What point would that be?I contend that we are both Atheists. I just believe in one fewer god then you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you'll understand why I dismiss yours. -
Ok, someone actually DID vote for it...
I didn't think there was someone deranged enough to think of the US as totalitarian and oppressive... you may think that the 2000 elections were undemocratic, and Bush is violating some people's rights by not giving them a trial, but it doesn't compare in ANY WAY to any of the other countries listed there.Comment

The point that many people will vote for the US, even if they don't believe it, just to be a smart-ass?If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.Comment

IMHO China presents the greatest long term challenge to world peace."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003Comment

USA is so totalitarian and oppressive that many ppl dont even realize being under "the invisible oppression"Que l’Univers n’est qu’un défaut dans la pureté de Non-être.

The US shouldn't even be on that list. The only people who would vote for the US is Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden and some wacked out liberals from France and Germany.
The greatest threat to world peace is North Korea. Followed by China.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment

Fez, Why to you put DPRK ahead of China? Is it because of the imminent nature of the threat or the magnitude?"I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic.

China seems a bit more at ease in the case of threatening the United States... they just don't do it as often as the DPRK does. Sure China and the US has had a ton load of problems in relations... it seems relations are cool. And China will not want to risk the up to $100 billion worth of trade it has with the US. (Let me recheck the numbers just incase, I brought up Asian/North American trade amounts before).For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

The People of North Korea suffer more than any other people outside of a African battle zone. People in those other countries listed (yes, even the US) don;t experience the same level of indoctrination and depravation North Koreans suffer.
Of course, Congo or Liberia are much better choices for worst hell hole on earth.
Edit: Lybia, Syria, Cuba, Iran are no more repressive than Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan. Why were these states left out?If you don't like reality, change it! me

It seems to me that you are saying immediancy, not magnitude?"I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic.

GePap, I just couldn't imagine living in Congo. What's the average life expectancy there? Isn't it like 29 or 30?"I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic.

That is just about the life expectancy.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.
