I suppose nothing is going to happen then.

If we could fix it, we would. But we can't, so we shan't.

Prisoner of war torture violates the Geneva Conventions.
Tell me exactly why I'm overeating.
I'm not sure how to fix your overeating problem, but these people have been killed with quite a trail.  Alright, I'm done being a richard.

Remember, drones killing US citizens (who weren't in the US at the time, mind you) isn't exactly common.  The fact that we're still able to report specific cases is (oddly) a good sign.  This isn't to say that it's moral to be killing these people in the first place.

Censorship is not far away?  It's already here, at least in things such as radio and tv.  Worried about the Internet being censored?  Vote against it.

Nothing is getting done?  Quite a bit is getting done, just not the things you would want.  I figure the things you're referring to is fixing the economy.  This isn't exactly easy to do, but I would have to agree that it isn't being handled well at all.  Especially with the looming debt ceiling.

Assuming my voting will do anything at all to persuade congress not to make a bill on internet censorship (It won't) they already have censored the internet. If they can take down websites whenever they please then it's censored.

Not at all. I was referring to the two party system's constant disagreements making it impossible to pass any legislature without the two parties fighting like little girls over who gets the bigger slice.

This has always been going on.

Your just becoming more aware of it as you grow up. Happens to everyone..
This is why life is pain.

Get used to it, the world is a stupid place.

This.

Lol I don't even have to read the OP to tell you it is, for a fact, stufftier as you get older.
Best part is, your expectations arent the only ones that rise with age. People expect more out of a "young adult"

You didn't even read the article did you?
i was pointing out some things that you misspelled.

What does this have to do with what I said at all?  This is still fallout from the killings in tht first article you posted.

a law can't be passed if everyone opposes it.  Also, no, they can't do that.

I'm sure that disagreements would arise without the two party system, but yeah, it's really inefficient at the moment.

We should just elect Badspot as ruler of the world and make the world a happy place.

It's not getting worse, you are just understanding more.

The world has been stuff since the beginning. Just because we stopped wearing robes and togas doesn't mean we're any more advanced in our wordly thinking.

While the world always has been a difficult place, I do think that in some ways it's getting worse. I mean, I'm an American, and we didn't always have so massive a debt. Honestly, sometime other countries will realize that we're broke and America is going to fall apart.
