Shame, as I'd like to watch it!
Who said it was?From what I heard, it surely stands to reason, that the U.S. of A. is not finished yet. ...
A lot of people, have certainly insinuated as much, while some have come right out and said it. Feeling guilty?
Well you voted one president.Depending of course how much stock one places in the screenplays of Hollywood movies.
Will you stop with such assumptions, no it was you that voted for him, which is just as absurd.
And yet elsewhere you've argued that the whole human race would be responsible for the actions of a few?Actually I've always liked that actor.
But seriously, it's those currently in charge that are responsible, it could be heard in the statistics he referenced, if they in fact ring true, and without checking, I for one believe they do.
Hey you're the one that says you've been fighting such a thing for all these years, and look how far it's gotten you. Time for a reset at the hands of those that have allowed it to be the case, because if they didn't deserve it, it wouldn't be the case, now would it? Hypothetically, of course.

Re: Why the USA isn't the greatest nation on Earth
OK, you have been generous with me on a few occasions, or at least you've tolerated my words. And I've loved you every time it's been the case, only because I love it when a woman is sweet to me. Or as sweet as she can be, in some cases.vegetariantaxidermy wrote:Not true. I'm also generous with praise too when I think it's warranted.SpheresOfBalance wrote:
One thing is very apparent, and that is that you're much like Bob, in that you just love to fight, even if it is with windmills.

Just using 'you' for America, I assume you are American? Still, America voted a Hollywood actor for President so Hollywood appears to be no hold-back and most likely a bonus in such a media-driven culture.Will you stop with such assumptions, no it was you that voted for him, which is just as absurd.
Nope, I've said I've protested in the past and in one instance it worked and the rest don't seem to have made much difference but then I wasn't that naive to think it might, I protest to express my feelings about something, if enough agree then things change but if they don't then then don't, that's democracy for you.Hey you're the one that says you've been fighting such a thing for all these years, and look how far it's gotten you. ...

So you don't like movies, yet you use one to make your point, yet it was fictional, making your point what, yet you could care less either way? Or how else should I understand Meh!

You tell me!

Kinda, depending how one defines one.

Well I didn't vote for any actor for president. So your point failed. At least from my perspective.

Seemingly not much real caring there, so one would wonder why you might spend the time in the first place. Just to pass the time, heh?
So what will you be doing about it?Time for a reset at the hands of those that have allowed it to be the case, because if they didn't deserve it, it wouldn't be the case, now would it? Hypothetically, of course.
Watching as it may or may not happen, but to do anything means I must have my hands in it, and I really don't want any part of it. What would you think I should do, since you seemingly believe I should, or so you've said as much in the past, waving your flag of attempted doings, apathetically it would seem? So???
