Seriously!!!\n\nI care about education, and poverty issues.\nI am downright abhorrent of child abuse and exploitation or perversions\nI'd help the country become self efficent in energy and productions\nI'd have the military perform for purpose driven causes rather than this demoralizing drivel with countries that've been fighting each other for centuries... and I would seriously reinforce homeland security

Your idea is great. I would love it. You can practically go anywhere in your own country !! Cool. Plus think of it, no cross border terrorism, no wars, no nothing. We wolud be living in a peaceful world. Most of the evils in this world are due to difference in any two countries. One is more developed then other this and that. Though your idea is pretty good, I am afraid that what you say beholds true! Indeed, Human greed for power and wealth will not make it possible in first place cause everyone in the political field today, atleast the president's of today's countries will want to be the supreme of this new country and there will be conflicts. And Secondly, even if it takes place, the developed will develop more while poor will become poorer as the competetio will increase far more than ever. That is a brilliant idea. But do no feel sad, you can still dream about it tonight because I know, I will. I definately will.\nSo Long. Keep thinkin of more of such ideas. Bye

I, too, am a sensitive person and an American.  I understand what you are saying.  There are some people in this country who see only the mistakes of our own natioin but not the ATROCITIES of the terrorists.  I can not comprehend how their minds work.  If it is THAT bad here, why don't they move to a country that better suits their beliefs?  I mean this sincerely.  I'm fairly certain that someone will bash me for this last statement.  I am not saying to "go to hell."  I am sincerely asking a simple question.  I choose to stay in my homeland because I love my country. That doesn't mean I agree with everything . That would be unusual to agree with EVERYTHING.  I'm saying that if it is THAT awful for some people, why not choose to be happy and go where you will find peace of mind and contentment?  Here's the deal as I see it....these people take for granted all the freedoms that they have in this country. They take for granted all of the opportunities that are available to them.  They are looking for Eutopia, I can only imagine.  Well brothers and sisters, "this is the last best place on earth" and I for one ain't going nowhere!!!!

i always that the wordl needed a war counrtry.  that way, we could just go there and fight and not wreck houses and stuff.....................  i suggested part of Africa as its big and theres a lot of suffering going on there........we could buy part of it and help out the people at the same time.

I think he's trying to do both...  America is not every country's mother and Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11...\n\nThis country is literally falling apart because we concentrate so much about what's going on outside our borders we stop careing about ourselves.  We "punish" countries that do wrong and we give "allowance" money to countries that are short on their feet.  Is this really our job? No!  We made it our job now everyone expects us to fight their wars for them and help them out, meanwhile our people are hurting, our people are starving, and our people are homeless.  \n\nWhy do us as Americans matter less to our government than everybody else?

I live in the US. How far would I go? \n"when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security"\nThat far if necessary...\n\nWould I die defending it? Yes, and all it stands for...\n\nWould I live supporting it? I pay taxes, therefore yes. Supporting my country and supporting my president are 2 different things, though.\n\n“A patriot wraps himself around the flag to defend it; a scoundrel wraps it around himself to defend himself”

1.  I wouldn't cut taxes and increase spending at the same time.\n\n2.  I wouldn't start a war with a country that did nothing to us.\n\n3.  I wouldn't go out of my way to insure the terrorists become even more angry at us.\n\n4.  I wouldn't lie about a major point of fact when there is a tape proving the statement is a lie.\n\n5.  I would try to avoid breaking the law whenever possible (wiretaps anyone?).\n\n6.  I wouldn't work to errode our consitutional rights.\n\n7.  I wouldn't try to appoint justices how are likely to work to set civil rights back 100 years.\n\n8.  I wouldn't take so many damn vacactions.  Then again, we're probably better off when he isn't in the White House.\n\n9.  I wouldn't surround myself with neo-nazis and warmongers.\n\n10. I wouldn't pretend that science doesn't exist.\n\n11.  I would appologize to the allies we've already pissed off and try to avoid doing any more harm to international politics.  We need our allies.  Especially when we're running around the Middle East starting wars.

I think they would be AMAZED beyond words that so much has happened since their time on Earth!! If they were aware of ALL the issues ,demands and criticisms thrown at our country, they WOULD be pleased....it is not easy being a "super power." No matter what we do, someone is greatly thankful and someone is greatly dismayed.\nHappy Thanksgiving and God bless our wonderful country......\n"the last best place on Earth." a quote by Abraham Lincoln

I'd actively campaign the UN to send peace-keeping troops there. I don't have any troops to spare, so the other countries would have to pitch in a large share for the first time in UN history. \n\nIts very hard to see France or England actually voting to end genocide when they're the ones who would have to pay the bill, so I doubt my efforts would do much good. But I'd have to at least try.

2\n1\n3\n\n2 and 1 are pretty tied together.  We will need to bring our troops home to protect our borders.  America had better take care of herself before everyone else.  No one else gives a damn!

My question is, 'why is it america's job to wipe the world's ass'?\nSeriously. How many more trillions are we supposed to spend fixing other countries' problems? What are YOU trying to sign the american taxpayer up for, exactly? LOL Screw that. Africa needs to discover 'birth control'. Sorry if that sounds cold-blooded, but \nquite frankly, at some point in time, other nations have got to get their acts together, and work to defend their own societies from these kinds of things. If they can't/won't, what exactly do you expect america to do about it? Maybe the bitter, correct answer is LESS foreign aid so there's less people able to live in countries that won't normally support their populations. Stop giving out money, and get people in the mind-set of not having more kids than they can support. Can't feed em? Don't breed em. Pretty straightforward, there...

Yes i do because i'm glad the US intervened to stop the mass murder of jews during the holocaust of WWII.  I want to be the force that stops genocide (like in darfour).  I am willing to interfere if abuse of people is happening.  Just like i would interfere in another family if i saw child abuse or a situation if i saw rape.  I am willing to 'interfere' to stop injustice and torture and inhumanity.  Not that US intervention always does that well.  But in principle i am for that.

There you go Pussycat, you answered your own question. You gotta stop doing that, you're wasting 5 points. The governement could care less about the people coming over here, it's one less thing for them to worry about! If thier government themselves werent so far gone (drug wise) perhaps they'd have a reasonalbe person over there making correct decisions! the entire governement is made up of crack heads and greedy men! Do you think they care what happens to anyone other then themselves??

Yes yes absolutely yes, this country needs proper leadership, that has integrity, and I believe that I am that proper leadership, here's the scary part though, probably 95 percent of those who answer this question with a yes think the same thing I do, that they are the "proper leadership" but does anyone actually think that all those 95 percent are going to be competent. Whatever the sacrifice maybe, this country needs a level head with some common sense, might I be one of the country's greatest leaders, don't really know, but it doesn't hurt to try. As far as the skeletons go, hopefully the people will care more for integrity and leadership than they will for past mistakes, hopefully

It sounds like you are an independent American capable of thinking and wanting what is right for the country. Now if we can just get our "leaders" to listen maybe we can fix this country.

nah you're cool dude. It's a problem. there are no easy solutions in a country with spineless politicians and a public who are starving for any kind of scandal to criticize them about.. but something serious needs to be done. doors need to be shut, treasuries need to be distributed properly. but then again, benefits are the one thing stopping people from dealing and robbing to survive, so maybe it's good that some benefits are goin that way. besides, a month of war can feed a decade of 13yr old chavette moms and freeloading foreigners. as pathetic as it may seem, there are far worse crimes in politics
