Arrow Are Americans under a spell?

America was founded with wisdom and insight into the carachter of those who immagrated to it. Our founders led the people with the promises of freedom and rights. And we were granted that. Somehow though, through the workings of evil men, things became terribly corrupt, and quickly.

What evil you may ask? Well if you look at the way our voting system is set up, for instance, it was not believed that the "common"(?) man knew whom to vote for in the first place. So over the years we have never really decided who went into office. This was and is always decided by someone else as we all saw in our faces at the end of the 2000 elections. So we have been lied to about that from the beginning. Lies to the masses started right away. Although we are aware of things the real decisions were made by puppet presidents.

Go ahead and study your history. The early 1900's are full of scandals involving powerful rich men and our government. Was our government taken over by powerful evil men? Was it bought by big business? The answer to both of these questions is yes it was.


So now we have king George in the Whitehouse declaring that he is above the law. And we are being invaded in our homes. By 2010 America will be united with Canada and Mexico. I never heard about this until recently, or any of the other shit that is coming out! But it is happening. And by 2012 there are plans to have bio chips inserted into every newborn. Bad news. What do you think?

If you're talking about the spell of money, then I guess you could say you're right on the dot. This is a time where false happiness has taken over many lives, I think anyway. People cling to anything that gives appeal, and the most universally appealing thing is, money. Oh what to do, what to do... there's always something to do.

Lately people think giving up civil liberties is alright as long as we're protected more. What evil could be so great and widespread that we give the government the right to tap our phones and arrest us because there may be a chance we're a terrorist. Give me that chance to be blown up any day, I want my liberties.

if you believe the nations 'fathers' ever actually understood or cared about things like 'all men are created equal' you must be high lol

these are the very same people who found nothing wrong with child labor low literacy rates and slavery

they found their cornerstone of lifes game used people to profit and at some point got comfortable enough to be honored in historys pages

that alone should show you political parties (religious groups as well) are out for their own not the public

so this freedom everyone speaks of isn't real you're still bound by the law of the masses no matter how stupid it may be

I want mine too. It seems that the terrorists are only an excuse. How come we haven't impeached this guy? Are we under a drug induced haze. Aren' most Americans on some kind of psychoactive drug. And what about the trend we've taken towards heroin and prescription drug abuse? Lortab and Xanax cocktails are prescribed commonly by doctors all over th U.S.? There is sufficient evidence to prove that the C.I.A. and the D.E.A. have been involved in drug trafficking for a long time.

Conspiracy to demoralize us through immorality in our papers and news, to be followed by more immorality at schools and workplaces. These are devices used to set up communistic regimes for centurys. These are evil devices. And with technology and science booming mind control could now be possible. Will the terrorists and the identity thefts, amd the missing children cause us all to welcome a bio chip implant. What about all the lies and corruption? Should we trust them?

I know. We better believe in a spirit world out here. They do and man are they using it. But even if you don't, man do they hate us. The supreme court dictates the masses.

For one, to many Americans are more concerned with themselves and their lives to think to look at the state of the world.

Secondly, materialistically speaking, a lot of Americans are happy, in debt, but happy.


I firmly believe my generation will be one to bring change, then again maybe ever generation feels like that, then doesn't do anything.

very true

this coupled with coddling of gen y will make for at least 3 more before change happens across the board

granted the best & brighest of gen y have done amazing things in every country as have older baby boomer era adults an so on

the problem doesn't lie within gen y's balls or brains it's the parents of the baby boomers and the boomers themselves that have stopped progress

you notice the cartoons slowly get dumber safer less realistic

once batman could beat ass and kill someone in a comic or even in animation now his villians can't even use the word death

tellitubbies is booming as are lazy town (albeit the better of the bunch) and other stupid ass kid shows that promote one thing...stupidity and flock like following be it of colors and numbers or rules and laws

the people who grew up to be great thinkers had bb guns cussed had day dreams not fucking playdates and soccer practice

the thinkers are getting snuffed out so all you gen y pot smoking hippies...start fucking!

of course...

But America hasn't changed much, imo. It has never wholeheartedly exemplified the ideals which it pretended to be founded on.

Many of the founding fathers were douchebags of the highest degree in many ways, Jefferson, for example had all these great poetic ideas and at the same time can be quoted:

"I advance it therefore as a suspicion only, that the blacks, whether originally a distinct race, or made distinct by time and circumstance, are inferior to the whites in the endowments of body and mind." [Notes on Virginia, Query XIV, From The Life and Selected Writings of Thomas Jefferson, p. 262 Excerpts]

and George W. (washington that is):

"They (the Jews) work more effectively against us than the enemy's armies. They are a hundred times more dangerous to our liberties and the great cause we are engaged in. It is much to be lamented that each state, long ago, has not hunted them down as pests to society and the greatest enemies we have to the happiness of America." [Maxims of George Washington by A.A. Appleton & Co. ]

I mean it's a double edged sword I guess. But we were never meant to achieve these lofty goals of freedom and equality and such they're just abstract ideas that were supposed to point us in the right direction...

Race plays an important role in the upset of the nation. To the leaders poor, uneducated, and Christian are enough to hold a bias against anyone. Regardless of what you think. The government has hatred for everyone, regardless of race. Race is only a device.
