America- the Brainwashed Nation

That is a generalization. It is when corrupt, incompetent governments screw up that they get it wrong. Don't forget that the US public voted for Bush. The answer is forcing political candidates, especially those standing for high office, to take tests and be bound to their election principles except in dire circumstances. Old Labour didn't screw up the NHS. Governments can get things right, if they have the correct ideas and commitment. People should not be allowed to stake a career on LIES and false promises!! !! !! !!

The world would be a much better place without such political mediocrity. Oh and I'm so glad that the Libertarian party will never get into office. Anarchism fails, and Libertarianism itself sews the seeds of societal breakdown. You just watch the Oligarchy and Monopolies erode workers' rights and create a new Feudalism. That of corporations buying out the government, and power determined by wealth. Ultra-Capitalism is Orwellian dystopia, and Libertarians' faith in liberty and skeleton government is only backed up by their wealth. Would you like to be poor in a Libertarian society? How would you like that?
How would you like seeing a loved one die an otherwise avoidable death in a developed country? Class facism, more than ever in such a society. It still exists to a smaller extent today, but Libertarianism should be exposed for what it is... class nazism. It must be stopped at all costs, and unbreakable laws set to safeguard rights that all rightful, law abiding citizens should have.

I apologize for flaming Libertarianism, but I despise it so.

I am not held to public belief or religion, much to your misunderstanding. I am a very deep thinker, and I can comprehend a great many things.

And purposeful government thinks better than the general population. People in general, and as a whole, are stupid, and need intelligent, benevolent, trained, open minded, but wise leaders to lead the human race. Yet human stupidity normally wins, and pathetic mediocrity prevails. I am for individuality, very much for it, but against stupidity and sheer greed. Banes of humanity, that hold it back, which shape the way people think in so many different ways, but are essential to the current capitalist system. Humans exploiting each others' flaws, in both beneficial and parasitic ways. Generally a government should regulate capitalism as such, draw the line as to what is and what is not acceptable, and save humanity from disaster. A benevolent government is unlikely, due to the sheer stupidity of humanity. Idiots such as Blair should be shot, they are comedians, not leaders.

I can say myself that I am human and have flaws.

Sadly I think the reason the bulk of aspies go toward the left isn't because it makes more sense but because its the most special-interest friendly side. One guy even mentioned to me in these specific words "Isn't voting for the right and having a disability being like a turkey voting for thanksgiving?" - that line of logic scares me because when someone's thinking like that its not even based on the realities of what needs to be done, its really all about them (nothing wrong with that when there aren't all kinds of issues going on in this world that are far more important than them or their momentary financial comfort). As a kid I had no understanding of how people could talk about communism or socialism like they worked, no idea how people could look at the US like we're more evil than despots when we're even far more lenient than many of the countries criticizing us and are the only people who seem to care so much what the world thinks of us but the more I've seen that end of corruption and what's been mentioned before, envy (we are human beings, we're jealous as hell of the person or group who has more prestige - take Hitler for instance), and the downside of religion and people just turning atheist in the last 50 or 60 years is that while the have no god in their lives (which is supposed to be the more rational choice) they have no wisdom or sense of what we are in that case and it lends itself to them still having real dreamy ideologies that when you test them under real world circumstances their ideas fall apart. Conservatives might seem mean and nasty to some but the difference is that while some might be fundamentalist weirdos most seem to understand the darker edge of human nature much better than liberals - thus they're taking actions on things because they have to whereas liberals, not seeing that, can't put a conservative's actions in any other context than that they're war mongering and evil.

Sadly too many human beings are basic and war mongering and when you get too buddhist and spiritually high-fallutin' you become too weak to defend yourselves - evolutionarily that's failure as a species, the stronger species (usually the less evolved and more barbaric) takes over, wipes out you and yours, and its a surprising thing to see than many atheists can't see it that way to save their lives. When people get all bent out of shape because they think if the one side doesn't fight then the other won't either - its heartbreaking but you have to just realize their kids (at whatever age), wouldn't understand, and what has to be done still has to be done if you want to protect your freedom to be you and their freedom to hate you and think you're the root of all evil.

America isn't a nation, it's two continents. Jeez...

Kinda like how venezuela is forcing the tv news outlets to preach only the truth according to hugo chavez?

American entertainment is original? You're f***ing kidding me, right? Do you not own a TV or something? American TV shows are all copies of previous shows, or parodies of those shows in attempts to appear intelligent. American movies are all either sequels, prequels, remakes, or unoriginal animated things. The entertainment here is sh**.

You misunderstood. If you've ever been to Europe, you'd realize they actually have very few of their own shows. They simply air all of America's shows/movies. In addition, how can you be too hawkish for AS? It effects people differantly. It doesn't define your personality, it only tampers with it.

well we have Neighbours and Coronation Street.
