And Britain doesn't lie to its people as well? Aren't politicians inherently crooked in one way or another? They don't teach to love your country in school too Nak?

Nak, if  you sense you are generalizing, don't do it, because I am far from a diehard Uber USA patriot, but the whole "Non-US our crap don't stink" attitude rubs me the wrong way.

Oh no no you misunderstood tybo.. every government lies, it has to, there are certain things that it cannot say.

The english government lies on a regular basis, but, i can see it, and i dont care.. im able to vote but i dont and do you know why? Because who ever i vote for, it wont matter.. im still gunna get screwed over in one way or another.

I think for america, choosing kerry over bush in 2004 would have been the lesser of two evils.

I wouldnt say its the "cool" thing to bash USA.. but isnt it funny how the rest of the world .. is? surely there must be a reason for it o_O

As i said before, i dont think americans are stupid.. they are just very easily influenced.
Having not lived in america im not sure why this is.. id hazard a guess at patriotism because that features heavily on american daily life..

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag
     of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
     one Nation under God, indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all."

maybe its religion?
isnt your president supposed to be neutral.. yet he is diehard christian?

america and its peoples attitude is why everybody is turning on it
"you dont support america, your a terrorist sympathizer!"

america wants to be bigger and better than everybody else, yet compared to everybody else america is still but a child, who has a great deal to learn.

i just hope they get sombody better and not worse than george bush in the years to come, because if you do get a worse president.. im not sure how i should put this..

you're f**ked?

If anyone thinks that if Kerry was electeded president that any big thing would be different, they are wrong.  We would still be in the middle of a war, we would still be facing all the rest of the issues that we are with Bush. The president has so many commitements to special interest parties that they are really never making any decsions for themselves. Yes the President wanted to go to war, but it was CONGRESS that voted and made the decision too, yet Bush becomes the scapegoat.

Most politcal elections are just mudslinging contests and it honestly disgusts me.  We have a govenor election coming up here in Illinois and all the T.V. Ads are, "He did this blah blah blah" or "She did'nt do that blah blah", its truly terrible.  Ill be 18 for the next presidental elections and I seriously doubt I will vote.

if kerry were president and 9/11 happened, we might be at war today, but not with iraq. without wolfowitz, cheney, rumsfeld, and rove at the helm, the iraq war wouldn't have happened (at least not now).

because it gives you the right to bitch about it.
