Had to happen bro, otherwise we'd all be doomed by now.. Even the worst criminals in prison have rules that they have to go by otherwise they'd crack down on them full force and they'd have full fledge war on their hands, too many people would die. Even a government, that is the embodiment of all that is evil, knows it must keep a balance..

It's not at all that liberal in the states. 5 -8 years for manufacturing drugs in Ohio. Plus other charges as specified. It can be a culture on agar or a tiny cactus seedling. A bit less for cannabis but still very heavy punishment. Nobodies realized reality enough to state anything so pure that it's correct. We're all muddled. Corrupted from too much exposure too soon and so much more to learn.
There are some genetic components to human behavior. Cannot be eliminated due to the associated strengths being more useful. It's going to take awareness, some kind words as well as evolving. That requires birthing, leave the dying to the spiritual.

It's gotten shittier because the super wealthy control Government again. Things have gotten shittier ever since Reagan handed the Government over to the elite.

That was back when U.S. manufacturing was king because all the other countries were recovering from WWII. Unfortunately, manufacturing things in first world countries isn't very profitable anymore so more and more working people are being left without the jobs they were depending on. While I'm pretty conservative, I think we can modify a lot of ideas from the liberal left. Offering free tuition at public universities for STEM degrees would help working class people transition into the service economy. Not giving out so many H1B visas would help as well.

ChemicalSpark said: I agree with you as well. But in order for us to properly implement "free tuition" and the like, our government would have to not be corrupt. Our tax dollars don't get spent on what they should now, why give them even more money to misuse.
Very true, we need public spending reforms focused on accountability before anything changes for the better.

I think the reason these issues are more prevalent now is because of social media. A large plurality of it's users are young liberal millennials who care more about social issues than other ones. Thus, their voice is being amplified to a greater degree than it would have in the past. I'm not sure what could be done about it though.

All those groups/concepts are trying to get laws passed that will cater to them, while making it harder for the caucasian. Which whether they like or not happens to be the majority of the United States and middle class. It's detrimental to our economy...
There's certain groups of people that want to destroy the "old American" culture, this is why Trump will probably be the next President, the people are sick of this destructive trend in the US.

Immigrants haven't come anywhere near the level of destruction as billionaires have. Billionaires are the ones taking the middle class down.

Who's talking about immigrants? The Billionaires are the ones that allowed tens of millions of illegals to flood into the US, who did it benefit? The top .10%.

What is "old American" culture? I'm asking from a place of genuine interest and to point out how hard it is to define. Someone more revolutionary than I might say "old American" culture is: slavery, segregation, dueling, violence, genocide, colonialism, restricted enterprise, corporatism, fascism, hatred, lynchings, racism, nativism, paranoia, xenophobia. Myself, I'd say there have been a small section of the populace that always opposed these things, had the freedom to speak, and has helped diminish them, and *that* is part of what makes America great.

I'm totally fine with legal immigration. I've got some mixed feelings about accepting refugees though.
When it comes to billionaires bringing us down, we need someone to point these bastards out lol...
I didn't say anything about bringing more immigrants in. Just saying we need to stop blaming our problems on dark skinned folk.

Things have declined in certain ways, but they were never that copacetic to begin with. One has to realize that the "good old days" is a myth that gets used in every time period. There were never any golden ages, really.

Sure, you want to bring up all the negative aspects of things that were common place hundreds of years ago all over the world, that's called being disingenuous.
The "old America" is Northern Europeans creating one of the greatest nations in human civilization, it's about making a Constitution that still works today, it's about creating a separation between religion and state, it's about creating a democracy.
This nation was created by white Christians from Northern Europe, this is a fact and that's the reason why this nation was great, you might not like that fact, but it's true.
What happens when you try to dilute that existing culture with other people with completely different values? You start going down hill. There's a reason why the US won WW2 and become the worlds superpower, think about it.
