It seems to me that the majority of Americans are unanimously enraged at the slightest mention of socialism. I'm not saying socialism is good or bad, but I find that if any policy/bill brought up has properties that even resemble being socialist, everyone yells "NO!" before even weighing the pros and cons of said policy.

Edit: Changed the title to something more appropriate ;)

Edit 2: I am NOT saying in any way, shape or form that the States should be socialist, on the contrary they should stay capitalist. I'm just saying that certain ideas shouldn't be shut down without consideration.

Well I accepted the fact long ago that 90% of all people are idiots, and since America has roughly 300 million people that's 270 million idiots. For some reason I think most people don't really know what socialism even really is.

As far as Health Care is concerned I don't really know why people would be against government health care other than blatant ignorance. We are the only first world country that doesn't have government healthcare. We spend the most on health care with the least benefit. We have the lowest (or one of the lowest) infant mortality rates among first world countries. Yet, people seem to think that insurance coorperations, who make a habit of dropping people from care when they start to cost to much, are better than a government plan.

Lastly, I would say looking at many decisions and arguments and agendas in Congress that we are not moving towards Socialism nearly as much as we are already Corpratism with most representatives bought and paid for on one issue or another.

I have very tan skin (lifeguard), really not avoidable. Personally I like tanned skin (at least a little) because it looks better in contrast to my body hair. Hell, where my swimsuit cuts off I go from boardline latino too albino.

Barring Pixar movies the only worthwhile movie Disney has recently released is Pirates of the Caribean: Curse of the Black Pearl.

NO!!!

Just thought I'd add my complex and insightful philisophical beliefs to the conversation.

And hopefully we can soon add District 9 to the list as well.

I think grammar would make staring these girl people in the eyes much easier.

The media has found that fearmongering sells. So that's what they provide. And far too many people listen.

Have you considered Graphic Design...

or if you would go Computer Science there always seems to be places looking for good techies (wether for web-design, networking, programming specific apps, etc.) You don't have to be a genius at math (it helps) but it isn't like you're trying to prove general relativity.
