Really....

This vast, deep Vj recollection of yours must be one reason you are part of the Vj Mod Squad!

or it's just proof i'm not senile yet.

[Sofiyya 1,687]

I've probably been married less often than you .

You have the option to leave also. I'm asking why you don't.

Because surely if you believe your own rhetoric, there is nothing that can be done about things.

I don't leave because I'm not a quitter nor a pessimist. You have a very dim view of things, which is probably why you aren't still in your own country, but here, ironically complaining about complaining. That's hypocritical on your part, in case you hadn't noticed.

This thread should serve as a warning for your spouse coz your rhethoric is about giving up easy. I'll bet if you haven't already been divorced at least once, you're well on the way to your first.

BTW, I've never been divorced.

Geez, that makes his whining even more pathetic.

Well that's your opinion, darling, and you're entitled to it!

It's a philosophical question. Maybe that is beyond your capacity? It's the same people here, day in and day out, complaining and complaining about US government; about illegals aliens in the US; about taxes; about paying for "losers" to get a handout; etcetera ad nauseum.

I don't think it is out of the realm of reality for these people to ask themselves why they stay in such a country if they have a choice of leaving it.

If you weren't here day after day reading threads that upset you, then you wouldn't have anything to complain about yourself. If you don't think it will get any better, practice what you preach. Leave. Quit. Do what's best for your psyche and find the peace you crave coz it must not be here. OT is not for wimps

What I see going on in the US today is folks not upset about their country, they're upset by some of the people in their country.

To truly effect change upon our country we're going to have to start holding people accountable for their own well-being, making them accountable for their actions, and ensuring their offspring develop into contributing members of society, not parasitic leeches much in the same way their parents - and I use that term loosely - were.

To end that cycle, WE have to work at it. Yes, we need to take out the trash on election day but it's going to take a lot more than simply voting for someone who has a lot of signs posted up. It's going to take personal involvement in grass-roots organizations, participation in community activities and, most importantly, it will take EFFORT from every single American.

I don't think we're going to see that happen. So, in the mean time, buy it cheap, stack it deep!

imagine that, people complaining about something our government is doing wrong. ah the beauty of the first amendment.

No, it's for narcissists, exhibitionists and those who can afford the time suck. Personally, I fit into at least two of those categories.

Where am I upset? Is there a post that sounds like I am upset?

I can't figure out if there is a reading comprehension problem here or maybe you just like the clickety-clack of the keyboard.

Pitiful if it is the latter. Is real life control of your environment so oblique that thumping away on Vj is where you look for "wimps" so you can kick some a$$?

Now try to stick to the topic. I know it's hard but you can do it if you try.

Actually it is the 1st Amendment that gives us a right to voice our opinions in an effort to make change. Some like you call it whinning but to each his own.

The topic created by you in itself shows you are angry regarding people excercising that 1st amendment right and you want them to shut up or get out!

At least Steve as wrong as he is on some subjects never tells people to shut up and get out. (atleast not what I have seen)

Thumping away here is a time sink for some like myself who must do hours of emails a day for his work; it is their time and it is itheir right to speak out it is also your right not to read or to respond in kind.

But you seem so sure of yourself that speaking out does not help when in fact it does no matter where the forum is; it brings on the individual thought process on both sides of an argument.

If you do not wish to to be around people that want to excercise 1st mendment rights we can provide you with plenty of countries for you to move to so you do not have to listen or read the so called whinning.

Good Luck and God Speed in your move

I can't understand why everyone doesn't move to Australia.

Their soccer team sucks.

Articulate but you couldn't quite resist the jib, could you?

Again. It's. A. Question.

A lot of hot air from you. You can't even handle the responses you solicit on your own thread that you started to complain about other people. I get it; you didn't expect anyone to complain about you, eh? That's how my reading comprehension got me off topic You're a bit thin skinned to be going on the attack, buddy. You may want to work on that, I mean, if you intend to stay in the USA and be exposed to free speech and other personal freedoms you resent.
