- wott 10y agoMost people here are Muricans, they (you?) cannot easily and massively get rid of a more than century old culture based on individualism, short-term thinking, greediness, "bigger is greater" applied to every single aspect of life and society, and oil.
- BurningFrog 10y agoSome people honestly have different opinions and world views than you, without being corrupt, stupid or evil.
- xapata 10y agoYes, but on some issues, otherwise smart people hold amazingly ignorant opinions. I'm sure you can find examples no matter which side of the issue you're on.
