  • The world is flat.. what a fucking dickhead.

  • Obama GW2 Reagan Bush even slick willie all cave in when it comes to doing the right thing by america

  • Tom Friedman is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RIGHT on it...

  • @iCommentatez I told a friend about my concept for a 'smart bomb' that kills everyone with an IQ below 100, and all the rest who are a-holes. He replied that I should be careful because I might be in those groups.

  • Yeah Jewish American New York Times journalist is most likely a Nazi.

  • Yes, he has gotten more cynical - because he's so frustrated at the core problem - Americans failing in their responsiblities as citizens. The solution, as Friedman says, already exists - a tax on carbon - but it lacks widespread support.

  • Is it just me, or has he gotten way more cynical than he used to be?

  • When you say about Pakistan, who's the "they", it's the people. The government there is more pro-Western than its public. Hard to deal with dogmatically backward people in a rational manner. When I say backward people it's not some racial/cultural superiority feeling... well it is, but I lump Western culture in with those backward cultures as well. To me, Finland, Denmark and Sweden represent not Western culture but modern culture. The USA, Ireland, Poland, those are Western and traditional.

  • So, your IQ is under 124? Dumb people are necessarily bad people? I say focus on removing corrupt leaders in places like Cameroon, Guinea, Burma, Afghanistan, Niger, Congo, Pakistan (we help Pakistan & they hate us for it) & many others, at least 25. We need to take most of our lessons from FINLAND, DENMARK, SWEDEN. The least corrupt nations of all. I say fuck the United Nations as far as some of their international laws we have agreed to. We could avoid most wars by taking out corrupt leaders.

    Most citizens in this country seemingly aren't interested in learning about the specific details of our changing economy and world. We need to initiate change. Americans need to watch these thought provoking, analytical programs, and read thought provoking books like "Hot, Flat and Crowded." If our citizens take the time to learn about or economic and environmental problems, perhaps such knowledge will lead to a heightened concern and thus help initiate necessary change.
