"The sooner you figure that out in your life, the better. If I ever have kids, which I might soon since I'm getting married later this year, I'm going to tell them that 90% of the people in this country are idiots." Well, given those odds, I'm guessing your future wife is an idiot since she's marrying you. I guess most of your children will be idiots too.

<< The American people overall are just plain ignorant. >> Typical words from the naive and immature. << They have no concept about how the world really works. >> America.... the most successful nation on the face of the earth. Has led the world in industry and in the arts and sciences. Has fought many times for the freedom and democracy of the world. If Americans have no concept about how the world really works, what does this say about everyone else! <g> << The world is set up so the wealthy elites in Western countries, via their corporations, can drain the resources from the developing world and get rich from it. >> You have no idea what you are talking about. You've learned some fancy thoughts from someone else, who equally has no concepts of economics. America is a very competitive, capitalistic society. We compete against the rest of the world, and they compete against us. If most of the rest of the world is run by dictators and idiots, it is not our fault. Indeed.... Americans have fought and died to help the rest of the world. Plus, American corporations offer great jobs for Americans. Who did you want to work for all your life, the corner news stand? You know where you can stick your anti-corporation bullshit! << The American people have been brainwashed into thinking that the U.S. is actually a benevolent force in the world ... >> American sons and daughters didn't fight and die, saving the world from Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito? Ever hear of the Marshall Plan, by which America helped to rebuild Europe? How about Deming? You probably have never heard of Deming, and what he did for Japan, after the war, have you? How about Kosovo? Afghanistan? Kuwait? How about the many years that America held back the USSR from it's conquest of the world. Do you know how badly the USSR treated, and raped the countries that it occupied? I am wasting my time. You are a stupid, uneducated fool.
