@drystyx: "Greatest achievements in film directing"...I know what you mean - most film critics won't mention the opening tracking shot of Touch of Evil, the chariot race in Ben Hur, the Odessa steps sequence from Battleship Potemkin, all of Metropolis, all of The Fall, all of Jeunet's magical Amelie, or Robert Altman's exquisitely nuanced choreography of Gosford Park without immediately dismissing them in favor of the dam-bursting sequence in Invasion USA. Starring two Lois Lanes.

The 50's were great if you were white and middle-class.

@JohnnyC133 Now, America is hated because of things like what my mom experienced. This is happening everywhere and it's a result of Americans blindly pouring all their support into their military, a sentiment that's espoused by the white-driven society of America. Most white Americans ignorantly "support the troops" without realizing the ramifications for second and third-world peoples. Also Corporate America, which is almost entirely run by whites, uses child sweatshops extensively.

@JohnnyC133 Nazis were white, they believed in white power. They still exist today in splinter groups. Whites lived as slaves for blacks? I've never heard of such a thing. I just know of the history of whites raping blacks, whites bringing blacks over in slave ships, whites continuing to live happily while every other minority in America struggled as a result of oppression by whites. It doesn't matter if all republicans are anti-gay because all the ELECTED republicans are anti-gay.

@JohnnyC133 I don't know what makes the Democratic party the "party of slavery and segregation". I should let you know I'm not even a citizen of the United States. I live in Canada and I'm just a voyeur. I don't know much about the Taliban, maybe they are just a bunch of religious zealots but the reason I give them the benefit of the doubt is because my mom is a refugee from El Salvador and she saw the atrocities committed by American troops on her home and people.

@PsychoJosh But, I'm done now. This disccusion is going no where. Suffice it to say neither of us is going to change each others' minds. People can blame others for the suffering til the cows come home or they can move on from the past and make the best of present. Getting bogged down in playing the race card just means continued racial segregation til the end of time.

I hope you one day learn this lesson.

@PsychoJosh America is hated because she is the world's only superpower and constantly has to play world-police in lieu of the UN.

Jews, latinos, and blacks hate whites because of white oppresion? Whites were oppressed by arabs, whites have lived as slaves for blacks, and Jews suffered at the hands of the Nazis and individuals groups, not whites. Every race has suffered at one point or another.

[JohnnyC133]

@PsychoJosh Of course gays and lesbians should be free to live their lifestyle. But that doesn't mean people have to be ok with it. First Amendment rights apply to everyone, straight and gay.

So every white Republican is anti-gay? Again, racist statement. Individuals are anti-gay not whole groups!

As for religious stigma about gays if you think the U.S. is bad I would ask you to visit the Middle East and try to argue for equal rights for gays. Then you'll see true homophobia.

[PsychoJosh]

@JohnnyC133 You need to realize that people don't just hate white people blindly. It's a sentiment shared by nearly every minority because in their history they have been oppressed by the white man in some way. Jews, latinos and blacks all have a tumultuous history with the white race. The entire world hates America, they hate its white-driven culture and have valid reasons to do so. Most conglomerates which employ third world sweatshops are run in America.

[PsychoJosh]

@JohnnyC133 What I'm saying in regards to the segregation of lesbians/gays is that white people SHOULDN'T be doing it. In a land of plenty founded on the tenets of freedom they should be able to freely enjoy themselves but face heavy discrimination by idiots like Rick Perry and their legion of supporters. If North America had better education then they should be free of religious stigmas but this isn't the case thanks in large part to the actions of Republican whites.

[JohnnyC133]

@PsychoJosh The Taliban are in Afghanistan. Prior to 9/11, there were no American forces in Afghanistan! In fact, the Taliban owed their existance to the U.S. because of our assistance to them while they fought the Soviets in 1970 and 80s!

You don't see many black or latino Republicans because apparently you aren't looking for them. The Democratic Party, the party of slavery and segregation, have convinced minorities they're somehow better. Irony at it's horrific best.

[PsychoJosh]

@JohnnyC133 The war in Iraq has been going on for much longer than before September 11th and in fact the attacks on 9/11 were a RETALIATION by the Taliban for Americans occupying their homelands in search of oil. All American military occupations are supported by republicans which almost entirely consist of white people. I don't see many black or latino republicans, they exist but their numbers are small enough to be considered negligible, and there's a reason for that.
