What does that have to do with anything? So people are ignorant about politics. Let's educate them.
So why are countries that are so much older than the U.S. so behind?
What do you mean by "behind"?

And the question should be, if there are countries that are "behind" the U.S., why aren't we using our immense wealth and industry to help them? There is enough food in the world to feed everybody, but due to the unequal distribution of wealth on this planet millions die of starvation every year.
Think of the world as a large company.......some have worked there for thousands of years and STILL work in the mailroom....while others have worked there for only a couple of hundred years and are the CEO.
What?! You're comparing countries to people in a corporate hierarchy?! You're saying the US is the CEO of the world and gets to boss everybody else around just because it's more "advanced"? You're saying the rich white countries can boss around the brown people in the rest of the world just because they're richer and have more technology? Wake up and smell the racism buddy!
What other country gives more aid to others?
What other country wastes more money on its military? What other country initiates more coups d'état? What other country spends more money fighting the useless war on drugs? What other country imprisons more of its population? Just because we give some of our money away to make ourselves feel a little better doesn't balance out the huge inequalities that capitalism creates.
What's the difference between a liberal and a conservative?
A liberal makes excuses for lazy people! (to make himself feel better)
Er, okay...I'm neither liberal nor conservative, so I'm not sure what you mean by that.
Either way I respect your opinion..................................
Although some of you guys are getting WAY to worked up about this...
Sorry, it's just that global injustices like capitalism which are causing millions of people to starve needlessly FUCKING PISS ME OFF.

We have a right to get worked up about these kinds of things. Dare I say an obligation. If we don't get worked up about them, nothing will ever change. And if we don't change anything, we are subjecting our children to the same injustices we have to put up with. Inaction = surrender.
