    That's a really biased opinion, I'd say that both of the parties love their country. Now there are extreme conservatives that I can sit here and bash all day that take this country down, and I am sure that you could find reasons for extreme liberals but the fact is that one party is not the exact representation of that of their main leaders. I wish that more people could feel the way that I do and make their decisisons on what they believe in and not be influenced by other things. Also I wish that just because I am Democrat and another person is Republican that we didn't have to automatically become enemies just because of our political parties.

    the problem with that belief is the "peramiters" for making decisions is learnt for example if i saw a poster walking down the street with somthing like "the nazi's are cool" id most probably react with disgust because i have learnt to hate the nazis. But if i had been brought up to believe these views id probably say wow thats cool. Centralism doesnt exist its a belief that allows people to support left wing or right wing without having to choose an alignment.

    twat radicals from both parties in government annoy the hell out of me...it's like what you guys were sayin' people need to make decisions based on what they believe...but oh well there will never be a tyme when nothing outside of government persuades what government does whether it's constituent or party related
    but i can't really say anything about other governments or how bad ours are compared to other governments for that matter cause America is all i know...after i get back from Amsterdam i'll let you guys know what i think

    Ahh the joys of Canada.

    No real political drama. I guess with all the dope and REAL beer circulating around here. No need for the mass protests and anger problems.

    wow, you make canada sound really tempting... at least for the next three years. Gawd, can't wait for this administration (USA) to go away! All the lies and cronyism and illegal wiretapping and ineptness I can handle for a lifetime.

    You idiot this was planned years before 9-11, and it happened because the CIA wasn't allowed to discuss information with the FBI, and Bush enabled the Patriot act which removed the barrier between them, so by all means, Bush helped us.
