MERGED: Do You Want U.S. Statehood For the Philippines?

[BIGMAN]

that's a character issue brad. change the character, and the nation changes.

What will change the nation is a complete overhaul of our system of government. We don't need the Americans to run the country for progress. We are as smart as they are. The only problem is our dysfunctional system of government. That is not a character issue Bro. If we will wait for the whole Filipinos to change character. That would take a century or 2 to happen.

very mature and politically correct statement... lol. You also did a good job of generalizing every american citizen....

If you have friends there or if you go there frequently, maybe you'll have a different perspective.




On the issue, the Philippines can do it on its own. It just needs good leaders. We were on our way had it not been for the WWII devastation, the Marcos regime and the current social divide and disparity of classes.

[Tirong-say]

If the US would agree to grant us statehood, would you think that it's in favor for the filipinos,
better think again,
we have our own race, it's our very own obligation to uplift it the best we can, we are the only ones who had that true aspiration in giving the philippines a better or else a more progressive and ideal future.
It's quite hard to acheive this by begging towards other country culture to adopt us,
frankly speaking, they don't have the reasons why they should be.

Wow, you claim to be an ardent "pro-lifer" on the other thread, but here you are advocating the bombing of innocent people. Your intelligence just oozes from your prejudiced posts.
