I was reading about the political crap that is going on in the white house on another forum, about the ideas of erasing the US borders and creating a North American Union similar to the European Union. And it made me think about just how messed up our thinking is compared to the rest of the world.
Heres a link to what I am talking about.

But this was my reply to someones comment about the Canadians hating the US.
I mean, nobody can argue against it, all the facts and proof are right there for all to see.
Many people in other countries know multiple languages, they study other countries in depth, and really are educated on the rest of the world, where in the US, to learn anything about the rest of the world, you have to be studying in college to really get a taste of the real world. They all seem to begin very early. In the US, 90% of the time if you asked someone about another country, or what happened overseas, their reply would be something very similar to "why the hell should I care, I dont live there." Then when gas prices go up because there were bombings in the countries, people just bitch because those countries need to keep up and get more oil to us. Not mentioning that we have some of the cheapest gas prices around.
It just amazes me how little the majority of the population is. Then again, thats why nobody cares about anyone but themselves. But gas will be going up about 20-30cents in the next few months, and it doesnt bother me one bit, mostly because I like to see the people bitch that run their a/c in their escalade for 30 minutes before they even get in it so that it is nice and cool. IMHO, maybe the government let 9/11 happen to try to get people to care more for the country. If so, at least it seemed to work for 3-4 months.
Guess thats my thoughts for the day.... now what do you think?

blame them?
It would be interesting. I saw a sport on tv today, cant remember which one... but it was the World vs. USA. I mean WTF. We really are the only stupid ass country with our heads so far up our asses it aint even funny. But in reality, it really is the world vs us, which means, we shouldnt keep acting like the big playground bully, because sooner or later, everyone on the playground will turn, and we wont stand a chance.
