If this video was a man I could watch, but there is something about listening to a woman that makes me unable to get through 2 minutes of it.
Here is whats wrong with American life. The town drunk used to be a loveable character. Remember Otis from Andy of Mayberry? These days drunks are villified, thanks mostly to M.A.D. If we all drank a little more, a little more often, and had to worry about it less, maybe we'd all be a little happier.
Here is what is wrong with American life. It is over. Well, at least the point in keeping this society is gone. Why keep fighting? We don't make anything ourselves. We act like we can all have jobs working on the computer and not actually DO anything. Every time we can get a luxury item we need to make sure the kids have three of them. We spend our time building a society and then stop having children to keep it going, then we let millions of people come here illegally and do nothing about it. That is like a tug of war where we aren't even trying to win. I don't know how many people are exposed to this but here in Vegas the hispanic women get pregnant faster than an American chick can get the newest Iphone. This trend isn't going to stop any time soon, so forget about it. It seems that either candidate won't do shit about this and let me tell you that in four years there will be another billion anchor babies. We treat old people like crap, now they end up working at WalMart until they keel over in the back. Fuck, just think of the productivity the rest of our country loses waiting in line while an old lady that should be home knitting a sweater is instead crippling her ancient wrists trying to scan cans of soup all day long. People in general are just fucking stupid. I don't even mean reading and writing but simple comprehension of human nature. Or just thinking logically. I went into a gas station the other day and there was a little sign on the door that requested that customers who are wearing Halloween masks or have their faces painted not come into the store. Why? I guess so they don't get robbed by someone they can't identify. Like a fucking robber wearing a mask is going to walk up and read that and turn around and leave!!!
I didn't see a reason to start a new thread for this, but anybody see that segment on 60 Minutes that just aired about that company that got a e-waste contract in Denver and send their CRTs to Hong Kong and then on to a horribly polluted town in China?
What's wrong is that we're a "feel good" society. Basically we want everyone to feel good so we accept a poorer product, bad service, poor grades and make excuses. Its a shift of the blame to others and a lack of personal responsibility. That and everyone are a bunch of clones.

I watched most of it I think. I wanted to punch that "Small business owner" right in his fucking face. Made me sick.
