I think a fair few Americans actually don't fear what can happen in 100 years if we don't stop pollution and global warming now, because they don't believe in global warming. Apparently a mass conspiracy of scientists all over the world is a more likely/convenient explanation.

Edit: Obviously I understand this is a minority (or I hope so!), and that the same controversies exist to some extent in all countries, just rarely to the same extent.

For a spotlight figure who believes that global warming is not man made, if real at all, you can look at Sarah Palin. Look at her VP debate with Joe biden.

She also apparently thought that Africa was a country, not an actual continent. >.>

I'm pretty sure she knows that it is a continent. She just thought that they would be organized as the United States of Africa, or U.S.A. in short. Wait a minute... :confused:

You think way too highly of the Democrats to know the details of what's going on in government.

You probably think too high of the Federation, is all. ;)


Which is odd, since they seem to be a highly Communist heirarchy..... < ducks >

Exactly. A future where money means nothing, everyone has a job, everyone has health care, etc etc etc. Sounds like a utopian communistic image of the democratic party extreme.

But, to be fair, healthcare in the federation does just involve waving a little penlight looking thingy over the hurty bits while looking concerned.

There was also a nice wisecrack about her around in Italy in the campaign days... :smirk:

"She's pro-war, anti-abortion, pro-creationism, pro-abstinence only education, pro-hunting, pro-guns, pro-drilling, pro-nuclear, anti-renewable energies, pro-death penalty.
Think of an horrible thing. She's in favour" :D

Plz don't mention...
There's just nothing too bad you can say about this man and all his (proven) fascist/dishonest/liers/racist/mafiosi lackeys and friends, who brainwashed and govern my people.
I'm gonna emigrate as soon as I finish University, like the most of the young "brains" are doing. My country's a sinking boat.

If Obama really manages to make USA an even better place, someone prepare a room for me in four/five years please :D
