Why do you think I am a creationist? I am not. I am also not ignorant in the sciences, why do you think that? I do not even think that I have ever mentioned "science" on CD.
Yes, I believe RP would be a better candidate than the usual Dem/Rep candidates (I have nothing against Obama, however).
I looked what RP voted for/against and I liked most of it (not all).
I also liked how he handles himself when interviewed by Fox News. He usually outsmarts the guys from Fox news.
He actually makes sense. Just check out what he thinks about the Patriot Act.
I was a Paul supporter for about 10 minutes. It took me ten minutes to be exposed to his comments about theories...or his lack of understanding of the term. As a physician (he was an OB), that's unacceptable. How did it go? "The theory of evolution is a theory I reject" or similar nonsense. Not that I'm impressed with any of them, but he is not a better choice. Clearly, he's nutty. Kucinich is worth looking into, tho.
The US does not have a strong neo-nazi movement - but Germany definitely does - and it is NOT confined to the east.
Anti-Semitism is rampant in Germany compared to the U.S.
You like to slam us on gangs - but you ignore the very same racist sentiments brewing in your country today that gave us WWII, the Holocaust and the Nazi party...
I'll take America any day of the week ...
Well, first of all you have the KKK. They are Nazis to me.
I personally do not know one single person that is anti-semitic.
If theres anti-semitism than its very underground.
I told you I am from Poland, and the anti-semitism there is much more obvious than in Germany.
I personally find that disgusting.
But no, your claim that there are the same racist sentiment like during Hitlers time is very ignorant. You must know that germanys media was full of anti-semitism during that time.
Today anything anti-semitic is not being tolerated at all.
Hitlers "Mein Kampf" and any Nazi symbols are strictly forbidden.
What cannot be forbidden are Nazis that demonstrate, but for every Nazi there will be 10 Germans that start a anti-Nazi demonstration.
I see a lot of anti-muslim threads on CD, and there are people in Germany that share their disdain toward the Islam, but I have never seen so much disdain like on CD. I wonder if you ever say anything on these threads.
I personally find that very dangerous that so many on here generalize that many muslims and call them all terrorist and such.
To be fair, you do now have one monetary standard throughout, instead of having Deutschemarks, lira, pesetas, francs, etc. The EC--though there is no "capital" of the EC as a unit. It's still less distinct than it used to be.

Thats weird, but I still like his stance on foreign policies and the Patriot Act.
I must look more into the issue you brought up, though.
I cannot speak on behalf of all people around the world, but most people that live in Germany/Europe do think that US Americans are ignorant.
Who can blame them?
I remember when the US planned to attack Iraq many US Americans thought there was a connection between Iraq and 9/11.
And many Americans did not. And many Americans did not vote for shrub in either election. The fact that you are grouping everybody into one pot is bigoted.

I also read a lot of posts here, and while I cannot say that CD is a perfect represenation of the American population, I see a lot of ignorance in the many posts.
At the same time, I have not seen anything intellectually rigorous coming from your posts. Same goes for anyone in this thread or others who like to think "they're all stupid, but me!" It's always everybody else. You're (general you) always the exception. It's so generic. geesh.

It's down right crazy. Just google his name and evolution. I'm surprised you haven't come across it. This information was out of the gates as his campaign got started.

I think I made it clear that not ALL are this and that, but many believed in the connection between 9/11 and Iraq. I think the article said 7 in 10 Americans did. If that was correct, and you project that for the whole population, then yes, its accurate to say that most did.
I never said I was perfect in any sense, but I am willing to learn about the World.
That is why I post on here.
That is why I read books. I started a thread a couple of weeks ago, and asked if people could tell me the difference between "liberal" and "liberatarian". I want to educate myself.
Just look at CD: Many claim Fox news is not biased, even though Murdoch admitted it. Many do not know that Cheney admitted, they no longer link him to 9/11. People think Obama is a Socialist. etc. Thats ignorance to me.
I just wonder if that is a great representation of the US population. I hope not though, and there are many very smart people on here.

RP is a libertarian, he is all for personal freedom thats why he is against the Patriot Act.
Also, From: Ron Paul 2008 Presidential Campaign Committee
To: Ron Shank Ron,
Ron Paul did not raise his hand during that question, it was Tancredo, Huckabee & Brownback who raised their hands. Dr. Paul is physician and believes in evolution.

An article based on some poll taken god knows where. I am never polled. Where do all these polls take place. The 2004 election was very close. Perhaps if you were interested in views that do not support your premise, you might be surprised. Also, many were up in arms over the 2002 state of the union address because it was comprised of information that was already shown to be inaccurate. Many Americans were spitting nails. I'm sure they were not polled.

I did not use the word perfection. It's the confident-I'm-smarter-than-you attitude that always leaves me with a chuckle. And I'm not just charging you, or your country lol. It seems to be a trait that can be found across the board. Damn Interesting • Unskilled and Unaware of It

Sure, there are people that believe Fox News is not biased. There are people that believe what they watch on the tube in general. OTOH, some are keenly aware that the TV is for entertainment/ratings to be taken with caution and often a grain of salt.
