As I said, most of the world hates us but they love our mulitary help, food, cash and whatever else we give them. There has been a lot of good true things pointed out here, by Americans who know and live here. Sure, there is bias in what Carl and the rest of the world see. All the crap the news media, Hollywierd, and so on spread, thank God most Americans are not like the dumbass that shot through the drive through, for example or the orhers comparable to him. I believe the biggest part of our country have sense and appreciate the right to protect or defend themself, and wouldn't shoot enyone unless they were really forced to do so. There are many reasons, as have been stated here, for our rights. Recently, Africa has been disarmed, many people lost their business and livelihood, and crime went high. For some reason they have been haveing a huge slaying of Christians over there. Look at how crime in Britan, Austraillia and other places who lost gun rights has risen big! A well armed malita, the people who live here, is needed for freedom and personal safety. Especially when our millitary is spread all out over the world! God Bless Them, when people hear and talk about this great country, they should carefully consider the source of info, and talk to some of us who live here before they decide and think they know. Also compare the size of population, has a lot to do with how things are! People should teach kids better, it sucks that a few people that shoot needlesly and just act plain stupid, along with the crap from Hollywierd, the media and other world officials that the world sees, is supposed to be example of us?! BS, that is not what this great country is all about. God Bless Yall
