SOPA, PIPA, CISPA, ACTA, TPP and ITU.

Ronald Reagan was one of the worst presidents to have ever set foot on the soil of our nation. I don't think you understand what socialism is.

Yeah, we're fucked.

When it gets to the point that's it's not even Republican vs. Democrat anymore, and they're clearly both becoming equally insane, when it gets to the point where the crazy anti-government radio talk show nut jobs actually start making good points based on things we've seen lately with Snowden, internet privacy, cops being more criminal than criminal and the like, when there's no more moderate or compromising political views, when journalism with integrity is basically nonexistent ... yeah, we're fucked.

But am I going to complain any more about it? Nah.

Okay maybe just a little.

Heck, a majority of my friends are turning to Anarchy and "V" *hint hint* since the government is so corrupt.

I'm not that far gone, I'm not gonna be one of those "man the governments gonna get you put on this foil hat" type people, but lately I'm definitely seeing reasons to not trust my government, no matter the political alignment.

Long Duck Dong · August 20, 2013, 06:34:57 PM

I'm not one of those guys either. I really could care less either way. Besides, I'm moving here soon so Amerika will be in die past

Are your friends 13?

&&&&&&&&&&&&& · August 20, 2013, 08:45:25 PM

I'm 13. Look at my profile.

Profiles never lie.

Long Duck Dong · August 20, 2013, 09:08:48 PM

@JesusChrist: Negative. Most of my friends, if any, are from an age range of 17-25.

That article actually brings up some really good points.

It's kinda like Modern Algebra said, way earlier on in this thread. We don't pay attention to the good stuff anymore.

I actually have to agree. If only Douglas Adams were to rewrite this and sell it so people could understand in a more "comic relief" way.

*Ahem*

1) Commoners tend to understand Adams less than other writers.
b) It's Cracked. It's already "humourous".
3) Douglas Adams died 12 years ago.
d) That ain't Dougie's style.
5) who are you even
§) ... whatever.
