Wow, the way your brain works is fascinating. When I read your response I hear you stepping all over yourself. You complain about us poisoning our environment but then complain about climate change advocates... you acknowledge our advancement in technology but then complain about hacking issues... you say we didn't create slavery or fix it yet we brought it to this country then decided to abolish it. You try and make the point that we've made no progress with woman's rights because more are working professionals and not in the kitchen? You acknowledge the power of our army but then bring up inner city violence...Sad perspective... I wish! No, its the sad reality!Thats a pretty sad perspective that you have and while much of what you say exists it is only a small part of a much bigger picture.
Nothing is small, the bigger picture was and is ignored!
People's ideology has been evolvingOur country has been evolving since its inception... We are constantly fixing things and dealing with new problems.
We aren't nor haven't fixed shit....
we're dealing with the problems from appeasing others
and failing to hold people accountable in government
We didn't create slaves nor slavery....We created slaves and the eradicated them. We didn't give women equal rights and then we fix that...
people have been forced into slavery for thousands of years
and slavery continues to this day!
Women and equal rights my ass! Fixed what?
Screwing up traditional roles of a man and a woman
Don't get me started!We have just recently accepted the rights of LGBT individuals and are starting to treat them like humans...
We put a man on the moon but, we depleted our forests,And during all this time we have put a man on the moon, built the most powerful army in the world, stood as a pillar for opportunity and fairness, created the largest technological advancement in human history with the computer, internet, medical advancements... we provide aid to those who suffer around the world... I can go on all day...
poisoned our seas, oceans, rivers, lakes, soil and land,
disrupting untold ecosystems and cry about climate change.
We built the most powerful army in the world,
yet, violence plagues our inner cities
Stood as a pillar for opportunity and fairness??
What color is the sky on your planet?
Created the largest technological advancement
in human history with the computer, internet, medical advancements...
Yet, we can't seem to protect it from hackers,
it's used to pry on the people using it,
and has contributed to laziness and vulnerability
Medical advancements...
surgically changing a persons gender
and a pop a pill for every ill generation,
yet, they still can't find a cure for cancer
People need to recognize what is destroying our countryYou have to be able to recognize and appreciate these amazing accomplishments that our nation has achieved and the hard work that millions of people do every day to further the greatness of our country.
by continuing to allow perversions, unaccountability
and concessions and start seeing the bigger picture!
Yes you are talking about real things in SOME of your examples but you seem to be scrambling to focus only on negative elements, some of which have nothing to do with the original point. So yes, it's a very sad perspective that you have... I hope you can open your eyes to the brighter side of the equation every once in a while. It will do wonders for your mental health
Lol...really now...my brain works just fine.Wow, the way your brain works is fascinating. When I read your response I hear you stepping all over yourself.
I look at reality and tell it like it is
I wasn't stepping all over myself,
I was stepping all over your selective reality!
Whose stepping all over themselves^Thats a pretty sad perspective that you have and while much of what you say exists it is only a small part of a much bigger picture.
This response and the ones to followYou complain about us poisoning our environment but then complain about climate change advocates...
are perfect examples of ignoring the bigger picture
I wasn't complaining, I was making a point
When environmentalists and conservationists
were outspoken and adamant concerning the consequences
of depleting the forests and the ripple effect it would have
on every ecosystem, chaining themselves to trees....
They were ignored and written off as looney tree huggers
with no relevant science to back up their predictions.
They had it right though...didn't they
And, were are we now....
thinking we can reverse what is irreversible
money and greed didn't care about the bigger picture then,
but, once again, its money and greed that cares now.
Hacking wasn't the only thing I mentioned.you acknowledge our advancement in technology but then complain about hacking issues...
I find it comical that you brag how we advanced technology,
yet, we are unable to advance protecting the technology
Technological advancements at what true cost?
Technology has done more harm then good
Our country didn't create slavery....you say we didn't create slavery or fix it yet we brought it to this country then decided to abolish it.
what if Africans didn't hit the shores of America
what if Africans were not taken from their land
The violation of African natives through slavery
provided the passage into America, for African Americans today
Basic rights and someone's hang ups, are 2 different thingsYou try and make the point that we've made no progress with woman's rights because more are working professionals and not in the kitchen?
Just like slavery was common place
just like homosexuality was illegal
men worked to provide for the family unit
and women took care of the household and family
The women's rights movement went beyond basic rights
and turned into a defiant and assertive feminist movement
which unraveled the fabric of a women's role in society.
If a woman has children, she has a career.
I'm not talking about women who have to work,
I'm talking about women who choose a career over family.
My sister was a live in nanny for a couple
who lived in a gorgeous house in Lincoln Park.
They had 3 children and both parents were professionals.
My sister got the kids up, fixed their breakfast,
made their lunches while the kids got dressed for school,
and made sure they had their backpacks
before leaving the house to drop them off.
She would run errands and do shopping for the house
and the chores written on the dry erase board for that day.
When it was time, she would pick up the kids from school
and, depending on the day, would drop each of them off at....
a swimming class
piano lessons
guitar lessons
trumpet lessons
tennis lessons
soccer practice
baseball practice
dance classes
by the time she was dropping off the 3rd kid,
it was time to swing back to pick up the first.
They'd get back to the house, do their schoolwork,
she'd fix dinner and get them ready for bed.
This was Monday through Friday.
Both parents were gone before the kids were up
and the kids were already sleeping when they got home
How sad
Just because a woman has the right
to choose to terminate a pregnancy
doesn't mean she has the right to be irresponsible
Just because a person has the right
to have relationships with the same sex, doesn't mean
they have a right to force their lifestyle on society
Just because people have moral convictions
doesn't give others the right to cry discrimination
Just because a woman has the right to have children
doesn't give her the right to have children she can't
financially support because she can seek financial support
Just because someone has the right, doesn't give them the right
to contribute to the decay of society and rewrite our standards
We can not control our borders any more then our streetsYou acknowledge the power of our army but then bring up inner city violence
We will use our military might in desert wastelands
yet, we don't go after the unstable kook in North Korea
I'm not scrambling anything...I live in realityYes you are talking about real things in SOME of your examples but you seem to be scrambling to focus only on negative elements, some of which have nothing to do with the original point.
I don't live in La la land,
riding unicorns and eating cotton candy
with my head shoved so far up my ass
I have to open my mouth just to see where I'm going
I responded to your post, not the OP
I hope you can pull your head out of your ass....So yes, it's a very sad perspective that you have... I hope you can open your eyes to the brighter side of the equation every once in a while. It will do wonders for your mental health
it would do wonders for the health of society!
