So i guess this is what happens when i get bored. What do u think is wrong with ur countries' goverment?

The US goverment has major problems, the worst (for me) is New York. Really Coumo? The people.of New York are barely allowed to use their guns, and crimials arent gunna follow the laws. FIX IT!!!

For starters, its inability to balance a budget, creating hyperinflation (ex: raising minimum wage), congressional gridlock, putting science at the bottom of the list, apathy toward civilians (foreign and domestic), political campaigns in which cash generally decides victory, an education system geared toward shoving everyone through, dishonesty until it's caught with its pants down, a lack of enforcement (ex: recreational marijuana. Either amend the federal laws, or do something about it.), a lack of responsibility except when the outcome is favorable.

My country has a bad lineup of government officials. They don't really pay attention to the populace, they are only concerned for themselves. We also have a lot of corrupt government agencies and pretty much everything here has taxes. While commodity prices shoots up, wages still stay the same.

Emp basically hit it on head so hard he buried it in the ground.

just to be clear, your argument here is that because criminals won't follow the laws we shouldn't have them?

The biggest issue would be the money in politics. Most of the government these days is bought off by whoever contributed the most money to their campaign.

I agree with all!
And no, i meant with the crimials, that the laws should be loosened, because crimials wouldnt follow them anyway.
Cleared that up right?

That was his question - Why should we shoot ourselves in the foot by further loosening laws that have not worked out entirely as planned?That's not a very sound argument; reducing the scope of a law just because a few black sheep don't follow them. But we aren't here to do a gun argument.

I think the biggest problem for my country's government is not the lack of efficiency, or acumen, or foresight, or excellent policy making, but a lack of human interaction, that leads many on the ground to think the government is useless, when in actual fact, they're the ones working hard to ensure the smooth running of things. And that in turn leads to a gradual but worrying build up of anger and unsatisfaction, much of it unwarranted IMO.

Unneeded unification of a divided people through poorly planned medicare plans, baby socialism, and cramming legions of tribes together for no apparent reason seems to be the latest thing our government likes doing. It's like America except our economy is worse. ._.

Oh, where do I start? Firstly, the current leading party is the conservatives. They are a right wing party whose leadership is almost entirely landed aristocrats with no idea how to connect to the working class, but the opposition, the slightly more left wing labour party, are led by Ed Miliband, the most uninspiring politician I have ever seen. But the current most anoying thing in the government is this guy:
His name is Michael Gove, he is the education secretary and I hate him. This would be irrational, but the largest teaching union passed a unanimous vote of no confidence in him. He is also startlingly incompetent. He appears to be under the impression that it is possible to make state and private schools the same, that it is possible to make the exam results of children from all areas regardless of background,and that the 'vast majority' of pupils should study maths to the age of 18, and most stupidly of all, that anyone can teach, and it requires no professional knowledge whatsoever. There is a whole website dedicated to him:

blk, i agree with u a bunch!
Remember the Zimmerman, Trevon Martin trial? There were no accounts the Martin attacked Zimmerman, so they let him go. Keep him, at least under house arrest (nothing that serious though) until there is more evidence against or for Zimmerman. It make no sense!

You can't arrest someone without evidence of a crime.

Also, like Matt may or may not have been saying, apparently, the government thinks that self defense isn't a think. These left-wing lunatics are driving this country into the ground.


Matt was talking about Argentina. Just to clear up any confusion.

Carry on.
