[QUOTE="Sunfyre7896"][QUOTE="mattisgod01"]

The Debt isn't the real problem in the US just a clear symptom that people can point to. The problem is the massive gap between rich and poor. When the Top 400 Richest Americans have more Wealth then the Bottom 150,000,000 then maybe its time to consider spreading some of that wealth.

Yeah right. Like that's gonna happen. They're too worried about trying to save a buck by both outsourcing jobs and giving less for more (think smaller portions and cheaply made products here). Money makes this world go around and the U.S. is no different than any other nation. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. It's easier to just keep the status quo and pay off some politicians too so that the dough just keeps a rollin in. Some change needs to be made but I don't ever see it happening. In the meantime, people will just stand up the only way they can. . . . On the Gamespot forum. ;)

There are countries and places in this world where the gap between rich and poor is not getting wider. It actually keeps itself stable or even gets smaller with time. So a change is possible you just need the political will and the will of the people of course. But as long as americans defend their beloved version of "free market" I don't see that happening there.

dudebro free market works, and works awesome. Just wish some of my fellow americans would realize that the free market doesnt work in 100% of scenarios.

then again i dont know where you are from, but if your british.... enjoying paying the $90,000 a night or whatever it is for your stupid useless monarchy honeymoon?

I dont see why Americans should care about this. They have done a pretty good job at ignoring any flaws their government might have. Too much patriotism and nationalism are enemies of progress. They make people ignore critical flaws. In many ways, its similar to organized religion. They devote themselves to a specific group or place, without any reason other then being born at the particular place at that particular time.

Half-Way

lets not lump us all together, i consider myself a real american.... because i hate america, like a patriot.

Broken OFF? As in fully detached from the rest of your arm?

Yes. Having a vehicle roll on it tends to do that. ...I fought the pavement and the pavement won...though, to be fair, the pavement is undefeated

i actually beat the pavement in 04, so not entirely true.

...and?

the voice actor with down syndrome defended her performance and was proud of it... so unless you you think people with down syndrome arent intelligent enough to have opinions, you have no point.

Oh snap, suck that catch 22!

I know. That doesn't change my mind that it went too far. Just because I'm a black man that plays a black stereotype in a movie doesn't mean that it's all right.

What family guy did, is show everyone that people with down syndrome are intelligent and talented... we probably all had our thoughts of what people with down syndrome are like. But family guy showed us, that people with down syndrome are creative and talented people.... far more capable than most originally thought.

you might not agree with the method, but it raised awareness and ultimately was VERY beneficial for people with down syndrome as a whole.

EDIT: and if we all though black people were dumb (we did a long time ago), but a black individual gave a tremendous performance as an actor... even if he was reinforcing stereotypes. It would force people to reconsider their perceptions, and ultimately do good.

meh all my grandparents met very ignoble ends, i do not envy them. I think at age 70 we should all cage fight a grizzly bear... if you you lose, its a noble death. If you win, you instantly become the dictator of the world.

UltimoIce

I fully support this plan.

Let me know when you are going to begin this. I need to profit on it. I will start asap with the school of world dictatorship. From an early age I will train your kids everything they know to be a dictator, from world politics, to finances, to fighting a bear with your hands.

I will make millions.

well i think we have a grassroots movement right here, now we just need to elect me to the highest political office of every country so i can enact this policy.

Morbidly obese people aren't the cause of the healthcare crisis... That would be old people.

And the only way to fix that is to kill all old people.

and the problem is......?

Other than killing 30% of the population, no problem at all.

[QUOTE="tocool340"]You have a link to your claim? You sure its not just anyone talking garbage?...Genetic_Code
I'm sure you've heard of the show Family Guy, created by a liberal atheist. Well, one episode mocked a "former Alaska governor's" girl for having Down syndrome, a direct attack against Trig Palin. Here's a link.

Good, morbidly obese people are a drain on resources. Fix that first.
