Here it is. Bash Away. It will last longer than the 'The Thread That Will Not Die" or "The Rapture Index".
There is nothing the US can do that will not amaze me. It attacks tinpot dictators while sitting on a nuclear arsenal that could end life on earth.
It guarantees the right to own a popgun, while sitting on an arsenal that could end life on earth.
It cracks the sh*ts when 3,000 people die, when that many die every day for reasons that are entirely avoidable.
It demands ethical behaviour, while acting always in it's own best interests.
The US complains when it is attacked with nothing more than ideas for being what it is.
It is made up of a multicplicity of of people, yet it comes down to a few powerful cliques that will not be challenged by outsiders.
It has appropriated Winnie the Pooh and created a travesty of the original.
The Planet X woowoo rubbish all originated in the USA.
It is quite happy to create olympic champions that die before they reach 40 because of the drugs they consumed.

Obviously, the real reason AUP is such a boob about the USA is that an American woman did not agree to have sex with him. Either that, or he was beat up by an American kid in school.

In fact, I can remember in grade 2, there was Kevin D'Angeles, who was quite obviously American. He would say things like "listen to the sireeen", if an ambulance was zipping by.
He got hell. I wasn't at all surprised when he disappeared after a short time.
I can also remember, many years later, I worked for a company that bought an insurance package from an American company. My company, at outragous expense, hired some contractors from that company to come out and show us how to run it properly. Of course, they turned out to be as useful as a hatful of *********.
One of them I called "Miss America". She wore a different item of clothing every day. Always wore the full makeup. Once, after a social function at which everyone became suitably imbibed, she sat next to me at my desk and asked me all these questions about my job, which I dutifully answered. After a while she moved on to another desk. It was only later I learned that at a party that I could not go to, that within five minutes of turning up at that party that she was off in the bedroom and having it off. Then it twigged, ahhh, that was what she was after.
As for the guy, he turned out to be gay and to have a crush on one our programmers, whom he lured off to another company with bribes of a senior postion with much better pay. He had been brought up in a fundamentalist Xian family. This guy ended up leaving the country just as all the companies he owed a fortune to, starting with the credit card companies, twigged that maybe he wasn't going to pay it back.

Well, I suppose the world is entitled to it's own opinion (except in countries where they are not entitled to have an opinion).
Fortunately, I live in the greatest country in the world, and the rest of you are powerless to stop us!
That's pride. To those of you gripping about us, if you had something worth having pride over, you wouldn't be gripping.
I have nothing to defend, I support my countries actions. When the world was running from the Nazi's, we cried to us. When the world is starving, they cry to us. When the world needs a miracle cure for something, do they think it up themselves? No, they cry to us.
We have given the world it's technology. We have helped stem hunger. We have given more to curing and treating diseases such as AIDS and cholera and tuberculosis then ANY other country. No one spends more trying to cure cancer, heart disease, and even little germs that NEVER EVEN EFFECT US.
We've given you the car (a rich guy making ONE in his garage in Germany does not count), the plane, and outer space. It was us that allowed mankind to aspire to reach for the stars. Was it not us that conquered the moon, and then gave the technology to the rest of the world to do the same?
And we tolerate your gripping.

Cutting one set of programs in order to pay for another set of programs does raise money for the favored program.
It may not raise money in the sense of selling something,
or by raising the tax rate on existing taxes,
or in creating new taxes,
or increasing tax collections by acclerated economic growth,
but never the less, cutting some items in the budget in order to pay for other items is a way to raise money.
A conservative estimate for cost of the tax cuts is $350 billion over the next ten years. Since it is quite unlikely (with the war on) that the economy will grow into these tax cuts, and that tax increases will be approved in order to pay for tax decreases, then that money has to be raised somewhere.
Ergo, one must cut other programs to raise money to pay for the tax cuts.
OK now?

Cutting one program to free up money so that it came be spent elsewhere is not raising money (unless the first program was operating at a loss, or the favored program turns a profit).
Also, no money need be raised in your scenario. The government could operate at a deficit.

