"The equality of the general rules of law and conduct, however, is the only kind of equality conducive to Liberty and the only equality which we can secure without destroying Liberty. Not only has Liberty nothing to do with any other sort of equality, but is even bound to produce inequality in many respects.

NOW "BIG BEAR" is calling ME a LIBERAL!!! can you believe how stupid we have become??

NICK G - HE AND THE DEMOCRATS HAVE MORE IN COMMON THAN YOU THINK, (and more than the media would have you believe) I THINK HE PREFERS THE CONGRESS BEING DEMOCRAT, BECAUSE HE CAN AT LEAST HAVE A SHOT AT IMMIGRATION REFORM, etc.

Answer 1

No. Many are just poorly educated sheep, who have never been taught how to think for themselves.

Answer 2

As someone that has lived through all these events on the opposite side of the world it seems that whatever people do all cops are going to have their charges overturned from Rodney King through to Amandou Diallo and now to Sean Bell. It doesn't seem to matter whether we would riot or petition or hold marches or whatever. I look at it more from a Political point of view as my Brother is highly active in Human Rights & Environmental Activism but what do you hear out the mouths of most people our ages. These Tree Hugging Hippies and Left Wing Loonies creating havoc. Most fools believe what Politicians tell them and what they read in the papers and those that are wealthy build their whole lives around exploiting others. Unless you can make people give up their time and take risks like losing their homes, jobs etc to fight the fight for Freedom and Equality it's only gonna get worse. CCTV, Patriot Acts, Globalisation and War on Terror are just part of the start of suppression of Free Speech. I even see fans in this section hating on artists like Immortal Technique because they call them crackpot conspiracy theorists but a lot of what they say is true and we are too scared to admit most of us are pawns to the game.

Answer 3

As concerns the American people,their main base upon which they live is liberty.Still bush s policies didnot affect their liberty,as long as this is going on,no one will care.The Americans will care when their freedom is affected,becaause they faught for freedom and their grandmums and grandfathers left their countries seeking absolute liberty.Nearby,freedom will affected,,,that is a scientifically deduced law and circumstancesthat confirms this fact.Hence Americans will demonstrate on higher scales and will be ready to lose more lives for the price of their freedom......Dr sherif lanson Khalil of Egypt

Answer 5

Well, theres many better music stations then MTV, come on, its 2007. but, you make it sound like Bush is running around with an assult rifle terrorizing children and no one cares. Bush doesnt have as much power as you think he does, what he has to do has to go through so many levels of checking, and with congress being democrat, he cant make all the decisions, its just not possible.

Answer 6

as long as america has stupid t.v shows. and more and more entertainment devices... america will keep getting more dumb.

people will stop caring even more, and more stupid laws will be passed.

once you know it, our lives have passed us by and we are living in a controlled country base on laws that no one voted on, but where forced upon us

Answer 7

blame yourself, liberal. MTV is a very liberal channel. get rid of your liberal crap and maybe you can get some work done.

Answer 8
