''evil'' humans, but how does that get to the source of the problem?
dchains 6 months ago
@dchains You're saying there is NO human nature? wow! This argument is over because almost every notable scholar & respected doctorate (& even Nobel laureates) on human thought processes & psychology argue on the varying aspects of human nature. W/out getting into their differences, there's 1 agreement among them: a human nature. Unless you have some sort of intellect beyond all others who have thought about for years, then your opinion is just an opinion, unbacked by any evidence whatsoever.
uhscoyotes07 6 months ago
@uhscoyotes07 Degrees are irrelevant, how have they come to that conclusion?. And my statement is in fact backed by evidence, just look around. The human mind has a nature way of responding to outcomes, since everybody learns through environment the affect they have on society will vary based on that. It is not human nature to kill or steal, but to some it comes naturally through experience. There is no such thing as right or wrong either because it's a varying opinion.
dchains 6 months ago
@dchains So you believe that there are NO absolute truths? If there is no right or wrong, then how can you or anybody justify what they do? And yes, although the environment does play a part in perpetuating or minimizing actions and/or thought development, people have a human nature. There have been countless tests like seeing what the general interests/likes people have (like twins) put in completely different environments and yet they are still prone to the same activities.
uhscoyotes07 6 months ago
@uhscoyotes07 People base what is right or wrong based on environmental factors, people in street gangs think killing is ok based on environment, human nature is non-existent, everything is learned along the way whether it be good or bad. People have different interpretations on what is good or bad, a good example of this is even our conversation right now, we see things from a different perspective based on what we consider right or wrong.
dchains 6 months ago
@dchains and again to refute your rationale, 'maintaining my assumption that men are naturally greedy and violent', having armies keeps the others at bay. If there are 'greedy/violent' men out there (in formed paramilitaristic fashion) then it is necessary to maintain a standing military to 'guard the gate'. Also, there's logically no such thing as murder to evil, as it is serving justice upon those who would/will/have seek/sought death and destruction to our lives and livelihoods.
uhscoyotes07 6 months ago
@uhscoyotes07 Armies are a quick fix for a bigger problem, we need to teach every solider to be critical thinkers and not killing machines. Armies try to fix what we consider an immediate problem, but it doesn't stop the ideology that lies at the problem, armies do not get to the root of why the issue exists and instead trys to patch it up with killing other humans and Innocent civilians. If someone wanted to kill me, then the goal isn't to put bigger locks on my door, it's to find out why.
dchains 6 months ago
@dchains But you're going to tell me that in a small environment where say for example 10 people are in a place where there is only enough food for 2, that each and every one of them would NOT do everything they could to ensure their needs were met? If they don't eat it, they will die. The human nature in everyone is for self survival and don't use the 'that's an extreme case' argument, because it is in extreme situations like that where human nature shows itself best.
uhscoyotes07 6 months ago
@uhscoyotes07 You're still assuming that people are naturally greedy and selfish which is the problem. The situation you presented is also under detailed, if such a situation wold arise it would depend on a TON of factors that would contribute whether or not they would fight over food or not. To assume that they would fight automatically isn't something to go off of.
dchains 6 months ago
@dchains actually its quite simple, Eat or Die. that's all there is to it. the basic necessities of people will override anything the environment says and when push comes to shove, people will always put their own survival over the welfare of others. also, you mentioned 'everything is learned along the way whether it be good or bad'. What makes them good or bad? you yourself said that right and wrong is subjective. also, you don't think that Evil exists in the world?
uhscoyotes07 6 months ago
@uhscoyotes07 That's correct right and wrong are subjective, i never mentioned they weren't, only that they are learned and that to some what's considered wrong by the majority can be considered right for others, like neo nazis for example. Right and wrong is a matter of interpretation of environment.
Does evil exist in the world? from my own personal view yes. But not because they're naturally evil, it's because the source of the anger derives from elsewhere and that's what needs to be fixed.
