Because that "Dammed piece of paper" that GW so despises says we may speak up when we have a mind to. The power of freedom of speech is that ALL ideas may come to the table. When brought into the light, bad ideas will fall by the wayside, if the elected have the guts to allow this to happen.
If you want to know why so many hate us and that some Americans are unhappy with our "foreign policy" try studying our history. How did we aquire Hawaii? Who was the Shah of Iran? How did he come to power? How did old Saddam come to power? Why are Americans in Afganistan being shot at with American made weapons?
We bully any country that has what will serve the richest 2% all in the name of flag and country. Bottom line and cheap imports is all that we are after. |

Not all are Americans, but many are just kids that believe the BS they get from the Left media. They are only repeating what their handlers are feeding them. I personally would like to send them to a communist country for a couple of years and let them try to open their mouths there and scream about rights and freedoms. They have no clue, not even one small clue as to how fortunate they are to be in this country. It's pretty sorry. |

I have no idea, I wish there was some way to kick them off. Im a huge supporter of the military, even though I might not be a huge proponent for the war going on right now I am all for the military and plan on joining myself when I turn 18. Thanks for all you do. |

Your a combat engineer in the USMC, i respect you for that, a lot, but since your fighting for our rights shouldn't you know that people have the right to say whatever they want about America? |

I agree with you 100%. I am in the United States Army, My Older Brother is a Marine and we lost a brother in The war with Afghanistan in 2003, this is ridiculous that children can criticize the country and politics the way they do when they aren't old enough to understand them. I personally think if you have not put your life on the line at one time or another for this country than you shouldn't have any say on what goes on with it. |

maybe because to many have gotten used to the blanket of freedom the government provides for them. at the same time the us civilian seems not to be able to teach right and wrong to there children without criticism . Nor is there punishment for those who commit crimes no-one is guilty and so they know there is no punishment for them. Probably their not Americans s .Just bleeding heart wanna Be's. The big voices with no actions |

Probably because everyone doesnt like everyone else. If they did, we wouldnt have any wars going on. |

I'm a retired 30 year school teacher and totally agree with you about the lack of self respect many of our children have today, but not only our children, young adults and some older adults too. The reason children have no respect for our freedoms is because their parents are their role models and they don't teach them. It's like you said, not all, but a bunch!!! I substituted at our alternative high school in the Spring and I could tolerate everything except the day a 20 year old knocked the flag on the floor and stepped on it. I came unglued and I told them all I could tolerate anything except for abusing a symbol of our freedom, which my WW11 daddy fought in and all the other men and women who have fought for our freedom. Without all of you fighting for us, we would not even have the freedom to express ourselves on this web site, much less have an alternative school for those who don't know how to behave in a regular school. There would be no free press or speech. The uneducated children who ask disrespectful questions don't know they are putting down their parents by just asking such things. But the latest research shows that children today spend an average of 11 minutes a day in conversation with their parents/caretakers. Many don't even have parents; they live in various asundry homes. When kids have no role models, they cannot learn proper manners nor social skills. The reason for all the gangs today is due to the break down of the family, and it's world wide. Also, child development has not changed; kids are born and often on their own. Adults who take proper care of kids expect different things at different ages, but when the kids have to raise themselves, they don't do such good jobs. Adults have shirked their jobs at the greatest job in the world being to raise our children to be good civic minded citizens, but it isn't happening in a large part of our world. Not only do these kids post tons of anti-American questions, many post suicidal questions as to how to kill themselves and what will work best. Our suicide rate for teens is high and climbing. Also, we have more young teens committing heinous crimes being adjudicated as adults and ordered to adults prisons. When kids are born and not loved and taught how to be civic minded responsible citizens, they will get attention one way or the other, and because they aren't taught how to set limits, they want everything all at once and the only way to get it is illegally, so more legal problems result. Our young people in the USA are in trouble and they don't even know it. They are also being led by the media and TV. Anything and everything is on TV and so many don't censor what they watch. The TV becomes the role model and parent and we are in big trouble, you are so right!!!!!! I haven't figured out how to help our kids but it's got to come from the Federal Government that our kids are in a crises and have no clue they are. The kids that are good are really not given enough attention and we tend to focus on the many untrained ones. |

Where to begin?
We forced Iraq to dispose of their weapons, spent several years inspecting, and after we confirmed that they could not defend themselves we invaded them. Guess how many other countries will ever trust the US enought to disarm themselves. Is it any surprise that Iran and North Korea are making it known that they are armed and ready?
Then there's Bush's cavalier statement that 30,000 Iraqis, many civilians are dead as a result of our presence there.
Add to that the many prisoners we are holding indefinitely. We complain about human rights violations in China and other countries and then we do this!
And our White House is arguing for their right to torture people.
Any American who is not outraged at this abuse of power is either is not paying attention. |

Not everyone on here is from America. It's too bad you don't get all the support you deserve!
Children these days don't respect anyone. I don't know what is going on, but I'll be damned if when my children grow up they get on this computer and talk to adults the way these kids today do. I'll be yanking them away from this computer so fast their head will spin! I plan on teaching my boys all about respect, and if they don't give respect, they won't get it!!
And by the way, I never voted for Bush, so I don't know what to say. But here's a...*hug*..... |

People just don't have a sense of patriotism anymore and it disapoints me because even if you don't agree with the president you should still pray for him or at the least pray for our troops. |

Teens and children alike as well as college students are being taught by some teachers as well as parents to be this way.
They are Unpatriotic. Look at John Depp, he complain about America and says that he choose to live in France because he can smoke pot etc and yet he has no problem with taking money from America for his films.
If people are so anti American they should leave and go to another country and change their citizenship. They should not make a buck off of a country they hate. |

They are a bunch of no-brained ingrates who have studied in the public schools, listened to the liberal media and just plain don't have a clue when it comes to real life issues. Thank you for doing a job most people don't have the guts to do. If I weren't almost 60 yrs old, I would love to be serving with you. These idiots don't realize that the same elements are here among us and we may well have to fight them right here soon. |

I guess it is to get a reaction.
Merle Haggard once sang this song"When your running down my country you're walking on the fighting side of me"
Applies to all countries I think.
I'm not American but I think you are a very noble person.
Without the armed forces who would protect peoples rights
.Dictators and terrorists would rule the world.
You certainly have my respect and gratitude |

Thank you for everything you are doing to defend and protect this country! As for the others, who know? It's not just children, but they're all idiots who just don't get it. |

Let's just be thankful that only a fraction of a percentage of the people in the world are on this site right now. And of the ones who are on here, I believe that many of them are extremely young, which would account for their ignorant questions and comments. |

You'd be surprised how many 12 and 13 year old kids are on this site trying to act like a grown up and have no idea. than you have your treasoncrats who always blame America first. I just want to say thank you for your service. Most of us know enough to be grateful for what you are doing. |

because not everyone is from America on here, and not everyone in America likes the country. We can thank the Bush family! |
|

HHH

Not everyone on here is American for example im British but i think its because of what America is doing to the world today(sending troops to the middle east and killing innocent people). I have lots of respect for you for putting your life on the line and god bless. |

Like him or not, Bush has provided enough safety for you to continue with your hatred, of him and country. It is nothing new.. this hatred has been there long before Bush came into office.. He just happens to be the convenient one at this time. He has done no more to divide the country than did his predicessor. But he has taken the fight away from our country, lest there be many more fatalities than is taking place in Iraq... and those fatalities would be civilians, as was shown in 9/11. They are still planning.. so you better hope Bush keeps the pressue on them. |
