There are so many reasons that frankly, it's hard to pick a place to start:


First of all.....when 28% of you brain dead fucking morons give a blithering IDIOT like Sarah Palin positive approval ratings and think she ought to run for president in 2012, it really makes me sick to know I am lumbered with that many mouth-breathing Cro-Magnons I unfortunately have to consider as my fellow countrymen....trust me.....I don't. You motherfuckers are beyond help.


And before you go thinking this is a "liberal" based rant.....that brings me to one more item on an ever-lengthening list.


This "Liberal" versus "Conservative" paradigm that so many of you simple dunces buy into.....as BOTH parties sell you out to the multinational corporations, banks and special interests that actually run Washington D.C.).....you do this STUPID dance every day, blithely detatched from the reality that YOU YOURSELF are helping to DIVIDE AND CONQUER the nation, as you myopically beat your little Hannity/Olberman drum of FUTILE self -righteous indignation. PATHETIC.


THIS is a nation of PUSSIES AND FUCKING COWARDS. If this nation had any BALLS WHATSOEVER, there would be a trail of DEAD MEN SWINGING FROM THE ENDS OF ROPES leading from AIG, thru WALL STREET, the not-so "Federal" reserve, the 9/11 commission, and right through every other set-up con-job you people just buy into like a bunch of CATTLE BEING LED TO SLAUGHTER.


It's not that Americans don't give a fuck.....every misled, misdirected group that goes out and crusades for the "Grand Cause" they think is responsible for the decimation of this ONCE great nation proves that.....the problem IS that the problem ISN'T illegal aliens (i.e. Minutemen) or Democrats in Washington (i.e. Teabaggers) or conservative policies (i.e. Code Pink).......the problem is ...... AMERICANS THEMSELVES.


AMERICANS have sat on THEIR ASSES while Washington and the Pentagon have BANKRUPTED THE TREASURY and sent our sons and daughters into MEAT GRINDERS in Iraq and Afghanistan for WMD's and connections to 9/11 that did NOT EXIST and even AFTER the overwhelming evidence that the intel was "swept all up" (doctored, falsified, unreliable) you STUPID SHEEP keep buying into the BRAIN DEAD notion that somehow, these wars are for the FREEDOM of America.


You're an IDIOT. They're wars for EMPIRE.


Your son's and daughter's BLOOD is being used as OIL to grease an evil, out of control WAR MACHINE....Your money and financial security is being DEVOURED by Wall St. and the Federal Reserve, with collusion from YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES, and your standard of living is slowly eroding into a two-class system as the middle class is being FORCED INTO EXTINCTION......


......and you do NOTHING to stop ANY of it.


You ignorant FOOLS who send shotgun Emails to all your friends warning of "death panels" and other such HEALTH INSURANCE INDUSTRY PROPAGANDA, yes, you friggin' GOMERS actually think the Health Insurance Industry has your best interests in mind, and it's "dat mean ol' gubmint" that wants to penalize you by providing your family health care that isn't profit-based.


MEDICARE only got passed because it effectively REMOVED the highest-risk group to the insurance providers (the elderly) from the 'pool' of prospective insurees, thereby minimizing their financial exposure. It's completely lost on most people that catastrophic illness is the main reason for personal bankruptcy....and that 75% of those who had to file HAD health insurance.


And this is the 'status quo' many of you are defending. You are BEYOND dense.


America has lost it's HONOR, as well as it's collective senses. I don't wish upon America any malice or catastrophe.....trust me, this is happening with assistance and collusion from the top down, not from some Arab in a cave. I just want to leave peacefully and live in a place that doesn't have leaders that hope for a "catastrophic and catalyzing event" to promote a war agenda that takes pride in kicking the shit out of unarmed peasants living in the dirt....then blames them for retaliating. Can't wait to see this dysfunctional madhouse in my rear view mirror.


When you abide by a system of government that you FULLY EXPECT will side AGAINST YOU and WITH corporate lobbyists (MANY of whom represent interests that are not even from the USA) who BRIBE THEM WITH BALES OF CASH....and are working 24/7 to maximize their profits and minimize their potential competition in the marketplace.....all at the expense of you and your family....and don't lift a FINGER to do ANYTHING TO CHANGE IT......you fucking DESERVE WHAT'S COMING. What might that be.....?


Think Germany and the treaty of Versailles.....when a wheelbarrow full of Deutschmarks is what it took to buy a MEAL.


WHEN the dollar collapses.....not IF, WHEN.....THAT'S when you'll really begin to see the true definition of FASCISM. The unity of government and corporations to economically and militarily control it's people. History WILL repeat itself....but if you're like so many of the morons in the USA who think they're so smart but don't know SHIT.....it will all be NEW TO YOU. Good luck.....you'll need it.


This is the most ARROGANT nation in EXISTANCE, second only to ISRAEL....and since ALL of our politicians are falling over backwards to kiss Israel's ASS on a daily basis, fully knowing that exposing any inconvenient TRUTH about them equals political SUICIDE....that and the mass media in America that feeds it's daily ration of BULLSHIT is controlled by individuals biased towards them as well....ANYONE who thinks they know what is going on because they read TIME magazine and watch CNN, FOX news OR MSNBC.....you are DELUSIONAL.


One nation under God....? What a JOKE.


MONEY is God here pal....even people who are reading this who hate the words I typed KNOW this is true. What does it say in your bible about the love of money? The root of all evil, no?


