Hell, if GFY is any gauge, the citizens of those countries/continents don't get as involved in discussions about their politics as they do about our politics. They can't help but jump into a discussion about what we are doing, but they never seem to talk about what is going on in their own house.

I agree. The only time I talk about my own government here in Canada, or my provincial government here in BC, is when I'm venting. Our government is fucked beyond all recognition, and most of us recognize this. Likewise, I feel the same about the American government, be it federal or state. I jump in on american political discussions because I have a hard time comprehending why so many people down south don't feel the same way about their shoddy government, as i feel about mine. Governments are evil. I don't care how nice and friendly a countries government may be. It's still evil. What has government done? Turn people against one another, cause hatred that leads to wars and trade embargos. And all war and trade embargo's lead to is more death and more hate. And death and hate lead to more wars and trade embargos. It's a viscious circle that will not end until our species ceases to exist.
