Re: GIGI – She's not "very educated". And since she has been surrounded by asskissers, she has no sense either.
i totally agree with her, she's right about everything.
for all you haters, she isn't bashing U.S.A but the government. that's a huge difference.
one of the reasons why U.S.A is great is because of its freedom of speech, so give her that right and stop your retarded "love it or leave it" attitude.
Re: Kym – JUST LIKE A DAMN REPUBLICAN TO GET MAD WHEN SOMEONE SPEAKS THE DAMN TRUTH. EVERYONE IN AMERICA KNOW THE COUNTRY DID NOT START HAVING DEBT PROBLEMS UNTIL REPUBLICANS TOOK OVER. YOU EVEN HAVE SOME REPUBLICANS TURNING AGAINST EACH OTHER AND ARE SUPPORTING THE DEMOCRATS. PEOPLE IN AMERICA ARE FED UP WITH HOW THIS COUNTRY IS RUNNING AND THEY WANT A CHANGE NOW. IF MCCAIN CAN DO IT, GOOD FOR HIM BUT I DON'T SEE HOW SPENDING MY DAMN MONEY ON A WAR FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS IS GOING TO CHANGE ANYTHING; THE ONLY THING THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IS MORE AMERICAN CITZENS ARE GOING TO BE DYING AND THE COUNTRY IS GOING TO BE MORE IN DEBT. COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD ALREADY SAY THAT U.S. IS IN A "GREAT DEPRESSION". MAYBE THAT IS WHY JAPAN AND CHINA DON'T TRADE WITH U.S. REGULARLY LIKE THEY USE TOO, BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO LOSE THEIR MONEY WHEN THEY CAN GO TRADE IN EUROPE WHOSE ECONOMY IS STEADLY GROWING WHILE THE U.S. IS DROPPING.
except make millions for you you fucking old skank bag!!
She should try living in this country for more than 6 weeks at a time, maybe even vote in an election. It so easy to run your mouth, so difficult to do something that is more than a publicity stunt.
Cunt - lose your way to the US. Stay in England Bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANOTHER THING!!!! WE VOTED THOSE DAMN DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS AND THE SENATE BECAUSE THEY "PROMISED" TO GET US OUT OF IRAQ! LYING BASTARDS! THEY HAVE A MAJORITY IN BOTH HOUSES AND HAVEN'T DONE SHIT! THEY NOW CONTROL ALL SPENDING AND PUT US DEEPER IN DEBT!
WHY DON'T MY FUCKING COMMENTS SHOW UP, IS IT BECAUSE I THINK MADONNA IS A DOUCHE?
Lauren is an idiot who probably hasn't been outside the country to get a clear picture of who americans really are. Do you really think we give to third world countries out of the goodness of our hearts? Get real. We are imperialist! There's nothing we do without something in it for us. We used to have ideals or maybe we have always been trained to think that but we are heading down a really bad path. The begining of the end thanks to ignorant people like you.
America's involvement evidently led to the Khmer rouge's dictatorial power over Cambodia. Thus, the Khmer genocide took place taking over 1.5 million lives.
you are a moron if you think america is worse than baby killers, you too madonna. fuck you and i hope you rot in hell next to the idiot who condenses current day america into vietnam, a power word against the government…which allows him to live a total slothful grotesque lazy american existence. it is the people of this country who run the country not the corrupted government orifice.
in a country obsessed with britney spears, ape from arkansas, i am not surprised that madonna pulls a vast majority (or tom cruises alien religion for that matter) of you suckers into thinking your shitbag lives as consuming, polluting americans is a given and not a privilege afforded by your own ignorance.
the person complaining about vietnam…you probably don't even vote.
So true!
Re: SHUT DA HELL UP –
listen to yourself. you are a brainwashed slob.
you must think its a dream to be on the bandwagon.
only an idiot thinks republicans even want to trade with china, and ps. we are doing more than our fair share of that to this day.
why don't you complain about something true?
Right On Madonna!!
For you Naysayers - Madonna has every Right to Speak her Opinion in fact it is her Right!!!
Not only is she Correct - the U.S.A. has a traitor & war Criminal as it's President!! Your Grandchildren and Great Grandchidren will Pay for The Debts he will leave behind as well as his Crimes!
go back to England you ungrateful bitch. You make a comment like that in a lot of other countries, you`ll be needing more plastic surgery….they`ll beat your ass as well as other parts, honey.
