I really feel like our country is going to hell in a handbasket. Eric Cantor won't agree with anyone. The president is storming out of talks. The Minnesota State Government has been shut down for two weeks. Its crazy.
Thoughts?
Also, if you're not from the United States and the only thing you have to contribute is 'My country is better blahblahblah' I hate you. That's not productive or interesting.

:/ Well the stress is clearly getting to Obama but I think he's doing the best he can considering all the problems he's had to deal with so I think he should get another shot. But yeah I wish it was somewhat easier to get a job in some areas. Unless you have connections its pretty much luck x.x

I think Obama could be doing a better job, but he's the best bet we have in order to stop some of the bat-s**t crazy politicians that are delaying the debt limit increase even though they all voted to do it 19 times when Bush was president...

I don't know enough about the candidates to know who I'd vote for yet, but people seem to be blaming the president for a lot. Being president is one of the hardest jobs there is and it can't be easy with everyone blaming him for every little thing. He's not the only one that controls things and nobody can agree on anything.
I agree about the schools. This one substitute I always had traveled all over the world seeing different schools and said America's schools are actually pretty bad compared to the rest of the world especially with how money is used and given to schools. He said my school was really good though, so I guess I'm just lucky. But I know some other schools are pretty awful.

Technically speaking i can't vote but if i could, it'd be for Obama. I think he's stressed out and some people are saying crap about him but I think he's doing amazingly well considering who came before him. Not his fault Bush f*cked the States up.

In comparisons to the rest of the world our school systems are hella messed up. When it comes to the higher grades, we rank at the bottoms for math and science. Which you know, are kinda important. My psychology had us watch this video called Waiting for Superman that was all about our School systems and it just seriously pissed me off. If you ever get the chance to I highly suggest you watch it.

I am just waiting for the God Damned
Illuminati to pour into the White House
and start giving out orders, out in the
open instead of behind the scenes.
Because all smart people know the
president isn't really president of any
thing. Much like the Queen of England.
The President is just a figure, a key ring
jingled in the American people's faces to
cover up what is really going on.
........ Hey, I was just offering the alternative
belief structure. XD

Also. Might I make it a point that the American
people have been allowing the Government to
rape them in the a** since the dawn of time. We
are billions of people and the government is a select
few. We have been needing a civil war like yesterday.
But the American people are totally ******** fine to
give up civil liberties for what they feel is, "Freedom."
If we wanted too, we could do something. But are there
any efforts made? No.
And I don't want to hear any totalitarian bullshit about how
we can vote. American's are too stupid to vote. Why? Because
half the ******** idiots that voted for Bush voted for him because
he, "Loved America." What a bloody STUPID a** REASON
to vote for someone! I love America too, but you don't see my
white a** being voted into office. NO! WE NEED A REVOLUTION.
And I know that sounds stupid, anarchist, and all sorts of stupid.
But it is suppose to be all people united under one flag. Not, a select
few deciding what is united under what flag.
-sighs- I sound like a serious douche bag. Forgive me. But I feel
that we as people need to start looking at what we can do, and
less about what we can't and what is crappy about our country.
We CAN stand together. We CAN start making demands. We
CAN get our school systems back to where they need to be.
But you know what the biggest obstacle is for that? Ourselves.
Until we can fix that, our country will remain divided.

Lol nah you're fine. I hear that stuff all the time. And its true. Most Americans are lazy ******** who don't want to do anything that requires a lot of effort but they turn around and b***h about eeeeeeeverything. I mean seriously if most of the populace opened their eyes they'd see a few signs.
Japan: Do I really need to explain this? They have better schools than us. They have better tech than us. There's a reason why that is.
South Africa: They've got a few problems but its still a great governing system.
Europe as a whole: Higher gas prices but have you seen their cities? ******** go for a drive in Alabama. There's more crumbling buildings than I can count.
I totally agree on the school stuff too. Physics and Chemistry were electives. E-L-E-C-T-I-V-E-S. Surely we can't be that scared of a few symbols and a little math. And the only foreign language I could choose was Spanish. Yeah lot of variety there. Ya know where a large chunk of the budget went to? Distance Learning. Instead of just asking the teacher to drive a bit or maybe hire another, they spent thousands of dollars on high-tech cameras and mics. All I have to say to that is that I would have loved to learn some Japanese words.
But eh I look at myself ranting and think "Damn Dustin bitchy much? XD" Still its a valid point. We definitely need some changes.
And for ******** sake, can we use another campaign slogan besides "I'll lower your taxes!" Contrary to popular belief, lowering taxes actually makes things worse.

Meh I slept from 8 to 1 so I'm good to go. (currently 730 am here.)
Adding on, it may sound terrible but...we kinda need to be attacked. Truth be told, all those idiots will shut up and do what needs to be done if they're scared.
