Do you honestly believe that a philosophical minority that consists of perhaps 7% of the US population is the biggest problem in the nation? Newsflash: Minorities in the US have precious little political power unless they're strongly united; "heathens" in this country are about as united as North and South Korea.

And the world, too? Are you kidding?

 

[rahma]

I can pretty much sum it all up in one:

Groups who feel that they need to impose their ideology/way of life/freedom/democracy/whatever through the use of offensive force.

Heathens are defined by their actions not how they label themselves.

 

[The Pinata]

Now I could take the easy way out and for both, just say Dubya (not really), but I'll be a bit more elaborate.

World
Volatile Climates in Middle East and Africa as well as Korean Peninsula
Political Extremists of all Ideologies
Unopposed Totalitarian Dictatorships under the guise of Communism
Famine and Living Conditions in Third World

USA
Devastation of our national defense and first responders.
Political Extremists of all Ideologies
The decay of social services such as welfare and healthcare.
The division of America between the rich and the working.

And this is why I support Kerry. Bush has proven that he is incompetent at resolving any of these international or national issues.

 

[Bilal]

The world:

- the masters of the world, adepts of the occult
- their puppets: the so-called rulers
- their prostitutes: the media
- their vocation: DISORDER

 

[Western Deity]

>AIDS
>Incorrect philosophies (eg. thinking that free-will and responsibility exist)
>The fact that fossil fuels are going to run out soon
>Conservative Christianity

^ This is how I see the world.

 

[Touring3D]

The world:

The lack of freedom.

People around the world who hate the U.S. even though she has freed so many.

 

[Individual-KesTrel]

I think that media's policy of all violence is reported is a tragic turn for my country.

The constant glorification of violence as a solution, when it most certinly is not.

However, hope remains as we still have people such as Martin Luther King to look at for refrence here.

 

[hemis]

My Country:
Media interpetation of political events
Election/presidential
Government Grant Allocation
Arms supply to foreign nations

World:
AIDS
Educational centres
Established government
Economic efforts between neighbooring nations

 

[gop_ryan]

My Country:
Affirmative Action
Still too many social programs
Too timid of foreign policy which is partually restrained by political correctness
Division over the definition of right and wrong

World:
Anti-Americanism
Anti-Semitism
60% of the nations in the UN are not democracies
Nations lacking security forces to deal with internal problems
Lack of right and wrong

For my country:

"Today, at the same time young Americans are dying in the sands of Iraq, and the mountains of Afghanistan, our country is being torn apart, and made weaker by the Democrats manic obsession to bring down our Commander-in-Chief." -Senator Zell Miller(D)

Our soldiers are fighting terrorism, and freeing people around the world. But, the Democrats tear down our troops' morale, and boost the terrorists morale. It is shameful what the Democratic party has become. I used to be a Democrat, but NO LONGER! I am a veteran of U.S. Armed Forces, and I resent the leaders of the Democratic party. They anger me, and every other veteran I know.

"Today, at the same time young Americans are dying in the sands of Iraq, and the mountains of Afghanistan, our country is being torn apart, and made weaker by the Democrats manic obsession to bring down our Commander-in-Chief." -Senator Zell Miller(D)

What a silly quote! The "Democrats manic obsession" is infact called an 'Election', which occurs in what is called a 'Democracy'. Sounds like either you aren't too familiar with that concept or you want to opt for a dictatorship under your "manic obsessed...CIC."