This coming from a woman who had sex with Dennis Rodman and tried to remake the song "American Pie" with disasterous results. I think she's very bitter because most people still don't accept her in America.
It is Sick that Most of the people Here bad mouthing Madonna are American!
Americans Brag about Freedom of Speech - Why is Freedom of Speech only a Good thing as long as the view the person expresses is the one you ascribe to?? Hypocrites!! Not All Americans - Thank Goodness!
What is she talking about "our government"? It's not hers anymore as she's made it well known that she moved out of the US b/c she hates it and does not vote. Dumb bitch!
Re: SHUT DA HELL UP – Finally…an honest liberal here. Whatya think of your guys…you do know they're approval rating is even lower than Bush's. Of course you probably don't because the press NEVER talks about it..only about how much Bush is hated. You do realize that neither Hillary nor Barry are going to take our troops out? YOU ALL KNOW THAT RIGHT…THEY'VE SAID IT in case you weren't listening.
Re: Gary – Your Grandchildren will live in freedom because of what this President has started.
Isn't she a Brit now??? Shut up leave OUR country, bitch!!!!
Nice way to talk about Great Britain.
What? She's British, no?
That's no way to talk about the queen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh shut up!
Re: Lauren – I am very curious how and why you seem to believe you have some authority over this land….the U.S.A. This land was stolen from the people who should rightfully run this country. Do you think you are somehow more special, somehow have more worth than the "fucking ingrates around the world" (I'm guessing you mean anyone who is not white)? You need to get off your high, conservative, christian horse. It's so unbecoming.
I wouldn't expect her to know what a government does.
Madonhna -
with all your money you could be doing a world of good. But you have to get yoiur face lazered your hair with the perfect line of dark roots… and all the other bullshit. Please have the decency to DONATE ALL YOUR FUTURE EARNINGS FROM AMERICA TO A THIRD WORLd COUNTRY. oH YA just what I thought. Hate americans but sure love to spend our money. DUMB TRANNY BITCH!!
Bitch please! You and your old ass don't even live here in the USA. So take your fake british accent and go away already!
I wish that everyone who thought like this would put their money where their mouths are and leave America - PERMANENTLY. Madonna is such an embarrassment.
Why pay attention to this? She lives in a glass house that is tumbling down. Safe in her mansion…Her biggest decision is her outfit. Let me add to Eminem's quote…Nobody listens to OLD LADIES DOING Techno!!!!!!
Madge, aka: plastic surgery monster, made a fortune in USA, and then moved abroad to try to change her trailer trash image! Even the Brits don't accept her! But she is right about this administration! Bush and his cronies are THE WORST in US history! Let's hope our country can recover from their debacle!
Re: Sophia –
word sophia, word
The whore has spoken! …….Of course Madonna has no clue what the government does, she is a high school droptout! No education whatsoever! - The only thing she knows is to used her sex to become a very rich woman in America, so she can now pretend to be a " lady" in England.
Madonna we are not puting you into deb and we don't blow up countries, just for the heck of it. But this is a conversation you are not capable to understand.
You are a very rich a whore who stole a black baby to become "cool" at your age. Nothing more, nothing less…
Well that's because you're a pseudointellectual who walks around all smuggy, smelling your own farts. It's not like you actually read up on politics and history or take a few classes. You just go around, flashing your grandma cooch and making as many ignortant stupid comments as possible
She has NO IDEA what she's TALKING ABOUT and those here who AGREE with her are just as stupid! THE U.S. GOV'T GIVES MALAWI $35 MILLION IN AID EVERY YEAR!!! She made that stupid statement when asked what the U.S. Gov't can do for that country.
Ridiculous…I love Madonna but this is completely ridiculous, ignorant and simplistic. She needs to go live in a country where the government REALLY does nothing. People hold the U.S. to a higher standard than any other country and it is so stupid. We are so lucky to be living where we are living.
