Does anyone know where there is any information on how much the 'War on terror' is costing america? If possible is there any information say how much it costs a week or even a day?

I think that information would be quite suprising to most people.

its funny how involved you are in american politics considering youre not even in the country... have you ever been to this country?

yep a few years ago then we went to canada to see some relatives.

Its just that america is the economic hub of the world and if america falls it'll be the great depression all over again... maybe even worse now though.

The cost (possible probable or actually spent), on the war on terror is something that I cannot recall ever being mentioned.
Like I've said before though, living in America you get so used to corruption that no perversion really surprises you anymore.
Thats a part of our downfall as well, we don't get pissed off enough because we are so used to it.
You should see it. People just shrug their shoulders and say something like, "Well thats awful." and don't do a goddamn, fucking thing.
I wonder if we were not so desensitized, if the outcome of 9/11 (the war on terrorism being declared), would have been different.
Probably we would not have allowed the electoral college to put bush into office in the first place. But who knows if things would be any better with Gore. But it would also go all the way back through US history, and we would probably be in a better situation.
We have lost any sense of righteous indignation, and the willingness to speak up about the stench of rampent corruption emanating from our leaders. At least the average person has.

'For the greater good as long as i'm the only one who benefits'

My all time favourite slogan.. i need to decorate my folders with some more...

I really like

'America is not a nation it is a brandname' thats a good one.

So hands up... who thinks it'll be bush in 2004? And whos the democrat candidate?

I don't know, I figure we're long do for a succesful assassination attempt.

do you think the vice president would be better... oh what am i saying how much of an improvement do you think he'd be?

but doesn't that mean that have to stick bush on mount rushmoore?

Yeh, I know the corruption runs deep, it's like an infected wound.

then it needs to be amputated, problem is america is set up to be a well democracy of the rich... i mean how much have your laws changed since independence?

They haven't really, just ammendments and other minor tinkerings.

A little more than amendments and tinkerings, for sure, but still, its not enough.

The majority of the laws put in effect after independence were slave laws/black codes etc. After all that's said and done it's mostly been drug and substance laws. But yeah, outside of civil liberties there have been few legal advancements in the 200 or so years we've been a country.

why? then wed have the stink of bush forever... hed be some kind of martyr and then wed celebrate Bushs birthday or something and all of our highschool would be renamed after hime.

if you look past current issues into the history of our america, you will see that it was actually a good concept, like all of the great governments people care to discuss...they started out with a pure, idealistic concept, but as the governments grew and in their own eyes became something greater than the average person that it was originally meant to help...it's not an issue exclusive to america...or current times. Once again people seem to be blaming the symptom for being a sympton, instead of what's causing the disease...it's the people, not a concept!

Dont worry about KOL jordy hes got USA envy.

Besides, Bush is a Godawful name for an international airport,. although we could nickname it the pubic hairport.

It's none of my business really, but what's with the grudge?

his attitude towards anything american...as if he and the countries he's from are so much greater than america...the media just doesn't have the freedoms around the world as it has here...sure, our president is the antichrist, our government is a clique of rub my back, i'll rub yours, but it's not the fault of the people living here...it just seems some are unable to distignuish the difference between the heart of america and the government.

I disagree, but I'll let him defend himself.

because hes a self gloryfing tart.. every three seconds its how bad america is and how great finland is, how evil america is and how bright the fins are. a year ago he championed his nation as heros for kicking russian ass in some retarded war that barely got on CNN. and how all russians were scumbags and such... and how hes a giant 10 foot red head monster and how great it is that his country doesnt allow freedom and all this petty nonsense.. christ is must be so easy to cast dispersions when you sit on the sidelines.. its pathetic to see he takes more interest in my country than his own. buncha viking waifs, finland is an icy shithole that has yet to contribute anything to the world. And if half his country is 1/10th as envious of the Us and other civilized nations then it must be a hellhole indeed.
