Why are Americans so aggressive in all aspects of life?

Aug. 20, 2012.

Obama announces a "Red Line" on the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian Conflict. There is very little doubt that chemical weapons have been used so Obama will look ridiculous if he does not escalate. There are some questions about which side actually used chemical weapons but since Obama made such a specific statement about this he is bound to act.

I can only hope that the Syrian rebels are not playing us. I have to admit if I were them and if I were losing and if an American President actually laid out a specific and relatively easy to fake circumstance that would guarantee that the United States intervened on my side than I might consider gassing some random neighborhood to win my war. I am something of a sociopath but then so are most rebel leaders.

It's a lie that ALL Americans are aggressive in ALL aspects of life. Only a complete moron would come to any such conclusion.

It's a lie that Americans have disputes with our neighbors or all engage in litigation. Or that NO Americans EVER solve problems in a friendly manner.

Uh, ALL Americans aren't engaging in aggression toward Syria, nor do most of us support it.

Another way? Yes, getting all interested parties talking to each other, to find a resolution that avoids yet more needless suffering and death.

About Syria, no. They are part of the grossly overpopulating cultures who are again surpassing contemporary technology's ability to support the world's burgeoning hordes.

You are part of the "Euro-culture" (I include the British Commonwealth and North America in that) who stopped overpopulating a half century ago. Until other cultures still spewing babies at unsustainable rates began draining us a couple decades ago the common people in our societies were prospering to unprecedented levels. Now mostly Asian hordes of grossly overpopulating excess labor are literally devouring the economies of the world.

The world is again at the point it was a century and more ago when the Turkish, Germanic, Slavic, Celtic/Romantic, Japanese, and Chinese empires pressed against each other in places like the Crimea, the Balkan Peninsula, on the borders between the German, (French) Celt, and (Russian) Slavic cultures, and around the Indian Ocean. They all needed more land and resources for their growing numbers.

Today you watch swelling hordes in western and southern Asia again begin killing each other over land and resources as technology and its increased productivity again begins to lag behind the still exploding populations in those cultures.

About the litigation: The US began with very unusual for the world strictly moralistic, very self-disciplined ultra-Protestant sects (English Puritan Anglican and Quaker, Dutch Reformed, German Mennonites, and French Huguenots) settlements in British and European colonies (later to become all British colonies). They were socialist and communist enclaves who would usually settle things among themselves.

Since then, huge hordes of grossly overpopulating cultures -- first English and Scots, then Scots-Irish and German, then Catholic Irish too, and more of all those joined by southern and eastern European hordes near and into the 20th century -- flooded in, overwhelmed the original ultra-Protestants and eliminated most of the Native Americans.

The newer hordes were ever more family oriented and ever less community oriented like the original ultra-Protestant Euro-culture settlers had been. The successions of new ones were ever more inclined to grab all they could for their families and the increasing trend to litigation is part of that.

Only 10% of Americans support a war in Syria. For comparison, 65% were in favor of going into Iraq. Trust me, most of us are with you on this one.

I'm American and I agree with u but I'm also 11 and have no clue what I'm saying 😂

its just a bigger version of the same problems people face every day with each other . can we remove prejudice hate fear pride bitterness because its deeper then what it appears to be about

Most americans oppose the war.

I don't get why your country or mine even needs to get involved when both sides fighting in Syria are our enemy. Why step in and help one enemy defeat another enemy.

Young countries always are. It is how empires are built... and destroyed.
