aeg... just reading your comments it sounds to me as if "YOU ARE A MORON AND A SCUMBAG." i love how all the trailer trash has to say is "If you hate your country", i think if u are a true patriot, then u critisize your country for its wrong doings and want better for it.

[Aegius]

I am willing to criticize, but not make up lies. No, we didn't invent AIDS and other crap like what is stated. And frankly, "fuck America" isn't loving one's country and is something that a piece of human filth would say. So he was the trailer trash not me and so are you.

Can you clarify the last sentence of your first paragraph? You describe an array of outlets for messaging and discussion and then suggest something would be unwise to do. I'm not clear on which method of expression may be unwise. I'm not picking, just confused.

[Aegius]

YT! and the internet arenn't the only forums for discussing ideas openly and freely. People can go do so in their homes, coffee shops, and any where else. There is talk radio, the press(that challenges the Bush admin. like crazy), and people protest or go to court. However politics is hot-button stuff, so it may be unwise to do so.

F--- the hysterical nuts who cry "fascist", "racist", etc. at the drop of a hat. God Bless America for being a beacon of hope and freedom.

Whatever. If you hate your country such as Bolivia to an extreme, you really should do the honorable and honest thing and pack your bags and leave. That's what I would do, but not what that moron DrRicoWest would do.

It takes centuries to establish institutions to create a just and decent society and only a moron or a nihilist would seek to overthrow them.

And yes, America exists, just as Canada, Russia, China and every other country does.

LOL really???

ok virgin, go back to getting ass fucked by the ppl pulling your strings. and how about you slow down when you type because i hate typo's and retarded ass patriots....and you're both lol get a life.

[Aegius]

YT! is mostly a cesspool and you are a moron. It takes centuries to build a stable, legitamite democratic form of government and free speech hasn't been violated at all. Finding someone who is antagonistic openly to Bush, Congress, et al, is like finding a grain of sand on a shore. Go to Canada if you have America so much. Yes, America EXISTS, just as Canada does and Mexico. YOU ARE A MORON AND A SCUMBAG.

[DrRicoWest]

We as Americans (or whatever we are) are privileged to have the internet on our side! We can spread our ideas and beliefs on how fucked up this "imaginary" country is.

Youtube is the only voice we the public have to get our message out there, because I dont believe in freedom of speech because of the things that happen to ppl that speak up. Fuck America and until we start asking questions and forcing answers out of these corrupt politicians we are doomed. Overthrow the regime of US terrorist
