Is this a free country or a police state?

[Hans]

No, I think you post anti-US threads because you're an attention whore and you know that's the only way anyone will ever pay attention to you. But I also think that you're secretly jealous of us and our way of life; so you lash out like this in a futile attempt to pretend that isn't true.

preach the the choir.

You have 320 million out there and we are just 5 million. We are resilient and easy to manage. You hav mountains of never ending problems to tackle. God bless America.

Singapore has problems as well, you're just not allowed to discuss them.

Like I mentioned in another thread we are the world's 5th wealthiest nation. No country is without problems. With stong finanacial standing our problems are minimal and a small nation like us is financing US debts.:24::24::24:

The U.S. is a free state, but, with the advent of Homeland Security not as much......

Wealth is not the only criteria to judge a country by. Things are fine and dandy until you are one of the one arbitrarily locked up and the key thrown away.

You are narrow minded cuz you think the pinnacle of success is purely based on freedom and democracy.

 

[Accountable]

Nah, just freedom.

 

[kelvin070]

Nah, just freedom.

Rigid minded people who seem to think that the constitution laid out by the foundng fathers is the most perfect document.

First Singapore barely qualifies as a Nation. It is a Island City State or a Microstate that can barely be compared to any other Country as far as regional size or requirement for a Government to run other then Monaco or the Vatican.

Second, without the US, you would not have an economy.. But I guess you would not care if the US would get rid of the USSFTA Agreement.. Perhaps the rest of your countrymen would want your privates on a stick however..

You guys dont really dont know much abt singapore. We are not like N. Korea. How could we be an US alley (is the spelling correct) if our democracy, freedom and human rights is questionable. Bush visited Singapore 2 times to seek advise about Asia and Obama vsited Singapore once.

I don't think those factors you mentioned are a prerequisite for being an ally of the United States.

Kelvin, why do you hate the US so much? What have they ever done to you?

I don't hate anybody. We are from different continents, diferent culture, different value systems and obviuoslly we dont see eye to eye on many aspects. I can easly be a Mr Nice Guy but thats hypocracy.

Why would being Mr Nice Guy be hypocrisy? You're not a nice person?

By Mr Nice Guy I mean I can pretend to agree with forum members abt the 2 wars, protectionism, human rights abuses in singapore and be a 'Yes' man for everything you guys say.

No one would expect nor want you to do that Kelvin. Be yourself.

I'd like to still know what you have against the US? Why are you singling the US out so much? (especially given that Britain is complicit in all of your complaints against the US)
