Almost as far fetched as the Highschool comment.

Where do people get these assumptions?

assumption?Its a fact

the average person on the street has no clue where Afghanistan is on a map

it\'s been proven

[CHIZZY]

I knew where just about every country on the planet was when I was 9.. then again, my granny gave me a National Geographic atals of the world for xmas when I was 8.

I also could read & write at 4. Typical farmboy shit...

Yeah (e), your giving people too much credit.

Yep and it shows how easily people can be manipulated by politicians when they are ignorant.Thats why many US citizens were paniced and found theirselves manipulated and victims of both their leaders and the terrorists.Bush administrator easily tricked the average person

 There are so  many things going on, on the outside world some people have no idea about ubfortunately.

But I am still optimistic that someday many things will be revealed.There are people that know, that fight to inform the average person.

And the New Orleans tragedy  showed partially the true face of the politicians

I love general statements like this.

 Government expenditures that should have been spent 30-40 years ago so that the city would be safe in case a hurricane would have endangered the area to flood was never spent.There were also many construction plans that the poor populated area of New Orleans would be sacrificed in case of flood so the area pupulated by wealthy residents would be safe.Talk about democracy and discrimination at the same time huh?


Billions spent on Iraq fighting a non existing terrorism(ofcourse Mr Bush sees this as a chance to improve his image so all his attention is pulled over there) , thousands in New Orleans shouting for food and water, Mr Bush was enjoying his vacation and Mrs Rice was shopping at the same time people were shouting and screaming for help.
 
People are currently been sent away from their homes in New Orleans even homes that are in good condition so that whole areas would be completely destroyied and rebuilt again.Construction companies having good affairs with the White House ofcourse are drooling over profitable possibilities in reconstructing New Orleans.

Some people are now protecting their homes from the police and soldiers.

I saw yesterday in TV  Americans in New Orleans being interviewed and they were furious.Someone was even having a shotgun, a gun and a survival knife ready in case anyone was sent there to take him away from his home.Go ask them what they think.

take the tinfoil hat off, bro
it\'s not fashionable anymore

those people have just about nothing, and what little they do have is the world to them

So let them keep it.

God forbid progress be made.


see now, I get bored, get a few beers in me and now all of a sudden I care about things.

Well the house of the white American who was being interviewed looked pretty wealthy.
Its his mother\'s house and his mother was taken away.I dont think you would have surrendered your house and ownings....would you?

Also the french uptown district was not affected much by the tornado and the area shown was again as wealthy as a normal town.Why should these people accept their houses being taken down?
Would they gain anything?Would YOU gain anything if they take your house down?

Its another excuse for the big companies to gain profit.There are areas that indeed need reconstructing but they are also going to flatten and tear down areas that dont need to sending people away from their homes.

Now tell me....if they are going to reconstruct the areas and offer back new houses and better things(someone mentioned the word progress) that they had before with no cost then explain me why the outrage?

Particularly humiliating was that all countries were better able to identify the U.S. population than many young U.S. citizens. Within the U.S., almost one-third said that population was between one billion and two billion; the answer is 289 million.
WTF? 1-2 billion?
