Tiwanna: i think say this thread na 4 why we love america and not why we hate it? hmmm so the people who don't love America don't have a say in it? By the way, I personally never said that I hated America, I just said I thought they have very bad politicians who started war for stupid reasons. |

I think what miss-sweety86 was trying to explain is how bad the US has contributed negatively to some countries without the consent of the countries. You could imagin on reaching her explanation, another breaking news came in how a gunman who opened fire on shoppers at a Portland mall in the same US, which means miss-sweety86 has already written on the wall. . To me, i'll agree to a point from her points. US is so dangerous when it comes to intervention if a country is having problem on their own. Its non of US's business. Look at how they destroyed Iraq, etc... I'm sure if Nigeria is one of the countries the US has ever destroy, no one will disagree with miss-sweety86's point about the fact only in terms of the US claiming to enter your country to settle fight whereas they are only there to steal from you and cause lot of Gobe plus Wahala there.... Secondly, about the SWITZERLAND, i will agree with Justwise.. Switzerland returns $700m Abacha’s loot to FG, but the question is 'AFTER HOW MANY YEARS'? Why now? Why not before now? The Switzerland Gov should be questioned why the return of the $700m now after how many years? Why not immediately after Abacha's death? even though the money would definately be more than that. 'thief wey dey collect money from thief' If you're not a criminal, why are you accepting dirty & unclean money from criminals? Various categories of persons including Popes, presidents, prime ministers, corrupt dictators, wealthy business men, and drug dealers have all used and benefited from the banking secrecy laws of Switzerland. As a result her economy has been described as an underground economy, a deposit box for dirty money and a “dirt-driven economy”. So what are we saying? THIEF IS A THIEF. You don't care where the money was coming from, buy you care in accepting the money and using the money for businesses for your own interests. Why must it be like that? The way the UK Gov contacted the Nigeria Gov when they discover that our governors stealing our money to their country and prosecute them, should be exactly the way the Switzerland Gov should have done, and this will make us realise that the Switzerland Gov are of no interest in accepting those money brought by those criminals from Nigeria. Western governments have argued that dirty money in many forms welcomed by the Switzerland allows the proceeds of corruption, drug trafficking, racketeering and terrorism to tag alongside and deny the world´s poor the chance to escape poverty. Swiss banks are reputed to be holding an estimated 35% of the world’s private and institutional funds (or 3 trillion Swiss francs)”. It is time for Switzerland to turn words of fighting corruption into action and deeds and repatriate all the stolen money to its rightful owners and stop parasiting on poor African and third world countries so they can also have the opportunity to escape poverty like most citizens of Switzerland have. ABOUT SWITZERLAND WAR, i beg Switzerland sabi war pass America sef 1460 Swiss Conquest of the Thurgau 1468 Swiss-Habsburg War 1474-1477 Burgundian War 1499 Swabian War 1499-1504 Milanese and Neapolitan War 1508-1509 War of the League of Cambrai 1510-1516 War of the Holy League 1513 Luzern Peasant War 1529 First War of Kappel War between Zürich and the Five Cantons 1531 Second War of Kappel War between Zürich and the Five Cantons 1536 Bernese Conquest of Geneva http://www.zum.de/whkmla/military/italy/milxswitzerland.html http://www.swissworld.org/en/politics/foreign_policy/neutrality_and_isolationism/ http://www.funtrivia.com/askft/Question106547.html So, Switzerland don kill plenty innocent people sef. Our prayer be say make God help us stop all these war issues O! Justwise, i beg leave sister miss-sweety86 alone O! maybe she no really get your point too.. Make una enjoy una weekend O! Me i dey enter town O! |

Plus at that time it wasn't Switzerland as the political entity it is now. So it cannot be compared to America because the history is more important considering America is quite a young country. So I think it's very wrong to compare the Swiss wars to the American wars. No the same purpose, not the same extent, not fought on similar territories (Switzerland fought on his territory or with its neighbours while America invaded many countries). Regarding the money: I'm not specialized on that issue, but the money was returned, so it wasn't stolen! And the banking system doesn't reflect 100% of the political culture of the country. And now we're changing our banking system to prevent fiscal evasion. And I don't think it's because of Swiss banks that African citizens are still poor! First you should blame your own governments for being so corrupt before you start to blame others! Plus I know that Switzerland has many development projects in various countries, so it's not like we enjoy your money while we leave you starving! |
Re: Why Do You Love America? by dotcomnamename: 5:57pm On Dec 15, 2012 |
miss-sweety86: Now, you're getting me wrong too. It's non of my business whether the money was returned or not. My point is ''Why the return of the money NOW? Why not before now? Where was the money for all these years? Pls answer... Secondly, It's non of my business whether America killed billions of people than Switzerland.. But the question for you is: Has Switzerland ever killed people before during war or not? What's the word PEOPLE mean? more than 1 innocent soul? U need to udnerstand my point sister ! I never disagree with you about US's war comparable with Switzerland war. WAR is WAR. Can you predict one might not be killed during any war? No ! Don't even talk about banking issue with the bank issue. A THIEF IS A THEIF. Why are you accepting money from Switzerland a parasite feeding on developing world? Over the last couple of years countries such as United States, Germany and France have argued that they have become victims of Swiss illegal financial activities As monies meant for development are stolen and stashed in Swiss Banks, the poor are left on their own to fend for themselves with aid agencies being left to pick the pieces with them. Millions have died, millions are starving and many more are suffering as a result of the role played by Swiss banks, real estate agencies and other companies. In this 21st century such suffering cannot go on forever. Switzerland cannot continue to be a willful accomplice in crimes involving the death of millions of children and women. But Switzerland has had it both ways with her hypocrisy and double standards. Her politicians condemn corruption in Africa and the third world while her banks make fortunes off that corruption. Why must it be like that if SWITZERLAND herself is not a confam CRIMINAL? .... haba, think about it too now... I don't think there is a need been biased anyway ! |
Re: Why Do You Love America? by Nobody: 6:10pm On Dec 15, 2012 |
A war fought by bombing people's house isn't the same than a war fought with the weapons they had in the 16th century Anyway, I'm not gonna argue with you or anyone else because first of all you have a biased point of view, second of all you don't get your information from reliable sources, third of all you are mixing so many levels, fourth you only take part of the story into account and that it makes impossible to discuss anything with you. |
Re: Why Do You Love America? by dotcomnamename: 6:26pm On Dec 15, 2012 |
miss-sweety86: You're very funny... Are you a Fally Ipupa? Do i look like Awilo Logomba? Clearly i'm not biased. Clearly you are biased. Honestly it's non ma business who's war more critical.. Soul is Soul.. Are you saying Switzerland should be counted as war free country? So, those war you fought, you're killing animals? not humans? You're very funny. You should be crowned the COMEDIAN OF THE YEAR 2012 |

To the glory of God, we've had successful transitions of many DV winners to the US. It will be a thing of joy if you can share with your fellow DV winners, what and what you have seen/encountered that further buttress your reasons for loving America. Is it what you see when you go for sight seeing? Is it the environment? @gunners4u, adzovia, jidedon and the rest...tell us your experience. |
