they just don't get it. We ARE a nation of f*cking morons. Thanks to propaganda channels like fox and limpballs, etc....we have morons TEACHING the morons to be proud to be morons.

What a nation of f*cking idiots. Yes, we are #1....with morons!

You know what we need to add to this? Ann Coulter and Laura Ingrham need to give thanks to the feminist movement that they regularly bash day in and day out.

@rob8910 And an incompetent moron like Obama gets elected by a populus that is both lazy and ignorant. He is the worst president since Carter c- a wannabe politician way way in over his head

@JCSLivesinGLENDALE Religion is dangerous garbage - It is responsible for more death, rape, destruction

and hatred than any other part of society. Atheism is real and constant and morally correct. Get rid of religion and the world will be a better place

@sniper6081 - I like most of your ideas about the police - they are definately getting too powerful and this tazing shit is bullshit. As for the governtment, I wouldn't say it's doing more bad then good, but agree it's doing a lot of bad. But what can we expect when the electorate is so indescribably stupid that a Sarah Palin can get 45% of the vote for VP, and has her name thrown around for 2012 without bringing the audience to their knees with laughter? I blame the people, not "gov't":

@rob8910 I never said that government was bad, but right now it is doing far more bad than good. Do I have to go through all the theft and killing again? I'd rather not talk about that shit anymore. Anyway, you're right that the people haven't been doing a good job at the voting booth. That needs to change. As for the police; get rid of the taser, stopping buying apc's and overpowered sports cars for them. Limit the amount of police that can be hired depending on population. How's that/

[rob8910]

@sniper6081 - I never get this argument from people like you. A government is required for a complex society. The American government itself does far more good than bad for it's people. Yes, politicians are often corrupt, but that doesn't make the institution itself bad, it just means WE THE PEOPLE aren't doing a very good job come election time, or when it's time to protest or demand accountability. There are dirty cops everywhere, yet I hear no cries to get rid of or limit the police force.

@cardcreekdesign How is mine a leap of faith? I don't have faith in the government. You do apparently. I must say that is quite a leap too considering the fact that the schools are terrible, the roads suck, your money isn't backed by anything, in other words they don't have it, and they're spending us into oblivion, not to mention the wars, the corruption, the incompetent bureaucracy, and the secrecy. Then there's the death of due process and privacy. Why do you trust the government exactly?

[cardcreekdesign]

@sniper6081 All I did was speculate on the same concepts you speculated on. It is no more a leap of faith than your claptrap.

[sniper6081]

@cardcreekdesign That certainly is quite a leap of faith you're taking there. All hail the all mighty state!

Just because something is government doesn't make it bad.

just because government regulates something doesn't mean they don't know what they're doin. Just because government proves for basic needs through welfare, it doesn't mean we don't have the money for it. Just because government "protects" your money, it doesn't mean it won't be there. Government is what it is, fallible, flawed citizens.

And it's better than trusting to profit motive alone.
