Why does the average person seem so unwilling to think and reason things out?

Question

When the government is re-writing the Constitution under our noses, using terrorists as a shield for their own propaganda, people need to start asking questions. If we actually had people walking into public places strapped with bombs, then maybe we ARE at such and such risk for terrorist strikes. That doesn't happen here with our very large Arab and Middle Eastern population... Makes me wonder about how much truth comes from all those bureaucrats: "The haves and the have mores" as Bush joked. The government is leading unknowing sheep in the direction they want, and people "trust" them only because people would rather have someone else do the work for them. Laziness only feels good in the now, not in the later, and ignorance is only bliss in the now and not later. What you don't know can hurt you far more than what you do know... the hurt just tends to show up later when it's usually too late.

Answer 1

I agree, the average person is not willing to think things out. But I go the competely opposite direction of you.

Everyone is saying that there is so much propaganda out there. Like what? Freedom fries? Bush didn't make those. Have you heard of 9-11? In which the terrorists did attack america, very devastating. If you put the word "bush" into a search engine, you get hate, how is that propaganda? So what if the US has large Arab and Middle Eastern populations, that does not mean that they are terrorists. What do you know about terrorists? It is the radical Islam believers that are the terrorists, not necessary Muslims, and Arabs. Laziness is bliss, in your side. People say that WMD's were not found in Iraq, well, let me ask you this, If they were found, would the govt. be able to tell us? If you understand War, then you would know the answer is no.

I don't act on fear, I have thought about both sides immensly, and notice that the other side is filled with propaganda that 59% of the American population is believing. It is sad, really

And this one, has foiled terrorist plots since 9-11.

Answer 2

Americans are lazy. Simple as that. An American may live two blocks from work however, even though there are women with babies that walk their children everywhere and it would help the environment a little, they decide to drive. If an American is enjoying some food in their car or smoking a cigarette they throw the waste out the window even though they are heading somewhere with a trash can. If an American has the opportunity to change the world they don't because they would rather sit at home. Laziness it's contagious.

Answer 3

The problems England is having with terrorist cells is a result of thier GUEST WORKER PROGRAM.
Those people were brought in merely to work.
Not to assimilate.
Englands situation is different.

Dubya didn't win the second election by a landslide.
(and the first one he won through fraud)
51% dubya 49% Kerry.
And last Tuesdays election proved that Americans aren't as stupid as the Republican administration thinks they are.

I didn't vote for Dubya in either election.
And I didn't vote for his old man.
And I didn't vote for Reagan either.

"I have carry close's degree in mathematics. I finished my carry close's degree with ideal 4.0 GPA and that i'm also a member of distinct honor societies which incorporates Golden Key global Honour Society (a minimum 3.7 GPA is had to be its member)." Uh huh. nicely, McDonalds is hiring. That "carry close's degree in mathematics" can help you once you want to ask "do you want fries with that?" and once you take advantage of the register.

Answer 5

APATHY RULES IN THE USA
it sux but until it gets REALLY REALLY bad no one is gonna care enough to stand up for their disappearing rights-but by then it will be to late
I guess history really will repeat itself.

Answer 6

It hasn't happened yet! Doesn't mean it will not happen. It also doesn't mean that it hasn't been planned and prevented. Remember how surprised we were on September 11th 2001? Until then we thought that it would never happen here either.

Did you hear the news in Britain today?