"Also, no money need be raised in your scenario. The government could operate at a deficit."
No government can operate at a deficit for long periods of time without damaging it's credit rating. The lower the credit rating of course, the less likely it is any other government or individual will wish to buy your bonds or invest in your currency.
Historically, the US has been given somewhat of an easier ride than other nations, due to it's centrality in the world of commerce... and more especially the world of military power. Japan, a major holder of US bonds, and largest financer of Gulf War 1, is unwilling to call those bonds in, and thus bankrupt the US, when it is reliant upon the US nuclear detterant in the face of North Korea, and especially China, for instance.
However... those of you who've been following the politics of currency recently will have noted that there is a slow shift away from the dollar; mostly towards the Euro (recent discussions in OPEC, Saddam had already moved to the Euro as a petro-currency). This is occuring not because of any hatred of America, but because of increasing worries about the sheer size of US deficit being built up, and the unwillingness of the current Administration to take sensible preventative measures to contol it. The risk of even more international conflict, on top of the Eight score score and 7 billion dollar Iraq year to come, just makes the markets even more uneasy. It'll take an absolute catastrophe before those with investments in the US start demanding Argentina type reforms of the US... but that doesn't mean the US (or anyone else for that matter) will have eternal carte-blance to do what they wish. One man, George Soros, completely trashed UK monetary policy on Black Wednesday by speculating against the pound. Don't assume the Dollar will remain eternally sacrosanct either... money goes where it can make money. It cares nothing for you or your nation.
The rest of the thread is just very, very silly. Obviously the solution to all the anti-Americanism is to get American girls to put out whenever possible, thus combatting all that sexual angst. Fortunately, the US has many immigrants, so all possible tastes will be catered for. In fact, the US should just close all it's Embassies and replace them with brothels, and the world will love America; Et Voila! World peace!
I could criticize the other side of the arguments too, but then I wouldn't be getting laid, so I won't.

Sorry man, I guess you are just too smart for me.
How one can consider cutting one area of a budget in order to fund something else as not raising money for that something else is beyond me.
By the same token, how one can consider borrowing money, then paying it back with interest, in order to pay for something as not raising money for that something is beyond me as well.
By the way, government programs seldom, if ever, make money, they simply do not work that way. So again, I do not know what you are talking about in this instance.

(AUP is actually answering me seriously on this one... ah well.)
Jeez, AUP, if that's the reason, try to get laid with some American tourist and get it over with... "Get laid"?????
Look at AUPs post count.
How can anyone possibly have time to get laid when you spend 90% of your waking hours thinking up ways to bash the US & Isreal on an internet bulletin board..................

Don't forget:
Critisises oppressive regimes, illegally detains people.
Oh, and it had to rip off 'God Save the Queen' to get 'Our Country 'Tis of Thee'. Did Britain get any royalties for that? NoooOOOOooo?

But don't we get points for using a bawdy drinking song for the tune of our national anthem?

I keep confusing "God Save the Weasel" with "Pop goes the Queen", myself.

Kudos to AUP, he finally got the cahonies to come out and say what his real agenda is.
Now if only Australia was worth attacking.

Well, I LIKE most Americans. They are honest and hard-working, laugh a lot, can drink hard along with the rest of us, they live in a country that has many scenic wonders, etc, etc.
*sigh*
Enough of a suck-up so far?

It's ok.. We can finally reveal that we, Australians, are going to become the new super power... The Americans are just jealous cause they had their run but don't want to give up the "bicycle". Sorry yanks, it's our turn to play with the bike!
Now watch us ride it into a tree!

It's actually California. I've been considering changing my bio to Outer Austria of late :p

I have worked with several Aussie scientists. Nicest folks I have ever met. It always made my day to hear a "good on ya, mate".

There is nothing the US can do that will not amaze me. It attacks tinpot dictators while sitting on a nuclear arsenal that could end life on earth.
It guarantees the right to own a popgun, while sitting on an arsenal that could end life on earth.
It cracks the sh*ts when 3,000 people die, when that many die every day for reasons that are entirely avoidable.
It demands ethical behaviour, while acting always in it's own best interests.
The US complains when it is attacked with nothing more than ideas for being what it is.
It is made up of a multicplicity of of people, yet it comes down to a few powerful cliques that will not be challenged by outsiders.
It has appropriated Winnie the Pooh and created a travesty of the original.
The Planet X woowoo rubbish all originated in the USA.
It is quite happy to create olympic champions that die before they reach 40 because of the drugs they consumed.
Well, at least we aren't Aussies.

Ok when you prove that you can survive in this crazy country of mine I think that you will have earned the privilege to have me as your owner... :cool:

Don't pretend you Greeks don't love Australia, Cleo: We've got three million of the feta munching SOB's down here taking full advantage of our generous maternity leave laws as I type.
What is it that makes the souvlaki-suckers so obnoxious, anyway? Start a discussion on politics with them, and you can guarantee you won't leave the room without at least one year chewed off from sheer Akropolian noise. Is it genetic, or do you guys have to learn that from birth?
