As a "dumbass Canuck" I just have a few things to say. Some people
here seem to think that Communist countrys simply have a "different
system of government and economics", as one poster has said. If you
think that that is all it is, then maybe you should read "The Gulag
Archipelago" by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. No nation's government has
enslaved or murdered more of its own citizens then the former
U.S.S.R., well, except for, perhaps, The People's Republic of China.
No the U.S., and the rest of the western world aren't perfect. We
get some jerky leaders sometimes. A lot of us take our freedom for
granted, and because of that, we are slowly losing our freedom to
gradual, creeping socialism of one sort or another. It's happening in
Canada. We had more freedom forty or fifty years ago. It's also
happening in the U.S., but they aren't as far along the road as we
are. But if things keep going the way they are, we will all eventually
lose all our freedom.
But our western way of life is a hell of a lot better then
anything in any Communist or Fascist, or Islamic country, or in any
country that has some sort of totalitarianism. And although the U.S.
has its problems and isn't perfect, it's a hell of a lot better then
any of those dictatorial countrys. And none of the rest of us are
perfect either. But hell, if it wasn't for the U.S., our countrys
would all be Communist countrys controlled from Moscow a long time
ago. And we would all be brainwashed slaves to our "comrade great
leader", or slowly dieing in concentration camps, or already dead. So,
for this, all freedom loving people in the world, owe the U.S. a huge
"Thankyou".
Oh yes, someone said that the U.S. dropped H bombs on Japan??? No,
they didn't! Look it up.
