Ian't lovely to see a bald eagle flying free like this.

[Helaku]

@Silverhazed Agreed

[MiiszUniquexX]

@Silverhazed Yeah... I didn't ask you if you were bothered and I didn't ask you what study. The bald eagle represents USA & my comment is relevant to it. It doesn't take Einstein to connect the relevance between the video and my comment.

[Silverhazed]

@lfi18593 "behind the scenes" it's in the title.

[Silverhazed]

@MiiszUniquexX Well actually the real reason why im bothered is because i study sociology and people like you just leave me with a big WTF. Trying to discover your logic , or lack of it.

[Silverhazed]

@MiiszUniquexX You are probably right but still, why would you relate something as pure and beautiful as this bird to that rotten corrupted country ? It just leaves me speechless. You're just trying to check america's popularity ... for some reason you need reassurance that America is loved. 75 % of the world hates USA , learn to live with it.

[MiiszUniquexX]

@Silverhazed its something called... mind ur own business and just skip the comment if it bothers you so much.

[Silverhazed]

@MiiszUniquexX What does it have to do with this nature documentary ? Stop relating everything to global politics :S.
