It isn't that I underestimate human nature, I have just decided to adopt a methodolgy that makes it work for me. Understanding that all people are animals, it follows that by watching the animals you can see how they react to certain stimulus, but noting that, you can see how you can "play" the animal we all call man. Not that it is fool prove, there are always animals and people that don't follow the trends and such, but overall it has served all nations leaders well for centuries.

Not if you allow or tolerate it, pal.

That's my point: don't underestimate human nature. People don't give a f**k about what you think or conclude (or same with me) and give you the run for the money. Either get to it or get the hell out of the way, pal.

Your other (earlier) post ... nothing but an asinine and totally screwed up conclusion. You don't know Americans at all.

I wonder..... if george washington would have been proud of amercans proclaiming death or calling thier government currupt instead of doing what the nation he started stood for....this will probably be lost and seen as a left attack on right or some ignorant drivel by amercas long lost cousin...but its a question that needs to be asked.

The actual population DOES give a f%#k, as evidense everyday of people acting out of an interest for their fellow man. Maybe it is closer to say that YOU don't give a F%CK? Ofcourse, if that were the case then you would be the problem wouldn't you?

- Ofcourse I do. They are easier than most to predict because on average your system keeps you dumb, isolated. Which is why you guys can never go outside your country, and why your tourists buy so many of our flags, but I digress. American's aren't dumb because you guys are dumb. Clearly history shows the average American was a person of incredible skill, drive and determination. A person who was at least away of the world around him. However over the course of the years America has slowly been turned into couch potato, simply feeding at whatever trough the government puts down. It isn't your fault, it may be just the natural cycle of a country, once they get to be so big that apathy naturally sets in? In either case, Americans because of their mass conditioning exibit more of the sheeple, or group, or herd mentality than most, and as such you are always assured there will be more then enough willing to tow whatever line the government puts out there because it is easier than dealing with having to wade through all the information and disinformation. WHo needs it, turn on American Idol, listen that everything is good and just label all decsenting veiws, as...what did the government call them again.....

Are you just rapping out of some hip-hop crap you're listening to? You don't know what you're rapping about.

You don't know, man. I've dealt with people who wouldn't give a sh** about other people but themselves. Call it honed survival instincts. They don't tell you straightaway but they'll let you know by their manners or attitudes toward you. I, on the other hand, actually care about people in general, especially the closest to me.
You don't know me, pal. You're opining some wrong ideas about me on the basis of what I posted. I just see the world and the people the ways I can tell it.

- What you post is your thoughts, is there anythign more worthy to be judged on? One can not be mean, vile and violent one second and Ghandi the next. Or as Jesus pointed out "You can not serve two masters". You have a chioce to be either peace loving and work towards understanding, or you can act the way you have cportrayed yourself here. Either way you will be judged by those around you and here.

- Still no answer other than that? Man your concept is weak my friend, err, pal,err buddy.. How about this, if the above is conjecture, it is conjecture based on studies of the worlds greatest thinkers and philosophers. It has stood the test of time, and it describes people very well. Your lack of meaningful response underlines this.
