Vote: Biggest threat to the US
- Thread starter tlwwake
- Start date
I'd have a very hard time being convinced it is anything but corruption.
The other threats become less real as soon as politicians put their career paths on the back burner and put the protection of individual US citizens on the front burner.
Conservative voters. Their last guy got us in a stupid war and then a crippling recession (hard to do both - who else did that?). Two before him resigned under a cloud of impeachment. This one will....... ?
Degradation of societal values. The number of people in our country that actually raise their kids, pay their taxes, and contribute to charity is disturbingly small.
Each successive generation has a higher % of people making fun-babies with one or no parents, playing absurd amounts of video games, and indulging in copious mild-altering substances to the detriment of their productivity. Their idea of a good day outside is running by their dealer on the way to a march bitching about how much less money lazy stupid people make versus smart, committed people.
Internal rot, in other words.
It's a tie between sour gummie skittles and Starbucks unicorn frappacinos.
you forgot man buns and embroidered jeans
These are represented by two different millenial demographics. The country vs. the urban hipster.
The biggest threat to the US is that there are more voters who think that it is okay to vote people in office who'll take money from those who have earned and give it to those that haven't.
Yes, so many of those wealthy individuals who inherited their money worked so hard to earn it . . . while all those middle and lower income Americans are just lazy people who do no work.
lol, talk about dancing to the rich man's tune...

Reverse evolution, see idiocracy. I know in the movie it takes 500 years, but I think it's going to be closer to 30. The fact that progressives are trying speed things along makes no sense.

Most of us aspire to be rich and if you don't you have two choices. Live your life the way you want without money as a priority or act jealous and petty by trying to get what is not yours. Don't be a loser. If you want money, buckle down and get it through the many on ramps to the financial security freeway.
Give me a reason someone can't stop being poor. If you have kids when you can't afford them, sorry you are dumb. If you drop out of high school, sorry that was a stupid decision.
Not everyone has the same chance or built in advantages that others do. Simply saying that someone who wants to get rich should "buckle down and get it" completely ignores the reality that millions face.
Of course they don't have the same chance, we aren't robots or in kindergarten. I'll listen to your thing now and see.
38 seconds in three kids three different fathers. Don't do stuff like that if you want to have money. Next.
47 seconds in a fish tank and a kitten. That amount of startup and food bill could go into savings or an education program.

I feel like there should be some reward for winning this thread.
Why did you skip over some time in between these points? Such as 1:37-2:00?
Or 2:50-3:09?
Ignoring those parts isn't winning. It is simply ignoring that which doesn't fit your ignorant and heartless view of people who are trapped in a poverty cycle.
Well... I El Oh El'd at every one of your okay - by - plays.
Consequently you racked up about 10 likes in this thread alone.
I'd give the cigarette and accidental pregnancy posts 10 likes each if it were possible.
I heard them. That sucks. I can't imagine how hard that is. But I have a cousin that was commenting on one of our other cousins who was in jail at forty and blaming it on the way his mom raised him. It's a race and the race has hurdles. at some point you jump the hurdle. You don't lay down and have unprotected sex with the deadbeat in the next lane over.
