They forget that slaves have to be taken care of and Workers, take care of themselves and pay TAXES. Poor nations, are poor because they have poor people and rich people and no middle class to pay TAXES.

Same old, Same old. The aristocrats are more than happy to move manufacturing to China, where wages are less and regulations are less. As long as the aristocrats profit, what does it matter what happens to the American people? This is the United Corporations of America and the corporations ARE the aristocrats. Disney bought and paid for a 20 year extension on copyright, EXACTLY one year before Mickey's copyright was due to expire. That's just one example. Any who believe you or I could get the ear of Congress in the way Disney did is vaping something far stronger than nicotine, of that I assure you.

Or they're happy that we're willing to sacrifice our sons and daughters as well as hundreds of billions of dollars while they reap the rewards of a peaceful Middle East ... i'm sure they're graetful, after all it is because the U.S. acts as their military that they can actually focus on building their economies...
So it doesn't matter - we're just being manipulated into patriotism for the benefit of the rich corporations?
Please provide a direct quote and post number where I ever even mentioned 'patriotism' and I will be more than happy to address the above point.
Are you really naive enough to believe that?
Really? Where's this peaceful Middle East that you speak of?
Gashin, I worked hard and sent myself to college to get what you call a worthless degree. One of the first lessons I learned in business management was not to insult potential customers.
P.S. Everything we own, my hubby and I worked hard for, no one gave it to us.

Your degree may have mattered when you earned it - but now a college degree is worth very little in the work place. ALL my friends who graduated with business degrees are unemployed - in contrast all my engineering and science major friends have great careers or are in professional/medical school. The situation has changed drastically from years ago and unfortunately college is a waste of money for most people.
Fighting between Israelis and Palestinians doesn't count 
. Where is the war that is threatening our oil supplies? In fact, our oil supplies from Iraq were more stable with Saddam in power....

.... which means you have rather shot your self in the foot...Fighting between Israelis and Palestinians doesn't count
Fighting between them doesn't affect our oil supplies - unless Israel decides to do something stupid like bombing Iran... we have to realize the role Israel and the West have played in destabilizing the Middle East. It's not a one way street!
OK going a little off-topic here. Let's get back! Sorry if I offended anyone....
Yes, I agree, and repeat that you have shot yourself in the foot.......

Strawman arguments don't offend me, but then, they reveal far more about the one who posts them anyway.
Read the post that I was replying too... and if you didn't get it I was making a point regarding his idea that other countries love us for being in the Middle East.
You REALLY might consider making friends with either of Google or Wikipedia. How old are you, if you don't mind me asking? Oh wait, didn't you mention something earlier about college being a waste? Did you know you can learn about strawman arguments in college?

What you believe is irrelevant. Explain the 1400 years of Islamic history, please where they also hated the West AND the east and all non-Muslims and killed 270 million people.
Africa--120 million killed
25 million slaves. It's estimated that five people were killed for every slave captured. That's an estimated 120 million people. Islam was responsible for the slave trade in Africa.
60 million Christians. 9 million estimated to have been "martyred" by Islam and another 50 million died by Jihadists. In the 20th century, a million African Christians were killed
Hindus- 80 million hindus killed by jihadists in India. India is half it's former size due to jihad. The Hindu Kush means "funeral pyre of the Hindus"
Buddhists in Turkey, Afghanistan, India and along the silk route. . . estimated killed, 10 million
Jews- can't really estimate since the population is so tiny. But, the jihad in Arabia was completely effective. Numbers in thousands, not millions.