Re: Lauren – I agree. Though i'd put it a tad differently. Its like a trend to Bash Americans, they're cat gets hit by a car and somehow they're going to blame America for it. There is not one, NOT ONE, country in this world who hasn't done horrific things. I mean we can blame England and France for sticking Iran and Iraq together after WW1, yes it was COMPLETELY them. Or how about the some odd western nations that went in and carved out their sections of Africa without any regard to the people or land. Or what those islands and countries :coughfrenchguiana:: that the English and French STILL will not give up to the people? Oh world, you laugh at Americans, You cite American history, with your self righteous air, like your country has never done one thing wrong, like your country has never killed and oppressed people, like your country has never indulged in imperalism. Germs are responsible for the Holocaust, English is responsible for killing/starving millions of Irish, Italy had Mussolini, Russia Stalin *not to mention the millions he killed*, Germany started WW1 and WW2, Japan has the horric war atrocities on their hands, the list goes on and on and on and on. Yeah America was in Vietnam, yeah it wasn't right, and yeah you can probably cite lots of historical things we did wrong, but before you can cast your self righteous stone, take a good long look at your own country first.
Stupid bitch…among a million other things to be proud of, our government provides half of all food donations to the world (which I'm sure includes Malawi).
Madonna is not a HS drop out. She was a straight-A student! Look it up!
AMEN
To #40 Joe,
I can promise you Americans have far worse teeth than the Brits could ever dream of.
Doesn't she live in another country? Maybe she should defect.
Re: Lauren – THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an ignorant whore. If you feel that way, have the courage to renounce your citizenship.
you certainly are qualified to have an opinion of you are human and live on this earth. however, no one should take anything you say with anything approaching seriousness SIMPLY because you warble some half-ass disco tunes and have abandoned your country to live in another…..sit your clit-catcher ass down and shut up. you have no more insight than a trailer park welfare mother.
lol all those people bashing madonna.. you have sand in your vagina or just pissed off because she makes millions? lmao
go donnaaaaaa
Re: kate – look i love I'm not American but i love your country! and I'm not saying that my country has never done anything wrong (I'm brazilian by the way), we haven't been that active in wars but we tend to do things that hurt our own people. it's just that i think everyone from any country should be able to criticize their own country! most of the times we don't criticize (your country and ours) because we thing it just "sucks" but because there are things that we don't agree with and that we think should be improved (as everything can and should be improved) and because we care for it! you criticize things your boyfriend, frinds and family do not becauseyou want it to go to hell, but because you think they could be better people if something about them was changed!
I can't imagine what will happen to your country if everybody who voices their opinions is bashed and called ignorant just because they aren't blinded by patriotism and aren't condencending
YEAH LIKE MADONNA IS IN DEBT!! WHAT THE HELL DOES SHE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT?!
Re: Laurel – You have problems.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fellow Michigander!!!!!!
What a fucking retard. Our country has given more to Malawi than her alleged foundation. Her fake foundation has not given one cent to Malawi. She is so fucking stupid. d listed.com people is so much better than this ass kissing site
What an utterly IDIOTIC thing to say - I hate celebrities who live like royalty in this country (and who haven't finished college) mouthing off about things they are totally ignorant about. America isn't perfect but will these knuckleheads (and I DO like Madonna) SHUT UP?
then stay the hell out of the US
i wonder how many countries she can say that about and still have the people buy her CD!!! madonna is just a wimp. to celebs: give all the money you want to charities they don't need money they need PEOPLE to actually do the work!!
Re: JT – You are certainly well entitled as "Dumbest human being on earth" - Congrats
Re: Lauren –
You're just a product created by a daily over-dose of Patriotism, CNN, and the false self-conscious belief that the US is the best Country in the world. That's exactly what the US should change for starters- the pathetic thinking of 'We're the best there is". One day you'll realize you have become exactly what you're supposed not to be, - the worst kind of human beings on this planet.
Well..anyone that recognizes my name above knows I am no fan of this ego-maniac….and her fake brittish accents makes me cringe…but I have to admit….her interview where she said that she has so much and its only right to use it to make a difference in the world really is impressive..and now..her comments above are sadly true…..I still think she is selfish and horribly inward, but one has to give credit when credit is due……..
YESSSS!!! the womans smart… u gotta giver her that.. everything good the government DOES do for the people, can be done WITHOUT the government.. and we'd be a better place if the government didnt control everything it does… im sorry, but the way education is..especially in this country im going to need to pick where my kids go to school, and i dont need some government fucktard telling me where my child will belong. thats just an example.. but we dont need government as much as they make it seem like we do…
See, this is what happens when you take too much Latino cock. She has had her brains fucked out. Now, she is with some uncut English poof trying to sound intelligent.
