We the People ARE the government.
Hate our government and you hate us.
Hate our government and you hate us.
So, you veto bills? You propose legislation on the floor of the Senate? No, Bart. You government is no more representative of you at times than ours is of us.
Feel free to hate our government. We elect them to represent us, but we know they don't. We won't take it personally if you show disrespect or even distain for our government. We know it doesn't reflect your feelings of us.
IIRC, As Samuel Clement once said "A government is a group of people who, by and large, remain ungoverned."

We don't elect the GG, nor do we have a say in who the GG is. But that role in government does play an important part. The GG is head of the Military, and has final say (veto) on all government legislation.

Wrong. He/She is a symbolic power. I advise you to read this. http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/governorgeneral/

I think it's the self centredness that some Americans have that make people dislike them.

Thats the kidneys. The liver produces bile salts and detoxifies our blood stream (very simplified). It is the site of metabolic breakdown of various molecules, the kidneys simply filter out stuff and reabsorb good stuff.

the world may hate america, but what a lot of non americans seem to no realize is that americans don't care that u hate them. america is the richest and most powerful country still, and they're not gonna concern themselves with what less influential and less powerful countries have to say.
Tman1 @ Fri Sep 09, 2005 5:16 pm
Actually alot of "non"Americans realize that and you know what? The feelings mutual. Nobody cares if America doesn't care, at least IMO. This same old "America is the most powerful" ..etc etc needs not to be rehashed over and over. Get some new material.
Constantinople @ Fri Sep 09, 2005 5:19 pm
The point of the quote is that people don't hate Americans.

what does that even mean?? nobody cares that america doesn't care? i understand the concept of double negatives. but here it makes absolutely no sense.

It's not a double negative, and it does make sense.
Those Americans who feel the need to constantly make known the strength of their country are acting like dickheads. We all know how large the American influence is, but using it as a threat or an insult is arrogant and unecessary.