dchains 6 months ago
@dchains and by the way, soldiers are critical thinkers. You know what kind of physical, mental and emotional problems present themselves in the field? Well I do, I've been there, and I can tell you that we are critical thinkers. If we weren't, then we would ALL be Dead. Also, I guarantee you that without our armed forces, we would be overrun by other militaries, and others who want us dead or dying for whatever reasons they have (religious, moral or otherwise). So our nation does NEED our Army!
uhscoyotes07 6 months ago
@uhscoyotes07 I mean that they aren't problems solvers, they should learn how to make our lives better by learning technical skills. As our problems are not solved within their line of work, they only progress problems.
And as i said before, ALL military's are useless, they don't fix the underlying reasons for such hate and destruction, so we ignorantly patch it up with violence and then brainwash ourselves that we're doing it in the name of ''freedom'' and ''democracy''.
dchains 6 months ago
@dchains and you do realize that the only reason we are even able to speak freely is because of the security provided by our US Armed Forces right? because there are numerous peoples and groups out there who would love to take it away from us. Freedom does NOT come free because without those to 'stand guard' as they say, we don't have it. It may be paradoxical, but militaries are necessary because you can 'Pray for Peace, but Prepare for War'....
uhscoyotes07 6 months ago
@uhscoyotes07 I have heard that illogical statement many times, that the troops killing other humans are ''allowing us to speak freely''. I don't see the logic in that argument, because you're saying that some how militaries are justified because you refuse to get to the issues source. You're justifying violent acts on others because you're thinking it solves the problem, but as i said before, killing gets you know where if the ideology still lives on.
dchains 6 months ago
@dchains because what's to stop another terrorist attack on our nation? oh yeah, that's right, the US military! and if you don't believe in the "brainwashing" of 'freedom and democracy', then why do you want to live here? I'd love to hear where our inalienable rights come from since you think that militaries are so bad and that the Constitution is some centuries old document that has nothing to do with our society today....
uhscoyotes07 6 months ago
@uhscoyotes07 But see you're not seeing the bigger picture, since you're assuming bad people have to exist to murder us you then think that armies are justified. When in reality armies don't get to the source of why these things occur, they just wait till the next guy that hates us to come along so we can deal with them through more violence.
And i live here because i was born here by random chance. I never said the Constitution has nothing to do with society im saying it's a pointless document
dchains 6 months ago
@dchains But in this imperfect world, that pointless document, the Constitution, is necessary to legally ensure our freedoms and inalienable rights because in this imperfect world, people would NOT naturally grant or honor these rights if there was not some law or 'pointless document' to justify it. because people are imperfect, the Constitution is absolutely necessary and is one of the most profound documents in World History.
uhscoyotes07 6 months ago
@uhscoyotes07 But you still don't understand, it's a pointless document in the aspects that it's only made important because it's supposed to grant people rights. If you believe in ''true freedom'', why would you support the constitution at all?, it limits more then anything else. In a ''truly free'' society, no one has to tell you you're free..
Laws exist because of men not knowing how to deal with problems.
dchains 6 months ago
@dchains & 'bad people' exist & always will exist in this world. Even if militaries were the problem, conflict would still arise among people, either in local areas or across cultures and societies, conflict has existed in the world since the beginning of time & will continue to exist until the end. There's no way around that inevitable truth. Thus, to protect yourselves from others who would take from you (since it's an imperfect world constructed by imperfect people), militaries are necessary.
uhscoyotes07 6 months ago
@uhscoyotes07 Yes, to everybody bad people exist because individuals exist that conflict with their own views of the world. Problems may occurs, but the goal is to get beyond that with logic and reasoning. Everybody fights each other because we make up reasons to. Armies are a cop out answer to what the world considers problems, no one would need to protect themselves if the ideologies didn't exist, wars will never stop until you decide to face the real problems. And all it takes is a mind.

