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

[n`gel]

Thanks, Mental... We needed to read that post. It's definitely a wake up call. Colonial Mentality is the worst form of mental sickness. It is very contagious and easiest to rationalize as reasonable thought. It is a humiliation of the soul which is so subtle, that those who suffer from this sickness do not realize they have fallen victim to it. Please keep writing with your peculiar style of waking. And thank you.

That you call peculiar style of waking? What kind of waking does he want to imply anyways? Calling Filipinos "little brown fu*k machinces" is quite offensive! Don't try to spread your stinking morality here in the country. But what can we do we're poor but it doesn't mean they have all the right to belittle us like that. Anywhere you go there are always "fu*k machines"...

I don't hate the US coz i'm with them with this Irq war but i don't agree with what you said mental slave. America is no way better than us! They can help us but not abuse us! Let us be their friends and not their slaves!

whatever!!

Any minute now ... mental slave will wake up ... and we should all welcome him to a new century.

Have Americans taken all your girlfriends? Many times in your post ... you keep going back to how Filipina women are used by Americans for their own satisfaction. Sorry to break it to you ... it takes two to tango ... maybe they still have women *** slaves in your era ... but women have to be asked today for us to get any amm ... satisfaction. There you go again with stealing resources ... you can't! The constitution forbids it. Don't tell me they put the company in the names of a few bums who know nothing. That doesn't happen. That isn't reality. That is conspiracy theory made by you. Conspiracy theory ... that is what it will be until you have facts to back up any of your claims. You belittle the Filipino process of making sure this doesn't happen.

You need to stop living in the past and live in the present. You don't know what America means. When you think America ... you think World War 2. You think slavery. You think oppression. You think colonizers. You think white. That is certainly part of American history ... but that isn't what America is today. America is a melting pot of all races and cultures. There are Americans from all types of roots ... Filipino-Americans, Iraqi-Americans, Chinese-Americans, Japanese Americans, etc. I doubt any Chinese-Americans will call any Filipino his little brown brother.

[st@rr]

mga pilipino, lisod disiplinahon.....kung badlongon, MASUKO.......kung pasag-daan, MOABUSAR....unsaon namanlang nato og asenso anang kalakiha?
i have to admit i was a leftist before, but i just came to realize one day that the government is doing their best to make this country prosper......OUR COUNTRY NEEDS SERIOUS HELP.....and america is helping...i'm even thankful our government is welcoming that help...."little brown fu*king machines?" every country has their own "fu*king machines."

Wilson: you don't have a slight idea on what you posted gyud.....they leave the country because this country sucks? well if you think our country sucks, why not leave as well? wake up and smell the sikwati.....they're leaving the country because they're looking for good jobs to FEED THEIR FAMILY. they may be earning a currency that's of higher value compared to ours, but come to think of it, they're spending that currency in that country too. PEACE

bro, what youre illustrating is the middle class of america. they are america's workers. but what you need to look at is the upper class, becuz they're the ones calling the shots. look at the CEOs, think-tanks, politicians (rumsfeld, wolfowitz, etc...). they are the ones creating policy and claiming the majority of the profits thereof. do they look japanese-americans, iraqi-americans, african-americans to you? it's very comfortable in america, and that's why most non-whites are satisfied with the illusion created by the hegemony. you have to look at american foreign policy and business interests in the philippines under a microscope. obviously you haven't visited the mining towns in benguet or bukidnon. before you jump head on to your love affair with the u.s., please visit these places because they're run by american corporations.

they're not your saviors, bro... and we certainly are not their 'little brown brothers' (unless you want to be one, but that's another matter all together ).
