I got that and I thought it was the most moving and true email ever! It's so true about how everyone thinks of our bad acts and not how we've helped. It makes me appreciate america even more and we need more support from other countries. We need help instead of "O, look what happened to the US, And on to other news.." It's sad it took this horrible tragedy to bring support to the US, and even to the end of terrorism.

Seriously people, you're making me cry. That's a very touching E-Mail, and we can be assured that almost all of the world is helping us and repaying their debts to America.

Yes, although those are rather nice words they were written quite a long time ago. You can find more information about it here: [url]http://www.rcc.ryerson.ca/ccf/news/unique/american.html[/url]

This email is often prefaced by asking why this isn't getting more press coverage. Well it's not because it's almost 30 years old. Please reply to this email if you get it and inform the senders of this fact.

Coalhouse summary...

America helps others, no one helps America. America will soon take over world with bombs and big buisness.


that's pretty much it...that and something about burning down all coasters in Europe that suck because they're US ripoffs.

[i][Note from mod: Ah yes, now I remember why you keep getting banned. Insults like that have no place here. One more and you'll be banned yet again.][/i]

Ok, first sentence, true. Everything else, false. America wouldn't dare try to take over the world, all that e-mail is saying that America aids those who need it but when America needs some aid then no one will help her, not that America is going to get revenge for that and bomb everyone everywhere, and not all coasters in Europe are US ripoffs, AIR, thats the first B&M flying.
