We have become a society of posessions, where people see value in a person based on what he owns, Thanks to Media and the exploitation of the Rich and access to theyre homes and rides, etc...

Nobody really puts values on Marriage, Family, Future etc... Thats all taken for granted.

The generations of immigrants coming into this country has really changed it alot for the worst, The outsourcing of america has really hurt us too, but americans want a deal regardless of the future impact, Americans are fat and lazy, they feel an entitlement to life, nobody wants to work for it, especially the baby boomers and they teach theyre children the same thing, why do you think the white kids of america today have no work ethic, Its not cause the mexicans are taking theyre job, its cause MTV and media told them that you cant have a paper route, you cant work at a restaurant, that would be lowering yourself, you need to start at the top, You have been at your job 2 days, you should be the president by now.

Something has to change in this country.

We are a country of Rich and Poor, no more middle class, only to be worse in the years to come. America needs to start manufacturing jobs here again, farming here again, Grow real food, Grow real animals.

The **** they put into livestock to grow faster and then we eat it, its not healthy by any means. The milk we drink, the veggies we eat, its all fabricated by means of stimulation.

Farmers helped built this country and we turn our backs on them saying, that we can get that in a pill form.

The medications that doctors throw at us, and we think its safe cause a doctor told us so, get a clue, its about profits for the RX companies and its about vactions and bonuses for the doctors for pushing them.

Wake up Citizens, take back America, it starts in your home.

Rant

My opinion is that there is too much rhetoric in this 1st reply and possibly in your first question e.g. allies.

Take out the fact I called Russia and China our allies and I believe it's a very simple question that should allow someone that really knows what they are talking about to explain it to me in somewhat of a very short and simple answer.

[BlueTJCO]

are starting to isolate ourselves from some of the top dog governments such as Russia and China?

So a very simple question for some of you. Are things getting worse, or has it always been like this (power struggle and threats) and I'm just now starting to take notice and get more involved?[/quote]

The nuclear posture of the country (U.S. military) is more relaxed than in previous years.

The game stays the same, only the players change.


Most women say if they ruled the world there would be no wars, I disagree, I'd bomb them back to the stoneage...get it over with already.

[Big Dad]

I'm new to this forum...old person with technology. I won't point out that someone is clueless. I'll clarify and validate their question. Things are better.

No, we have the Pakistan and India threat, the Iran and Isreal threat, the Syrians, the Saudi's...the east/middle east is where we were with russia in the 80's.

[HummBebe]

Simply put, as 3rd world countries increase their technology, they get a little drunk with power until some slaps them down. North Korea? China? Same sh1t different countries.

In contrast to these threats, the US no longer has airplanes orbiting 24/7 waiting to give a "launch the nuclear arsenal" in response to a Russian or Chinese nuclear attack i.e. the 1980's.

[Big Dad]

I disagree, I think it's totally a different bucket of $hit. Just not so bad as "global nuclear annihilation."

Are you of the "duck and cover" generation?

That we know of

[Big Dad]

Global nuclear threat had been around for quite some time. Economically we as a country are in a much better position than we used to be. I don't think there is much in the way of valid arguments against that. There is poverty in our country and there is the have and have-nots but what are we to compare it with? We are the free market economy.

That is a true statement. And, we do constantly end up in the "world police" position.

We are constantly coming to the defense and aid of the Underdogs. And I don't disagree with that, but it always keeps us in the middle of everything. As it also makes us a target.

[Big Dad]

In this day and age I think that people have become more altruistic than ever before. I think that things are much better for many reasons and wish I had time to hang here. It's my 3 day weekend and I have to take-off. Maybe later. Have a good weekend.

Only because technology has afforded us a better warning system.

Oh and thank you for your service and sacrifice BD.

I agree!! A good ole'fashioned spanking. Time outs haven't worked. (meaning embargos)

Imagine what kind of world we'd live in if we all had the same beliefs...
