donkey Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 A place for Americans to gather and chat each other up Hey it is a good idea,, glad I came up with it. You gotta love the land of the free and the home of the brave, the richest, most powerful country in the world. Oh,,,,,,the other places around the world I have visited have been mostly warm too. I just thought with all the American bashing going on this was due. I think most will agree. Kindest comments go out to Bonnie and my new friends here. = edit: Childs peace flag added...we have kids too 1145hr 03.19.008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkey Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 "Imagine there are no countries" god! why was john lennon killed? he could have changed the world Would be nice but countries and conflicts like language differences is a way of life. The real problems in the world are with the people/countries who only understand ONE language. VIOLENCE. My father explained this to me just before he died. That even though we want peace, and the world to be as one, because of the seperatists, assholes and people who understand only their way or violence. Well the way he put it was you just give em a good arse kicking and be done with it before they hurt too many people. My dad never said many things, didnt have a college degree, or know millions of words. But he was very wise and very loving. I loved Lennon, Paul and that I wasnt real nutso about. I felt kinda about him like I do Page. Without either of them there could be no Beatles or Zeppelin. Replace the rest, it wont be the same but a fact of business is everyones replaceable Dont push the buttons on the Tomahawks yet.... Give Peace A Chance?

PlantOneOnMe Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 "Imagine there are no countries" god! why was john lennon killed? he could have changed the world I am an American, and I was ashamed that an American crazy person was responsible for the death of John Lennon, a citizen from another country seeking a life with his wife and child(ren) in the great city of New York. No one deserved the kind of death and betrayal John Lennon suffered at the hands of an American. This is a great country, but sometimes I just bow my head in shame and bewilderment. Don't even get me started................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't even get me started................... I have to agree with you there. I think the problem with Lennon being an American Citizen is way more involved that just "sign a few papers." I loved Lennon, but if he had been from say Brazil he would have gotten his American Citzenship bada bing bada boom. Point being the U.K and U.S.A have been at each other since we established America and several U.K citzens had trouble while visiting the U.S.A. The media blew it way outta proportions and it became a tit for tat issue most arent even aware of. Then you have the terrorist nits lol. I pray, I dont know if it does any good in reality. But I do know it gives me peace and helps people heal. donkey PS Lennon was at the hands of a psychotic fuck. Dont lump all us into that and be ashamed. It wast due to most Americans. Now Charlie Brown, kick the ball, hee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*I*LOVE*JIMMY!! Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I love our USA, but I am scared shitless. It's not safe not even in the little towns. School shootings, murders, drugs (meth) it's getting out of hand. Scandel in the police departments, cant trust them, even the goverment is crooked. Money goes everywhere but here. Just my opinion and yes I know it's not bad everywhere, it just seems like it. Theres never any good news in the papers. Tv and movies are way to much for the children to watch, even the cartoons are way out there in content. Shouldn't have gotten me started. I'm sure there will be some one here even to tell me where to go . Then I would have mad my point. I just want to feel safe, not have to lock the door when I'm home. Save out troops!

Is there another country that you know of you would feel safer in? Sounds like you need to move to another town. I know many move to the burbs. 1. Never trust someone who carries a gun. I dont care who it is /// 2. Dont move somewhere where only the criminals can own one....and there are many. How does that saying god? "Never take a knife to a gun fight." Crime is very low here. The only thing you see is kids getting drunk now and again. Move somewhere safe.

What scares me is how connected (with gadgets) we are, like PCs, MACs, PDAs, Cell phones, etc and yet we communicate with each other very little. Technology with all it's glory (texting and even these forums) it is all so cold and isolating. For instance: My 31 yr old son now texts me greetings for Happy Mother's Day or texts me with Happy Birthday. No phone call, just texts. Doesn't anyone talk anymore? THAT is what is scary to me.

I know what your saying. I have like a briefcase full of phones, palms, smart phones, pagers and gadgets. I use one of them and it was about the cheapest one. Funny huh? I prefer the $20 over the Blackberry? donkey PS There's people here who have free long distance and local, so if you ever need to actually chat lol. Even phones are impersonal compared to face to face, sign of the times I guess. A phone goes off and twenty people look at each other and say literally NOTHING, just shake heads like "not me."

Suz Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Most of us in here are from America, anyway. There's already a president thread, and political threads that are mostly about American politics. I love it when people from other countries contribute to them, as well. What can I say, when we're good, we're so good...and when we're bad, we're so bad.

Now the donkey may make a little better sense to some lol. Where's the G.O.P thread? BTW, I vote either way...could still go democrat or republican. I will see Cheers, donkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkey Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 I love my country, it's beautiful, full of diversity and freedom. I just hope we can get back to being the great nation we were before the last eight horrible years, for our citizens and in the eyes of the rest of the world. I know the next President, whoever it is, will help put our country back on track. We so desperately need it. Out with the old and loathsome (including past downers who infected my life), in with the new, LOL. I love it too. Fortunately shrub cannot be prez again. However if I had to vote today, I would vote republican...odd but true. Facts of life are... 1. Everyone and everything is/are replaceable. 2. Everything is either business or psychology no matter how you look at it Well, I think there may be a third, but I will let the m ms add that one. donkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suz Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I really like getting in the car for a long road trip. I like to drive to South Dakota and see the transition from midwest to west. I like the west coast alot, too, because the landscape is amazing. I feel very free when I'm out on the road in the middle of nowhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstickbonzo Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I like three things about Delaware: 1. Senator Joseph Biden 2. The Grande Opera House 3. I can get to Florida (and other spots South of me) going through Delaware... otherwise, it's pretty boring there. seriously, I applaud you. I would substitute "Dover Downs" for the Opera House but yes, superb list. But that's it. haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigstickbonzo Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Well i'm a bit North of Delaware, but i have been to quite a few concerts at the Opera House (Pat Metheney Band and a few others) years ago. I also hear good things about Christiana Hospital...but it's all heresay. I usually only drive thru the state, unfortunately the 'whole' state since we take 17 down to the Bay Bridge while going down to the OBX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkey Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Protecting the homestead Hiya, Gotcha! Mine are locked up because there are too many little ones in the family running about. Same goes with many of the others in my fam. If you check in they may have you put them in the safe... We had a family member run off with one once, rob a store and wind up way out west. Was not real old at the time... Cheers, donkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
