We need to stop being lazy, and eliminate ignorant pop culture instead of feeding into it as if its the Alpha and the Omega of life.

Yep. That is the American way, isnt it. We have no culture, no art, no history, no brains (we have to pay smart people from other countries to do smart stuff for us), we cant play any sport besides American football, about which no one besides us even gives a shit, we cant work, so we depend on Mexican and other immigrants to do work for us, we are extremely overweight, and our kids are even worse, but we still have loads of money that we stole from the rest of the world, and we are happy, because WE ARE AMERICA! OH SAY CAN YOU SEE... and so on.


speak for your self...I work 60 plus hours a week...was cleaning parking lots in Down town Oakland from the age of 12 until I was 22, I worked along side Mexicans scrubbing toilets at the local elementary school and at office buildings, also cleaned commercial airliners too. I used to also dig ditches on construction sites and I spent my summers prunning apple trees and and then picking the apples in the fall harvest. I also worked for numerous landscapers and in my teens I mowed lawns and did yard work. Also I used to watch my neigbors kids. And I am the norm and so are so many of my friends. All worked hard. I never stole any money from the rest of the world...but I know plenty of my tax paying dollars have gone to the world. Don't jump on the band wagon saying how we are lazy...that is just a ploy to get people to support this Amnesty Bill.

The object is to get the super highway from South America to Canada so that the huge corpoarations can reap huge rewards. US population has to increase to bring back the cheaper costs of productions so that we can compete with china...this is the big picture...North America cannot compete with the Production of China unless the cost of labor and everything here is cheap...only way to do that is to increase our population...think about it...this is what is happening...we are bringing cheap labor back to us so we don't have to send our goods and ideas and businesses abroad. USA is the largest importer of chinese goods...think of all the money saved if those goods were produced here locally. Mexico just discovered one of the largest oil reserves in the world I think it is # 2 now...anyway corporations think 50 to 100 years out...not short term. This is what is going on and it is One world One global government. If you want to take control then you have to make your opponents irrelevant. China is only relevant because of cheap labor costs...match those and there is no need for China. And unfortunately this is what is happenning. North America has huge gas and Oil reserves...better to use up someone else's firtst before our own...that way we have it all in the end

My friend, only one way we can beat China. To do this Russia, EU, US and Canada all have to become one united political entity, with one currency, a joint military force, etc. Then, with Canadian and Russian oil and gas, Russian, American, British, and French nuclear power, and the huge combined military and economic strengh, we can as you say compete with China. But that would never happen. (BTW, you talk about China, but don't forget, we have another Asian giant with a population of 1.2 bln people: India. They too have a huge potential.)

I dont believe all Americans are lazy, but a whole hell of alot of people think it is their God given right to receive hand outs. For instance, we would save alot of money by cutting back on welfare, and I am not talking about being ruthless, I am talking about ridding the system of non productive parasites. For instance I dont think any teen mother should be allowed to get on welfare, because alot of those girls do not use the money for the baby, they use it as their play money, and its everyone else who ends up supporting her kid. Its almost an incentive for some girls to get pregnant so they can get a check. Perhaps more girls would think twice if the state came in and said she had to give her child up for adoption if her parents werent interested in taking on the burden. Welfare should be there for families who find themselves up sh*t creek without a paddle, and it should enable them to get back on their feet, not stay on it forever. Nobody except for the elderly should be able to tap into social security. Low income housing should only go to families who are interested in being upwardly mobile, And anyone who was born to an illegal should not be allowed to be employed in government jobs, because they are the traitors who provide funds to individuals who would never be able to get their hands on such a check due simply to the fact that they have no social security number and are not legal. And sorry but kids who want to behave like little punks in school, need to have their asses packed off to boot camps and should not be allowed to contact anyone except their parents, so long as their parents arent part of the problem. I could go on, but there is really too much crap to list, and it makes my blood boil just thinking about all the crap that needs to change around here. Mad

Thats not the fault of everyday Americans, thats the fault of greedy SOB's. Perhaps its time for patriotic Americans to put their foot down about buying items from losers who refuse to do business fairly in the USA. Also I wonder what sort of businesses you are referring to, because we have a whole hell of alot of people on welfare who can work. So now what?

Its a little something called FAIR WAGES. Lord knows we arent getting any discounts on produce, I know because its more expensive to be a vegetarian than it is to eat meat. As to turkey processing plants, PAY THEM AND THEY WILL COME. Laughing and as to restaurants, if you are referring to fast food joints then you are wrong again, there are people willing to work, they have been shut out by illegal competition because alot of time the manager is an illegal who likes to hire his own kind. Racism at its finest.

No I am referring to large restaurants. They use illegals like crazy to wash dishes, bass tables.

No manager is going to pay 15-20 bucks/per hour for this job. Are you kidding?

Those places hire illegals because they are too cheap to pay fairly, and because once you do hire an illegal, the illegal will have friends to quickly replace anyone who quits, so that works out to the advantage of the tight wade who hired the first illegal. This has nothing to do with not having the work force or being able to afford to employ Americans. Its about greed, so I do not see how greed factors into your claim that some places will go belly up. The only way they will go belly up, is if the owner continues to line his own pockets without paying his employees.

ya, USA is a mess right now. Only one solution you know.

The Constitution of the United States is a law for rulers and people, equally in war and in peace, and covers with the shield of its protection all classes of men, at all times, and under all circumstances. No doctrine, involving more pernicious consequences, was ever invented by the wit of man than that any of its provisions can be suspended during any of the great exigencies of government.

To live under the American Constitution is the greatest political privilege that was ever accorded to the human race.

This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it.

Abraham and of course Ben is my resource of comments. Cool

Arrow Demokratiya - dva volka i yagnenok, golosuyuschij o tom, chto imet' na zavtrak. Svoboda - horosho vooruzhennyj yagnenok, osparivaya golos. Exclamation Twisted Evil

I love Russia ever since the Rocky movie. I have the Russian Flag below my Betsy Ross Flag and of course my Native Sioux Flag is on top. LMAO

No one has ever questioned it. LOL
