about many americans being disgustingly ignorant...blame it on our biased media...whatever the media tells the average american that average american is gonna believe it no matter what...its sickening i know |
at one stage 2/3rds of the american public thought saddam hussein was behind the 911 attacks, this is one of my favourite stats (source is bbc by the way)
It displays how the media controls us and confuses the out of the public so much. People only know what you tell them. We can laugh about it now, but at the time it probably made sense some(how i dont know).
The media is a circus. |

only about half the people are poor in mexico, and those in poverty are mostly due to US corporations and government deals with the Mexican government itself :( |

Some more facts which baffle the average human being....
before the 2nd Gulf war started, there was a high percentage of americans against it.
After the 1st bomb fell, the tides turned and most of the nation supported the war??? :rolleyes:
In australia, 70% or so were against the war as well, but our prime minister still sent our soldiers in.... Talk about democracy? :whip: |

Incorrect statistics, I'm not sure what time period you were referring to but I posted stats on Australian polls a long time ago and the population in support was something like 53 or 54%. |

That's true. I remember reading that also.
And in Britain, too, the split was about even and I believe the number of anti-war people was ~52%, pro-war ~48%. |

no. im sure tons of people would rather live in the other industrial countries that have national health care, like canada. |
National Healthcare is often very poor when compared to the healthcare in the US. There are many more hopsitals in Canada than in the US, that I would not step foot in because of poor surgical and other types of care. Also, they are generaly a lot more overcrowded than US hospitals.
I have lived and have had hospital stays in both countries. Just my opinion and the opinion of many of my peers (from a New England college that we all went to) I guess. |

that is just blatantly not true
I have arranged and overseen many such "deals" (deals is not really the right word for it, many times they are just charity projects brought on by the US companies). |
