    Wishful thinking, especially when I believed that MY generation would understand these things and stop things like super right-winged conservative "family values" being pushed through the government.

    New and improved - Instant Karma Whore! Just add water and a sprinkling of "Anti-W" for instant up-modding. Amazing that no matter what the topic, from pickled beets to the Internet's historic effect on children going back 15 years, you idiots can manage to bring Neocons into the topic.

    Your right. It has made me understand and
    realize what a horrible and wretched place
    most of the world is. It has made me realize
    that I don't want anything to do with most
    countries or people around the world. It
    has especially made me aware of why we
    should not be letting hordes of these same
    people into Europe and the United States. But
    most of all it has made me realize that European
    and European-American people are the most
    civilized in the world. That they have a unique
    culture that is distinctly their own and that
    it is worth preserving. I have also come to
    realize that there is no place left on earth
    that people of European descent are able to claim
    as a homeland in which they can be free to
    express themselves (as opposed to other races
    and ethnicity's which do have a homelands).
