a little piece of light: Ode to America

Feel free to talk about anything that you want.

All Nations do Rights and Wrongs, but what we must never forget is that, IMO, the USA was the world's salvation in WWII, when I do not think that even mighty Russia could have fought off Hitler without the support of the USA on the Western Front.

This was not in my lifetime but in that of my parents - and this was their belief.

Elsewhere we have discussed 'soldiers'; having seen some of the recent firefights on TV, these guys and girls have my every admiration for their bravery and fortitude, irrespective of the Rights and Wrongs of the Campaigns in which they are fighting.

God Bless Freedom - and those prepared to uphold it.

and by the way, you're not doing "your people" much justice here GG.. in fact I think you're acting exactly like most people sterotype Americans.



I thought a forum was to air your opinion??

I'm just glad she has got rid of that bloody monkey :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


Yes a forum is a place to air your opinion.. but the title of this forum just happens to be "www.cyprus-forum.com"

I love America, "The Land". As a "Country", it has it's problems. As a "Government" which makes it's foreign policies, it is very easy to hate her. As one of my 3 citizenship's happens to be an American, I complain like hell, when we do wrongs around the world. Fortunately, most of the time, America does great things around the world.

So be very careful what is it that you hate about America. America has great things to offer to the world, and have done so for many years. Complain against her on specific issues, but also praise her, when warranted.

so then snad, tell me why in so many threads on this forum, the USA is brought in when it has nothing to do with the original thread, and causes an uproar.
BTW, this was posted under General discussions, which is exactly what this is.

Maybe the USA is always brought up cause you bring it up!! Exactly like this particular thread.
Yes, I agree.. this is posted under General Discussions... in a forum called CYPRUS-FORUM.COM!!!!!!!!!!
Not wasting any more of my time on this thread, you're obviously the kind of person who just never backs down, so i'll say goodbye Gorila Girl.. enjoy your time in the GREAT USA!!!

I am beginning to miss the monkey myself, it was such a good representation of GorillaGal, she leaps in shrieking at every opportunity but never really READS what others write before responding with her insults, (Typical?) :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I thought it was moving in a "god bless America" over the top kind of way!

Erm... I have posted a few threads about the UK - all of them slagging it off. Was that naughty too? :oops:
