Dude how about u get out of your basement once in a while and look around: US is already invaded by Chinese and Arabs. They can cut your throat while u sleep without having to march across Canada or whatever.
One day, when u will go to school u will find out that there is life beyond the US borders, and it is better!!!!!!!!!!!!
no offence to anyone, but its idiots like this who make America look stupid. The topic is about the game and not another one of those : I love America we r the best (even though I don't know shit about anything else.
Keep dreaming boy
Funny how you say the US is already being invaded by the Chinese. I'm an asian-american
In addition, if you would just look to the right, at the place where it says "location", you will see that I live in Switzerland.
Although I've spent the most years in any one country in America, I have been abroad for most of my life (england/switzerland/taiwan/holland). I have visited over 80 countries when I'm on my vacations.
I assure you I know there is life beyond US borders, I assure you that I do know "shit about anything else".
I am not one of those guys who just say "America is the best" and "we will be undefeatable for all time". I am one of those guys that acknowledges some of America's weaknesses and hypocracy, militarily, economically and politically. And yet, I also acknowledge the fact that in the current state, America's power is above and beyond. Militarily and economically (despite the growing current account deficit on our nation's balance of payments to creditor nations such as china/japan etc.), America has such an influence in the world.
Although it has done many evils in the past (slavery, right wing intervention in third world countries during the cold war, racism), America has also done good in the world, such as the works of President Wilson, his charter of 14 points, his want of a world body (the UN), America's promotion of democracy, freedom, liberty, capitalistic economies and anti-corruption and anti poverty agendas (peace corps, UN resolutions that the US has pursued, intervention of genocide in yugoslavia during the 1990s, bill clinton and his mediating between sharon and arafat, and USAID* (even though there are many problems of this in America itself... every system has its imperfections, eg. senators and lobbyists, guantanamo bay, Patriot Act, etc)
I would like to ask you what type of education you are having/had/provided with. This would give me an idea of who I am dealing with, and whether or not you are worth me discussing politics with you.

yeah! It would be fun to invade the US! I love China, so I don't mind. PS, tell your government to stop the "communist-chase" wtf do you got against communists?! =@
What communist chase? The McCarthy era has ended. Like, 50 years ago.
Note:
I'd just like to note to other people that Norway is a welfare nation, a very liberal political society and people like his dude just might like communism
This will be my last political post on this thread. Write me on PM or move to the Debate and Serious Discussion thread if you want to continue.-------------------------------------------------------------
*-- However, USAID benefits the agricultural voters of america since USAID basically is an excuse for government subsidies to its farming sector, primary sector of economy. it can be said that rather than giving third world people this food, boosting their dependence, and boosting their agricultural economy, the US can simply open its agricultural market to third world nations, and improve the GNI (gross national
income, not product.. two different things) and improve the standard of life held by these people. Opening the agricultural market may improve living conditions there economically so they don't need USAID anymore, having no longer a need for food packets dropped out of the sky to feed starving people, whose numbers would be less if there was economic development (different from economic growth = development focuses on standdard of living of people)
