Theres nothing to be proud about if you're american. Neg me all you want but this society is lost. Fine Arts and culture have gone down the drain, if someone tries to get an art degree they're told that you are wasting time, and you'll never make enough MONEY in this world. Academics here are the lowest on the whole planet. The only chance u have getting into Harvard is if your daddy is rich. Were bred to be middle class, to consume everything we can from stores. Were teetering on an economic collapse as well. What greatness do we hold? Eveything we make is made in other countries, every innovation is blocked by lobbyists. You might say we have a great military. Thats not something to be proud of. A military that we spend billions to fight wars that never end, with soldiers that kill civilians. Their excuse is "they're protecting our freedom" when all i see is protestors getting beaten and pepper sprayed for expressing their rights, u can't protect freedom when you don't have it

Totally Agree Sherm, i try to put this point across maybe not in such nice words but because iīm not American i get blasted for it and they get all defensive... But what they donīt realize is YES i am an outsider but i can see the clearer picture....
My take is this doesn't have to do with America. America led us, led world civilization for decades. Being in front it will take the plunge first. Then will come the others. It is really the end of an Era and it is only up to us as a whole to wake up and create something new and better.
You just enjoy it way too much ol' great wise one. A lot of European countries aren't in any better shape and I'm not going to point any fingers. Maybe the good Doctor will save us. He wants to bring all the troops home and end the fed.

Dude i am not saying that europe is any better, look at Italy,Greece and soon Spain.. I have no beef with you jeptha its all banter ;)
I can't help to think that its americas fault though for making the rest of the world like that though. Shoving McDonalds and Hollywood in the face of other cultures.
The God Bless at the end makes it all irrelevant. Until God will be taken away from our decision making process everything is in vain. Until In God We Trust will be taken away from the dollar bill all is in vain.
The problem is all the morons taking God out of things like schools. Not that someone should be forced to accept God if they don't believe, but now a days people don't even know what God or the Bible is all about. Love and respect your fellow man(and woman)people forget that shit too easily. That's why US is so fucked. I am surprised In God We Trust is even on the dollar still. Pretty soon they're gonna take God out of church then we'll really be fucked.
In addition to plain text you can also add links to: - images - video pages - anything else Simply add a link just like this: http://i.imgur.com/fhfnG.gif and we will do the rest. We will transform all links into clickable links and if the link points to an image or a youtube video page we will open that image / video in a clean pop.
