We're in a lose lose situation. If we deny help we're scrutinized, and if we help we don't get reimburrsed and are still hated. You mentioned not involving ourselves with the way other countries are run. We wouldn't have if Saddam wasn't such an a-hole dictator. He's not a leader, he's a man in search of power and gets his jolly's off by torturing and killing people who dont do what he expects. He practically brainwashed a large sum of the people by his use of force. No one deserves to be tortured and or killed for something as unjust as not supporting the government.
Jimster, the reason those terrorists made it on the planes was before any sort of higher security was attempted to be put in place(they may have vary well still have gotten away with it even so). And even whats in place doesn't really work in anyway except by luck. Largely in part b/c they do it randomly. My mom has been stopped and searched a few times since 9/11 and she's the least harmful looking person there is. And having listened to many local radio talk shows, so many innocent people have even been strip searched. Don't think they're just stopping internation visitors, b/c they're not.
Is nudity that important to you? If so, maybe you haven't heard of HBO, Showtime, Cinemax? If you want to see slight nudity then watch NYPD Blue. I've seen a total side shot of a nake woman several times. I saw in your profile that your 16. You should be more concerned with school than seeing some ass in a shampoo commercial. As for the race card you brought up, racism runs rampant all over the world not just in the U.S. The vast majority of U.S. citizens aren't racists, it just seems that way b/c of the stupid ass media.
That's my opinion, in no way did i plan to offend anyone so please don't take anything personally. The biggest problem I have with America is everyone expects something for free and people get offended by the littlest comments. Political correctness is way overrated. There is a lot of things wrong with America, but there are also problems in the way every other country is run as well.

Woot! Go Texas! I totally agree. I really don't care much for the big G, and I don't think we should've gone to Iraq. However, HOW can any person of integrity just sit there and knowingly let people be ruthlessly killed, and brutally tortured. BUT, what makes the 'American' way right? I really like where I live, and everyone makes mistakes. I highly doubt GWB is going to get re-elected. Hopefully, we'll get someone better than Slick Willy, and the big G. Unfortunately, most people can't see past their own side of the equation. I'm sure there are things the government doesn't tell us, and they really shouldn't. Almost everything the government does is for the protection of a certain people. Oh yeah, and you know why racism makes the news? Because it's so rare! There is racism everywhere!! People just
love to point that out when they're out of anything to say.
That's just my 14-year-old two cents. Hell, screw me then, right?
