@TAMARLANE The freedom and Democracy you're talking about is an illusion.

Though I do think America is doing very well compared to other countries. But yes we do spend a lot of money on military. But don't blame anything fully on America itself blame it on the government or the banks. America is probably one of the best places to live but trust me we aren't perfect at all. We are still young.

america needs to stop trying to be the worlds policeman. Our own people need help at home, these bankers are ripping us off. America was forced off the gold standard? The bankers pushed for this, and the wars too.

Fair enough, responsibility is a way to achieve order into "chaos" (no rule enforcement) but kind of weak and unreliable. And about your first sentence, things don't devolve into chaos, they would become chaos instantly: no rules means no one to stop the strong aside from the stronger.

I way prefer a government whose (ideological) purpose is to unite and serve majority (through true democracy) thus making people aware of a common interest instead of an individual one.

@sinekonata I am sorry that you two believe that if there is no arbitrary centralized geographical authority in existence that everything will 'devolve into chaos.'

Freedom requires personal responsibility. I understand your apparent lack of faith in humanity, but 'unless you are a federal bureaucrat, we're on the same side.' I'm not sure what central authority is like in Belgium, but the u.s. national government is out of control. States are another issue entirely...

Agreed my pov wasn't very constructive, it's because I get pretty sick of having to redemonstrate things that are so obvious. Kind of the same way I get pissed when (fortunately never in my country) I have to debate about darwinism.

On the other hand, your answer has absolutely no logic or sense whatsoever.

To get a good idea of what I think of the matter phoboskitty in your answers has almost said it all.

Well. America patrols the world with his army, and not just patroling. Maybe he diserves it.
