I am ashamed to be an American

 I am ashamed to be an american. There are hundreds of things wrong with the USA but i will focus on just two. The first being the envioronment. Global warming is no joke so if you belive that its just am myth you are either misinformed or you are an idiotic biggit. As Americans we use 20,680,000 barrles of oil every day! That means the US emits 65142000 gallons of co2 emmision per day. What does this mean? It means don't be an asshole and ride your fucking bike to work instead of taking that huge gas gussling truck in your driveway and driving it 10 miles. Also YOU DON'T EFFING NEED A 15 FOOT LONG 3 TONNE TRUCK. The american dream is over. That is the plain and simple truth. We no longer live in a land of plenty were you can use as much oil electricity and water as your obesse cholestorol clogged heart desires. If global warming continues at the rate it is at skiing will be none existant in Colorado in 30 years. If it continues Florida will be submerged, the west will turn into a huge dessert. Oh yeah! and another thing if any of you live in Nevada or California THERE IS NOT ENOUGH FUCKING WATER FOR YOU TO HAVE AN 18 HOLE GOLF COURSE AND A HUGE GREEN LAWN. Get over it. We don't have enough room for curing AIDS or cancer because we are already over populated. It sucks but as a race we cannot afford anothe billion people on this planet raping the earth for their convience. So on the subject of Global warming i challenge you to have the balls to reduce your water and electricity use. Go to a Tea Party meeting and have the balls to tell all those people who think Global Warming is Al Gore's fantasy that they are blind to the truth and that their ideas are outdated and that they need to get their heads out of their asses and stop ruining my fucking powder days.

The second reason why i am ashamed to be an American is our corrupt, money obsessed society. Politicians are so open to bribes and lobbying. It makes me sick. Also how congress cannot pass a bill for the greater good to save their lives because OF THEIR MUTHER EFFING POLITICAL PARTY. We can't even pass a bill to provide first responders to 9/11 with health care because the president is a democrat? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? I think the only solution to fix our goverment is to wipe it clean and start over, and while your at it make it a requirment for congress that you cannot be an asshole. I guess i aim too high for the government because it is human nature to be greedy bastards. But i urge you to save the environment. What we are doing to the Earth is like selling a beautiful daughter into prostitution. I urge you to post something simular to the first paragraph anywhere were it will get read. Its just bullshit that people aren't trying to stop Global Warming. Please try to help so that you can teach your kids how to ski not just tell them about when it was still possible.

\ end rant

Interesting little tidbit:
The earth's atmosphere would warm at possibly 4-6 times faster if it weren't for all the soot and particulates that get spewed into the air along with greenhouse gases. In other words, soot and ash is saving our asses right now because its blocking the sun.

freedom is the right to access to public options, social benefits. freedom is the right to practice ones religion without being persecuted for it. freedom is the right to have an opinion. freedom is the right to speak your mind. freedom is the right to travel where you want, eat what you want, do what you want when you want and be who you want. to vote, to make decisions, to pick your job, your salary, where you live.

but freedom is not oppressive, freedom is not hate. freedom does not make room for evil. freedom does not breed injustice. freedom does not exploit, rape, destroy, or conquer. freedom does not segregate.

freedom is the language of equality, and freedom does not insult or degrade. if you wish to live in a country, where no one is served but except one kind, then your country is not free.

freedom does not judge.

without branches of socialism you would never have a hospital, you would not have a butcher's shop, you would not have a community.

no political system is correct or functional, but a society needs organization. it needs rules, people need direction. people needs leaders because too many people can't think independently enough to even apply basic instict.

every one of your grandparents or parents or any ancestors, were immigrants. be it english, scottish, irish, italian, french, norwegian, ukranein, russian, polish, german, african, jamaican, israeli, persian or arab, asian or indian.

all of these people left home for freedom, the right to eat, to work, to have a house. some left to access a better schools, medicine, a fucking future.

religions are better left in their places of worship.

I have no problem with immigrants (my mom is one, my dad's parents were both immigrants that came over in a boat through Ellis Island). What I have a problem with are people here illegally trying to force me to learn their language and THEIR culture since they are unwilling to change and be like everyone else in the country they entered illegally.

Let's say, 2000 white American run across the border into Mexico. Would the Mexican gov't have a "Press 1 for Spanish, 2 for English"? Haha, bullshit.

