Anonymous Coward User ID: 26401972 Netherlands 08/13/2013 11:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sadly I agree. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3763337 But the first thing I thought when I saw this thread was...this is where we have ended up as a country. Unreal that only fifty or sixty years ago, people slept with their doors unlocked. Fixed that for you. The rest of the world doesn't live in a fear-based culture. Bullshit. You ever been to Mexico and seen how they have 7 foot concrete walls around their houses with jagged broken bottles stuck in cement at the top? Also my friend when to Nairobi and said there's hired guards with machine guns outside all shops. Just two tiny examples. Another, I was in Cuzco for Easter and the soldiers with machine guns were at every corner and there were snipers posted on the roofs above the crowds. In fact, all the years I went to the Minnesota State Fair, in crowds that have exceeded 200,000 people some years, I always was very aware of the totally peaceful nature of the event, the trust between people, the almost complete lack of police presence and the absence of soldiers with machine guns on the corners. Its because the American (European) dream is just a dream. We have lived in wealth for a long time while the rest of the world stood still, now all that bubble spending and living on "buy now and pay 2 years later" bullshit is getting the best of us. The middle class was created it didnt excist. This is slowly being taken away from us, so we as the rest of the world can experience fear. To make you submissive. Realise that the countries you are talking about are countries where poverty is so bad that people die of starvation or thirst. What would you do to protect your family ? Anything ?! I know i would.. Perhaps thats also the reason why so many people want what we had. They saw it in the scraps of newspaper adds and other adds on tv and they and we wanted it. So if you have nothing at all, would you stand by and do nothing ? You have no job, because there arnt none. You have no money, you cant get food or water for your family or even housing. What would you do ? I think its great that people nowadays judge so easyly, but have you ever been on the other side looking in ? We throw so much usefull food away its a waste and in the meantime 1500 miles away people are dying of starvation. The thing is we throw this food away because there is a stamp on it from a company that wasnt to get sued if they acctually had some food that spoiled. Free capitalism has destroyed this world. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26401972 Fear of the unknown, fear of death. But then again what am i saying, most of you are Americans. You are so scared that you acctually believed that 9/11 was a terrorist attack and didnt realise it was just the CIA, paving the way for the so called "Patriot Act". And now you have around what is it 500 drones if not more flying over America, and the people you should trust arnt trustworthy at all. Why even vote at all if the only people that can get elected need millions and millions in dollars just to run for president. Gotta love the fact that the plan is acctually working and that you guys turn on eachother instead of your corrupt government. Im not saying our government isnt corrupt its propably even worse then in America, but then again atleast we have a healthcare system that works. And we can choose between more than 2 clowns :) We have full circus ! :D Well thought it was kind of funny that Belgium didnt have a running government for sometime, and evrything worked out just fine. |

No it is not inevitable. Our system of capitalism depends on the people being necessarily moral to be fair and balanced. When we let morals go, that is when it all went to hell. Doesn't have to be that way. |

The world has always been fucked one way or another. There's no perfect system. None. It's just a matter of personal choice, and personally, I enjoy living here very much. And if anyone thinks he can do better, he's welcome to start a career in politics. There's usually a lot of angry people who are eager to give their votes to the guy who yells "I will clean this shit and make everything right again". |

Thank you for the psychology lesson, Chairman Mao. So, exactly what percentage of a man's life should be stolen from him to keep him from being a man (achieving and acquiring property)? 10%? 50%? 100%? Should you steal 100% of his life's effort, or just shoot him in the head as an alternative minimum tax? Maybe he should be killed in utero to make sure he doesn't grow up to be productive at all. :mao: |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 32809996 United States 08/13/2013 12:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm amazed everyday by people that tell me that someone came to the door and tried to scam them out of something, or they say "some strange man came to the door today and when I opened it he tried to put his foot in the door." What is wrong with you people? I don't open my door for shit. I don't care if your the sherif looking for dead babies. if I don't know your coming. Don't come. Quoting: LeosOfTheUniverse STOP OPENING YOUR DOORS TO EVERY TOM, DICK AND HAIRY!!!! If you do open the door, you deserve what ever happens to you as a result. Also note, you are not required to open the door to anyone. You are not required to speak to anyone. If the police come to the door, don't even speak up or open to them either, you're just asking for trouble the moment you answer, you are not required to answer or open the door for them. They only break into your home without a warrant if they know you're in there and start talking shit to them, that gives them the excuse to do it. As long as you don't speak up, they can only assume no one is home and leave. They can't break into a home with no one in it without a warrant. |
