@[rott3n:1653] I realize this is a really old post and im way too late, but I made an account just say this. American here, Don't worry, The majority of the new generation (those born 1960-now) of American's are not too fond of our Government either. The Baby Boomers and some of their blind offspring have been spoon fed the idea that there is really freedom here and everywhere else just sucks. Don't get me wrong, Capitalism is a great idea. Having one profit from their own hard work and innovation makes sense to me. However, that's if Human's were perfect. This is unfortunately how any economic and political ideal goes. When it comes to human beings, if their is a way to exploit it, they will find it. Doesn't matter the country or people, there will always be someone. America was/is really the first country to embrace the idea that anyone can live there/here. Now this is a worldly ideal, but America got the head start. Countries fear they are losing their culture due to the spread of American culture. In America, the feeling is the same, we feel we are losing our culture to ourselves. These are the things that they do not talk about in the news, neither world wide or even locally here in America, but are all common knowledge there/here. Just as the Romans had the Colosseum to entertain their people to distract them about the things that are terrible, we have American idol, Facebook, McDonalds, Coca-Cola and the Wonderbra. sad really, but again.. this is human nature. we are self-destructive. oh and as for the troops (army, navy, etc.) most of them know all of this truth too, but they are in a different situation.. I am reminded of another song when it comes to this, it would be System of a Down's "B.Y.O.B" Hate it, love it, it's the truth. |
