Help me out: is that a yes or a no? No-one (sane) trusts anyone (let a lone some vague entity) unconditionally. (O wait, I also trust them to royally fuck up.)

Title: Re: Poll - Do you trust your government? Post by: dotcom on September 10, 2012, 11:21:43 PM Well trust is a vague term
So lets go through the list (I'm an American btw)... Do I trust my government to do what it promises? Nope... Do I trust my government to be transparent on non-national-security issues? Nope... Do I trust my government to place individual rights and freedoms over money? Nope... Do I trust my governments various parties to not sell out to corporations and media organizations? Nope... Do I trust my government to give us factual information on the wars we are involved in (such as # of civilian casualties on both sides)? Nope... I think ima vote no...

Title: Re: Poll - Do you trust your government? Post by: evolve on September 10, 2012, 11:37:00 PM I trust my government to make poor decisions based on the whims of the corporations and special interest groups that pay for elected officials to get into office.
I trust my government to make the rich wealthier at the expense of (and on the backs of) the working class and the poor. I trust the government to sway the public to vote against their best interests. I trust the government quite a bit... |
