Purpose for USA??

It never ceases to amaze me how some people's belief systems influence their thought patterns. It's really dangerous to simply adhere to indoctrinated beliefs and annoint them the ultimate beliefs. One must be open to change if change is warranted.
The change I speak of only comes from reflecting on one's values and belief set... and then measuring these by analysis of alternative and conflicting beliefs and values. One cannot ignore overwhelming statistics, the works of exceptional scholars, the study of history and/or mathematics that serve as disproof for one's beliefs.
Failure to apply critical thinking to all facets of life leads to biased and sometimes destructive attitudes that are counterproductive to the progress of humanity.
A democracy is bound to fail when members within it do not engage in critical thought thought. A democracy only works best when all members of it fulfill their responsibility within it and become educated and knowledgeable regarding the neverending issues affect their country. You can't 'play' democracy... you have to 'act' democracy. If your opinion and your vote means something... then you are responsible for engaging in critical thought and testing your belief system.
When many do not... the country they belong to truly needs a wise and fair King- not a bunch of misinformed and stubborn people- to make the appropriate decisions.

UH just read the content, and you might learn something. Even if the USA is the oldest current govt. or 3rd or 5th, it doesnt matter, the point is that you gotta give the USA some credit! You dont have to bash it every chance you get. Its ok to give it some props once in awhile!!
Come on Chadwick, be fair and balanced. Your statement scores a zero with the judges!

I see the people who are mis-informed here, becoming the entitlement class and the "sheeple" of this nation. They are the followers and the media owns them! They will vote for people who promise them things, not the ones who will take those things away. If you want America to get her books balanced, then you must tell the "takers" to accept less things! We must empower the "makers" to generate more wealth with less regulations! Its that simple!Theres no time like the present
A man that stands for nothing....will fall for anything!
All people need to do more on every level!0 -

Personally, I have plenty of good things to say about the U.S.A, but none of them have anything to do with your government, or your history of plunder, pillage, and destruction.
You say you're a Christian? Then why would you defend modern-day robber-barons, and war-mongers?
Despite you being American, I don't think you have the slightest clue about the positives your country has given to the World.
I mean, one minute you're cheering Norman fucking Schwarzkopf, guns, and the death penalty, and the next you're admonishing people for not giving the USA 'some credit'. To be perfectly honest, I think you're the last person who should be pretending to represent America.0 -

Come on Zoso, Im referring to 99 weeks of unemployment! 99 weeks? are you kiddin me? Im talking about the cheaters who take as much welfare as they can get and spend the food stamps on beer and drugs. Im talking about the cheaters, mockers and takers who abuse the system. Im talking about those who take Social Security and then use 1/3 of it to play the lottery, buy alcohol and drugs, buy stereos and tv's with it.
They are not charitable in the sense that they spend more on themselves gratification than giving to charities! I see it! So you are dividing here.....and your statement derails us from the subject!Theres no time like the present

I know most of you hate me here but I will stand on the fact that if all the world did what you suggest, USA give back the land to the Natives, then 1/2 of the world would have to retreat back to where it came from!
Yea Im sure Canada, Austrailia, USA, would be able to do that.....so we can be "real" in Chadwicks eyes!
YESSSSS lets be real and give it back!Theres no time like the present

thank you, Byrnzie & Dimitris. you guys rock
yes it has been said more than 4,006 times on here... "chadwick for president" this is a huge undertaking & one i could do & do well. first & foremost... set your balls on a nice big wooden desk & accept crown yourself the shit.
feed poor. clothe poor. educate all. no wars. shut down assholes... all assholes, near & far. praise women, near & far. dance & party w/ all people especially women. women need servicing. this is a man's task in life, service women. a man should be wearing vagina necklace.
if man or woman is of the love same gender... so be it. they are equals. they get insurance. they get paid well. they do not get hurt feelings. they are rewarded as anyone else. they are a human being.
shoot a elephant, bear, wolf or any exotic creature... expect to be placed into deep shit...literally
yes i like chadwick for president. i'd never wear a suit. i'd show up for business in my levis or my carhartt bibs & sweatshirt & smokin a lot of green weed
by the way... i haven't smoked a single puff of grass in over 4 months. why? because in order to acquire my pain meds percocet & methadone i have to pass their urine tests looking for things like thc & whatnot. so i been jailed yet again in this freedom sings country. can you believe it? i could drink if i wanted to, i don't though. but i cannot under any circumstance indulge in marijuana useage because big business health care & pharmaceuticals own my frickin ass...currently. yes i am a prisoner in what is supposedly the freest country on the face of the planet.for poetry through the ceiling.

F4F.. the welfare system does more to help the needy then you give credit for... their are more needy people out their that genuinely need the assistance then people who you taking advantage of the system. Doesn't that make it a success? I'm not excusing those who take advantage but welfare is necessary when it's a pretty much a success or failure world.I'm just flying around the other side of the world to say I love you

I love you forever and forever
