We have no money.
We can't win our stupid wars.
And the stupid folk breed faster than the intelligent folken.
What the fuck gives? We're becoming a nation of broke turds.
Almost makes me sad to have fought for it.

Yeah, well I served as well and i dislike the way things are panning out too. We were victims of a coup, plain and simple. People took over our government and toyed with it as they chose. It's not that we as a whole cannot handle our shit, it's just that a few of the elite can't handle their shit (or they have a design in motion, but im not big on that stuff, i believe we elect the worst people we can find) and it looks as though the whole nation are morons.
It makes me rather upset myself.
And 5 shrooms for laying it out on the table man.

I don't really think they're stupid or evil for that matter...
The problem is that they focus to much on publicity and how the public sees them
We don't elect the person who is most qualified for the job,we elect the person who can convince us they are the most qualified and most of them really arn't.The elected must represent the masses of the population.

We've bred a society of lazy fat assholes who glorify the celebrity ideals and lifestyles. Being an ignorant lackwit is something that is no longer frowned upon.

I wish i only had answers instead of my assumptions I meant it when i said this upset's me, it's truly a very saddening situation. Those who came before us worked too damn hard for things to turn out this way.
I digress; This sure as hell isn't over yet. Time will tell. The world as our witness.

I don't think it's western civilization that ruins other places...i mean we do it...but if any other civilization would be in our place i doubt they will do anything diffrent.The thing is that you have to walk over bodies to get to the top,so anyone who is there is basicly an asshole...

How about the ridiculous behavior of shooting down perfectly sensible bills for those of lesser sense and greater financial gain (for one's partners no less)?
But then again how easy is it for us back seat driver's to call the shots on things we do not fully understand, much like those whom we criticize?

i have about as much understanding as a civilian can have with the lack of transparency. As hippie-esque as this sounds, egos have more pull than any amount of voting that could be done.

there are no sensible bills, there's only redundancy, passing the same bullshit over and over again with new wording, it's illegal to smuggle drugs into the country, congress passed one of joe biden's bill to make it illegal to smuggle drugs into the country in a submarine, was it really necessary to specify the mode of transport in a new bill or is it like so many other bills where the main 'concern' of the bill is irrelevant, the goal is to use it at a means for passing other laws (riders)
do we really need bills that are 1500+ pages long being sent through congress?

Of course everything stated here is a matter of opinion and open to debate. There have been good/moral bills, we don't know of them because they weren't politically popular enough to pass, or the right people were cajoled or bribed into shooting it/them down.
The system is broken, final answer.
