It's raining stupidity

[arcangel911]

I have to agree with you Klayton. Remember folks, that what you see on TV is sometimes more real than what you think it is. People may eat this stuff up and enjoy it, but when SHTF, they will be the ones leaving the cities with everyone else.

I will use the Jersey Shore crew, who IMHO- are some of the dumbest twits in the world. Sadly one of them invaded my normal enjoyable show, and was being interviewed by someone. I turned it off due to, the fact that this person could not have been acting from a script- they were truly that dumb with all the fixings.

At this point, I look at Darwinism. Which is the strong and prepared survive- the weak.... well you know how it ends for them.

I like the Jersey Shore people, they make me appreciate my college degree much more than I usually do.

I agree with Klayton and monkeybird. Something like single motherhood. Now it's like some kind of honorable thing to be a single mother, and all this crap. It used to be shameful. Obviously taking care of you kid is great, so if you did that by yourself, great, that could obviously be more difficult for you, so that's wonderful and all that. Still, it used to be that you don't have kids with just anyone. You have them with the person you will be with for the rest of your life. Oh, it may even be a good idea for the two of you to wait until you are financially capable of doing it, just for good measure.
No more scruples, no more values. Actually it's worse, because this deficient culture has made bad behavior and attitudes into a virtue. They have twisted things all up to create a value system that is opposite what it should be. Maybe it's natures way of getting rid of flawed genes, through the manifestation of self destructive behavior and values.

Actually, it makes me more unhappy; since I am and had to pay for my degree's and education. And these ding-a-lings are making far more money than I do. Ah well.....

Agreed. Ahh, what can we do. Fortunately we have the freedom to ignore these people and the MEGA media companies that put them on the air.

Has anyone noticed how know one ever goes after big hollywood, big TV or even big MUSIC?

Has anyone thought that the reason most of the world hates us is due to these pathetic shows? Think about it, you're in you're 1 room concrete box you call home with you're family of 6 in India, Iran (insert contry here) watching, Jerry Springer, Jersey Shore, Real Housewives of Scumbucket Lane... (whatever). And you think to yourself how on earth can such a dumb society have so much wealth that they can celebrate and reward the people that make up these shows? It would make me want to go to war too on nothing more than general principal!

Housewives, what a joke, real housewives should be pissed at the example they are potraying but instead they watch them and make them popular. crazy

There is a little truth to that because there are some countries I have been in that have satelite/cable tv but no plumbing. However the reason that most dislike us is because of all we have and are able to do. For instance this posting, try this in China, Middle East or Russia, you will get a special visit and get disappeared.
If we see something that we want to help us survive we just click and buy it, never mind we have no money we have credit. Credit doesnt exist in alot of the world. You must have money.
If we want to buy a car in the middle of the night we just make a call and they will meet us if they know we have credit/money to do it. That is illegal even in nice places such as most European countries. Stores shut down for family time.
They hate us because we have all of this and yet we do some of the most idioatic stuff in the world such as make shows like you listed, refuse to play a kids game (football) for only a few million a year, show up in their country refusing to speak the language, being 100lbs overweight and acting like it's not your fault, complaining because they dont make their food (which they started) they way we do, being rude by not learning culture while in their house, claiming Christianity but going to Thailand to buy a child for sex, not immediatly going to an supposed allies aid (Japan)after a disaster because we are waiting on them to call(a real friend doesnt wait on their buddy to call for help, they show up with tools and a 6pack).

I could go on because I heard it from them for years as I lived with them and tried to do the right thing while in their parts of the world. Even I made mistakes though, alot of them truthfully.
As a whole the muslims are correct we are Infidels, doesnt make them any better though, they are full of it too. The hate is easy, we give them everything they need to do it. The hate is wrong too but they can't read and do what the Iman tells them is right. We can read and still do what the idiot Preacher says even if it goes against the Bible. Just look at the Jonestown massacre for example, no doctrine just a man and all educated people with money, talent, good lives and possibilites and yet they all died for nothing.

We have so much and yet do so little with it. We have done so little we are falling out of world power status, for example our economy is going to be #3 in just a few years. They see that and it ticks them off. Heck it ticks me off, #3, really this is what I fought my a.. off for #3, this is why I watched good folks die #3.

I aint trying to say they are right and we are wrong, I'm just listing things that have been said to me by them, so dont go getting up in your feelings if I touch a nerve. Sometimes when they said these things I had to eat a big ole USA pride stuffed sh.. sandwich myself. It sucks when someone calls you on your own self inflicted stuff full of "I deserve attitude" like those idiot shows representing us.

Off the soapbox, light me up, I know it's coming

@Matt: well said friend... may I add a few points from my view?

1) we are already #3 (#1 China, #2 Japan, #3 US-this may have changed since the last disaster however). This is based on economy, unemployment, education, but most of all, average wealth of nation. America is allowing this so we have nobody to blame but ourselves. We continually re-elect the likes of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, we have a huge majority of our population brainwashed into not seeing what is really behind unions. The list goes ON and ON...

2) as I stated in previous post, we our a nation of no respect... Japanese after their disaster were in line for their emergency rations and water, calm and one behind the other, and each one AND I MEAN EACH ONE could be see bowing in thanks for their little cardboard box of emergency aid, you wouldn't see that in America, heck you cant even watch a simple parade in Anerica without seeing lazy Americans sitting on their duff when Old Glory passes by, heck most dont even put their hands over their heart when it passes by anymore (something my children know to due out of respect)...

3) appearance is everything, even in that armpit of the world I call area 1 South Korea, I remember wearing my favorite t-shirt (its old, probably had it for 10 years at the time I was in Korea) well it has a few wear holes in it, EXTREMELY SMALL holes in one spot of wear, I will never forget the shock on the face and the reaction of the merchant at the cyber cafe, in his broken English (yes they try to learn English even though most of us dont even attempt their language in THEIR country) what happen? your shirt is tore. I explained my favorite shirt in all, he just shook his head and said your shirt is tore... APPEARANCE is everything...

4) they have their bad sides, as we all do, they just seriously keep it in the closet... and if you DARE to bring it out, you are ruined as a person for disgracing your people and your country... I remember seeing captured bad guys (opsec) in a cell, we went to bring their morning rations and several men were having sex together... I was like WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!?!! but according to our local national it is not abnormal if women are not available, well just call me GROSSED OUT all you want... Some religious cultures are extremely strict, but if they go to this one city (name slips my memory at the moment) God can't see them, and they let their freak out (so to speak)... America, we flaunt our degenates and say they are free to do what they want, we pay millions and hold high school drop outs as heroes because they can sing a rap song...etc etc etc

well enough I get winded on certain topics, sorry all...

Long Live the Republic!
