Laugh it up. It's great sport to make fun of America.....until you need us.

Haters hate because they jealous.

I'd be extremely jealous too, were I to be stuck in a stinky country where people still crap in public like animals:

http://anuglyhead.blogspot.com/2012/05/great-indian-pooping.html

http://www.healthissuesindia.com/poor-sanitation/

I'm glad to be part of country where threat of walking on poop exists rather then being shot by psychotic people. Country of mental people!
You dream about freedom, we exercise it on daily basis. LOLz!

I can come with as many as you can about my country. That was not point of discussion in thread.

Freedom is requires accepting its concomitant dangers/price of eternal vigilance and eschewing the supposed safety of slave societies where the people are not allowed to exercise their natural right of armed self defense.

The real problem with walking on poop isn't just that it's disgusting and reflects a primitive backwards culture.

The danger of poop (and rats) everywhere is that such a lack of sanitation spreads disease.

Most people in both America and India are ignorant of esoteric topics like "their Financial System."

The difference is that Americans can afford such a luxury, along with safe drinking water, clean air, indoor plumbing, etc.

OTOH India will be stuck in the middle ages until it goes through a phase of free market capital accumulation like America did from ~200 to ~100 years ago.

I'm sure you will coming running to America for help (again) when China decides to reclaim Arunachal Pradesh and kicks your asses at the Line of Control (again):

Why is it such a knee jerk reaction for people in other countries to trash America?  I mean when did we become the poster child for everything wrong in the world but everyone gives a pass to the really terrible countries!?!  Even better is when they overlook the obvious problems in their own country to trash talk us.  Take the log out of your own eye before pointing out the speck in mine.

We're actively working on free market mechanism. But, I believe, education and liberalization must progress hand in hand. Nationless currency is disturbing balance of such progress. And as far as free market philosophy is concern, America has learned it hard way in 2008 that state managed capitalism is better than Washington consensus of free trade. Wait and watch how effective your learning is!

We wish to grow with peace not like other countries thriving on war economy. If we wanted to grow being parasite on other countries then, India would have shined 10,000 years ago.

Of Course, we'll come to you because you proclaim yourself as leader and peace-maker of world. And fact is, you failed every time to keep peace. I know what I'm about to say is irrelevant, but I remember watching show on RT few years back when Obama became president. It shown all american president and their promises. In short, promise was to keep "peace in world" and thereafter they displayed all wars President made. Then they asked question, Will Obama break this legacy? I was so happy to see it and I believe he surely would. I was such a naive. Now, I've my answer when I've better understanding international politics.

He might have written or asked for help. I don't doubt is, knowing we were weak and we are weak country. So, next question comes, how did John F. Kennedy respond to such request?

Call this a social thought experiment, rather than an analogy...

Teacher walks into class one morning, and says to the kids. "I really can't be bothered yelling at you any more, do whatever the hell you want"

It does not take genius level intellect to infer that it will be a virtual riot in a very short time.

Thus when western nations promise to stay out of the rest of the world's business, the fear of reprisal for being assholes to their neighbors is removed. Maybe they should have periods to "get it out of of their system" but blaming the west for intervening or not intervening is beside the point.

Define Ignorant.

That is trickier than it sounds as there are many facets, layers and complexities to the American financial system or any modern financial system for that matter.  How it runs, how it is run, the factors behind it, the factors influencing it.

It is almost impossible to really 'understand' the financial system thoroughly so I'm going to hazard a guess and say that most people are far more ignorant of the machinations of their financial system than they would like to believe and I'm going to include myself in that, along with most of the rest of the people sucking air right now.

Are Americans 'more' ignorant?  Who knows.  I've met some serious morons and I've met some extremely smart folks along the way here in the US of A, and I imagine that's the truth of it in most places....

You can tell how JFK responded by simply observing the fact that Arunachal Pradesh is still part of India, and not Chinese territory.

