And all I am saying is that American greatness is what made America big, powerful, and the richest if I may add. That is an inconvenient truth.
Makes me wonder, did any country have term limits before the United States?
I see no way to read her statement honestly as anything other than if the flag has been used in a racist context anywhere, it must be seen in a racist context everywhere.
Ah. So you're the biggest, strongest and richest. We were talking about what makes one proud of one's country. I guess we now have your criteria.
I can name several difference between the two...
Australia IS great, obviously. Totally punches above its weight culturally, economically. And weird animals to boot. Yep. Great.
I am thinking about a national level. But good info.Term limit - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
Which country was the first kind of depends on how you define it, but there were appear to have been countries prior to the United States that had term limits. Though when the first term limits in the United States were depends, again, on exactly how you define them. Are we counting term limits under the Articles of Confederation? Do state restrictions count or does it have to be something on the national level?
Tropical is one of the sharpest people in the forum. I think you're doing a disservice to her reading her post that way. It would mean that you'd associate the Australian flag atop the harbour Bridge as a racist symbol because you'd seen some white nationalists waving it at an anti immigrant rally.
One man had character. One man was honourable. One man had policies with which I disagreed, but I always felt he was doing the best for his country. One man I'd invite over for a beer.
I'm not going to support anyone's position that the UK (Great Britain is the island comprising England, Scotland and Wales) is a bastion of free speech. But to hold up the current US as a great example of it is, frankly, deluded.
It is absurd. But unless Tropical is going to rachet back her statement, that's what her statement means.
Which is another absurd concept. One I'd never heard of actually). But just because a few people hold to a particular absurd position doesn't make it any less absurd.
Thank you, sir.
Curious. Do residents of Northern Ireland identify as both Irish AND British?
Tricky question. I think it would depend on the person's politics. If one was an ardent Unionist then they'd probably declare themselves British and avoid being referred to as Irish because that might indicate an association with the Republic. They obviously are Irish because they were born in Ireland and the border is a purely political idea.
