7 Systemic Problems that are Killing America

[kelvin070]

At least there are some people outside this forum who honestly acknowledge the real shortcomings.

This country is full of idiots, socialists, and rednecks. At least that’s what partisans will have you believe.
As long as you’re railing against the people you hate, you can’t see the reality behind the rhetoric. These problems go beyond Liberal or Conservative, Republican or Democrat. They’re serious enough to contribute to internal collapse. We dug up 7 systemic problems that have nothing to do with political parties, yet are still killing America.

An interesting read Kelvin. One of the comments on the page caught my eye:

1) Greed…gambling is illegal except when it comes to setting the price and essentially controlling the lives of every person on this planet.

2) Religion…my god is better than your god? O ya! well now I’ll prove it by killing you…patheticly gullable species we’ve become.

3) Collusion. Have fun trying to invent something or starting up your own business today. The American Dream has been sold off to the lowest bidder

4) Corporatations. Human begins are more than simply enterting data into a machine. what’s different than sweat shops? Just because someone is smiling while sucking out your soul doesn’t mean they are not sucking away your soul.

5) EDUCATION. Our kids are dumb. plain and simple. have you been inside a public school? It’s a cesspool of lost children with zero drive. our future ladies and gentlemen

6) Vanity. As a people we are as deep as a pudddle. I do not care that a plane crashed, show me what jon and kate are up too

7) Money. Speaks for itself and will divide people. GET THE MONEY OUT OF WASHINGTON. Politicians SHOULD NOT be rich.

Innert Racism. It’s not about being black or white or any of that it’s about how much PROFIT can you deliver me on a quarterly basis. the new white is green.

9) OLD PEOPLE IN CHARGE. sounds childish but by the time a politician becomes a senator his way of doing things is obsolete and completely out of touch with what the country needs today.

10) lies. cigarettes and alcohol is legal but not marijuana. makes sense..hey let’s ban milk, actually..maybe we should.

11) Capitalism. Like religion, it’s not the actual idea. it’s a good idea but it’s been abused. free market. that’s like giving your wife the credit card (sorry ladies, couldn’t think of anything cooler

I think most of these can be applied the world over, not just the US.

They are not interested in all that. They would just be happy if some reporter ranked them #1 for freedom.

Show's how much you know! I agree with this statement.

This country has a ton of problems just like every other country out there.

I'm pretty sure a lot of those problems are representative of many Industrialized nations, not just the United States. Although it's probably true that problems 3-7 don't exist in Singapore, because hey, you're already living in a highly repressive police state.

If it had a sticker saying chew gum and we'll throw you in jail, it would be much better

Are you kidding? Most of the people in this forum who are from the U.S. are more than happy to acknowledge this countries short comings. And then we have you who instigates such discussions but will say nothing adverse about your home country. Unfortunately, you are lacking the philosophical integrity to participate in such a discussion.

Kelvin, maybe I'm being a bit hard on you, but why don't you think before you type? Focus on the subject matter, lets have an intelligent discussion, and refrain from throwing bombs just to get a response.
