New Zealander didn't hang up his cellphone when asked, got arrested for being a terrorist with no formal charges against him. Spent 2 years in that suspected terrorist prison. FINALLY got released and straight away got arrested leaving the courtroom for overstaying by one and a half years.
He can still see the funny side in it at least lol.

now there is something to be said for the system of electing representatives and the influence that business has. however, that has always been there it seems. yet, sometimes it's worse than others. it's complexity is maddening really when you consider the efforts of business, and private wealth to shape popular opinion in america. i just can't do a list, it's a project more suited to an indefinite run of books.

I would like just LIST**** note a list of things that are corrpt within the american in biz, pollotics, socally, or anything... go
pretty much everything that is interweaved with another that is corrupt allready plays some part, so the answers are too vast to list. Everything usually all leads to government though.

Then you can go from there and discuss the current war we are in and how it is unnecesary and pointless.
You could also show how the media is corrupt in the fact they are selective on what they chose to report on and how they try to use scare tactics on the american people.
This is just a start.......

Yes, compare it with the prices in Great Britain and I am sure people will think otherwise about their petrol prices!Gas Prices, I really hope you don't mean Petrol...
So many American's piss and moan about Petrol prices over there.. But it's SO cheap.
The corruption in America... well... Bush, McDonalds, The Patriot Act, US Secret Service, SUVs and Bush!
Of course, I might simply be going by the anti-American propaganda.
P.S. I know I said Bush twice!

Umm currupted things........Anyone played all the Metal Gear Solid games where the president is really just a figurehead for the patriots. Well something like that is happening but we dont know who it is imo. The ''people above the president'' were also behind killing JFK because he was trying to change theier system.

Not really free since it's social medicine and that means you guys pay for it with taxes....Kind of an ambiguous thing to ask since corruption is a relative term...
But I guess I'll go with Healthcare (because I live in Canada and our Healthcare is free).
Anyway--you want proof that our government is corrupt, take a look at Nixon. Watch 'All the President's Men'..it's a pretty good movie about Watergate. I would be sure that the US is more corrupt now than it was back then.
Also, I think we went to war for our Vice President's CEO friends at Halaburten (or however you spell it) to make money from the government. Don't get me wrong; I support our troops and our people, but I don't think we should be screwing around in places thousands and thousands of miles away just because we don't like their form government (why didn't we learn from Vietnam?)...we're not even really after Osama or terrorists anymore; we'rejust implanting our government, supposedly democracy.

the corruption begins with this phoney balogny assignment. i suggest the teacher resure their own vision of dignified success on a more darwinian line: survival of your genetic line....and death to your competition.
besides, if we hold onto this communistic view of a pure and shameless lifestyle, we'll live in a very boring place....

$1 US per litre
£0.5 per litre
Euro 0.7 per litre
These are all rough estimates.. not on the dot calculations.
But thats a lot of money for fuel.
