Interesting, and genuinly worrying times we live in.
Of course 70-80% of the population either won't care, or tow the party line because their simple minds simply cannot grasp the idea that maybe those in charge lie. They're so utterly dumbed down and removed from the political system they'll believe whatever they're spoon fed.
Idiots deserve to have their freedoms taken away.

It would have been more acceptable.

Erm... isn't lack of freedom and no access to the political system how folk become spoon-fed "idiots" in the first place?
Also, isn't the idea about freedoms that they are supposed to be universally available... or they aren't really freedoms at all... just perks for those considered acceptable?
The taking away of anyone's freedoms based on your perception of their worth and/or intellectual capacity is dangerously close to fascism.
In any case, if 70-80% (nice figures... and a very nice hat you pulled them out of too) are genuinely idiots, isn't it down to those of us who consider that we are not idiots to look after their interests (as well as our own) so that their children won't be idiots either?
Just a thought.
...by the way, just in case you're worried or interested, there's another "e" in genuinely... and no "i" in snake.

Whereas the rule of the Kuwaiti Royal Family is the very model of enlightened democracy.

Admittedly, I was in a bad mood. You're right to call me on it (apart from picking on spellings, that seems somewhat petty)
It's a bit of a 'chicken and egg' argument really. Yes, people are stupid because they are misinformed by those who should just be informing them, because they get swept up in patriotic bull**** and fear campaigns. And whatsmore this is understandable, to a degree, for fear is a pretty strong emotion, as is ones feelings of duty and compliance towards an authority figure. But of course, people have been stupid throughout history, I simply can't help but feel that there is slightly less excuse to be stupid these days than, say a few decades ago or further.
Indeed freedoms ought to be universal, but freedoms are also not intrinsic, they are effectively perks we bestow upon ourselves. What is it about your being human that entitles you to education, healthcare, safety and security? Nothing other than laws, and the forces that uphold those laws. If freedoms are then seen as perks (which they are, unless you want to bring a god into the argument, which just creates more problems) then surely there starts to be criteria for deserving them? You wouldn't give a naughty child ice cream, or permission to stay up late watching cartoons.
You speak of safeguarding interests for the sake of future people and our children, and so have met we one of the toughest parts of democracy; how do you cater for the interests of the minority when they directly conflict with those of the majority? Of course, I'm not for a moment implying with live in a democracy at the moment (anywhere).
I'm fully aware this sounds dangerously close to fascism, I sincerely wish it didn't.
Oh, and my hat is merely one of my experiences, yet I find it usually fits quite well.
If you could spell check this form me, I'd be much obliged....

Well then I am a fascist.
You earn your rights, they aren't given to you. Soldiers didn't die so that people could behave irresponsibly, irrationally, and idiotically.
The previous admin was hell bent on a war that we should never have fought. The current admin is hell bent on bigger government, higher deficits, and corporate fascism.
The only thing that has changed is where the money is being spent. With reps it was abroad, with dems some of it's at home. Don't believe it? Fact check it yourself.
I've become so sick of how people act in this country. Touting it as being the best nation on earth, while in actuality being under paid, having healthcare comparable to Cuba, having freedoms stripped away and being unaware to it for over a decade...
Just as every right and left winger has said repeatedly, "Why don't you leave if you don't like it" I will. I will go back home to where I came from. And I will enjoy the news of your collapse. |

Very fair minded of you chap. Please feel free to take anything I say with a pinch of salt. It's not like my opinion matters any more than anyone elses' in here is it?
Alas, I am somewhat petty and although I'm not usually the English Police (I'd have me work cut out for me in here if I wus), but you did refer to "dumbing down" in your post and I found the spelling mistakes therin ironic as a result.

Y'know, I was going to post an itemised list of rebuttals to the various froths contained in the above post, but then I stood back a few feet and recognised it for what it is.
Trollbait of the very bestest standard; after all, what sane human being could possibly think like this?
Well done Valdez; you nearly had me going there for a minute. I know you aren't that big a **** as to believe all that. 9/10 mate, very funny indeed.
Incidentally, you do realise I'm English don't you? Just checking.

Contrite is too strong a word; it implies some measure of wrong-doing to be atoned for. You should know by know that I never, ever get it wrong.
I'm just lulling the fool into a false sense of security so he'll be super amazed at my vitriolic dismantling of any future posts.
Don't worry, normal service will be resumed shortly... just as soon as I climb off your grand-mother and wipe my **** on the curtains.
