After asking a question about saying thank you to the USA on this site why are people ignorant to the truth?

Thank you, its nice to know not everyone is against the US because it sure feels like it sometimes.

I agree that America has played a part in the shaping of the world, but.... They did not stand up to Nazism at the start when Hitler invaded Poland, it was not until the end of the war when they decided to help and that was only because they had been attacked. Had America not been bombed then it would be a totally different situation, they did not care about other countries and people until they were threatened.

This has always been the case, they do not prevent they react, unless there is some kind of impact on America either physical or financial they are not interested.

Just sit down quietly for a moment and think about this.

How do you KNOW that you're in the majority? The fact that most answers are from people who disagree with you is evidence to the contrary.

Have you really thought about this for yourself or are you just repeating opinions you've heard from others? You're as entitled to your opinion as I am to mine, but it is dangerous to think that you are right and most other people wrong.

Try to keep an open mind

Remember that the USA were considering supporting the Nazis up until Pearl Harbour when, don't forget, Germany declared war on them. Since then they have interfered in the world with no shame. Central America, how many death squads just so the American people could buy cheap fruit? Northern Ireland, they saw terrorism as the right to drink green beer on St Patrick's Day. Afghanistan, where they used the fundamentalists to bring down the Soviet Union who were trying to civilise the medieval warlords. All they did there was to encourage a line of fanatical no-hopers all the way from the Pacific to the Atlantic and we all have to live with the consequences. The silent majority wouldn't be silent if they bothered to look for the truth

So everyone who doesn't agree with you is Gay/commy or a Nazi?
Will I do not agree with you. America looks after coperate america, and sod the rest of the world, the BBC is not biased against america, it's biased towards america, after middle English the next accent most likely to be heard is american. Perhaps you should pack a bag, use to worlds busiest airport and move there?

Good Times, Happy Times...

Thanks for giving us George Orwell. We couldn't have done it without you!

Make sure you thank them for supporting the IRA against you and if you think in the last 60yrs they have been the so called saviors of the world we are safer then next time you take the subway,go for a visit to Bali or go to ground zero say a pray for the innocents that payed the price and thank America for making the world a safer place.

In helping us against the Germans, they also helped themselves. If America did not enter the Second World War when they did, Germany and the Nazi's would probably ruling us and them now.

The US has chosen to "protect" countries that can propel them into a state of financial bliss, just ask people in Afica.

I agree with you if we're speaking of the USA prior to the George W. Bush regime. Right now, you better thank God for the BBC and reporters like Amy Goodman of Democracy Now. There's a very dangerous, mean-spirited faction of the American populace that has been unleashed and if these people have their way, the commies and the Nazis are gonna seem like a walk in the park.

I think you may be thanking the wrong USA, the USA your thanking is either dead or getting ready to die. The USA that will accept your thanks took the world into an unjust unholy war agist the middle east and the musilms alike. Yes USA did help us in WWII but they seam to be doing all the things the NAZI's were doing building up to our initial invation.

A change in their policy on the war on terror would save the world a whole lot of trouble.

I have no answer for your question...except, thank you. Thank you for knowing the truth. That's why we love you Brits!
