USA's Got a few Probs

This isn't a country-hating, flag-burning rant of teen angst. This is my explanation of what's up with the USA.

Let's start with the schools. Due to the international and domestic intellect competitions, schools have had to become more focused on cramming knowledge in our heads than making learining a fun process. Once kids get out of school, they have no desire to learn, so they only get stupider as they forget what they learned. The outcome has been that schools have seen the solution to be to cram more stuff for us to forget into our heads. This means that kids have harder courses, less free time, no recess. No fifth grader should ever think that he's stupid becuase he doesn't know how to spell onamonapia, or however you spell that. Standardized testing has become overwhelimingly oppresive at all levels. School, contrary to many teachers' beliefs, is not just somewhere to learn, it is a place for social development. If we don't learn to communicate and live with people in school, when will we? Gone are the days where a kid had reccess, and learned to enjoy playing Which leads me to weight. Since no one ever learns to enjoy physical activity (remember middle school PE anyone?) why would they ever do it? If no one likes to move, no one will. If they aren't moving, they're being lazy bums. Lazy makes more lazy, so houses and offices fall into disrepair because no one moves to clean them. Kids learn to entertain themselves by sitting at the computer, or in front of the TV instead of by swimming or exploring or anything that requires more than a thumb movement.

While these people are sitting in front of Youtube or the boob tube, they are exposed to some very extreme views on the news, blogs, and on strange Myspace bullitens. These views shift people's views to the point that they are diehard supporters of views on blogs that have no credibility. Then they go to the social settings they never learned to deal with, and argue and fight over these views.

Get a bucket. Politicians. Just the word makes you wanna throw up, right?
Politicians say that monetary fundraisers and donations are a political reality. Government, like most other human creations, dosen't work in reality. It only works in an ideological situation. Thus politicians need to be exposed only to the realitites they need to fix, and the idealism of what they are doing. They are in charge a country of hundereds of millions of people. They need to back off of the realities of getting elected, and into the ideals of what they are going to accomplish once they win. If that's enough, they'll get in. Once they're in, they shouldn't totally change their position. That's exactly what the country hates: slimy, lying, shifty politicians.

People can't whine if they don't participate. That's like saying that it's so unfair to Salvation Army that they aren't getting any donations, and then throwing everything away. HYPOCRITES!!! Even hypocrites hate hypocrits, which is really hypocritical of them. If you don't like how the government is going, vote for the people you think cold make it better.

People have become so obsessed with others. Others like Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Eminem. Who cares who was cheating on who? Its their private life. If they have sex in Central Park, that's public. Don't do crap like that in public. Why do we send helicopters to watch a wedding? It probabaly messed everyone's hair up and ruined the reception. Great, you ruined the greatest moment of their lives.

What the f**k is wrong with being gay? If a gay person's hitting on you, go ahead, insult them. Otherwise, what's gonna happen because the two guys next to you on the plane are kissing? They probably think its strange when you and you're boy/girl friend start holding hands. Is your arm gonna fall off because two chicks in California got married? If so, you need to see a doctor about that.

Human beings screw everything up. Religion, government, social systems. Everything works in an idealistic situation. Then the reality of the human race, and specifically it's scum come and mess it up.I eagerly await your arguments, compiments, and miscellanous comments.
