Biggest threat to Western Civilisation?

[DanskiWolf]

Interested to know peoples' opinions.  

[Rainbowfied Mouse]

Islam Extremists
Anti-Christian Atheists
Radical American Conservatives
Radical American Liberals
Extreme Christians
The Greedy Rich people (best example being the recent Bailout)
Crude Oil  

[Othello_ollehtO]

Actually I don't think the Islam Extremists are that much of a threat. They are so few of the Islamic population...But... there isn't always power in numbers...
But, pretty much I agree with Mouse:
Anti-Christian Atheists
Radical American Conservatives
Radical American Liberals
Extreme Christians
The Greedy Rich people (best example being the recent Bailout)
Crude Oil
But the biggest one being our collapsing government (Our nation is going to hell and most of us don't even realize it) We're left in ignorance, we have the wool pulled over our eyes. Our "Democracy" is falling and crumbling right at our feet slowly turning communist. They take away our rights subtly one by one, bit by bit. So much so we'll stop one day and think "Hmm, didn't we have more freedom ten years ago?"
Then stop another day and say "Hmm, you know, That there China's government is looking pretty good"

Russia doesn't present much of a problem, and neither does China altough both are threats. Aside from anything else internal factors are much more a threat. The threats include:

The Republican Party
The Democratic Party
Our new president elect, Barack Obama
Globalists
The failing economy
National Debt
etc, etc, etc.  

[Rainbowfied Mouse]

I sometimes question if our own government is our biggest threat. They seem to be slowly, but surely, getting more and more into our business... taking rights, as Othello_ollehtO said, slowly... for cases of "security"?! Is this what our founding fathers intended?  

[Garrett31212]

I disagree. More government is not the problem, but rather less government.

An inbalance of power is a threat, if the government gets too powerful, we could end up in a facist state, if the government doesn't have enough power, we have chaos. There has to be a balace of power, that's why the three branches of power were put into place.

...So no problems then. What about government irresponsibility?

Out of curiosity, what are some things you think the government should have more power over? Besides the housing industry.

gaia's ED forum...

really takes the "ED" out of "EDUCATION"...

Islam is threatening my county. a teacher from a college and a friend of my grandparents made a speech about Radical Islam and some of them from Seattle showed up wanting to interupt is speech. they never got a chance, but they did ram into his truck, because he is a target after making that speech.

One, you spelled "fascist" wrong, and two you're speaking to a Fascist.

The government should have the power to do what's necessary to acheive the best interests of the nation. True, there is governmental irresponsibility in some cases, but there is irresponsibility in private initiatives as well.

Anywayz, my vote is for Political Correctness. If it wasn't for PCness, a lot of the others wouldn't be as threatening. If we didn't suck up to Islamofascists by branding any criticism of terrorism as "racist" we would be better equipped to crush the threat.

PCness is really stupid. There was an article about how a Canadian university went back on its decision to hold a fundraiser for cystic fibrosis research because the disease mainly affects white people, particularly males and thus the fundraiser wasn't "inclusive". I ain't kidding...  

[Garrett31212]

DanskiWolf, I'm honestly not surprised. That sounds exactly like something the Canadians and liberals in general would do. Political Correctness is a big problem, I agree. Just not the biggest.
