[u]People complaining about the NSA spying on people and Snowden[/u]: That's their job. They spy on people. The only "shocking" news is that they've been spying on American people also. Why is Snowden considered a hero for leaking things like: "NSA spying on other nations" when that's what they're supposed to be doing? We wouldn't get mad if they were spying on Iran, but we'd lose our shit if they spy on Germany?! I get it you're mad, people can blackmail you now because of your porn choices...surely you jest. [u]Syria:[/u] It's utterly horrifying that we stopped covering Syria the moment Assad gave up his chemical weapons. We thought is was a "victory". He'll just continue bombing his people with other kinds of bombs. The people there are suffering from POLIO! I thought that shit was a thing in the '80s! Now nobody is going to accept refugees because every moron who listened to Jenny McArthy are going to -blam!-ing die lol. [u]Corporations Ruling America and War[/u]: America has always been about the money. Why did we rebel and fight the British? Taxation with out representation. When did the British actually get mad at us? When we -blam!-ed with their cashcrop, tea. We always sold weapons to both sides in every -blam!-ing war until somebody turned a gun our direction. Japan got mad that we kept -blam!-ing with their trading system during the war, so they wrecked Pearl Harbor; Pearl Harbor was an act of retaliation. Then we liberated the Jews, not the gays, from the concentration camps because something something...assets something something...they're the ones with the wealth. There's money and assets to be gained through war! I bet you, the next time we fight a war it will have to do with Iran/Saudi Arabia screwing with our oil imports. [u]Not helping out the people in Africa[/u]: Why aren't we helping out the people of Africa? Because the truth is society there is too unstable and under educated to be able to help them. If we give them supplies, the people have to pay the officials bribe money to receive them. The problem is we sold them guns before we gave them proper medical care. We have to let them sort it out on their own because every charity that is collecting money is obviously doing nothing but scamming the sympathetic 1st world citizens...which brings me to my next point... [u]Charities legally able to to keep 99%[/u] Why is it that the CEO of the Goodwill make [url=http://www.goodwill.org/?p=17257]2 million a year?![/url] Why is it that the CEO of the American Red Cross make a million bucks a year? Why is a charity...profitable? The bullshit is stinking up the place... [u]College and it's "Importance"[/u]: This deserves it's own thread but hey...I'm on a roll why stop now? College has lost it's initial vision. It's now a buffer to keep the impoverished poor, the rich in their upper echelons, and middle class to continuously struggle while paying for the poor and being used as the fuel to keep the rich on their thrones. The only way to make it to the top is getting through this barrier. Why is it that a student who has taken half of his engineering courses, and flunks out because of a thermodynamics class considered useless in the workforce? He didn't get his degree, so now he's only allowed to get a job any high school grad could've gotten? -blam!- that. I guess I'm gonna have to go 5 figures into debt or invent the next best thing before I can be anybody! (brb inventing the next social media) All the while the CEO's son inherits a position into his mom or pop's company and learns how to do his job based on the lessons his parents teach him! The way it used to be. If you wanted to work somewhere a company would train their employees to do a job, now we must train ourselves with our own money so we can do work [i]for somebody else to profit off of.[/i] What a world we live in. At least the serfs, knights, and blacksmiths would sponsor their training before the King profited off you! Now the banks make a killing off of you whether you get a degree or not! tl;dr:[spoiler] ~NSA is doing their job, snowden isn't a hero. blame Obama...and Reagan (seriously google it) ~Syria is lost, and nobody gives a shit. We'll start "caring" once a Syrian "terrorist" seeks vengeance. ~Corporations/Money ruling America has been our priority since the founding of the country. Stop acting surprised. We start wars only for economical reasons. ~Africa has to sort it's own shit out, stop making it seem like everybody elses problem. ~Charities shouldn't be profitable, I mean it's common sense right?! ~College is just money making scheme for banks.[/spoiler] And no I'm not trolling, I'll discuss my points with you if you'd like.