@uhscoyotes07 Yes i'm Atheist, i'm very happy to be free from the ridiculous shackles of Religion. And Religion is actually one of the big problems that sticks out, anything that clings to bronze age superstitions does nothing to help society. Are main problems are technical, not political, politics was great 100 years ago, now it's all obsolete. If all nations came together and recognized the world as a common heritage, it would be the beginning of a civilized age.
dchains 6 months ago
@dchains I agree all that is needed for world peace is for people to use thier minds. However what some people call good and peace varies an awful lot. One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter, something us brits learned the hard way with the IRA. some times heads need banging together to knock some sense into them so they will sit at a negotiation table. Karl Marx called religon the opiate of the masses and I hold with that. Yet faith is a gift. peace will start from respect for all
alwayshisgirl815 3 months ago

@uhscoyotes07 That's why naturally everybody deserves to be educated for free, it inherently helps the world achieve so much.
dchains 6 months ago
@dchains Also, people are naturally self serving because if you remove the safety & security of what we have here (especially since we usually take it for granted all the time), then people will become much less pleasant & will display much more severe behavior when attempting to survive, both with food & shelter. When it comes down to it, people will choose themselves over others. Soldiers and families are no different, except that it would take more to divide them because of sociological ties.
uhscoyotes07 6 months ago
@dchains and on another note, the 'outdated document signed by slave owners' aka the Constitution has endured the test of time of over 224 years!! That's unheard of in World History. Compare it to any other 'document' concerning government in world history and you won't find another like it. It was written that way for a reason. Just because a society changes (the slavery issue), doesn't mean that the Constitution changes when guiding governing principles.
uhscoyotes07 6 months ago
@dchains & finally, when you say "you'd think naturally humans would allow others to speak their minds", you're assuming a Lockeian point of view that all men are good-natured when it comes to interpersonal relationships. In this case, Hobbes is correct: it's an imperfect world where men are naturally self serving & it is necessary for a document to exist guaranteeing rights to its citizens and their lives from those in the world who would like to end it and take power. The soldier defends that.

Why the hell did she change the words? "If tomorrow all the things were gone YOU worked for all your life"? No... it's I. Don't try to sell the song to the judges, goddamn sellout.

It was so that she wouldn't have to say the words "And I had to start again with just my children and my wife". because obviously... she doesn't have children or a wife.

Because, if you would get your out of your ass and listen, after that line, it traditionally goes "And I had to start again with just my children and my WIFE". it sounds much better for her to say "and you had to start again with just your children&your wife" rather than changing it to "with my children and my husband"
get it?

i love this song :)
And Im proud to be an American,
where at least I know Im free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today. Cause there aint no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA

And I'll gladly stand up, next you and not think for myself.
The patriot act is good, the constitution sucks.
Jet fuel can burn hot enough to create molten steel.
Jet fuel can cause buildings to fall at free fall speeds.
911 was a tragic day
Even more tragic then that is the true perpatraitors got away with it, while the sheeple sing 'Beasts of England' oohh wait sorry, God Bless the USA.

sweden, america has a baaad reputation around the world. really doesnt seem like a country to be proud of. it sucks, poverty and a totally segregated society. to bad but it's a fact
Nephalen 2 years ago
talk about sterotypes. Amercica does have a bad reputation; thats the only correct thing you said. Poverty? Where I'm pretty sure the USA has the highest average per/capita income in the world. There is poverty, but less than you'll find in any other country of the world. As for segregated? what. We are probably the most united group of people you could ever find. We have no issues with segregation. I don't know where you get your information from, but you should switch to a new source.

Thank you very much, have you seen zeitgeist? If not i recommend it casuse It's very interesting (but of course be critical to the whole thing cause you shouldnt believe what everyone says)

@Nephalen what do u mean i shouldn't believe whateveryone says
SkylerStrom1 7 months ago
@SkylerStrom1 Sorry I am from Sweden you know...
Just saying you can't just believe everything everyone tells you, zeitgeist only shows one side of the story.
It might be the truth but i think there is more to it
