Re: Politics & Government
he did do something to deserve it, he has fostered international cooperation, across the board.
also, in CANADA, the banking system is much more stable than america, because of liberal reforms, in other words
i honestly wouldn't mind being canadian
great economy and stuff, except for getting pushed around by america, as it would seem.
we have a teacher at our school who works here, but returns to canada when school is out.
i bet its great there with all the wild life and nice landscapes!

Narrow view. Without government there's no society and without politics there is no peace. You may not like politicians but they're the reason that many potential wars get averted.
And I doubt Canada gets pushed around by us, more like they humor us. I believe their stability is less due to liberal policies as much as it is because they can actually agree in a single direction and not bicker for personal gain while they decide the fate of the country.
And that "fostered international cooperation" is an excuse. The reason he got it is summed up by one phrase I've heard repeated so many times: "OMG BLACK PRESIDENT!"

Re: Politics & Government
Rep Dray.
Theres alot of stuff floating around about America. But alot of countries still worship us. Like the Philipines. And kuait.
The sterotype view of Filipino's is that we are all white and rich. And if you see a American tourist in the Philipines you better marry him or kidnap him fast. Im always sending can food, cloths, money, and toys to my chncousins and family in the Phiipines.(im only half filipino and i dont look asian). I sent them a gameboy color many years ago, and a few more colors and advances, and the gameboy color is still amazing technology to them, Im talkin children from around the block come to watch this little boy play a gameboy color. And his mom has to take it away from him before he goes to bed. ANd we got to send him batteries because they are expensive in the philipines. Let me put it this way. Toiletpaper is a luxury in the philipines. So if you think americas bad go visit the beaners of the Asian community. They got bats and rats in thier hospitals, no airconditioning, nd they drink and smoke and gamble all night and watch cockfights. Outside every bank are two armed gaurds with shotguns and AK-47's because they are afrain of being robbed. THere are terrorists living everywere and kidnap americans and little children and hold themf or ransom.
Despite what people say i think America is one of the finest countries to live in today.

Re: Politics & Government
quality of life in America is indeed very good compared to other countries...but its their political and economic structure that brings about an absolute fail. And quality of life is held at loads of debt and the lives of millions dying worldwide just so you can sit back in our cozy rooms. Savor it while it lasts.

Re: Politics & Government
sounds like you want us to go down the toilet ilmare
i think that america sees too much responsibility on its hands, we are expected to do a lot for developing and neighboring countries.
politically, yes we have problems, two parties sucks, and economy is run by greed, which, in itself, can be good, for venture capitalism and stuff, but when this overruns capitalism, it fails, I.E, bankers and CEOs
i think that there needs to be a world wide coalition in which each country pulls their respective weights in order to provide for third world countries and developing countries and for, in all, a greener world, because this is a moral obligation to mankind and to the growing borderless world

Re: Politics & Government
Greed is what drives an economy, and in and of itself is not something that hurts an economy, what hurts it is when ethics are thrown away to achieve what your greed desires.

Re: Politics & Government
Greed is a consequence of survival instincts and society molding of the human subconscious. In actuality, the fact that our subconscious can be molded by society is a result of our survival instincts, as social living beings, seeing the opportunity for better survival chances by adapting into a society. This instinct keeps working even when we are integrated, for our subconscious is running for the safest situation possible for ourselves. Therefore, the higher you go in society, the safer you are, due to your importance and power. and thus greed is born, our need to be better in society, to satisfy our subconscious survival instinct. However, as a rational being, ethics get in the way of fullfilling total greed completion, and it then depends on the way the subjects rationality is molded. Does it let its greed and pressure push aside its ethics, or does it stand firm, and do the best to contribute to society overall?
The main problem is our overall narrowed view of the world. We will die, leaving nothing behind but maybe some memories. Our animalistic side still controls part of us, narrowing even more our view. In the long run, you can live with less a luxury, and by investing what you would invest in that luxury, by investing that in society, you improve overall for everyone. Multiply this attitude by billions, and society skyrockets its way to supremacy and extreme technological and ethnical advancements. But again, the narrowed view and subconscious control of greed on the most powerful of a society do not let this happen due to many reasons, the main one being subconscious fear.

It is said in the bible and im not putting religion first, but it says in the bible that man will destroy the earth. Humanity is destroying itself one little piece at a time. Now it doesnt really matter in my opinion who you put in that oval office or who you put in that lovely seat in the house, but people get too power hungry and get greedy for more power.

Re: Politics & Government
that's not necessary. There are good ppl in the world, but just have a look at a society at the average level. If u see a totally innocent guy who is going out of his way to do things for others and doesn't know abt 'fun' as in alcohol/dance/sex/ greed for power etc. cuz he's rather innocent in that sense, society labels him naive and makes fun of him, forcing him to change or to be shunned. Society is designed to weed out any potential pure hearted ppl as quickly as possible and that's why it'll be hard to find anyone decent to fill those spots. But there are good ppl everywhere, u have to find them. Chances are. they'll be lower class, not upper or middle
