Americans are becoming more and more LAZY by the day

[daneblazer]

Human beings are hard wired to take short cuts. Americans have just gotten really good at it. As someone who works with college kids, I can attest that every year is worse. The newer generation is definitely the "now generation" and many feel like they're entitled.

Bro, do u have any sort of clue as to how our presidents are elected? Do you still think that our votes matter and that our next president hasn't been decided yet?

Who decides then? You think it was decided by an entity to elect Bush to two terms and Obama twice?

Everyone of some of you think it's a conspiracy theory that our presidents are manipulated into office by an illuminati. Guess what, YOU are the illuminati. Get your asses registered and vote. Not just the big one, everything!

It's your right to vote, write your representative and or protest. Sure, the people who you vote for sometimes
won't win and it's frustrating, but that comes with the territory. No worse than losing a bet.

Doing nothing, get's nothing done. You get what you get if you don't participate.

Is it really any of your business what other people eat? Because u think you're eating healthy doesn't mean it's good for others. What I eat is nobody's business.

She can eat dik for all I care. The point of the thread is why Americans are Fat. Well... get a hold of yourself... No need for that coffin to weigh an extra 500 lbs when they put you under.

and that our next president hasn't been decided yet?

Newsflash: our next president hasn't been decided yet. Please don't insist he (or she) has because there are too many fookin' idiots on this board already.

by not voting you are still making your voice heard aren't you?

An educated voter deciding not to vote as opposed to an uneducated voter who was told you should vote and does. Who's worse? Or who's better?

Guys, give this a read. If you still think we are really on different sides, lmk. We are all fukked the same by our leaders.

It's sad that people are still under the illusion that they can make a difference by voting.

[scumbag]

it's sad that discouraged idiots like you think that voting can't solve anything. although... it's a step up from your previous position: voting for some tea party, koch-shill because he keeps saying "freedom".

If voting could change anything it would be illegal

[scumbag]

If voting could change anything it would be illegal

so the people who elected FDR didn't affect change?

how about the working-class who voted for reagan? they affected change... against their own interests.

voting can change things; it's all about the candidate. democracy works; sadly the fascists among us want you to think it doesn't.

I have no idea. I read it on a bumper sticker.

No. By not voting, you are leaving those who do, the means to control those that don't.

IE mid term elections.

There was a lack of voters, because I guess there was no hoopla. Now we are controlled by the Repubs.
Might not be a big deal now, but if we get a Repub Pres, we are fukked.

[DwightShrute]

. Now we are controlled by the Repubs.
.

that's a good thing.

Its gotten to the point where people aren't voting for a good candidate but rather against someone.

Its like no one bothers to attend any home games of your local team anymore except when the most hated team comes to town.

Not voting is your right and still sends a message.

[sourtwist]

Dwight, the voice of reason can only be heard by a few, and the masses will lead themselves into a blind slaughter while bringing their family and friends, and even us simply because we are outnumbered by stupidity and ignorance.

So you guys think doing nothing and not worrying about who's controlling you, things will change?

Hey, if you got something better than voting, I'm all ears boys, lay it on me.

[ByeShea]

Newsflash, yes it has.

Yeah? Who is it?

[gauchojake]

Yeah? Who is it?

It's one of the Koch brothers

Day after the election that clown is gonna go ... SEE. IT'S FIXED.

I am only saying is voting is up to you and if you choose not to, you are still making a statement the same as someone voting is.

Its one of those things in life where you understand even though you wouldn't do it. Kinda like being a Dallas Cowboys fan. I know several. I have known them for years. I like hanging out with them watching the games. But I would never fukking be caught dead wearing a Cowboys jersey and would rather cut off one of my fingers than to cheer for them to win a game. But yet I understand there are fans of the team.

Personally, whenever I was eligible to vote, I would.

Haha, you beat me to posting that for the same reason

Folks who voted for FDR were desperate to do anything they thought would fix what they saw as the problem. Unfortunately, all these years later when everyone has access to the information to know better, the overwhelming majority are still trying to double down on his failed policies, trying to believe everything will be OK if they just legislate hard enough

Is it really any of your business what other people eat? Because u think you're eating healthy doesn't mean it's good for others. What I eat is nobody's business.

The best part is you think you have something figured out

You're too entangled in your own narcissm and ignorance to stepback and realize you're standing out in left field with a few other loonies.

But as they say, ignorance is bliss and as long as you're happy, who am I to question how you get there.

[scumbag]

trying to double down on his failed policies

newsflash: fdr rates as one of the greatest presidents ever. his "failed policies" ushered in the greatest era of shared prosperity the world has ever known.

You're not as smart as you give yourself credit for.

My post you quoted is the truth, and nobody's business.

I don't know what's better, the original post or the comments after.

Good piece.

Curious your thoughts on the "American Dream" and the lack there of ..."means to an end"

Maybe I'm missing something, but sour asked a pretty valid question here, and you seem to have ducked it entirely to just attack him?

Pro tip: widespread short-term approval doesn't make something correct, in the short or long term....despite the ease of access to information, people choose to remain ignorant (as in lacking basic knowledge, not the pejorative often used by people to describe a person whose viewpoint they can't be bothered to consider). The "greatest era of prosperity" is a misnomer; it almost certainly would have been greater with less government interference, both pre-crisis (which caused the depression by all accounts) and post. The current economic situation, where decades of advancement have failed to overcome the unsustainable policies of FDR and his successors, can't be laid all at this feet...but he was a huge catalyst for transforming us from a nation of citizens who took responsibility for their own welfare and preferred to control their own destiny, to a nation who was willing to believe any lie, no matter how ridiculous, so long as it got us a slice of plundered goods.
