Nov 20, 2010 - @pinkislander how much i agree with you. i lived in dededo for 12 years and i love guam. if the island gained independance it would slowly start to drain all of its assets, roads would go un repaired schools would close due to no mantinance. gmh would suffer. drug usage would rise. then what would the land be good for the torurist would leave and so would the money. look at the jobs that are opening because of the militairy. if they leave so do the jobs. not just base jobs.

Dec 9, 2010 - @DeltaEagle7700 Kiddo, I'm a Chamorro, and trust me, AlJazeera cherry picking and selecting the less than 0.1% of the extremist population doesn't reflect the overall views of the Chamorro population. The fact of the matter is, without the U.S. support and influence, Guam will be nothing more than a rat hole with no maintenance for infrastructure. Tourist from Japan, Korea and other surrounding Asian countries will stop coming to Guam if it's a 3rd world environment.

CATSHITONEMM Says:

Dec 9, 2010 - @ABookwormAndProud No, we don't want independence. We want the U.S. base here, although there is a danger of being a target from the rogues states in Asia, the economic and infrastructure maintenance support that the state gives us is too enormous. Those asking for independence are the less than 0.1% extremist group that AlJazeera essentially cherry picked out. This short documentary simply disgusts me as a Chamorro. We are proud of our Chamorro heritage and we are proud of being an American.

CATSHITONEMM Says:

Dec 9, 2010 - @TheSideShort Kid, calm down. We Chamorro's are Americans as well. It's the less than 0.1% extremist population that AlJazeera is high lighting, that's all. FYI, we lost our language since the American's took over control from the Japanese. We already lost our language so it doesn't matter if we spoke Japanese or English. No seriously.. And although we are greatful for the liberation, we don't appreciate a fellow American like yourself looking at us as non-Americans.

Jan 6, 2011 - @rqflores what you said is what the American does to countries such as Pakistan, China, Russia, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan etc. What goes around comes around I guess?

Jan 31, 2011 - When I was stationed there the only people who had a problem with us were the little MMA wanna-be tuff guys. People who study history realize we LIBERATED the Island TWICE. The shirts that have I Love Guam then I Heart SPAM on the back is due to the America's feeding the Chamorro people with what they had in thier rucks and supplies.

Feb 9, 2011 - @WMEC38 the president of the phillipines or whatever they call it there is filipino...yet they have one of the most corrupt governments and that is why they are a 3rd world country.....the u.s. rapes guam of their land and doesnt give them any compensation...you must not know anything about that...

kingjamessolja Says:

Feb 9, 2011 - @ozzyz929 so does that mean the government can just take their land without even compensating them? that is entirely against what the american constitution is about....and what is it to be liberated when each government commits rape...spanish, japanese, and american...the u.s. could give a fuck about guam as much as japan or spain did...its all about power...maybe thats why all those mma tuff guys wana fuck up ignorant people like yourself who are brainwashed by the military

Mar 8, 2011 - I guarantee that the people in this video either work for government of guam (funded by USA) or are recipients of foodstamps/public housing (funded by USA). Government of Guam somehow employs 60 percent of the population. Also, more than 60 percent of the population of Guam receives assistance in the form of food stamps or housing. This is bullshit.

Kanoki989 Says:

Apr 9, 2011 - Are these people stupid? The US military base is 26% of the island, think of all that business that goes to the island SOLELY due to the US military and they don't have to worry or spend money on their own defense. You guys don't get to vote because you're not a state and you have to few people to become a state... >.>'

ineedsomescrilla142 Says:

Apr 13, 2011 - they should stop complaining about the US govt and americanization since they are glad to take the foodstamps that we americans are paying for, and all the money the US govt gives. i see so many chammorros on foodstamps paid for by the us govt+ the us military being 26% = what 50% of the money is fucking funded by the us. the fuck is this bitch complaining about. i bet she and her fam is on foodstamps too.

ineedsomescrilla142 Says:

Apr 13, 2011 - @kingjamessolja compensation? that woman is probably on foodstamps, and welfare, with her 50 children and grandchildren. take their land? my ass i bet it wasnt even the us that took it, but gov guam that took it from them and sold to the usa.

ineedsomescrilla142 Says:

Apr 13, 2011 - @kingjamessolja hmmm, the u.s rapes guam? how? from what ive seen, guam rapes the us citizens and takes our taxes so that they can sleep all day and get fed by their food stamps that they spend on chips and soda

hop208 Says:

Jul 8, 2011 - @CATSHITONEMM I stumbled across this video while looking at arguments for and against Guam's statehood. Since your Chamorro, do you think Guam should be made a full fledged state like Hawaii? I mean, it already seems like the US there and the people of Guam are already American citizens. The pop. is already higher than many states were when they became states. Delaware's pop. was under 100,000 for almost 100 years after statehood. I live in Pennsylvania, just wanted to know a locals opinion.

Sep 22, 2011 - @ineedsomescrilla142 the people of guam pay taxes to the US gov't too. get informed before you make your obvious racist fueled remarks.

mraejulian Says:

Sep 22, 2011 - @Kanoki989 are YOU stupid? the military NEEDS guam because it is the most strategic location in the pacific. people from guam are americans too and have fought and died alongside people from the mainland US. japanese tourism is the main source of money coming into the economy. we dont depend SOLELY on military business. it's sickening to see all the bigotry within these comments. you people need to get informed before you go making ignorant statements like these...
