Keep it shiny eh?
You're bang on right. A whole bunch of soldiers from UK, other Commonwealth nations, Pakistan, etc. have served and died in a number of overseas battles that they probably had no stake in, just like American soldiers. The only difference is that these other nations aren't vilified in the UN for either "interfering" in the affairs of others, or "not getting involved soon enough".
So, in order to avoid all this international hatred and bile, we should just pull all our overseas assets back to our borders, and tow the UN building into the Atlantic
While we're at it, we can also dump all the diplomatic vehicles with hundreds of ignored and unpaid summonses into the Atlantic, right next to the UN Building.Oh, and I definitely agree that this political argument has no place in this thread, or on this board. But I do so hate being left out
They can have my "Firefly" DVDs when they pry them from my cold, dead fingers....
Oh yeah,
you, FOX TV!!

What that means, in essence, is that nobody gives a good gorram what some hoodlum warrior chief in Africa who happens to be on the UN Human Rights Commission thinks about how the USA conducts her affairs.
And of course nobody on Earth cares when that African warlord violates those human rights.
And the whole "screw the UN" approach is why people from the rest of the world hate us. And then other people can't understand why there's so much America-bashing throughout Europe. UN approval was a good idea because it would've reduced this anger. It's perfectly ok to have think that European nations should mind their own gorram business, but you then have to accept their ill will.

I do hope Wonderfalls is a big hit for them, but I'm afraid they will wind up cancelling it for The Littlest Groom 2.
A while ago, I saw the preview for Forever Eden, and they called it "groundbraking." Then I thought "Yeah, just when you think they've hit rock bottom, they sink to a lower level."
I'm glad Fox is failing, as it killed all my shows, but I have doubts. Sure, they're making a lot less money, but reality TV shows cost like 1/4 as much money to make. So they might be having more profits despite their lower ratings.

Not a Republican so I frankly don't care. If the Republican Party falls then hopefully that will be a sign that the two party system will end.
I also don't like the 2-party system. Right now, each party has various aspects that disgust me. I side with the democrats because I hate Bush, but I hate their softness on drugs and immigration, and their reluctance to let people have guns.
PS: sorry for the triple-post, I go through and respond to each post I'm gonna respond to. Frankly, I prefer this to an ultra-long post, as is popular in political boards

I would believe in multilateralism more if it didn't seem like the rest of the world thought the USA was worse than whatever problem we were attempting to help solve. As a good SF fan of long standing, I agree that our petty differences here on planet Earth will have to be put aside in order for the lot of us to advance. However, why is it that the USA has to be the one to advance, while the rest of the world gets to retain their petty jealousies and squabbles (ie, Palestine, Central Europe, Africa, etc., ad nauseum...) and then make snotty comments about our behavior at the same time?? With the attitude of the whole lot of holier-than-thou, snooty, self-important non-Americans, it's no wonder that so many Americans believe in the "Screw the UN" approach. In all honesty, I don't give a good gorram what Jackie Chirac, Schroeder, his cat, or Putin think about what the USA "should" do, about anything at all.
Oh, while I'm ranting,
"The Simple Life" and every other reality show on Fox TV. 
I just didn't want to leave that out

Oh, I finally found where your sig came from. I thought it was from "Safe", but I don't have a photographic memory for scripts

*Sighs*
Shame to see a thread about the fall of Fox degenerate into a political debate, then a debate on isolationism.
Take it elsewhere people. Politics only leads to arguements which have no place in this thread.
"May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."
