saying george carlin is better than black is like pointing out that the sky is blue…though carlin hit is stride and has since slowed down….except for Jersey Girl…that was art.

wow….

ummm Matt….it’s been a while since i commented and far be it from me to say how the site should be run but out of curiosity - why are you entertaining this circus?

Believe what you want pal, it’s your life, not mine. George Bush and his crew have kept no safer than than you were before 2000, in fact your NOT as safe as you were. But believe everything they tell you.

As to the the Lewis Black/Carlin comparison, like I care what you think. Carlin makes most stand-ups look like their standing still. Thanks for your news flash though. Now, back to your unquestioning patriotism.

Now, please explain how 9/11 happened while Bush was protecting you.

Thanks for keeping your composure buddy, but to answer your question; no I’m not retarded.

But it sure seems like you know all the answers and no doubt some of our Country’s greatest minds are sub-par comedians who’s only gimmick is wagging his stupid finger like Lewis Black (George Carlin makes Black look like the retard). So why don’t you go ahead and explain why North Amercia and the rest of the world is going to be a safer place with Hilary Clinton as President. Take your time pal. No rush.

To quote Lewis Black: Are you fucking RETARDED????

Weak on defense? And your empirical data on this was from a double-blind sample right? Please, enough of staid rhetoric. It’s old and tired and doesn’t stand up under scrutiny. Always remember, on Sept 11,2001 GEORGE BUSH was the President. Wow, he really protected you that day. Maybe if he hadn’t of ignored Richard Clarke’s warning, or better yet, wasn’t on vacation for most of the first 9 month’s of his Presidency, MAYBE, just MAYBE, it wouldn’t of happened!

Congratulations, your an unquestioning patriot, democracy’s greatest enemy.

I don’t want to start a flame war here, but there’s no way that post was real. People like that don’t really exist. Did you just say “bad muslims”?

okgirls2003:
Here’s one for you: All governments lie to their populace. It’s a fact. So to say what they do is “horseshit” shows your naivette. How do you know it’s horseshit? The answer is you don’t, your just assuming. And Always remeber, when they start rounding up the undesireables for treason in facsist states, they always kill the political dissidents and academics first.

wait,

my bad.

Somebody DID tell them.

It must be true.

To add to that, I’m a psychology major and I’ve done some extensive reading on false confessions and manufactured memories. It can take just 8 hours of intense interrogation to get someone to produce a false confession to a crime of murder. Imagine: what confessions can one get from someone through water-boarding?

Can corruption be defined by Israel’s refusal to admit that it even has a nuclear program, or allow the UN to investigate that possibility, when it and others demand that Iran must be stopped at all costs and use the UN to do their bidding when Palestinians have absolutely no ability to use the UN for purposes of aiding their struggle?

China has for decades occupied Tibet, Russia is still in the Caucasus, where it points to American actions in the war on terror as justification for its policies in Chechnya and elsewhere in the region, the government in Khartoum remains in power and supports the Janjiweed militias primarily because they control the oil and China is their biggest customer, Somalia has seen US influence return to support those they once combated a decade ago while they use the Ethiopians as proxies and get to sell some weapons on the side, the US trades nuclear technology with India, who has the bomb, and who has also not ratified the NPT, while Iran has ratified the NPT but is denied the right to nuclear energy. The contradictions and corruptions are countless. The point is, who has the power to ultimately influence, to take the lead in altering the trend?

Abraham Lincoln once wrote that he would rather move to Russia where despotism wasn’t concealed rather than live with democratic hypocrisy. He was the first Republican president of the United States. What the hell has happened since is anyone’s guess.

Matt, you pretty much said what needed to be said but I have 2 things to add:

1) I am not Matt’s yes man I just happen to share many of his views on issues of the day

2) Why shouldn’t we be picking on the biggest bully? There are many sides to the war going on right now and the human rights violations of all nations involved have been addressed on this site. The U.S has made repeated claims that it is the greatest nation on earth and that everybody looks up to them. If that is true, then any corruption and any human rights violations that take place within thier government are particularly harmful. Is this what we are meant to look up to? A nation that laughs in the face of the Geneva conventions and resorts to water boarding as an acceptable tactic? I’d liken that to the boy who has a wife beating father as a role model.
As I said before, if our leaders start pursuing their own interests, and not the interests of their nations and of our global community, democracy fails and we are left with little more than suspicion and bitterness and a world full of people with nothing but contempt. The U.S needs to check itself and perhaps instead of pursuing the goal of being the greatest nation on earth, we can all work together and form a global community that is based on mutual respect for our differences. Forgive me for being hippy with a pipe dream.

I will say this as well….What the US Government tells the population of the world in newspaper, broadcasts, bulletins etc etc, is one thing, but what they are actually doing behind the scenes is another. They want us to think they are doing things for the greater good, but in reality it’s all a bunch of horse shit!

Not one country is perfect or better than the next, but they deceive us with lies. MattGood.org is a place for people like myself to express our frustrations, and to let others know, that there are alot of people thinking the very same thing. No, as a group we can’t “defeat” the “bully” but it takes one voice. Here we are voicing our opinions, “we won’t stand for the crap that is being handed to us” We need to stand up and at least be heard.

One more thing, if we don’t do anything, then we can only blame ourselves for how bad its going to get.

Bobby: An interesting thing about the statement you’ve made is, I think, that it is a commonly held opinion among many. I’ve heard it countless times that “sure governements are corrupt, but hey, at least we aren’t THAT bad”. Corruption in the government is absolutely intolerable to any degree. We can not allow corruption to become the status quo, because when there is corruption, democracy fails by default because those meant to be leading us begin leading their own interests. I think you’d be shocked to find exactly how corrupt the U.S government is. Anytime anything in this war has gone wrong not a single person has stepped up to take full accountability for it. Not Rumsfeld, not Cheney, not Bush or anybody else in his administration. It is always pawned off on some subordinate and its truly pathetic that we allow it to continue. The fact that the military commissions act was ever allowed to be thought of let alone drafted and written to law is a testament to how corrupt the government is. They have stripped the rights of their people entirely. Least corrupt indeed.
