Lately, while I quietly sit at my desk slaving away for the man, the title of this thread keeps running through my head.
America is such a dissapointment in the end. Through out school and highschool you learn how great this country is, but few people beleive this. And those that do usually haven't thought it through very well.
Just thought I would share my thoughts with all you random people I hardly know and have never met in real life. Mainly because I like you shroomery people!
Have a great day folks! Im off to eat some In-N-Out and smoke some medicianl herbs.

The other night, I watched a film called "Invisible Children." It's about the child soldiers in Uganda, and how children sleep in bus stations and under hospitals and whatnot hiding from people who will either kidnap them or kill them. Those that don't get captured or killed often die of hunger, due to how the war is preventing the economy from working. These kids live with the knowledge that they could be killed any day. I went home from that film and felt so great to be going to sleep that night on a comfortable mattress, with a roof over my head and food in my stomach, and without people to kill me. You have no fucking clue how lucky you are to be living in "western civilization."

This is an argument that is often brought up.
People die, death is a part of life. Humanity is a plague upon the earth and it wouldn't be a bad idea to cut some of the infection out. There will always be stupid people in the world that rape and kill children. The life you have chose and the safety and comfort it brings you is really just an illusion, someone could break into your home at night when you are most vulnerable and rape or kill you! You just choose not to think about it every day like you say those poor children do.
I just think that we are no better off with all these modern day comforts than if we were to go back a few thousand years before large cities were around. Humanities' problems stem from humanity itself. People kill people.