"Might have asked?"  Nehru definitely asked for help, several times actually.  Do you not have Google in your dung hut?  The cowardly use of the "might have" hedge phrase demonstrates your aversion to historical facts which conflict with your personal and national prejudices.

It is beyond dispute that India was getting it's butt kicked by the Chinese, and ran to the US for help despite being "non-aligned."

Quote

As Indian defenses crumbled in the face of the Chinese assault, Prime Minister Nehru sent two highly sensitive and remarkable letters to President Kennedy.


http://historyinpieces.com/nehru-jfk-sino-indian-war


On October 20, 1962, China launched a massive offensive at several points along the NEFA border and to the west in the Ladakh area of north-east Kashmir. The offensive caught the Indian government by surprise. Caught flat-footed, the Indian military forces suffered a series of local defeats and were driven back from their forward positions.

India was reeling. It had become obvious that they had no answer to China’s offensive. As the U.S. Ambassador to India, John Kenneth Galbraith, put it, the Indian government “is currently in disarray.” From the Indian perspective, it was a war going badly.

The Indian Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, had written to Kennedy several times before.

But on November 19, 1962, he sent two letters, one shortly after the other, that went far beyond previous requests for help.

Asking for help was not something that was easy for Nehru to do. For one thing, India was a leader of the non-aligned movement. As such, it had assiduously avoided getting drawn overtly into either the Western or Soviet orbit of the Cold War. For another, there was the matter of personal pride.

Now please, continue to be an ingrate and heap scorn on the nation which came to your country's aid in its hour of need.

It's OK, we're used to it!   Smiley

As soon as we make it safe, you start talking shit about how awful the warlike Americans are.

Maybe next time we should leave your troops to freeze or die from Chinese bullets on the McMahon line?

Nah, then we'd be no better than your nasty caste based society of superstitious monkeys...

http://www.rediff.com/news/special/the-untold-story-how-the-us-came-to-indias-aid-in-1962/20121204.htm

During the 1962 border conflict, it was the US that came to India's rescue and there were plans to send the USS Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier to the Bay of Bengal to support India against a possible Chinese invasion.

Many of my generation remember vividly how then American President John F Kennedy had become one of the most popular figures in India -- so much so that most paan shops, (the true barometer of public opinion in India) routinely had Kennedy's photograph alongside the familiar one of Jawaharlal Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi.

The prompt and generous American response to Indian needs at the time of military reverses against the Chinese in October/November 1962, had a deep impact on the Indian psyche.

When the Indian situation became particularly desperate, US Air Force squadrons in the Philippines were alerted; through its contacts in Warsaw, the US conveyed its resolve to the Chinese to come to India's assistance.

C-130 Hercules aircraft carried out drops of arms and ammunition supplies as well as essential clothing to Indian soldiers on the battlefront.

The Chinese declared a 'unilateral cease-fire' on November 21, 1962 and announced that it would withdraw from captured territory of Arunachal Pradesh.

Nehru's handling of the crisis and panic reactions were in marked contrast to the cool and confident Kennedy. The generous and prompt response by JFK made him an icon in India.

We Americans see the pattern here.  We use our nasty brutish guns to rescue some backwards country where the citizens peasants are unarmed domesticated cattle, then afterwards they either forget or resent the people who saved them.

If the Indian gov't and culture respected/protected the right to keep and bear arms, China wouldn't be able to invade and push you guys around like so many helpless chickens.  Enjoy your smug, unearned sense of superiority!

While some the residents started using the newly built toilets, majority continued to practice their age old tradition by sitting right outside the toilet and defecating, sometimes accompanied by domestic animals. The dog and the master pooped together and that my friend is the equality we were unceasingly searching for.

Don't pat yourself on the back or feel superior to Americans just because of their ignorance.

There are ignorant people all over the world.


I am in England and i have to agree with you, most nations do not understand individually, its a plan for the world, as daddy bush said a plan for a 'New world order' they are ignorant and you are not?

Then maybe you should put your energy into helping them understand as you are clearly aware of the scam, it's nice to help
