Nothing more or less (give or take—heh) than I—or more accurately, the majority of I's—tell them to. I live in Massachusetts, though, so my local government has basically been giving me the shaft (and not in a good way).
My federal government continues to do plenty for me: human rights unrivaled anywhere; continued opposition to totalitarianism, both secular and religious (Cuba, Iran, Nork, various jihadi nutcase groups); virtually limitless employment opportunities, including many that I enjoy (and which enable me to freely contribute to worthy charities worldwide); freedom to say pretty much whatever the hell I want; right to bear arms; security; etc &c.
Living in the nation that leads the way in Western liberal democracy/capitalism is a gift I appreciate daily.

i believe the very definition of being a liberal has something to do with not having someone's hand shuved up your ass
- Your rhetoric makes me believe otherwise.hedge
- rhetoric? see i'm a casual human being not a political shill.oozie

i know what it means but i'm not speaking in any manner to 'persuade' or depend on other common over used means of word use...dog's little peace of drool is rhetoric
"In contraposition to scientific debates , rhetorical arguments, as in politics or even justice, do not make use of demonstrable or tested truths, but resort to fallible opinions, popular perceptions, transient beliefs, chosen evidence or evidence at hand (like statistics), which are all properly called commonplaces as they help establish a commonality of understanding between the orator or rhetor and his/her audience." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhe…
a bunch of BS no one has the balls to bother disagreeing with
- in other words i am simply speaking not spekaing with an agendaoozie

So tell me, why are dog's statements "little piece[s] of drool?" Your arguments aren't rhetoric, you don't have an agenda, you're holier than though, I get it. But you seem to lack fundamental understanding of argumentation.
Intuition tells me you are not from and do not live in the U.S. Am I correct? Why the bitterly negative view of us?
- why assume i'm not from the usa? like that makes differenceoozie
- and you're tellingme i lack argumentation skills when i just argued with you and even brought up a quote and arguementoozie
- ...argument.oozie
- Answer the question, frenchie.hedge
- And stop focusing on whether your statements can be considered rhetoric or not.hedge
- about the negative view of us?...frenchie made me laugh by the wayoozie
- you told me it was rhetoric, it ain'toozie
- "the usa leads the way in nothing liberal or democratic" is RHETORIC. Get over it & answer me.hedge
- it's a bit of blanket statement but not rhetoric. the justification is the real history and reality in the usa, i think it's evidentoozie
- ...evident.oozie
- Pointless.hedge
- just like hedgeoozie
- "Debating" with you.hedge
- i can't debate in these stupid notesoozie
- You can't debate period.
Don't post any more notes.hedge - *can debate. you want full on explanation of why amerikkka doesn't lead in democracy or liberalism ?oozie
- you want a history lesson too?oozie

hedge shut the fuck up. I don't even care to read you "arguments" because you're already labeled a fucking liar. Stop posting and fuck off!
- Hypocrite.hedge
- You're posting to tell me that you don't care?
ok.hedge - I do care about you, I hate you. I love having real debates, but there is nothing real about you... not that I can see anyway.jfletcher
- You falsely associate "real" with "revealed identity."hedge
- i think you know the game a little too well to really believe half the shit you sayoozie
- What game? You really I'm being insincere?hedge
- yepoozie
