  • Brilliant journalism

  • Why does everyone here think in terms of "us verses them." You must transcend your paradigms and think of people as individuals rather than parts of a collectivist whole. I don't take pride in being an American, I take pride in what I have done as an individual.

    Don't be so arrogant as to believe yourself better because of your nationality or religion. In God's eyes the location of your homeland means nothing, but your individual actions are everything.

  • america was stolen by the thieves long ago. You all are just too pathetic to see it. All they have to do is run beer commercials and have football games and you will never know it. Did you know the war on terror was planned in the 70's. It's a sham. but you cattle deserve what you get.
