Do you feel sorry for Americans?
 

The sheep/cattle/lemmings or whatever other animal kingdom metaphor of the day you like say America is falling and George Bush is Hitler. Another round of Nazi regimes, Stalin regimes, World Wars, and a great Depression is coming and coming fast. The four horsemen are riding again.

My mass hysteria meter is going off the charts. The only other times in my life it reached this level was during the dot com boom, the Rubik's cube craze of 1979, and the 1975 pet rocks ruckus.

News flash! You guys sound like the National Enquirer. Neo-Nazi's, fascism, the great coming depression, and the end times. Your words exactly echo none other than the covers of the weekly tabloids we Americans have seen in Publix, Winn Dixie, Wegmans, and Piggly Wiggly for the past 20 years. Congratulations on your wisdom.

Well this is the pied piper telling you brainwashed huddles masses that I've lifted my lamp beside the golden door. Enter ye the Kingdom of all that is Good. Liberate yourself!

Riiiight?

Yes...I have been convinced that I am a stupid/sheep that has been brainwashed...by that evil incarnate Bush...and I now feel the opression...suffer from my loss of freedom...and am hoarding dried and canned foods in fear of the economic collaspe that is going to take place next month.

Format C:

dude, please..where do you get your info :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

sounds worse than the hell fire and damnation preachers.

We're stupid, our leaders are stupid, our lives are miserable, and we're so simple, we won't even move to a different country.:sadcrying

You know what I love about Americans?

The way they take criticism, the wat it just rolls off their backs. The way they sit and think "Does the guy have a point or not?"

The confidence you show.

Of course don't get a lot that from SOME people here, but what the heck.

If you think you're the best act like it.

12Clicks, look real close.

Closer.

CLOSER.

Damn, your slow, the tear dried up :(


:Graucho

Not everyone copy's and paste's their responses ;-)

Next Stop: Saudi Arabia. Where men are men and sheep are scared!!!!

LMFAO :1orglaugh :thumbsup

You are not the only one you've convinced of that.

No you have it wrong, he's a comic genius.

We're only stupid for not standing up to our stupid leaders and believing the sugar coated lies.

Our leaders ARE stupid and make stupid laws that only help themselves.

Our lives are not that bad... yet... but they are getting there if these stupid leaders are allowed to remain in office

Wake up America.... think for your self and question what your leaders tell you. To NOT take what they say as truth because they are only half thruths, double talk or what ever you want to call it.

I have only one word for my fellow Americans.......

REVOLUTION

:2 cents:

Distrust of government is not in any way new. This is certainly not the first generation to distrust government. What do you think the entire world-wide move towards democracy has been about? Reducing authority, reducing control, reducing power vested in single individuals. What was the French third estate bitching about in 1789, why did a House of Commons appear to balance the House of Lords in Britain, why did Locke and Paine argue and influence governments to diffuse power through systems of checks and balances?

The US is a common-law system modeled and adapted from the British one. It's not like our "leaders" just sit around and make up laws. The US system of laws is a combination of congressional legislation with executive agreement, interpretation and revision through common law and judicial review ending finally in the Supreme Court if the situation should warrant.

Business as usual ...

We are a opressed people we don't even have roads paved in gold. I want gold houses.

A revolution? They usually don't end so well. What do you propose as a new form of government?

crack kills

Seems out first revolution turned out ok...

I propose a "true" democracy... not this one sided shit that we have not.

Again... just my
:2 cents:

Kenny,

You didn't buy the Franklin Mint 24k Collector's Edition Monopoly Set? I thought every American had one.

You'd prefer an According-to-Hoyle Democracy than a Republic then? Everyone votes on laws and the majority wins instead of electing representatives?

What would you keep of the congress, the president, and the court system? How would executive action be taken? Would you still have an office of the president?

There are many reasons to feel sorry...

But you failed to articulate them...

So I feel more sorry for YOU :(

not sure if its the right forum to start with this shit again but...


oh well...:(

Hmmmm, all these questions... are you looking to get this started? :Graucho :1orglaugh

Either way it is still idiots electing idiots.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

That's why I always vote for myself as a write-in I cannot be any worse that the idiot's that actually get elected.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Doesn't seem to be much of an option.You'll probably like this one, Labret. How about an intellectual poll test? You take a test and the higher you score the more votes you get. ;-)

It was a rhetorical question. You don't have those where you live?

Labret,

Nice sig.

I can hear the cries of racism already.

The black, mexican, female, and conservative vote would disappear. Our next president would be Asian or a Trekkie.

I can deal with that.

Sure. What do you have in mind?

Still working on ...... :)

Dude you don't even know how to question a simple HBO documentary don't tell us how to think.

here's some rope, now lets see if you hang yourself:

true democracy is a bad form of government.

:321GFY :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I'd be afraid to tackle that too. you'd expose yourself as a shouter of slogans, not a thinker of thoughts.:thumbsup

well, this oppressed fool is off for a round of golf.

fucking government.

No, not afraid to tackle it... just thought it was funny... still do.

What you you suggest if not a true democracy?
