All for change...but not too much?

Why does everyone think I hate freedom of speech? If I must, I'll clarify.

He can say whatever he wants, I just won't read it or take it into account because it's OUR country. Especially when it comes to politics. This is the problem with our country....we're more than willing to let other nations help decide OUR fate, most likely so WE can help decide THEIRS. James Monroe is tossing in his grave, badly.

Besides, the majority of this thread is about American internal politics, not foriegn policy. I don't like having people who dont live here trying to get in on my country's political scene.

i bet u feel now why half those foreigners hate us now right?
the point is, whether u like it or not, thats an input an intelligent person will take into account. only ignorant characters and selfish ones say "its none of your business"

just get back to weed example: I love weed, its no1's business if i smoke it to myself, but i certainly take into account any and all information out there about it, whether false or true and will use both to better my judgment and decisions; the false ones only strengthen my beliefs and the true ones will have some role in keeping me inline: in fact its none of the govts business if i smoke weed, but in reality they are part of it and are considered a risk to my life in this regard, i better know what a policeman thinks about weed despite me disagreeing with his views and him being almost totally irrelevant entity to my personal life/decisions.

whether we like it or not or want to believe it or not, we have interfered with many instances of other countries' internal affairs and political situations and in some cases without having any interest in doing so just for sake of asserting our power. and we continue to do so. its a globalized world that we live and WE, the USA certainly impact other countries in many different ways, so it really should not hurt that much opening our eyes and ears to some alternative views from outside, although i give it to ya, they are not the ones who vote so they dont get to "decide" but our decision should better include as many factors as possible to be a good one and an educated one.

I'd like to share some views with you friends. Now, George Bush Snr. has already publicly backed John McCain. John McCain is nearly 100% carbon copy of *hitler*cough* excuse me, George BushEither! So that makes sense I suppose, if war and empire if your thing, shit on everyone else, go for it! So, just speaking as an onlooker, your options look extremely restricted over there. Rating: 5
