I guess the American dream still exists. It is just a little harder to obtain now days. Takes a little more work, you can't just sit on the couch in your boxers watching MTV, getting loaded while eating chili out of a can with your fingers.
Things are more competitive, it's like a race. Some come in first and some last; some in the middle. Life is not fair and was never intended to be. Fair is what comes to the fairgrounds each summer. If life was fair, I would be living large like Hugh Hefner. All I need are my guns, scotch and porn. I made it this far without a government handout or charity from some rich corperation. It's just a fucking rat race. Deal with it. |

We have Saville Row suited bankers here pulling bonus payments of £millions each per annum, with one chap just getting a £million in shares as bonus for a bank that the working people of the UK bailed out in the last two years and by rights at least 40% is owned by 'we the people' and yet we the people watch as these blood suckers pull this kind of money by gambling with all our futures. Yep, its a bloody rat race in the UK too, but here there are bucket loads of people that never started the race and are happy to sit on the side lines and draw state benefits just like their pappy and grandpappy did....and maybe nick a bit of signalling cable from Railtrack so they can upgrade their mutt to the latest in self propelled penis extention local war machines ...Do ya think the USA or Ozz or Newzealand would take a broken old cynic like me....I can work 50 hours a week if needed? |

An important skill in a discussion is the ability to hear what others say. I feel there is a potent irony in people criticising America as fascist and a police state and being themselves intolerant of opposed views and unwilling to stomach contradiction. Quote:

Speaking as an American, like all nations, the USA is neither as good as its manic boosters believe nor as bad as its harsh critics believe. US Americans as a whole do seem to believe in their right to be addressed in English and given special consideration anywhere in the world.
