The most honest three and a half minutes of television, EVER...

[Video Rating: 4 / 5[/random]
America is a continent, the US is a country. #kthxbye
ReplyDeleteTIME TO IMPRISON THE EVIL BUSH CABAL - WE KNOW WHO THEY ALL ARE! HIS FATHER PRESCOTT FUNDED THE NAZIS THAT RUN THE SHOW FROM THE SHADOWS TODAY, ALL FOR THE NWO.
ReplyDeleteWhat if instead of trying to get more, we give more of ourselves. Help your co-worker complete a job if you are caught up. Try to work at your job like it belongs to you. Hold doors open for people. If someone looks like they need help, HELP. Try to treat everyone you like they're your friend. Treat the members of your whole family like you love them, not someone you take for granted. Respect peoples differences instead of hating them. If everyone did these things the USA could be great again.
ReplyDeleteTo the people suggesting that America turned their eyes from God and thats the reason for its decline: You should look at theocratic nations throughout history, every single one of them which has put "their eyes on God" has perished in ignorance, there isn't a single exception. And that is every God throughout history, in any context. Trying to get your problems solved by a deity has proven time and again to be the quickest path to a nation´s demise. Its nothing but superstition.
ReplyDeleteAmerica couldn't have become what it is without the economic model available through slavery which was a role filled by Blacks. You can't get more of an invitation than to be forcefully brought somewhere. Russia didn't do that, consequently they don't have a significant Black population. If a country is to remain homogeneous then it can do so. If you think you should be able to snap your fingers to make diversity appear and disappear whenever you feel like it; think again.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't like our country, get out :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think my idea is correct, I think that of all the given ones it makes most sense but I'm willing to accept another idea if it makes sense...
ReplyDeleteAgain, this goes back to the whole "uncaused first cause" deal. I've seen people kill each other over that argument. In the idea of Christianity, it makes sense, but obviously many people need more than just that, and since they reject the idea of a deity, the idea sounds ludicrous. I can give you hundreds of different ideas, but you will stick to yours and I will stick to mine. Both of us will think our respective ideas are the correct ones. Plenty of people think God led us through evolution.
ReplyDeleteI assume you're american? In that case then we founded your country and we funded a lot of it.
ReplyDeleteunless you compeltely disregard the "seven days of creaton" there is no way that genesis and evolution are both true. genesis doesn't expalin how the world was truly made, just how people thought it would be cool to be made.
ReplyDeleteGenesis doesn't have to be false, only the interpretation of the "seven days." My faith isn't blind; I know what I believe and how ridiculous it may sound to some but I stick by it because there is some sound philosophy behind it. However, I never object to listening to others. So the universe is infinite, but isn't God (by definition) also infinite?
ReplyDeleteAlso, a debate is not just an argument, but a chance to inform others, so instead of insulting me, why not do the decent thing and simply tell me.
It's too late.
ReplyDeleteEvolution directly contradicts genisis, so either you admit genisis is false, your you think evolution is. There is no flood argument. There is blind faith on one side, there is science on the other. I can't explain quantum physics to you in a youtube comment. There doesn't need to be a "first cause" in that sense, time doesn't work that way. I won't debate someone who won't educate themselves on what theyre debating. Besides, even if science hasn't explained something yet, doesn't mean it can't
ReplyDeleteYou're insane and dellusional if you think the US healthe care system is actually a good one.
ReplyDeleteFirst off, I never said evolution was false. And I've heard both sides of the flood argument. I'm sorry, but my busy schedule doesn't allow me to watch that long video, but I do welcome new arguments (I'm a bit more open-minded than most). I know that "nothing" is always something, but in what we perceive as reality, there had to be a first cause. That's just simple logic. But time, an idea, also had to have a beginning, no? Not just the idea (how we measure time), but whatever time is.
ReplyDeleteNope.
ReplyDeleteYou clearly watch too many michael moore movies.
The US infant mortality myth is...well...a myth. Just google it.
And i didn't say the US has the best cancer and heart attack survival rates for the rich, i said overall. Meaning ALL Americans have the best survivability.
Just google "Britain, the sick man of Europe: Heart and cancer survival rates" and scroll down to the list of countries to see where the US ranks.
So you're saying poor people don't get cancer? BWAHAHAHAAHA.
By asking how to make America great again? this in itself is part of the problem. It's not about ones greatness, this is a blinkered, selfish awareness, a by product of the capitalist free market. We have to drop this obsession and focus on the global issues and the poverty this system has created. For the planet to survive, all life forms that support it must reach a harmonious balance. Our own bodies would fail if our cells battled with each other.
ReplyDeleteThe richest people in the US have great medical care. The poorest have terrible medical care - hence the high infant mortality rate. Poor people don't survive long enough to get cancer.
ReplyDeleteFor it's poor standard in overall terms, the US has the most expensive medical care in the world, to deliver very average to poor results over all.
this is so good
ReplyDeletemaybe fighting it out over who is "the greatest" is what creates all your fucking problems in the first place. look after you people and the world will respect you.
ReplyDeleteYou also have the highest rates of heart attacks and cancers.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you think military is the indicator of country's greatness is enough to say that you are a waste of organic material.
How many countries have you been to that you dare to talk about how things are in them?
The video doesn't mention that USA is also the most obese country.
ReplyDeleteBut what I've always loved about this is that an average American couldn't care the fuck less about the world around them, doesn't even know about the existence of some European countries, let alone went to visit them. Yet they have the incredible arrogance to go ahead and talk about how America is the greatest simply because they were told so and are even taught so. Less praying, more studying.
I had a GREAT family holiday in the US 2yrs ago!
ReplyDeleteSadly, it was marred on the last day by my beautiful wife & 14YO daughter being hog-tied, gagged & held hostage by our guide, Mr Sillecenzo. He taunted me for several hours about how "this lovely fresh meat will fetch a good price at market", gently stroking their faces & hair as they wept in terror.
They were both sold into slavery & I haven't seen or heard from them since. A degrading, horrible end to two wonderful lives :(
First of all, the US has the best medical care in the world. We have the highest survavibility rates for cancers AND heart attacks.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that we have the strongest military, and police the world should be enough to say we're the greatest.
Yes, the entire world has been Americanized. Coca cola, mcdonalds, movies, tv shows, the list goes on and on.
And the US has THE best freedom. You can say what you want without being chastised by the government.
lolwut?
