How many threads are we turning sour as of recently…?
Man… A whole lot of hostility… Here you go… For everyone that wants some honest opinions and some factual information on everything…
The only reason we get dubbed as a highly cruel and “violent” nation is because we medialize everything. You don’t here about the killings of South Africa do you? Or how about Brazil?! Nope… Because they aren’t a heavily mediatized nation. They don’t have millions of nbews trucks and millions of nosey assed reporters going around capturing everything on camera and giving everyone the story…
I foremost blame the media for the reasoning on at least 80% of America’s depression. There are very few times that you can watch the news and actually shed a smile on your face or even laugh. You typically get to see how sucky everything is doing… And it’s very true about human nature. You go to work and do a great job, you’ll get a pat on the back and a congratulations but the moment you screw up… Your deemed the biggest loser in the world and are now crapped back to the begining.
Theoretically, nobody from Europe can even remotely remark upon an American for being the way we he / she is because we derived from Europe to begin with… And from what I remember, we were escaping a tyranny begun by the king and the church of the time being.
As for guns, I’ve always questioned what the crime would be like if we didn’t have guns. But ask this question… How many nations out there would even want to try and invade America?! I can almost guarantee to you that no nation out there is stupid enough to invade America by land. Because every one of us will be standing there holding guns. Men and Women both, defending our country and not running away. Yeah, there are some loonies out there who shouldn’t be holding a gun in the first place, but it is not for us to decide on limiting the life of a person as none of us are any superior than any other human in this world.
We are all bound by the things that make us the worst animals upon this earth. Greed, seduction and power feed our minds as an antelope would feed a lion’s stomach. No single nation is better than any oher nation because it is still run by these rules and as long as a human being runs that nation, that nation will be run with the same greed, rage, seduction and power that the human feels.
Little do we talk about love or friendship anymore and more and more and day by day we are succoming to nothing but hate and hatred. When was the last time you told someone that they looked beautiful or have given your friend a hug and thanked him for something? When was the last time you spent time to just relax and stare at something nice, like the stars? or the last time you told someone close to you how you feel?
I blame our own nature as a human being for the cause of all our problems, but alas… No human can change and be totally perfect… So therefore we will always have fighting and killing…
And oh… Another one of our beloved traits as human beings… Also somewhat found in the animal kingdom as well…
Competition…
Think about it.
