Poll question: One of these is a nation of sheep
One of these is a nation of sheep, people who can easily be led into anything the powers that be desire. The other nation's people are more strong willed and exert control over their government.

Which one is the nation of sheep?

PS: They are listed in no particular order and I'm sorry if I left one off that you are particularly fond of.

2. BULL. FUCKING. SHIT.
Look at the history of these other countries occasionally, even no farther than the beginning of the 20th century. Look at their economies and governments at present.

These other countries may not be any worse than the US, but they are surely no better. To claim that they're good good and we're bad bad is simplistic, idiotic, and...

Take this bullshit insulting poll off our website.

4. Just one?
I don't know, a lot of those countries have some sheepy histories. Those sheeptendencies weren't stopped so much because of the strong will of the people, as much as they were stopped by other centers of power leading their sheep against other sheepfilled countries.

6. The U.S. is the most indoctrinated, brainwashed country on the planet
As Chomsky outlined decades ago with the manufacture of consent, borrowing from popular political opinion of the early 20th century, and how elites had to develop an elaborate means of thought control within democratic society. This country represents a textbook definition of that process.
