Re: America is a shithole.
It's been going this way moreso since about 1990.

There's a few factors I directly point the finger at for this country quickly becoming a shithole:

1) overpopulation (mass immigration doesn't help starting with Reagan in 1980 and electing a minority only makes them think it's a free-for-all here)

2) NAFTA - nice job Clinton. That's just what we need...to allow free trade with mexico. What can they possibly offer us that we didn't already have 100x more of, except illegals.

3) Progessives and extremist liberals and the wish to obtain multiculturism - it just don't work. Get it through your head.

4) Media lies and biased being shoved down our throats - how can anyone say they believe a word that is written or spoke today in any media format? P-fucking-lease

5) Greed by nearly everyone I come across (or the wish to attain riches). Once they are 80 and start realizing they ran a race for their entire life and could have been happier living easier they'll wake up.

6) Excessive expectations from women - not sure if this was a fall-out of the women's movement or what.
 Quoting: anonymous arsehole 20957966


I agree with all of this. Bravo. Though I believe immigration reform and opening the floodgates to the 3rd world began in the mid 1960s under LBJ, but took 20 years to become self-evident.

7) This country is too big to govern with one federal government....too many different sub-cultures, religions, immigrants, languages...won't work.

8) Corruption in gov't, state, and local. Corruption in banking, insurance, municipalities, you name it.

9) The people here are weak...I repeat weak morally and have ZERO values and integrity. I quit.
 Quoting: anonymous arsehole 20957966


In the past, one federal government did the job just fine. I guess you're saying population wise, we've become too big. But the reason for that over extension is due to all of the multicultural pollution. I guess the government actually signed its own death warrant by promoting it all.

But then, if he Fed is too big, the next point just seems to say local govt. is too small, just a bunch of petty fiefdoms.

As for the people being weak...matter of debate. I think many people aren't as morally weak as you say, but they're weak in terms of not openly voicing their objections for fear of being ostracized.

Re: America is a shithole.
What do you expect?

999 channels of reality and bartering television that old people zombie out on.

The same architectural buildings that are as much emotionally as they are economically efficient being built all over the country selling shit in side that is just a devoid of value as the nutrients in the food.

The money educated people would use to create is instead being spent to pay loans that grow as fast as they are payed.. That are the foundation of jobs that only require the skill to talk on the phone and the ethics to squeeze as much money out of nothing as possible so the employees have enough beer money to forget how fucking depressing it is..

This is a problem. Most people choose to go to school because they want to better themselves and the world. You ignorant fucks can comment all day long about how worthless Jeans infant psychology degree is but it doesn't change the fact that instead of making a difference in the world she's ready to shoot herself.

And it makes people like me no longer have the ability to contribute towards anything that you may benefit from because hatred has touched their very soul.

"But in reality, it really depends on your own perception and where your sitting. Highlands Ranch or Detroit. Does your brain function correctly or are your nano peptides not lining up to the right receptors.

Aww, this is some funny shite. jerkit sheep Talk about the blind and the biased. I notice you haven't said a word about all the damage done by Republicans - from massive deregulation of industry and banking, to fighting exorbitantly-priced wars that destabilized the countries we invaded and made a random few people very, very wealthy, to cutting tax rates on the wealthiest, while letting those wealthy multinationals export jobs, inflate their prices and keep wages so low no one can live on them, refusing to invest in infrastructure - the commons - which is crumbling all around us. I could go on.pump2

sheeplebah But you keep watching Fox Noos propoganda and telling yourself it's them gays and librulls and uppity wymmins and black people.

"tinkle down" has not, will not, and never will feed America. You are a really funny guy, though!

The changes that are now happening in America are happening worldwide. This change is not about just the U.S., but about this whole reality! You are only looking at a small piece of the puzzle...
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16503590


THIS ^^

OP thinks it's the just the US because he hasn't lived elsewhere

I have lived many places, and the prison walls are rising everywhere I look

Furthermore, Americans are much more aware, as a whole, and defiant than many other nations

But if you have never left this country its easy to blame the US and think the rest of the world is a garden, when it isn't

I guess thats the way the elite want it: have us blaming ourselves and not realizing its a global shift.

If we woke and realized its a global move, then we might unite and fight back. However, with OPs attitude, we never will, because we will think the problem is local and would change if only we could run away to that perfect desert island

Re: America is a shithole.
The Economic imbalances are off the chart but the people have a slave mentality that is so programmed by media that they blame themselves or either think the "other guy" is the problem.

A bunch of poor and debt slaves who are taxed constantly even if they don't pay income tax, their income is smaller so every other tax bites deeper.

The Rich sit behind gates and in skyscrapers fearing the day when the people wake up and demand equity,so they make the slaves feel connected to them through T.V. shows,Facebook and Twitter.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 595073


"America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, "It ain't no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be." It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters....

Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say, Napoleonic times.

Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves. Once this is understood, the disagreeable behavior of American enlisted men in German prisons ceases to be a mystery."

Well said...

A sad part of history that so many people dont remember...and this is just history, not an agenda.

Disparity of living conditions has started a few wars...not so long ago...the people were so backed into a corner, they listened to whoever told them what they felt they needed to hear...

So we had...

The French Revolution

The Bolshevik Revolution

The revolution of the People's Republic of China

The Cuban Revolution.

None of these went so well for the people after the fact...desperate people will do anything and damn the consequences. Perhaps it went a little better for France, but I am sure some French folks would say not.

This is not outside the realm of possibility right here, right now. I hear so many folks saying it's what they want to happen...but have you ever stopped to think

"What if it did happen?"

Have you stopped to consider what happens if the wrong faction wins? It could happen...further splintering this place into a war zone...only it would be literally a war zone from coast to coast, border to border.

Oh well....

"If it is such a shithole, why don't you leave?"

Hahaha, I wish I could leave.

I'm another one of the growing demographic of the highly educated homeless that has been victimized by this shitty government.

I would love to leave, however my slavery has disabled me.

My assets have been stolen, insurance won't cover anything (even if they did the deductibles are brutal).

Among my assets stolen was a wallet with my photo ID/drivers license. The DMV won't replace it because I don't have an address (homeless).

Now I can't even get a passport to get the fuck out of here or apply for much of anything because I don't even have my ID. Additionally, I work two jobs but apparently that isn't good enough here to afford shelter here.

It has basically become illegal to live out of your car here. Most municipal codes outlaw it. Additionally, with all the parking codes everywhere, it is really hard to find somewhere safe... Every night is basically hoping I don't get picked up...

I'm sick and tired of being harassed by the police (who are taking my money out of my paychecks just to harass me and write me more tickets). I'm sick of the insurance companies collecting premiums by legal force and not dishing out when making a legitimate claim. I'm sick of the GMO Monsanto fake food, I'm sick of banks gambling all our money out and their greed. I'm sick of fake elections and the growing poverty. I'm sick of the over-surveillance of the NSA and cameras on every intersection. I'm sick of housing and education inflation while our constitution getting raped by this new world order psychotic bullshit. I'm sick of television and everything wrong with it. I'm sick of the trillions of dollars spent on wars to extend an unsustainable economy and energy crisis. I'm sick of our congress taking billion dollar vacations on shut downs. I'm sick of big pharma, big oil, real estate, motor companies, insurance, and banks writing all the laws. I'm sick of the lies we are taught in school and in the media. I'm sick of the growing prison system. Lastly I'm sick of our bunked attempt at health care - what a joke.

Call me unpatriotic, but none of this is what America is about, but what has become. Nothing but rank ignorance, greed, and stupidity.

"If its so bad, why don't you leave." Believe me I wish I could... but I'm trapped.