Madonna is irrelevant. Her music is irrelevant, her politics are irrelevant, her existence is irrelevant. She doesn't have the sense to disappear quietly - she'll be talking to hear herself talk as long as anyone will pretend she matters.
ok madonna, if you realize that the government puts its citizens into debt, why the hell do you overcharge on your tickets?? you're just another greedy capitalistic c*nt.

I eat BM and a lot of it. It is very filling has lots of fiber and if packed with peanuts and corn it is so much more nutritious! Dense, delicious and delightful, it also comes in a variety of earthy colors so it make a splendid presentation on your plate. If served chilled it will firm up enough so it can be sliced or diced and served with toothpicks as an appetizer. I'm eating some right now. Bon Appétit!
Spoken like a true celebrity, what and IDIOT! Maybe she'd like to live in Kabul or Techran and see if she still thinks our gov isn't doing anything. US citizens exp freedom and opportunity like no other nation. I hate when celebutards speak on issues they know only a small inkling about.
Re: carl – iraq was never a threat to the U.S. we just bombed them cause the first George Bush couldn't get the job done and even then it was all about oil. what the hell do you mean "Clean the middleeast"? you don't think that members of al-queda reside in nearly every continent on this earth?? let's clean up the whole earth then. everybody polish your bicycles and start pedaling gas will hit $200 before the summer. "God bless the mess we call the U.S"
Re: kian – per barrel bitches
Wow lost a lotta respect for her. If she lived somewhere else in the world and said that.. she would lose everything. So be happy you live in a place that gives you freedom and protection.
Fuck you Cunt! You have made millions from this country and now you trash it. Nice - now you going to exploit the black kid you "adopted" from Africa. You are a piece of shit. The Clock is ticking on how long it takes Lourdes to go into rehab along with Mike Jackson's kids.
Gee, put US into debt? I wonder what Madonna knows about debt?!
Re: tara –
The average American will not watch the movie because the average American is an idot. Instead of actually getting educated and learning a little about the situation, the average American will work to the bone, make the filthy rich richer and rthen at the end of the day spew their patriotic bullshit. The rest of the world laughs at how stupid Americans are, letting their government screw them over like that!
What our government does is allow ungrateful bitches like Madonna have the freedom to talk her garbage. In another country like Iran to name only one, if she spoke out against the government she would disappear in the middle of the night and no one would see her sorry, pseudo-intellectual ass again.
Guys, you should all know that her IQ bigger than Bush's(!), she pays more bills and charges than we all…. and, oh, she DOES live in the US at least 4 months an year.
Doesn't she live in England? I wish some of these whores would read My Country Right or Wrong. If you don't like it we at least have the freedom to speak for change and vote for it as well. Making statements such as these only contributes to the problem. She probably isn't even registered to vote in this election.

How ironic, from someone who does the exact same thing in a different hat -the music business.
It's all about greed and ego, honey, and you've got just as much of it as those you throw stones at. Maybe even more.
I love it how Americans so endlessly defend their country only because they have had patriotic crap drummed into their tiny heads. They cannot even say one bad thing because they will be deemed as a trator. No matter how crap things get they have to keep repeating how great their country is like a parrot. Meanwhile they don't even have proper health care, meanwhile third world countries have better healthcare. What a joke! Also, the government supports the rich and disregards the poor. Norway is the best place to live in the world. That is a FACT.
I see a bunch of ethnocentric people who think they are patriotic here
think about what bush did to other countries
mind your own business america
What a dumb bitch. I hope there was more to this statement than some random ass dumb bitch quote.
Well…Madonna….maybe if you spent more time in this country and did some research, you'd know that we have contributed more than any other country to assist with world issues.
No…we aren't perfect, but your comments are not helpful. They just make you look more ridiculous than you did when you did your "Erotica" book.
If you want to help children….start with those in THIS country…not Africa's.
Nothing against Africa…but if you are going to bitch about the country that made you a fucking star….then give back to that country.
Not gonna buy any of your albums.
And yes….I've bought a LOT of your stuff in the past.
And I have to say, it is NOTHING compared to your breakout album…
Your shit SUCKS now.
Sell out.
