QuoteLOL... It makes me laugh, why do you Americans always think that the rest of the world wants to live in the US? But it's given me a good idea for a new poll!

Remember, we are 5% of the world's population. If wee stpe out of line as Germany, Japan, and Italy did in the 30's-40's, the rest of the world will, let's say, make an adjustment. Then all the John Wayne-type rhetoric in the world won't help.
5%, but obviously our military mite is disproportionately greater by far, but if Russia, China and India decided it was time to snuff the giant, they could. Let's keep things in a realistic perspective.
Kevin, Norway's extraterritorial application of their laws is not unique. Here in Canada our anti child prostitution laws are applied extraterritorially; if you go to Thailand to fuck the little boys and girls the crown is still coming for you.
The US is a country that practices extraterritoriality extensively, and not just against its own citizens. A basic example would be the heroin importing laws. It is against American law for me to import heroin into Canada( and against Canadian law to import it into the US). This is used to arrest people in international waters when they could argue reasonable doubt about which country they were planning on landing in.
Is it not illegal for you to fly up to Montreal and then go on vacation in Cuba? A couple of years ago congress wanted to pass a law enabling the confiscation of American assets of foreigners who were directors of companies that did business in Cuba.
The US may not regulate your behavior when abroad exactly the same as they do in other countries, but to say they don't do it is just wrong.
BTW: I can own a gun, drive a land yacht, and don't pay $7/gallon just like you. At least I don't think I do, how many inches in a gallon again? I keep forgetting

No bias here, looks like if you moved to the USA there's no option to stay
.
Wouldn't expect any more from the poster. The whole poll presumes there's something to be ashamed of. It ignores the stuning good the USA has achived since 9/11.
I'm admire what the USA has accomplished since 9/11, there's nothing to be ashamed of and no reason to even think of leaving.

An Ode to France
Eleven thousand soldiers
lay beneath the dirt and stone,
all buried on a distant land
so far away from home.
For just a strip of dismal beach
they paid a hero's price,
to save a foreign nation
They all made the sacrifice.
And now the shores of Normandy
Are lined with blocks of white:
Americans who didn't turn
from someone else's plight.
Eleven thousand reasons
for the French to take our side,
but in the moment of our need,
they chose to run and hide.
Chirac said every war means loss,
perhaps for France that's true,
for they've lost every battle
since the days of Waterloo.
Without a soldier worth a damn
to be found within the region,
the French became the only land
to need a Foreign Legion.
You French all say we're arrogant.
Well hell, we've earned the right--
We saved your sorry nation
when you lacked the guts to fight.
But now you've made a big mistake,
and one that you'll regret;
you took sides with our enemies,
and that we won't forget.
It wasn't just our citizens
you spit on when you turned,
but every one of yours
who fell the day the towers burned.
You spit upon our soldiers,
on our pilots and Marines,
and now you'll get a little sense
of just what payback means.
So keep your Paris fashions
and your wine and your champagne,
and find some other market
that will buy a French airplane.
And try to find somebody else
to wear your French cologne,
for you're about to find out
what it means to stand alone.
You see, you need us far more
than we ever needed you.
America has better friends
who know how to be true.
I'd rather stand with warriors
who have the will and might,
than huddle in the dark
with those whose only flag is white.
I'll take the Brits, the Aussies,
the Israelis and the rest,
for when it comes to valor
we have seen that they're the best.
We'll count on one another
as we face a moment dire,
while you sit on the sideline
with a sign, "friendship for hire."
We'll win this war without you
and we'll total up the cost,
and take it from your foreign aid,
and then you'll feel the loss.
And when your nation starts to fall,
well Frenchie, you can spare us,
just call the Germans for a hand,
they know the way to Paris!
The Pessimist says: "It can't possibly get any worse!"
The Optimist says: "Sure it can!"

Quotewhy do you Americans always think that the rest of the world wants to live in the US?
Maybe not necessarily 'the rest of the world', but there's got to be some reason we have to limit the number of visa's we issue.
Some countries have fences and border patrols to keep their citizens in - the U.S. needs them to keep people out.
People routinely die stowing away on aircraft, boats, and cargo containers to get into the U.S. I don't know many people risking their lives trying to leave here.

I don't. I think there are plenty who do, and plenty who don't. I dunno, perhaps that just makes me "fair and balanced..."

QuoteI admit that there was much more about Norway that I liked than what I disliked. The landscape is incredible and the people are great. No doubt the place is cool. (Especially in winter)
While I was in Norway, I read an article in a Norwegian news paper about a group of young adults that had gone on some sort of hedonistic pleasure cruise some where else in the world. Not Norway.
Apparently, some photos had gotten out and that's when the trouble started.
The young Norwegian adults were being charged with lewd behavior because their actions were against Norwegian law even though it was not against the law where the cruise took place.
I think you read about the party cruise boats, the travel agency hired for young tourists in Ibitza spain! No one was charged, but the travel agancy was investigated by news reporters, because they used dangerous party boats with no controll what ever happend to the young adults! It was a safety question rather than the young people did any illegal! The boat companies sell cheap night trips with free alcohol, and the servers push booze on the youngsters, more than they can handle often! Some sold the pictures to the news, and they had a perfectly good case with tits and naked girls on party boats! As you know skin sell alot of newspapers!
Now I don't smoke pot. If I go to Amsterdam, I know I can (if I wanted) smoke a joint and come back to the good old U.S.A and not worry about what will happen to me because I smoked pot in a country where it is legal.***
I think you know that smoking pot (public) in Norway is illegal! Kjerag is not only for jumpers, but also for families and other tourists, camping at the ground!

You assume to know me. I wouldn't make that mistake. Also you seem to think of yourself as a mind reader. I pose a simple question, that you see in it only neagtive conatations says more about you than it does me. 'Scotsman'

Not a bad effort but incorrect, for a start Spain also has a forigen legion and although the UK hasn't as such we do have Gurkha regiments from Nepal. We also have Fijians, Ozzies, Kiwis, Saffa's and Zimbabweans fighting in our army although not in regiments of their own.

Wrong on both counts but I know your posting record, it says a lot. Thanks.
As for your Scotsman comment in quotes with the crazy icon it's just more of the same. I'm proud of my nationality, thanks, and if my opinions don't match your preconceptions of how a Scot should think, tough shit. I know many Europeans who feel the same way about America that I do.
