If you're looking for The Idiot's View(tm) on current affairs, littlegreenfootballs.com is usually a good place to start. Take this gem, a comment from one of the lizards on the Global Peace Index in which America didn't score very highly:
This isn't a level of peacefulness - it's a level of P*SSY-NESS!
"An armed society is a polite society."
- Navy vet Robert Heinlein
OK, that was fun, wasn't it? But let's take a closer look at the index. Why did the US do so badly? Was it because of its "willingness to fight", as the above commenter claims? No, the US only scores 2/5 on that front.
With '1' being the best, and '5' being the worst score, here's where the US does badly:
Number of jailed population per 100,000 people (5/5)
Ease of access to weapons of minor destruction (3/5)
Respect for human rights (3/5)
Potential for terriorist acts (4/5)
UN Deployments 2006-07 (5/5)
Non-UN Deployments 2006-07 (5/5)
Military capability/sophistication (5/5)
Number of external and internal conflicts fought: 2000-05 (3/5)
Estimated number of deaths from organised conflict (external) (3/5)
But let's return to that idea that the availability of arms makes a society more polite. What do the lizards have to say?
"Amnesty International is a fair example of an organization being run by a flocking bunch of shitbirds."
...
"What a bunch of crock!"
...
"I hate peace activists"
...
"It's like the lefties sit around thinking of ways to make themselves look as stupid as possible."
...
"Man, I wouldn't want to live in any of the most peaceable (peaceful?) countries these loons have chosen."
...
"I think we should bomb all those countries that ranked higher than us, to eliminate the 'Peace Gap'."
And then there's this treasure:
"OT: The moslem who killed himself in Gitmo the other day--burying him in a sensitive way would include stuffing a Jimmy Dean sausage up his butt on the way back to sand land. IMHO"
Ah, it's always a pleasure to discuss important matters with people who know how to be polite...

First the peace activist picture in the site's logo, then this.
First they bash everybody who's different than them for "hating their freedom", and then it turns out they hate peace themselves. Unbe-freaking-lievable.
I've just spent a day browsing the Jersualem Post "talk back" comments.
At least one American suggests that Britain "needs Carpet bombing"
(Because us Brits are all terrist loving antisemite pansy subhumans, I guess).
Another American suggests that any British person attending an "anti-Israeli" demonstration needs to be locked up in isolation with nothing but bread and water.
I hate to say this but Americans are really starting to worry me. Do they realise the irony of fighting a "war against terror" while advocating the carpet bombing and imprisonment of the British?
Do Americans still understand concepts like Democracy, dissent, logical thinking, foreign policy, rule of law and diplomacy?
And what is it with those f***in' Creationsim museums?
Thankfully, surfing the net I can visit plenty of websites, blogs and forums where more reasonable Americans express their opinions.
The more moderate (dare I say left-wing?) Americans had better start thinking very, very carefully about how they can get their country back from the loonies.
I really don't want to wake up one day and find the Americans have dropped nuclear bombs on London and Manchester on the grounds that "They are all Muslims and terrorist supporters over there, anyway".
And please, any Americans reading this, please understand that Europe and Great Britain are not "
Self-destructing as they cowardly embrace their Evil Muslim Overlords"
Compare this comment (which is nothing) to the vile hate on Huffington. No comparison...
