Everyone has there opinion. I don't think that tv and game violence is a good thing. They can make great movies and games without a lot of violence.
|
because its easier for them to hit back at games. they think just kids play games and go out and do what they would on a game SAD! people dont understand they need to play the game first before they do anything!

Or how is this free. If you want a house you pay 400,000. And from then on your a slave to the banks and the government. Paying high taxes and loans for the rest of your life. While in some European countries when your 20 you have your own house and paid off. And taxes are about 200 dollars a year and not around 5,000 a year like here. |

I don't want to be rude, but that sounds like something Stalin would say. Sure you pay a lot of money for stuff, but we have the freedom to say what we want be what we want and do what we want. You say that we can't pee or drink and drive? It seems to me that by doing that you would be taking away someone else's rights. As for taxes in europe that is not true. European countries are so far gone that they are starting to limit the freedom of speech. Would you rather trade the right to say and do what you want for a free house? I wouldn't. Also, think of how rich the U.S. is. I see fat bums all the time. In the U.S. everyone can have a car, a house, a computer, and all the food they want if they get off their lazy butts and work. People complain that the government should pay for and give us everything that we want, but they don't realize that by doing so we are heading towards one of two things - communism, or total complacancy and the inablility to better our lives. Look at the health system in Europe - they have extremely low quality health care compared to the U.S., but you say that the government can do everything better. A survey run by Gallup Polls recently said that 75% of Upper class people come from the lowest position of society - only 25% of the rich stay rich. Any people like you say that the rich just keep getting richer. A word of advice: If you want to be communist - move to China and leave the greatest nation on God's green earth as it is. A free nation with equal opportunity. |

The US is becoming more communist every day. What do you thing does high taxes are going to. It supports housing, food, and cars for the poor. And then the rest goes to other social programs. 40 years ago taxes were a lot less and the living standard was better. There are fat people because of unhealthy food. There are people that go to other countries for health care because its a lot cheaper. |
Cheaper health care doesn't mean better health care.
I am unsure on your postion - do you want the U.S. to cut out personal responsibility and feed everyone or do you think people need to take care of themselves? I think that the more the government takes care of people unneccessarily(I'm not talking about limited time care and care for the elderly and infirm) The less people will want to work and our country will lose it's position as the most powerful and advanced nation in the world. Look at Russia: Russia is a perfect example of what happens when the gov. takes over. Everyone could get everything for very cheap- but you couldn't find it anywhere. People starved, were persecuted, and tortured, all in the name of a "more quality existence" - does this make any sense to you? |

Definition of Communism: A government system where the government has total control over all industry and all aspects of life. I think that defined the U.S.S.R. Also, China is still communist in many ways - sure they are changing, but they still persecute Chrisians, and Jews kill whomever they feel like whenever they feel like it, and limit free speech - the 3 most horrible aspects of Communism - persecution, restricting free speech, and government sanctioned murder. God Bless the U.S.A. |

1- The easeness of any person of being sued for almost anything. 2- Gun's "rights" and the whole violent culture around gansta rap and military ideals based more around weapons than warrior honor. 3- The patent system. These guys from the industry want to patent forms of life too! 4- The health system as an industry. The labelization of every state of consciousness as a disease with a three (sometimes four) lettered word. 5- Christian fundamentalists who decry any single thing that is not their business. 6- Misguided patriotism based on the work of scientists. |
