I'm a fierce conspiracy theorist, they are spying on us and can see through walls, and are operating on aliens in area-51! Haha j/k yeah I trust my gov't even though I live in the US and 90% of people who live here constantly think that the government is somehow out to get us. We just live here and pay the taxes so naturally they are out to get us

I live in the USA and I do not trust the goverment. I don't think they are out to get us or anything like that. I just don't trust them. But then again for the most part I don't trust anyone. That and I think there is to many self-centered people in office right now. Those that belong are outnumbered by those that don't. It's sad to see it this way....

Needs be more selectable answers, Thier is a wide range between total trust and total distrust
Everyone trusts them to a "point" just depends how far that trust goes...

Well you either do or you dont, i thought about putting a 'somewhat' option but i though if you dont trust one part of a government then you dont fully trust them. Theres no in between, you either do or you dont...

yea but between 0% trust and 100% trust there are 99 diffrent levels.
But even those who say they don't do to some exatant weather they want
to belive it or not... That a goverment is made of people it comes down do
you trust the people that make up the goverment and at all levels from city
to the fedral level.

Makeing them choose betwen fully trust and complely distrust is a but extreme...

A good exaple of this is you trust me right? You trust me to fallow threw at doing something.... But would you trust me with your wallet full of money?
probubly not. There are diffrent kinds and diffrent levels of trust. It's no
where near "black and white" or a clear as "yes or no"

True to a certain extent... I spose the bigger question would be do you trust your government to thing things thats in the best interest for you (average joe blow) or the best interest for them, big instudry and personal gain and profit.

Example: Tax cuts for the rich to gain support and contribution...

UK Government.. Labour...

To a point yes but no government is perfect......but id vote for labour any day over the opposition..for the main reason im 'working class' and labour offer more for for us...

Especially being self employed..

Its an election year here so getting politicians to promise things is easy, its getting them to follow through on those promises thats the hard part. We have a low corruption level, our parliament is diverse and I like to think we keep our politicians on a short leash so I trust them.

I don't trust my government. Although I do think Tony Blair could probably walk on water right now if he wanted to. He has done so many amazing things. I think the whole Iraq thing is completely behind him now. He is a true statesman of international stature.

Falstaff · Jul 30, 2005, 07:14 AM

I trust myself more.....
now that is a scary thought eh?

Warpy · Jul 30, 2005, 07:18 AM

I don't trust any government since money is what drives men.
