We hear oppressed voices crying out for justice & 15 laser-guided megatons of pure democracy. 
To those who will be available to greet your liberators: We will be semi-formally dressed, in sandstorm-yellow with matching earth tone & charcoal accessories.  Make sure to color-coordinate the wellcome parade accordingly.

We can't even wait we're so psyched,

-The Americans

The French have great musicians, but then they have that ultra-queer anti-gay faction embarrassing the nation on the scale of the US Westboro Baptist Church.

Wait, they're both queer and anti-gay?  Is this even possible?

Don't forget there are also enough pharmaceuticals in some places from waste run off to be PSYCHOACTIVE in humans even after treatment. Your tap water might include a free dose of zoloft with it.

I've not managed to get any coherent rationale as a response when asking about this "law". Many Americans feel outright panic when their children see a nipple, genitals, certain poses etc. Apparently they believe it conjures Satan or something
I think it goes like this:
If you see a nipple you will think of sex.
If you think of sex you will want to have sex.
Having sex before marriage is really bad. Sex is not for fun.
Seeing blood and violence doesn't make you think of sex.
That's good.

This is actually the most important point and will lead to the downfall of the system. Smiley

National comparisons aside, I think it is a very important point simply because it is so insane.

I've not managed to get any coherent rationale as a response when asking about this "law". Many Americans feel outright panic when their children see a nipple, genitals, certain poses etc. Apparently they believe it conjures Satan or something. Their children can be exposed to excessive violence, scares, immoral context and a multitude of other uncivilized influences without much hindrance, while viewing the human body is forcefully prevented. Anyone opposing this is labeled as a "pervert" and implicitly linked to rapists and whatnot. Children's bodies are considered so vile that they get filtered from information flow on the internet. Note that this is not the case if they've been blown to pieces by a grenade or so -- unless of course the result exposes their genitals.

I find it hard to expect rational behavior from people who accept such nonsense without question. This is a symptom of a real issue -- susceptibility to brainwashing -- and most certainly is relevant for system stability.

and ofc, British spies used PRISM data for domestic espionage, but nobody gives half a shit.
They hardly need the amateurish Prism system, when they can directly peak into more than 50% of the transatlantic communication.

Almost every country in the world with a population of >100,000 has a better collection of musicians than the US.

The French have great musicians, but then they have that ultra-queer anti-gay faction embarrassing the nation on the scale of the US Westboro Baptist Church.



Britain has some fine musicians, but then you have the totally apathetic street reaction to the recent public beheading. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=d0f_1369235265 (gore, beware) - and ofc, British spies used PRISM data for domestic espionage, but nobody gives half a shit. Oh... and they still have a fucking taxpayer-funded monarchy which sits around doing fuck-all... in 2013.

I'm gonna make a wild guess and say, it's the fluoride they're pumping into the water supply.  There must be a reason why a nation would enforce something on a national level, even when many of its citizens do not want it to happen; even when entire cities do not want it to happen and are forced anyway.  What's so absolutely vital about cleaner teeth that we must be forced to drink a toxin to obtain it?  It's one thing if businesses are just that lazy and want to save on costs, but why does the government feel the need to force-feed this stuff to us?  And why, then, is this so, when so many other nations have outlawed fluoride due to its toxic nature?

If it's not the fluoride, I'm at wits end as to why Americans are so laid back about all this.



Here's a map of how widespread fluoridation is per country.  If anyone living in the red countries, and anyone living in the no-fluoride countries, can attest this hypothesis--that is, if the Australians and New Zealanders here can tell us if their government is more corrupt, and the others if theirs is less so--then we might have something to go off with.

Of what little comparisons I can draw between America and New Zealand (from a time I was researching what it's like to live in different places), they both have a high amount of citizens who despise foreigners and have a tendency to blame their problems on them.  Just as well, both America and New Zealand have corrupt politicians, based off what I've heard various ex-pats and natives say.  All I know about Australia is that their borders aren't open to anyone who doesn't have a work visa or isn't married to a native (but I'm not too sure on this so don't take my word for it.)  I wouldn't doubt that Australia also has many corrupt politicians.

Poor to no education, religious sects like the catholics and protestants, all those acts "protecting" but in fact striping you of your rights without one even noticing, spying on their own citizens = 90% not giving a fuck, spying on other countries = 100% not giving a fuck, more wars in the last 60 years than the world combined in over 200, bombing countries back to the stone age, manipulating countries, overthrowing governments, no choice in elections, no boobies on tv etc. etc.
NSA, CIA, FBI, NRA, IRS and what have you not.
Its like frogs and boiling water, if you put them into boiled water they will immediately jump out, but if you increase the temperature gradually with the frog in it, it will be cooked.
