A government is only as good as the people who are in it, who are just as simple-minded as I have stated.

We are talking about trust like in a man's word, not in an unspoken action that can possibly happen.

Nevertheless, I do not trust absolutely in a man's word that he says he will do this or won't do that.
If I sometimes screw up and let slip my word, I know that other people will too.

I agree with John, you can never trust another man fully. There is no 100% guarantee that he will keep his word.

Here's a question: do you think you could trust yourself fully?

E.g. I was at an adventure park once and there was this zip line thing where you had to hold on with no harness (not a big drop) and my mate said to me something like 'I don't trust myself to hold on'.

It's hard to believe something fully when someone says it. Like a promise for change, when he has no intention of changing a thing.

I always try and keep my word when I give it, I don't give someone my word unless I know I can keep it in first place. However, I agree that not many people value their word as they once had.

Obama is going to face a lot of flak during his presidency. He was left with a lot of problems that happened during the Bush Administration, like how to end our economic crisis, end our high rates of unemployement and end the conflict in the Middle East.

I do have trust in him, and so do the other two thirds of the US when we voted for him during the elections

TroubleMaker, of course I don't fully trust myself.
I ain't perfect.
I don't think anyone truly trusts themselves completely.
