New forum theme up and running!
I'm fairly sure there's no law against saying the government sucks in England, Ireland, Sweden, Finland, Italy, Norway, etc. etc. A large number of the world's countries employ the concept of Free Speech. In addition, it is actually quite difficult to get a political position to change something in the government without decided that you are going to spend a good amount of your life working your way up the political ladder, serving constituents and helping out other politicians until you become another player in a huge partisan war that encourages voting on party lines.

Originally posted by OsmoseKinda sad, because I still have a lot of anger for you and your ever-so-slightly ignorant generalizations (Well, that and all the hate that was there before[PS I really don't particularly like Cap'n Crunch, but it was a good opportunity for a bit of humor so I took it. Cereal in general sucks.])I'm fairly sure there's no law against saying the government sucks in England, Ireland, Sweden, Finland, Italy, Norway, etc. etc. A large number of the world's countries employ the concept of Free Speech.

Doesn't mean we suck, but holding ourselves higher than everyone else is a bit much. Well, more than a bit.
Religion in general.Does more harm then good. The Crusades, anyone? Or all (maybe not ALL) the wars in the middle east? Don't get me started on the bible, either. Or those people who take some parts of the bible to extreme lengths, and ignore other parts. IIRC, it mentions things like "women shouldn't talk unless spoken to" and "black people SHOULD be slaves".

As for ZeroKirby, my point was that you pushing America above every other country because "We have free speech and anyone can change stuff if they try hard" is a ******** reason because there's a large amount of countries in the world where you can do the same thing.
Originally posted by RazorPeople who play the race card for EVERYTHING.Seriously. The Jews were holocaust'D, so now everyone has to treat them nicely. The blacks were enslave'D, so now everyone has to treat them nicely. The native Australians (and Americans for that matter) were killed by the thousands and had their land stolen from them, so now everyone has to treat them EXTRA nicely. Generations later and we're all paying for it. I know these are major important historical events, but last I checked I didn't personally kill anyone.
Originally posted by RazorCreationism, Intellegent Design, and that one where supposedly the eye had to be made because it couldn't possibly have evolved that way. I think that was actually Intellegent Design.Sure, I'm probably overstepping boundaries here, but seriously. We have SCIENCE. It explains things, with better answers and more logic than "God did it". Seriously. It's like, God is the excuse for things you don't know or something. "Well I can't quite understand how the appendix has come to be from a mass of cells, so I'll just say God did it. Now to snort some more cocaine bought with this big grant from the government!"
