While I agree we've stood idly by and let corrupt politicians rake us over the coals for bigger paychecks and corporate interests, you lot out there in other countries should be minding your own store. The euro is ready to tank, when it wasnt all that long ago it was doing better than the dollar.
Besides where would you rather be, living in a country capable of sealing the fate of the rest of the world or some country capable of having it's fate sealed by another. I choose the former
My country isn't part of the Euro, don't live in ignorance, if the Euro fails, the dollar fails. To answer your question, I'd rather live in a country who was at the peril of another country because i couldn't live in the country that controlled others and sit back and say "i didn't do the right thing, i have helped f**k it up for the entire planet"...there is only so much a UK vote can do compared to a US vote.
We are all in this together and whether any of you like it or not. If America sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold.
You guys need to vote for the right guy and demand change.
I'm all for Dr. Paul, but your under the impression our vote still counts, which if you read here at all, you already know the voting process has been rigged, which is why msm is toughting Mitt Romney as the next republican nominee. To fix this situation here it would take nothing short of an all out revolution

Every nation on Earth produces those greedy bast**ds, the problem is that when election time comes, its only ever the greedy bast**rds that are eligible for election. TPTB force those they want in power. Dr Paul is a potential spanner in the works.
I just cant see how you guys over there cant see it. Maybe its because we over here haven't had the same brainwashing etc...
YOU have any ideas on what we should do?
I'm to the point that I feel we need to take care of our own, and the hell with the rest of the world.

We can't seem to do anything right! When America acts, it is always: "Why doesnt America mind it's own business."
When America doesn't act, it is always: "Why isn't America doing anything about...?"
I'm to the point that I feel we need to take care of our own, and the hell with the rest of the world.
We are damned if we do, and damned if we don't. Time for you other countries that normally sit by and let us take the lead to step up to the plate and do something.
Let the flames begin!

A lot of you are under the false impression that the u.s. government listens to its people.. We rally agents things we don't like the elite call the swat teams out.. We set up protests and they try to pass new laws to take away more freedoms.. We try to vote people out of office that are corrupt and they fix elections so they stay in or someone worse takes there place.our media is controlled to the point that if we really want to know what's going on in the world we have to get the majority of our news from other country's or online(and even that one is currently under attack).And when there is accually someone that could make a difference like Ron Paul they pretend the man don't even exist,or make him out to be the crazy uncle in the family.so tell me instead of bitchin about it do YOU have any ideas on what we should do?
I really don't think you have ANY idea about what's going on in this country if you did you sure wouldn't try to place blame on its public instead of the people who are suppose to represent us.

We're at a turning point in America.
One where our best days are either behind us or just ahead of us.
Obama certainly has failed as president.
Romney will have his chance.
Paul? He's been in the senate for over 30 years. I don't understand the attraction.

So what you're saying here↑, is that the whole of humanity has been enslaved for thousands of years, but it is Captain America's responsibility to come and save you, and the rest of the Planet?

And yes, [color=FFB39C]humanity has been in slavery in one way or another since the dawn of civilaisation through money, power, corruption...
You have that backwards. I'm not pointing any fingers. I'm not blaming everyone else. I'm not denying any responsibilities.

Yes.

Its people like you that make me sick. Arrogant and obnoxious. Why shouldnt we all be angry with the American public?
Why? Because simply being angry, accomplishes absolutely nothing.

Actions speak louder than words, so shut the hell up and get on it.
