recently my SSI was cut in half due to the fact that they have been over paying because they didnt know my mom was receiving child support when she has told them for years. so now we owe $6,000 and the ssi is cut in half and you know what? i still belive in the system, people need to quit bitchin and DEAL WITH IT. shit happens and youre not gonna come out on top everytime. ive learned to deal with everything in my life from almost dying at 1 1/2, being permanently disabled, barely getting by, crackhead parents, living with depression that was passed on from family and i dont know what else but you have to deal with it. period.
How do you learn to deal with almost dying at 1 1/2?

Do you actually remember that?

I was kidnapped at 1 1/2, but don't remember shit all about it.

a small child is starving because his/her parents did not provide for it, or fucked over its life somehow. a child depends on the parents to provide. the senior citizen should be lucky he had medicare in the first place, did they have medicare hundreds of years ago? no. and no1 complained. people are taking what america provides and thinks its a necessity. america with all its advancements has made people unappreciative. be lucky youre alive.


"If you don't fit the mold, you have to struggle."

life is a struggle, deal with it.

Just like when African Americans were slaves. I'm sure people had the same attitude, "Hey Nigger! Lifes a struggle, deal with it"

Right. Just like the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children who were denied basic medication, suffered and died in the last 10 years simply because Amerika denied them to have it. "Life is a struggle you little 2 year old Arab fuck. Deal with it"

Hitler told the Jews to give up. Just deal with it you kykes.

Man, that's bullshit... our country has the means of cheaper, more efficient fuel, but since the head of our government has so much stock in Oil, our people and our enviroment suffer.

We are not lucky to have anything we have. We have what we have because it makes us a better consumer and it makes the higher-ups in corporate America more money.

We are living in a corrupted system, a modern day Roman Empire. Currently, the people in power are out for personal benifiet... not the benifiet of the people as a whole. I'll consider it a working system the minute they stop referring to the people it is supposed to serve as "statistics".

Right now, America's approval rating with the rest of the world is very low. If we keep stepping over people's toes and flaunting our "power" like we've got the biggest penis, you might just get that Holocaust you say we're lucky not to have endured...

Don't get me wrong,I love America, the people of America, but I don't love the Government, but if I couldn't live in America...

Canada has a few things right, they got Health Care for EVERYONE!!! That's not a hard feat to accomplish, America could be in there shoes, helping to give back to the community instead of profit from it. They have certain areas were minor drugs are legal, something that America should have, except that there's too much money to be made by the people in power off of the drug industry.

Then there's Australlia, a land that was built on people who fell through the system. I'd love to live there, but for mor personal, natural reasons. There's still beauty left in this world, if you choose to go out and look for it. There's so much the media lacks to tell you inside of America that is common knowledge around the rest of the world. It's scary to see how ignorant we actually our to the world as a whole, but we as American's choose to confide in our country over our world.

There's a bigger picture to be seen here, but the majority can't see past their own backyard.

one thing i learned from school about things like this is vote, i think a lot more people should learn about presidential candidates since the people have the power to choose the president and make the right choice.

do you vote fridge?

^^^As hard as it might be for you to believe, there are other countries that have a higher standard of living then Amerika. There was a study not too long ago on this topic that I read (study happens every year) and I believe Amerika placed 11 or 12. I'm not about to go through all of the countries because I don't see the point, but I will say that Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland figured among the top countries on the list because of their high levels of education, democracy, income and public health.

Your right, we are lucky we weren't the jews or the Iraqi children (this is still continuing thanx to the good old U S of A) but at the same time we are UNlucky that we are amerikans living in amerika.

The above was directed at Tony206

Also,

Fridge is right. The people do not have the power to pick and choose the next president. I think this was proven last elections. It wasn't just in Florida where votes werent counted, MIT/Caltech released a study that showed between 4-6 million votes that should have been counted accross the country were thrown out.

i believe that for sure, thats why i asked fridge where he would want to live and why its better than america.

now the question is how do we get "their high levels of education, democracy, income and public health."?

yea the people didnt vote him in but if there was a bigger gap it would be harder to get throwout a lot of votes. i think we should have a voting system with "1 person 1 vote" and get rid of this electoral college bullshit


but I plan very much on voting in this next election
have you examined some of the candidates and their issues as of yet? if so are you leaning towards anybody yet?

we all know this conversation wasnt based on THE CHOICES we made that led us to the system, it was based on if the system in itself.....lol nice try taddy.
Are you mocking me! :mad: The main system i was talking about was social systems, not the court system. I cant even speak on what you were talking about any more in-depth, because ill step out of line.....damn it.

This is what you stated, "And...A "handfull" of rich people? Uh...hello? You consider over 2.7 million people to be a "handfull"?" || Just so there is no confusion... || 2,700,000 rich people. || 350,000,000+Americans. || Can you do the math?


Were you not here for the whole conversation or what? He said "1% of the population"; the last guess i had was 270 million, thus, 2.7 million rich people; had i known it was 350m, i would have said 3.7 million. IS THERE SOMETHING YOU DONT "GET"? Being ignorant doesn't win battles with me, friend. I am too patient.

What "noble task" are you doing to solve these problems? How the fuck can YOU solve problems if you are too blind to see them in the first place?
I might ask you the same question.

Currently i'm working towards a Bachelor's in Middle East Studies (Arabic) and a Minor in Journalism. And if you can put 2 and 2 together, this means i won't be reporting on 10 cent increases in lattes at Starbucks or Gary Locke's Christmas tree.....ill be right there in the front lines, where help is needed the most.

And you?

If they can pay the big bucks, their kids will have the best education possible, while the average Joe can only send their kids to a public-shit school, which is obviously inferior?
I went to public school and loved it. Now i'm getting grades in college equal to what private school kids might get.

All right, Taduo. Explain to me HOW we can fix the current health care problem. Explain to me HOW we can fix the current education problem. Explain to me HOW we can fix the police brutality problem. Explain to me HOW we can fix the unemployment problem. Explain to me how we can fix the poverty problem. Explain to me HOW we can fix the prison problem. Explain to me HOW we can fix the high violence problem. Since it is your "noble task" to solve these problems, please, inform us.
This right here is the punchline. Everything to you is a "problem", because you are a pessimist and a whiner. And that is why you will never even be party to fixing any of them.

plus...where does tadou live?? he has no idea about the system and how it DOESNT work for ALOT of people, it worked for him because he lives in the suburbs, is white, and probably has a comfortable life because he is not poor, hes speaking from true ignorance.
Actually, i'm brown skinned...fellah. But of course, you have to make the racist stereotype that just because i speak well, i am white.

Thanks...friend...thanks.

There are municipal and state elections all the time. Yet you act as though the presidental election is the only one that even counts, and that the man setting the budgets for your own got-damned local economy doesnt mean shit.

And the people DID vote this president in, friend...under the same system that Clinton and Bush Sr and Reagan were elected under: the electoral college.

By fixing our flawed system.
You sound like a tool. Where is your degree in social & health services? or Architecture? Or Political Science? Do you have one? Or are you working towards one? Or are you one of those 9-5 dudes who will complain for the rest of his life?
