What went wrong with America |
I have decided to join the philosophy these forums, of being totally offense and inconsiderate, on the belief that this somehow makes people better human beings. For reasons I do not fully know, the young Muslim males from mid eastern countries, whom I have meet on the Internet, have been polite and well informed people, so it can not be the age of the males here that causes them to be narcissistic and more involved with admiring themselves and finding fault in others, than with making an effort to understand the world they live in. This makes me think the problem is in our culture. I am quit sure the problem entered our culture, perhaps with the first immigrants from Europe, but I also think imitating Germany education for technology has made things worse. I can not imagine a 1930-1940 Germany NAZI being more narcissistic and less interested in knowing about the rest of life. than the young males in the US today. If you don't see yourself as an immature, poorly inform, disinterested and disinteresting, narcissistic male, please don't take this personally.

Greed, secrecy, immorality, decadence, laziness, fear, and lack of personal responsibility and general accountability. Plus people who let things get this bad in their youth complaining about the youth today not doing enough. Ya, I bet you are glad you will be dead soon so you don't have to deal with your mess. Typical of what is wrong with america today. Why wouldn't muslims love you, you are like a natural wmd, they figure that they can let you loose and drive america insane and into further corruption to the point of self.destruction with your superior arrogant denial. Not that all muslims are fanatics of course

It seems that you thought what I meant by criticising was attacking. It wasn't. It has been very interesting watching your personality change with your percieved environment. See, in the beginning you were nice, but preachy. Then when preaching didn't work, because we all question just about everything, you became frustrated and passive agressive, while simultaneously closing your ears. Then you got called on that. Then you got angry, a defense against the productive truths we were asking you to see SO we COULD talk to you, while simultaneously closing your eyes. Then you got called on that and started randomly attacking with incomprehensible insults in a pm, then calling as Nazis, or elluding to it at least. Whats wrong with America? People like you have been in control. Yaknow, liberal socialism designed as a fad front to get people to ignore real problems. Don't get me wrong, the republicans are just as bad. Like the global warming hoax and the patriot act (yes the patriot act was a bushy, but it was just another scare tactic to push legislation) See, you couldn't handle logical question for the hope of finding truth. Just like everyone else who subscribes to conventional wisdom. What makes you think you haven't been lied to your whole life? What makes you think you aren't responsible for what you've created? Oh, I know, your insane delusion you use to protect yourself with. Why didn't your generation legalize gay marriage again? Why did you ignore AIDS? People can't even fuck because of you. Were you just too insecure to care back then?

well m' lord what I think is wrong is the way britain is being run, not by its own government, but by the EU and the way a british citizen such as myself can't find a decent (or any) job despite my hardest efforts, I mean, i've gone on a number of cou.rses, and am starting another on the 26th, while still looking for work, someone my age shouldn't be doing that, it's inhealthy

the EU is unreachable and implacable for us brit's. they aren't responsible for all the problems in towns such as mine but foreign labour is cheap in england and so employers would sooner employ polish immigrants, on half the pay an english national would get and make a huge amount of money for themselves. not only that but many of the jobs are miserable places to work for someone who has had an education and so people don't want to work. something british people do have though is plans for the future and money willing, we are all going to be property owners in future, rather than relying on the local authority to provide us with homes and public services. only not everyone agrees with the policies of this (british) government and coming back to the EU, our unelected and unimpeachable european representatives seem to be living a glorious millionaire lifestyle while all the time failing to stick up for inalienable human rights of british people. though saying that, their is little i would call them on seriously, other than to question how they reach their decisions and how our lives will improve. work is the question for english people. its hard to find, no security of your contract and no welfare from the employer or state should things go wrong (ie. industrial injuries, or getting the sack). as for myself, i chose to go to college again after 6 years of bumming about and i plan to become an author and later start some production company. its a dream, but we brit's all have them.

Re- Sorry, but I don't see where this connects to America. Am I missing something?
