It sounds to me like you are saying that if someone has anything negative to say about their own goverment, then they can just move to another country,
why should anyone have to move to another country just because they are unhappy with the current goverment, saying that things could be better in your homeland is not the same as saying that you hate your country.

That's not at all what I said. Saying "things could be better" is far different than bashing everything about the country and listing a number of "better countries." There's a big difference between the constructive criticism given in some posts and the full-on bashing given in others.
That would be like me following Korn (one of my least-favorite bands ever) around on tour and then going on about how bad they suck after every show.

i can go on and on about how i like API preamps better then what i have now and thats ok though right?
dont take any of this the wrong way im just having fun here.
i mean its a forum..Matt Smith said:
I think there is a better analogy. "I hate the city I live in and city X and city Y are a lot better." Sure you could move to city X or city Y, but you'd have to quit your job, sell your house and prepare to have all your things moved to the new place. Plus you've got to get a new driver's license and do a bunch of registration things with the new city that you may or may not qualify for. On top of that the people that live in City X and City Y also have a different language that they use, and sure people do speak your current language there but it isn't the main language.
Not everyone has the ability (read $$$$$$) to drop everything and relocate halfway across the world. People have to think of their families that they support first.
If metal keeps its trap shut while party politics and financial gain rule the world, while we wage a war on something with one hand and dump money into it with the other, and watch the only reasons the country got where it was in the first place get trampled over by the power-hungry and the ignorant who support them, metal's not going to last too long - just watch the lists of things that are the antichrist in the eyes of the evangelicals in charge right now, what's at the top of things that need to go? I think this kind of thread is important because the people who actually want to take over the world are simply too fucked in the head to be allowed to do so and the people in charge are almost always going to want to stay that way, at whatever cost and with whatever side effects, so there is NOONE on this planet who should be able to tell people that it's impolite to talk political and religious bullshit and that it's not nice to argue.
We also have Japan reconsidering their constitution's pacifistic leanings and launch a preemptive strike against North Korea. With the kind of bombs that can be made today, one strike could literally kill everything, period. The atomic bombs that hit Japan half a century ago had a yield of 15 and 22 kilotons, and now one of the 50 bombs held under one of our firepower retention programs (the B53) is at nine MEGAtons. One Trident II missile, of which we have plenty (carried by fourteen active-duty submarines in the US Navy and accurate enough to be our first attack vehicles - can you say 'First Strike Is Deadly'?) can have a yield of almost four megatons; for an idea of how much power we could put into a bomb forty years ago, in 1961 Russia's bomb codenamed Ivan had a yield of about fifty megatons, and if you keep in mind that there is no upper limit on the potential yield of a fission bomb, one button means we're all FUCKED. Now would be a very good time to be not only pissed the fuck off that this kind of thing can happen but also very careful with what kind of person we put in office, and if we keep shutting each other up over what kind of thing we get to talk about because some people are afraid of the consequences of knowing what's going on, we're not going to be here much longer.

one of your president said
"And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.
My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."
He was killed.
The one who stills living can't even do a correct sentence with more than 3 verbs and never left America before he was president.
What do you do for you country to tell "WE are the best" ? is it a passive and comfortable position?
The thing that some (hum...) americans don't understand is that EVRY EMPIRE in the history of the humanity collapsed at its climax. and climax can be 100, 200, 300 years... but not eternity.
i do love america, but they won't save the face of the earth.

Yeah, well, we've got the best Poutine! Then again, we're probably the only ones dumb enough to eat it!

Unless you factor in the condition of the environment which makes Vanuatu the happiest country and Denmark sits at #99

50kms of coastline.
Aussies werent aloud to have any fixed positions.
No specialy weapons, only what you would have in a small platoon. Which is basically a couple of machine guns and general issue personal weapons.
Americans were given a 24 hours timeframe to invade.
They lost because they hit the beach on a stupidly obvious point. Thats how the diggers knew where they were going to come up from and set up a few basic ambushes a little inland.
Youd be lucky to see a person on 20kms of typical Australian coastline in the first place.
And yes invading a coastline is a shitload harder to do then set up defenses, but when you out number the enemy 4 to 1. Have far superior firepower from the average range of each weapon and the possibilities of different specialty weapons and/or groups. Have the element of surprise, the Americans decided when there were going to invade within that time frame, and they could have easily snuck right by the Aussies at night. I doubt they would have been able to do that well as they do not know the meaning of noise discipline and tend to tred very heavily.
Oh and by the way the Americans night vision systems are 6 generations ahead of Australian night vision systems.
They lost because they were stupid. Not because the odds were against them.
Their soldiers are poorly trained but they have a lot and they very well equipped.
From my time training with or talking to yank soldiers I just found they lack a huge part of general warfare knowledge that a basic solder should have. And its a trend right up the line of rank.
