2. Did you read the top comment about us liberals hating freedom and
capitalism. Then he called us hippies and told us to go live in a commune.

:rofl: I was going to reply but decided not to waste my brain farts on that drooling imbecile.

5. Assuming the data is accurate, it's amazing.
...and I think at least the vast majority of it is.


The biggest issue I see is that technology is now progressing at a much faster rate than culture could ever hope to. Essentially, we're no longer searching for solutions to mankind's problems, solutions are coming at us in a torrent and we're trying to positively apply them to current and foreseeable issues.

There's a whole lot of potential there...for both benefit and harm.

6. Whose numbers do you believe?

Specifically,



http://www.internetworldstats.com/top25.htm

Numbers often say what you want them to say. Look at the total number of internet users per country, and we are at the top (at least in this statistical analysis).

Think about the geographical area of our country in comparison with the others. We have a much larger infrastructure to build, and it is happening very quickly.