Political Correctness is only good to a point and then it starts killing any sense of the freedom to say what you want about someone because it may hurt someone's feelings. People need to grow a fucking spine and realize the world isn't a fucking Barney playground were everyone is friends and sings the "I love you, you love me" song.



So in the end, OP, grow a fucking spine and set of balls and do something if you don't like it. Whining like a little bitch will just get people with a spine and pair of balls to think you are a fucking baby.

getting over someone telling you to make them a sammich isn't the point i'm trying to illuminate in my unfinished post unwanted to post about how situations like someone suing you for getting stabbed while robbing your house, or how large corporations can get away with people tried as individuals. or even how it's freedom of speech to be in the klu klux klan, or a nazi, or a black panther, or justify burning a coal through your daughters hand because of your religion and her disobedience for wearing making.


the world is set up by intolerance, and fights about stupidity. people argue the left and right to death, when the "greater good" has nothing to do with who you vote for would just come from everyone in fact sucking it, shutting the fuck up, and helping each other out.


society was built on supplying shit for other people and yourself, so that everyone wins, but you all just come off as arrogant ego centric zombies.

the shit you people fight for has almost literally nothing to do with being alive, you've just made uselessness apart of living. but who gives a shit anyways. not many of you.

lol wow...... its freedom of speech, restricting people from voicing their opinions no matter how racist or wrong they may be is taking away freedom. saying that you shouldnt be able to say something because it may hurt someones feelings is basically saying that the first amendment shouldnt exist. the whole idea is for people to be able to do, say and be whatever they want as long as it doesn't cause physical harm. personally, im extremely glad that groups like the KKK can exist. not saying i agree with them one bit. but id much rather have a shit ton of hate groups hurting peoples feelings than have the government arresting people for talking.

HA! No it wasn't. Society was built as a means to keep from other people killing you. People formed bands/tribes in order to stay safe. They gave up their right to freely kill others for things they need in order to work as a group to keep themselves safe from psychos that want to kill them for what they have.

Society was NOT built for supplying shit for other people. It was a built to keep yourself safe.

Survival as a group so that you don't get killed. You don't make goods and share them. All that happens in those old tribes is they work together to defend themselves. You take care of your own food, your own warmth, and your own water. All that is communal is protection.

o please. when you come down, you know, back to reality. let me know.

freedom is social benefits my ass. yeah freedom of social benefits is awesome for the person reaping the benefits, well what about the poor (actually hes prob wealthy) slouch stuck picking up all the slack? (EG the people who pay for them with no choice in the matter)

eat what you want, sure. ill give you that, with the stipulation that youre paying for it.

and i think youre barking up the wrong tree with the rest of it, provided that you recognize that you dont have a right to a job, rather you have a right to trade your skills with others. but you dont have a right to a comfy job etc etc etc

and what happened when nomads became sedentary? farming, domesticating animals, bartering was born.

sure we can work individually, but like most species, we've realized that working as a heard works on multiple levels(evolution?). stop arguing for the sake of arguing and just look at what's right in your face.

The only thing a human being that survives child birth really has a right to is the chance to make a life, and even that isn't always guaranteed.

Most species live in herds? So you mean leopards, panthers, cougars, bears, cheetahs, sharks, swordfish, birds of prey (IE Bald Eagles, Hawks, Owls, Falcons), sloths, red pandas, and many other animals are all retarded?

And what you were preaching earlier is not what you are saying in this post. You were saying earlier that socialistic ideas are the way to go. Meaning everyone works, throws everything in the pot, and everyone gets a slice of the pie. Even in animal groups everyone has to work for what they get outside of the children. Elephants don't sit there and wait to be fed by some big complex that will give them their food. Wolves work together to bring down the big game together otherwise they are off getting mice and shit for themselves.


When you can figure out what it is you are trying to argue for come back and look at what is right in your face.

Accidentally posted before finished. It is when a non-white is harmed by one of these groups that it becomes a hate crime and that is illegal. Telling someone you don't like them is perfectly legal.

I saw this picture the other day and it made me stop and think about all the material things i want and how bad i actually need them. Lately i've been really wanting a new truck. But how can i justify my need for a big 8 cylinder truck when there are people who don't have clean drinking water.
