Newsflash: America has never been a free nation. Who knew?

Wow… I wonder what he considers all of those nuclear weapons in his country? Maybe it is not considered destruction if it is only enemies of Freedom (ie, anyone disagreeing with the USA)
How much longer do we have to put up with Bush?
Over three more years! Yee-fucking-haw!
I guess seeing how bad they have it down there makes us feel better about having Paul Martin.
They would benifit more from having a cow as a president.
Martin’s not so great, but in comparison we should feel lucky, I suppose. I worry we’re complacent in fighting against Liberals and Conservatives when we need to, though, because we consider ourselves luckier than Americans.
Yeah, with a cow there’d at least be a lot less bullshit in the whitehouse.

i just have to say that made me laugh so hard. (:
Great. I’m always happy to do my part to induce laughter.
I don’t believe true freedom will exist until we extinguish this concept of “nations”.
>That’s just me though. Perhaps I just like being difficult.
The concept of nations isn’t the problem, but rather our approach to them. We are always going to have certain political interests that are best served by regional devisions such as nations but we must also work for common goals as a world and recognize holism.
Thats true. Regardless of politics there will always be landmasses seperated by oceans. I do, however, think its gotten waayyyy out of control in places like Europe and Asia. A human could practically skip stones from one country to the next to the next.
Common goals as a world. Thats the best thing I’ve heard all life. I could literally cry when I think of how far the space program could be by now if we hadn’t been wasting the last half century killing each other.
I’m not all that enthusiastic about space exploration. I think getting our shit together on Earth is far more important. If we put an end to violent and needless conflict we’d be a lot further advanced in all ways, though.
I’m with you on the space exploration. I cry when I think about all the textbooks and food that the money that’s gone into wars might’ve gone towards. Rocket ships? They’re a little further down my priority list.
He’s such an idiot.
I also can’t stand how he always talks of this war “for our freedom”. Like Iraq is trying to take away our rights or something.
Or as if Iraq is freer being occupied and with women now forced to hide their faces more often.
