How about Texas next?
(sorry aaron)
Stop filling dumpsters, as much as you possibly can, and everything will get better.

Just think it through.
It's not hard to do.

The Texas idea is close, but too narrow in scope. I think we should invade America. Bring back some of the 100,000's who are overseas and round up the low-life, don't work, never did'd who drain our society from the Welfare spigot.

If you want that monthly paycheck, get out and do something. Clean the streets, pick up brush, paint the lines in the road. Something!

Spoken like a true Christian American, can I refer you to Why do Americans hate poor people?

How about if the something the poor did was riot or revolt? At least it is something? No?

I think we should invade Cuba (to annex their doctors) and solve the 'health care crisis'!

Hey, don't worry. I think it'll be the former middle class poor who are out rioting post peak oil when the socioeconomic system screws them over finally. They don't have a problem as long as they percieve they are benefiting.

I can't wait until the McMansion owners who complain about welfare recipients are the ones in homeless shelters or waiting in soup kitchen lies. Serves em right for complaining about helping the poor in the past.

I would just like to point out that I own no military, therefore I will not be invading anyone. If the Nazi clowns in the big white house invade somebody it will be without my authorization or participation.

As for the video, my god...I can only hope that they cut out 90% of the interviews. Surely most Americans know the difference between Australia and Korea. Somebody please tell me they do. Please?

Most college-attending Americans do (at least, the ones I associate with).

They're not totally brain-dead (most are just distracted by the hangover they have). There are actually a few who love to play the "lol dumb American" role to Europeans... (especially Europeans with cameras..)

"What? Iran? Yeah, we should nuke those sand-loving towel-headed bastards! Fsck Yeah!"

"Australia is now called North Korea? Traitorous scum! Let's invade!!"

But there are people who say/believe this. It gets confusing sometimes telling the two kinds of people apart. :(

Both types know and revel in the fact that they have no power to change anything.

Rogernb: I did not have the time to read the thread you refered to yet. I/we are not amonst the rich, maybe we are a part of the lower middle crust if best. I just dislike my/our hard-earned money being taxed away to people who could work but choose not to.

Absolutely, but why do think that's the poor people?

1% of Americans own 38% of America, do you think they worked for all of that?

The remarkable thing is how Americans are trained to blame everyone below themselves rather than looking upwards.
