I agree with pretty much all that's been said for the most part. Stop worrying about "hurting someone's feelings", and speak the truth! If someone is that hurt by whatever is said, they don't have to read it and can just keep moving on. Man, we as a country are turning into a bunch of weenies!

And I'm not even gonna start on the whole sticking our nose into other countries affairs. All I will say is leave them alone unless they affect us. Then, go in, do whatever it is we need to do, and leave. Basically, sh!t or get off the pot. Let's take care of our own problems first - after all, we have so many.

There are a lot of things wrong with this country: general politics, justice system, welfare/social services, not being able to discliple your child because some tool might consider it "abuse", and the list goes on and on and on. No one does anything about it though. The only thing gov't is "good" for is to "protect us from ourselves" with asinine laws and policies, but lets the real problems build up.

Just thinking about all this gets me worked up and need to have a cigarette. Gotta watch out though, the gov't might deem that unsafe for me and not let me do that in my own house! Must keep the liquor stored open so the city's drunks can get their fix though!

Ever see the movie "Falling Down"? Well, I feel like that sometimes...
