The ability to do and say whatever you want, so long as you are American.
Okay, so there was this company called the United Fruit Company that was an American corporation that traded fruits (especially bananas) to Europeans and Americans. All of the fruits were grown in South America (primarily Guatemala).
So one day the Guatemalan government turned away from capitalism and went to extreme socialism (almost communism, but not quite). Basically they claimed all Guatemalan corporations for the government.
Now, there was an American on the board of directors who didn't like this at all. So, what did he do? He got his brother (who happened to be the head of the CIA) to overthrow the Guatemalan government.
And why did he do this? So that Americans could enjoy cheap bananas.
Go figure. |

Of course, when referring to the freedom of our own citizens, we're pretty good about it. We've only ignored the first amendments 5-10 times, right?
But still. Our foreign policy is awful. |

This makes overthrowing a government sound easy.
But I agree, people can be real...rude when it comes to money. |

Normally it isn't, but come on, Guatemala was and still is a third world country. They're dirt poor. |

I know you're joking, but how does this relate to anything liberal? |

| This has nothing to do with political parties or ideologies. This is related to greed, the CIA, and fruit. |

Ya, Americans get upset for the most littlest of things. And they sue for almost ANY reason. -- This woman sued McDonald for making her fat,and she actually WON. So now, McDonald has to either tell you the food makes you fat,or show the calories. |

I heard about a case recently where this woman who was absolutely HIDEOUS got plastic surgery, and she ended up very attractive. She got married to this guy and had a baby, and the baby inheriited its genes from the mom BEFORE the plastic surgery. The man found out what happened, and he sued the woman for "marrying him under false pretenses."
Guess what? The court awarded him $100,000.
YEAH. |