She's entitled to her opinion, however I think Madonna would be better off commenting on things that she knows about. America is known for more than that! We are known for Madonna after all.
ok MADGE, you asked 4 it….what has this country done for anyone…?? well lets start with you…it allowed a nobody with a gapped tooth and a horrible singing voice (I mean lets get real), to become a mega superstar, and what thanks do you have for the place you were born, raised and made most of your $$$, none… we have our problems here, but this country is and always will be the best, the strongest and most of it is paved with gold, you should know that MADGE, it leads right up to the doors of all 50 of your houses….
You owe this country and all of its PROUD AMERICANS an apology, including me, who dressed up as you several times for HALLOWEEN, gummi braclets and all….you make me sad MADGE…. and please loose the British accent…YOUR NOT BRITISH…….maybe your just getting old and confused.
Doesn't she live in the UK? They are her government.
by "our" government, which one is she referring to?
Re: cybergins – We would love to mind our own business but unfortunately their are a bunch of sniveling, cowardly, girly men where YOU live that always want us to fight your battles for you. I have an idea, why not grow a set of nuts and take the curlers out of your hair and deal with places like Iran, North Korea or Syria yourself. Coward!
So overwhelmingly true. Oops!
Is the "our government" referring to England or the USA? I don't remember which country that she is professing to be a citizen of right now…if she cared so much about the USA, she would have adopted one of the very needy foster children here…
Re: SHUT DA HELL UP – Just like a dam democrats to think that you only speak the truth! Who the hell do think you are? I am sick and tired of people making me feel guilty for my beliefs, I think god has a place in schools I recite the pledge of allegiance with vigor! I am looking forward to the next election when AND if a democratic wins i can put a sticker on my car that says 'don't blame me I voted for McCain' or he's not MY president. I am so sick of you high and mighty Democrats I could puke. Understand you are not the only ones with opinions and thought and if you can grasp that then move to anther country , but i hope your male because that's the only way you will have an opinion, unless you have help from America
SO SURPRISED NO ONE HAS MENTIONED MADONNA'S NOSE JOB - SHE HAS A BUTON-NOSE NOW!

She is so right. Time for you people to accept the fact.
Is this coming from the same woman who used to screw dogs!? Please, you pretentious old hag. Maybe all the silicone and botox has clouded your brain. My country donates billions in aid (whether by money, food, or medicine, etc) each year (and forgives their debts) to these ungrateful countries with their fat tribal kings who squander away whatever is given for their poor and sick citizens. I think people need to stop blaming the US for other countries problems, in particular the whole continent of Africa, and start laying blame on the rightful prepetrators! And what do you care about this country's economy!? Your money's probably sitting pretty in an off shore account somewhere.
Re: Shana – OK Einstein…answer me this..if the whole world hates us and laughs at us, why do people risk their lives everyday to come here? I'll be waiting for you answer. MORON.
LMAO americans dont even know how bad their country is! only 18% of americans have passports!!! and most of those only travel to canada!!!
LMAO u think ur the best country? u think u have freedom???!?!
haha ive lived on almost every continent on earth, and ive seen places in europe, japan, australia, south america!
let me tell u, america is not free!
its all propaganda!
GET OUT OF UR HOUSE AND TRAVEL! go see the rules in other countries!
its so much more laid back , and the GOVERNMENTS ARENT PUTTING CHIPS IN PEOPLE LIKE IN CALIFORNIA!!!
I don't think any of you dipshits who voted for Bush for the past TWO elections have any right to bitch about his administration. Shut the fuck up already, YOU voted him as President twice. Now you're all bitching about it? Gimme a fucking break. That's what pisses me off about Americans who voted for him. Okay, so the first time is forgivable. Then we're in a war with Iraq (for what?) when really, it's Osama Bin Ladin that we should be looking for. Then the second election comes around, and by now Bush offically sucks balls as president adn he was re-elected. YOU DUMB FUCKING AMERICANS, what do you expect?!! Btw, yes I'm American for any of you who will undoubtedly question my "loyalty to America". The truth is that Bush is Satan himself who has run America into debt by fighting a war that didn't need to be started in the first place. No wonder why other countries hate us. America is facing a recession. WAKE THE FUCK UP ALREADY.
Re: kate – Amen sister. But then again, they're all ignorant…know nothing of history. They mimic what they're told to say, because that way they're part of the cool group. Kids are not taught history, they learn about it from leftist Hollywood who will film anything as long as it makes America look bad. Unfortunately, they vote too. I truly fear for this country.
ummm that statement makes it incredibly clear that she knows nothing about American politics
