I'm not ignorant, but couldn't care less.
Politicians have been using war for their own ends for hundreds of years. Democracy allows us to vote these people in, and for some reason, Tony and Bush are still in charge.
Says more about the people than the government, to me.

Even more so about the voting machines that Diebold hacked.  |
For both countries?
Nah.
As for biggest lie of the century, this one's kinda disappointing.

I was referring to the thread's opening topic as the disappointing lie (the war, yet again).
If so much evidence is proving the voting was rigged, why's nothing been done about it?

*just laughs* More and more is coming to the surface and more individual county governances are starting to bring it to the courts. This sort of thing takes time. But with a war going on, and the Bush administration doing all they can to keep the country's attention adverted towards the Mid East whilst crying "boogie man alert!", these more "trivial" matters tend to fall on the back burner. But...it is beginning to get more federal attention than it did a year ago, when many people first started pointing out the discrepencies. We may not see anything done about it in the remainder of Bush's term....but it will be brought out in the forefront. Our country has a long history of it's government's offhand doings and getting away with it, even when it is released as public information years later, due to the public information act. Of course....that's all considering we're not talking about blow jobs. Then THAT deserves nothing less than millions of dollars worth of federal investigation, trials and possible impeachment!  |

haha, off topic here, which will piss everyone off, but the biggest lie of the century is that mariah carey has talent...
and just so this relates somehow to this topic, I feel no pity for americans, simply because they are the ones that voted for bush, twice 
. and whats even more crappy is that us canadians have to help bush out of his messes..and that makes canada not so msart either, because if we were smart we'd just tell him to shove it. and than all our trading crap would go down, and thats the reason im not a politician..id just spend time telling everyone off, including the liberals and all the other political parties who have no brains off, for embezzling my tax money.

| At the risk of offending anyone, I've always said that religion was a form of social schizophrenia.
The only difference between the religious fundamentalist and the schizophrenic, is that society glorifies one....and institutionalizes the other. |
Any chance of you elaborating on this? (ie why religion is social schizophrenia)

Well I know you were not talking to me but I don't think anyone could elaborate better than this highlight from this web page http://www.mega.nu/ampp/ancient.html#metatop
I have seen schizophrenics in hospitals before and 9/10 times that I can remember they get drawn into religion often encouraged to do so, not by the hospital staff but most likley from some other group used for treatment.
this bit I posted here is how I have felt and thought of religion and mostly it's brutial past and how it changes people behaviour and does not give you the option of thinking freely.
Pat Robertson would be a good example of how dangerous blind faith can be, along with Osama, And of course L. Ron Hubbard .
_______________________________________________________________________________________
The god concept - common to many though not all religions - is the ultimate organizational corruption. A god would have total authority with no accountability. The priests and potentates who cite god as the source of their authority similarly wield total authority with no accountability.
Practical religion is sociocognitive warfare. With this realization, a great deal of what is considered by Americans to be ``culture'' or ``political systems'' is seen to actually be religion. For example, though communism in the USSR was atheistic (denied ``belief in the existence of one God viewed as the creative source of man and the world who transcends yet is immanent in the world'' (from Webster)), it was obviously a religion. As one peruses the litany of establishment tactics in my introductory essay, the burrowing of religion into the American cultural landscape becomes clear. Many of the tactics squarely aim to subvert reason.
``Religion'' and ``cult'' are two names for the same thing. Typically, the former term is used when referring to centuries-old institutions of sociocognitive warfare, and the latter when referring to new ones or ones which are of intermediate age and include significant doctrine that is inconsistent with, or not ancestral to, the doctrine of an old institution. Both Scientology and Catholicism are both religions and cults. When subordination to a new institution of sociocognitive warfare ceases to be stigmatized by those who are subordinated to older institutions, the new institution ceases to be considered a cult and comes to be considered a religion. Once an institution is considered a religion, it will continue to be considered as such, even if subordination to it is again stigmatized. This has occured with Judaism, the subordinates of which have been stigmatized by a variety of groups for a variety of reasons.
The engine by which mystical ideation becomes cultural doctrine includes three primary components: insanity, evil, and feebleness of mind. The insanity is embodied principally by schizophrenics, though also by individuals with certain other types of brain disease. The evil is embodied by the power lusting second hander. The feebleness of mind is embodied by ordinary people, of ordinary mental fortitude and ordinary susceptibility to memetic infection. By mental fortitude, I mean capacity to maintain rational consistency, particularly when presented with a concerted effort to befuddle.
Schizophrenics have minds that are qualitatively different from those of non-schizophrenics - in a manner of speaking, they do not have human minds. The difference is genetically correlated, and is anatomical and neurochemical in basis. The mind of a schizophrenic has a threshold of awareness and recognition that is either too low or too high. This has a variety of calamitous results for his capacity to think rationally. Of interest here are those whose threshold of awareness and recognition is too low, so that hallucinatory sensations and delusory patterns are perceived. Associations between meme vectors (as discussed in The Origin and Evolution of Culture and Creativity by Liane Gabora) are faulty, since effectively the association filter's Q is too low (that is, its region of sensitivity is too large). The schizophrenic is impaired in the formation and comprehension of fine analogies, since the low Q cannot maintain the distinctness of the two ideas whose symbolic topologies are being mapped together. Instead, they form artificially course analogies, artificially mapping together ideas that are not actually related. This results in their telling fanciful tales of unlikely causality, poesy, and lexical invention. They weave fantastically diverse memes into a largely senseless, but artful and memorable tapestry. L. Ron Hubbard was a schizophrenic.

That's part of the problem if we don't speak out and make a big deal out of it then they will do it all the time. it was not the worrying about & believe in everything they say and not calling a spade a spade is why our so called free countries are turning in to police states.
