Well, you have to admit America is hypocritical when it says we are all equal, even blacks and Mexicans, then breeds feelings of hatred toward the Middle East because certain groups of them want American influence out.

And the Middle East is trying to use the media to turn the children on us. Apparently there's kids shows over there with stuff like the Mickey Mouse equivalent stabbing George Bush to death for saying that all of Iraq is his, and I guess other various kid shows teach them to embrace martyrdom.

Have to admit americans are hypocritical? I practically scream it from the rooftops. Americans tend to be hypocritical, selfish ,self-centered(those are 2 different things) apathetic and ignorant.

Note: not everyone is like this nor are other countries necessarily any better.

I'm not really arguing here but I think we're all hypocrites and it's not all bad. It's wrong to support massive corporations who exploit people and charge 10x the production cost, but at this point, it's almost impossible to completely drop out of society and not support these things. If you go to work for a Walmart, sure, it's just a job for you to get by (understandable) but ultimately you're hurting the world.

Oh the dilemma. Capitalism, you're so silly.

It's virtually impossible to be a part of modern society and not be a hypocrite to a point. It's tragic but you just have to do what you can.

It's not just walmart, it's virtually anything in modern society. You are no more a hypocrite than I am.

Man, I used Walmart as a really well known example, nothing more.

Though I do think your complete apathy is kind of disgusting. Moving on..

Edit: Talking to knox.

Stereotyped?
Read my post again, especially this part:
If you go to work for a Walmart, sure, it's just a job for you to get by (understandable) but ultimately you're hurting the world.


No stereotyping there at all.
