to this i say blah blah blah yak yak yak, who cares! All i care about is my well being, enough of the United States and enough of all these problems, nothing ever becomes of it so i say big deal, North Korea does what it wants, BP does what it wants, Iran does what it wants...

All this world full of idiots seems to care about is who is going to win the World cup...

I say F afganistan let the troops stay there forever, to hell with Iraq, and who cares what BP does next, i say drill drill drill for oil!

Pollute the oceans the animals will adapt to it, who cares!

Spend Spend Spend, buy buy buy, pollute pollute pollute!

It's the natural way!

Come on drug dealers! Come on in Illegal Immigrants, the only people that suffer under laws are the people that OBEY THEM...

This whole world is backward and all that matters is getting as much as you can as soon as you can, and if you can get away with a "crime" more power to you! All you have to do is figure out a way to get away and not get caught! Or be SO POEWRFUL that the powers that be have no other choice but to look the other way, or work out a deal with you!

I think this nuclear issue with Iran might someday be as important as the lies and excuses used to get us into Iraq. It's important that we're aware of it.

Here are three more stories related to this one, with different slants and some more information. Some of them are like deja vu.
