Farewell America

[jw33]

You'll be back.

[Chili]

Some of y'all really think there's a chance at beating a nation full of people seeking a handout? What action do you suppose will work? The next 4 years will only strengthen the group he's talking about.

I respect it. More power to you man...

So maybe now is not the time.. Maybe no action needs to be taken. Maybe he should work his ass off to make sure he has the means available to do something once the implied implosion does occur? When / if this country does collapse, it is going to need strong people to help rebuild it.

i'm not trying to be a troll here but what can one person do that doesn't like the direction this country is going, i'd really like to hear you opinion on this.

Become more involved in politics. Go to town meetings, learn what it takes to get on the city council and move up from there. I hate the attitude of "Just one man", if our grand fathers had that same thought we'd all be speaking German.

Truth.

We are no longer the greatest country in the world. We're seventh in literacy, twenty-seventh in math, twenty-second in science, forty-ninth in life expectancy, 178th in infant mortality, third in median household income, number four in labor force, and number four in exports. We lead the world in only three categories: number of incarcerated citizens per capita, number of adults who believe angels are real, and defense spending, where we spend more than the next twenty-six countries combined, twenty-five of whom are allies. Just a generation ago Americans took pride in their ethics and stood up for what was right. We fought for moral reasons, we passed and struck down laws for moral reasons. We sacrificed, we put our money where our mouths were, we built great big things, made ungodly technological advances, explored the universe, cured diseases, and cultivated the world's greatest artists and the world's greatest economy. We reached for the stars, and we acted like men. We aspired to intelligence; we didn't belittle it; it didn't make us feel inferior. We didn't identify ourselves by who we voted for in the last election, and we didn't scare so easy. And we were able to be all these things and do all these things because we were led often by great men, men who were revered. The first step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one—America is not the greatest country in the world anymore.

Sounds familiar.

I respect your patriotism, but I also can see the other side.

If the dollar falls apart tomorrow, we as a nation, will have nothing, and no way to get it. half the world will fall with it.

Chili, surely you are not naive enough to really believe that one or a million people getting involved will do anything to right all the wrongs that are going on. Cold hard truth is that nothing can fix this, it has already gone too far to fix. If you are staying here you better buckle up and buy that case of anal lube that is on sale at costco.

Hell if I was in his same boat I cant say I would not do the same thing. Everyone already hates us and I bet Australia barely has any mondays which is a major plus in my book.

Life is too short for a single man to wait for his country to fail when he can go elsewhere and be happy. There is nothing to do...the change will only build strength in the wrong direction.

You'll be back.

God I hope so

Sounds familiar.

Yep, I love that speech from newsroom and it was the basis for my rant. I feel what is said in that video is something everyone should see.

[DON SVO]

Thanks Don. Link to said noodz?

I viewed them on the old old board but don't know where they'd be nowadays.

Ok, so then burn this bitch down and start over. Still preferable to bailing out.

Call me when its on fire and I will be right back.

How in earth do you assume that's better?

[Shaggin Wagon]

You'll be back.

I think the same....new land, new rules no firends, no network..being and outsider. I dont thinks its as easy as someone may think to go to a new way of life.