How DARE this nation question human rights abuses of other nations after Abu Ghraib and countless other bombing and torture campaigns, where it was stated it is passable to crush the testicles of young boys in front of their fathers to extract information.


How DARE this nation deign to be the world's nuclear police when WE are the only nation to ever USE NUKES.


MOST of you actually consider Palestinians as TERRORISTS, when it is THEY who have been occupied, imprisoned behind 25 foot high concrete walls and denied basic human decency by APARTHEID ISRAEL. Those of you who get your info from American media REMAIN IGNORANT OF THE TRUTH.


You're probably wondering if I'm some Arab, or other person hostile to "America's Freedoms" lol.... Yeah, you're really free here.......


Free to go BANKRUPT if you get sick, even if you HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE.


Free to vote on DIEBOLD voting machines that can flip elections and leave no paper trail.


Free to watch your life savings DWINDLE AND EVAPORATE into the pockets of the ROBBER BARONS you PATRONIZE.


Free to watch your JOB get shipped to CHINA....and then you fucking FOOLS buy the goods PRODUCED FORM THOSE JOBS at Wal Mart, further REWARDING AND ENCOURAGING businesses to CONTINUE this pattern. I have never bought a fucking THING from Wal-Mart, and if you have.....you are a simple, stupid FUCKSTICK.


You're free to be video monitored, photographed by the millisecond at traffic light traps, electronically surveiled, searched with no warrant, shaken down and partially disrobed at airports, free to be told how much shampoo you are allowed to carry in your luggage, free to buy processed foods that give you cancer, genetically altered vegetables that contain neat things like INSECT DNA, free to pay more than ANY OTHER COUNTRY ON THE PLANET for pharmeceuticals, free to be the pharmaceutical company's guinea pig for drugs that have potentially catastrophic side effects, free to have PUBLIC POLICY DICTATED TO YOU by government 'officials' that have dual citizenship with ISRAEL, free to have ANY MEANINGFUL TRUTH WITHHELD FROM YOU by the mass media......


.....and free to be one of the ONE OUT OF EVERY HUNDRED AMERICANS living in PRISON.


Land of the free, home of the brave??


More like land of the SHEEP and home of the SLAVE.


it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

Use of caps reminds me of Fy.

Fucking good rant though and dead on.

That last sentence particularly.

Mike and I took an oath, we swore to give our lives in defense of this country, our constitution and our American way of life.

Man, am I fucking glad we don't have that hanging over us anymore... Talk about the sword of Damocles...

I actually read a bit of it and frankly I find it hard to believe America pays more than britain for anything... Other than American flags.

They don't really, barring healthcare

We don't at all. We pay one-third for petrol, our food is much less expensive because we either grow it ourselves or buy it from starving third world countries and the excessive cost of our health care is to cover the cost of malpractice insurance. Because we don't have tort reform like you do. Because the fucking lawyers and insurance companies and banks run everything here and they set the prices, not the demand. Cars, real estate, everything is cheaper.

That dude is a moron.

Part of the reason is the value of the British pound is held artificially high against other currencies. I mean, seriously, you convert your dollars into pounds, lose a fuck load of value on the exchange, then pay exactly the same amount in absolute terms for an item.

Empire was over 70 years ago, you can let go now.

They found oil just of the fawklands... nobody will letting go for a while to come.

Hmm, I'd say Britain is shit and America is shit. But in different ways.

America seems to be like one giant corporate entity that will one day be called the United States of McDonalds. Under martial law, run by a bible basher who's George Bush's son.

Britain will be half feudalist toilet, half Sharia state. Run mainly from Brussels, staffed mainly by Poles. With subservient fags curtseying to Princess William all day.

Canada, Australia and some of Scandinavia / much of Europe seem to be infinitely better run.. I think.

A lot of the polish people have gone back apparently.

I blame Ayn Rand

I blame Ray Kroc.

I blame Willy Wonka.

Still blaming Johnny Depp because you didn't get laid in high school?

No, but are you still blaming Gene Wilder for same?

Humphrey Bogart.

The original CL poster is correct. America is stupid shit and getting stupider. That's the life. Better accept it now and start living a post-social life. Groening was right. Hell is other people. The dream is that you can skate by on the broken policies of the ruling class and die before shit hits the fan. That's my dream anyway.

Hey Tom, good to see you have survived Camden.

I'm worried that dying before the shit hits the fan might be an issue.  Unless you plan to die in the next 5-10 years.

Oh I'm still in Camden. i haven't survived it till I've kicked the dust of the place from my shoes. So yeah the 5-10 year window may still be a very real option for me.

I saw a big roach at the school the other day. You know it's bad when they're so big you can make out the expressions on their faces. I thought crap like that was a strictly South-American treat.

This spring break is tearing me up. I've been sloshed for the last 4 nights and hungover for the last 3 mornings. On the plus side I've got a pretty good hangover remedy now. The secret ingredient is multivitamins.

So you eat a bunch of Flintstone's vitamins and snort a little dab of speed and the hangover is gone? 

I was thinking about a variation of ping pong ball trick.

We found this ginger drink in Japan... apparently did wonders.

I think I've found the secret to avoiding a hangover...

multivitamin aspirin tomato juice grilled cheese
and if that doesn't sound appetizing, spliff yourself into the right mood and then start to consume.

I just like to sleep for 20 hours the day after heavy drinking.

Nah man, Steeleye breakfast and sailing.

Couple spliffs, 2 paracetamol taken with plenty of water, and just start drinking beer again till hungry. Works for me.
