They want everything done for them and are easily fooled by government propaganda because they are unable to tell if it IS propaganda.

I am a Christian Westerner and I think most answers that are short and stupid are of course from MYWs.

In away I agree with you in the fact that we are gullible , this is because in the past we could trust our governments to do the best for the country that they were elected to govern, but now it's changed and I don't know why and the public are just a bit slow in picking up on it, hopefully it will change as Communion will only work if the whole world is involved and I don't think it is ever possible as the people in power will want more privileges , its the way of the human race and I think also primates.

Did you watch anything about Tony Blair losing his job soon or the Mid-term election in the US.? (Sorry for assuming you mean the US and Britain) Americans can vote at 18. I do not think many of them were too snowed by Gov't propaganda or spin or else the election would have turned out differently. At least westerners are able to hear and read news and then make their choices. Ask someone in a Burka if they have had that opportuity lately ... oh I am sorry you could both die for talking to strangers of the opposite gender.

Young Westerners are not morons but just like any other teenagers around the world searching for their identities. It was just different that Western Culture had become a spoon-fed society with access to technology and modern equipment.

Thats incredibly unfair western youths are simply a product of their society. Propaganda if used properly is supposed to do just this, how many times in history have the people not believed want their government tells them? No wonder the people of America and Britian believed their leaders, they voted them in and trusted them. The media in the US is apalling, this is where your grieviances should be directed.

I would not say complete morons, but most are ignorant and unable to think for themselves. Most have lost common sense and do not accept any responsabilities for their thinking and actions. Most can only think of drinking and partying, drinking and driving, driving at rate of speeds. Most do not have any respect for the elderly, some not even their parents. But I suppose that is only because most of their parents grew up the same way.

No Buddy. I was born in the west of the US, I'm wealthy and I didn't have it handed to me. Grew up in a dysfunctional family, yet made my own name. I would agree if you said some Americans are complete morons, because if you got from South Carolina, to West Virginia, to Oregon and Nevada, you will meet them.

not just the young ... but really .. people only know what they see and hear and unfortunately many refuse to believe that their govt could or would hide things from them and lie to them because this is america the great land of the free and the greatest nation on earth and it couldnt happen here ... and the clincher is that if you question then ur told ur unpatriotic .. morons - no ... it goes on in every country just like in many arab and muslim countries they are taught and fed by the media that the protocols of the elders of zion are completely true and factual ..

I take it you are a benefit sponging, heathen, good for absolutley nothing muslim then? What makes you any better than the rest of us, go back to your original country to preach your hatred with your own kind, you are NEVER welcome to spread propaganda here!!!
As what you Heathen muslims often say to us (but taking out "Islam" and replacing it with "The West") I say to you:
"You are an enemy of The West."
