please explain something to me

chadwick

as i do not follow politics like some of you do. for one thing, it is very boring and the same old shit to me.
the question i have is this...

president A is in office and fucks shit up. voting time, president A is out and a new one is in, we'll call him president B.

president B sucks ass too and has fucked shit up as well. he is not voted out. 4 more years of bullshit continues.

900 years go by and this is the same scenario. (ok 900 years is pushing it a bit )

then both sides blame one another to the point of madness and whatnot.
corruption smells like government

stupid shit smells like the citizens

i just don't get it
right/left/right/left
extreme this extreme that
argue argue argue and do zero worth a fiddler's fuck

this shit is a fucking joke
not one swingin dick takes responsibility and man's up to fix anything without pointing fingers of blame

when did the united states government and other governments become so fucked?
why can't we all get along and help each other?
why are people still starving around this spinning planet while others are beyond wealthy to the extent of unfathomable riches while helping zero?

mostly it seems it is someone elses's problem each and everytime

i got news for ya folks, we are fucking stupid and weak and controlled to the point of anger and disappointment.
i do not understand this government and others.

I think it's time for a good old fashioned revolution!

Well, I guess It's a disease...
and they're all green
and it actually emminates from their being
there seems to be alot of agitation with their occupations

I liken it to weeds with big fat leaves that steal the light from all that's beneath...
though here they have more.... still those bastards take more

Sometimes I know, and sometimes I I don't
Sometimes peoople talk out both sides of their throat

It's deceiving and so hard to believe them

Even though we all can scream outside all of our doors
still, behind the wall that fat man snores
In his dreams he's choking on dem leaves

Now I know there's nothing wrong with what you say
Believe me, I'm just asking you to sway
There's no white
There's no black,
there's just gray

I know you can , but can't we all feel this world with our hearts and not our brains?

Hmm?

It is explained very simply. We as Americans, including politicians are concerned more about of standard of living and not standards of giving. We serve our own interests for financial gain not for mankind. Once we begin to raise our standard of giving, we will better serve our country. Military understands, political and typical Americans don't. Ignorance is bliss and destructive. IMO

"Raise your standard of giving." I love that

it's not just one man's problem
it's the whole damn group in D.C. and each state
fucking out of control

also, a leader of any government should not come from a wealthy background. that is what i firmly believe wholeheartedly. i want our leaders to know what being hungry is all about and what wearing rags is about.

these punk ass fuckers in D.C. should be ashamed of themselves. some of us are ashamed for them i guess.
where are their balls? where is their integrity?

who in government has actually done manual labor getting blisters on their hands and feet?
then going home to a pile of unpaid bills, hungry children, and no fucking heat in their shack?
or seniors who have to trade food or food quality for medication only after they have worked hard the last 50 years.

this is insane.
but it comes down to us citizens being lazy and stupid and sheep with a big fat zero for a spine.

rollings

No wonder its insane..
politicians act in a way that is exact opposite as to how we teach our children to act

Can you imagine if the kind of smearing that occurs at every single election--whether it be for city counsel straight up to president of the United States--were to occur at any elementary school class election?

Those kids would be reprimanded lickety-split.

But yet the people who are our actual frickin "Leaders"--those who make decisions that affect so many aspects of our life-- engage in this kind of behavior...and continue this and other deceitful, conniving, behavior on a regular--and quite expected--basis...and its no secret how big a part greed and power are in their "decisions".

....and the rich man in his summer home
singing "just leave well enough alone"....

and it will never change
I'm with ya on your OP Chad, we learn to point fingers at a very early age to re-direct blame and attention away from ourselves for comfort , safety , gain or profit of some kind or another.

whygohome

The United States of America has gone form a democracy--a government for the people, by the people--to a corporate oligarchy--a government for the rich and corporate and by the rich and corporate.

The people--the citizens of this once great land--are morons. We have devolved into a selfish, materialistic, stupid, greedy, apathetic group of individuals. We are nowhere close to representing a society.

the necessity for compassion is outweighed by the abundance of greed
greed will be the undoing of civilization, not just our country
survival of humanity will have to be a global effort and sadness of sadness i believe greed will out

I agree I think that people that do not follow politics and do not know what there voting for or do not have an idea of what they want on all social, country, fiscal and worldwide issues need to do their homework and know what they are voting for or at least have a voice. Its people that use the excuse that they find it boring (no offense) and do not take a personal stance on issues that end up affecting us all. So yes, that is why politicians have been getting away with this for so long. This is why the Tea Party has been successful. They got organized and very vocal and got some reps in.
