My 10 reasons to leave America
My 10 reasons to leave America
This has been going viral lately on my little blog. I've been getting a lot of hate mail because of it, but I think the folks on HA could relate better than anyone. Below is the link, but i'll summarize the ten problems also:
http://cyruskirkpatrick.com/10-reasons- ... e-america/
10 - The Food is Garbage
9 - The Infrastructure is Falling Apart
8 - The Architecture is Hideously Boring
7 - Thug Culture is a Thing
6 - Americans Are Anti-Social, Lonely and Depressed
5 - The Family Unit is Broken
4 - Americans, Blined by Dumb Patriotism, Won't Face Their Problems
3 - Shallow Attitudes Rule the Day
2 - The U.S. is Becoming a Police State
1 - Americans Are Slaves to Debt
How I see it: Most of America's problems stem from blind "winner takes all" business mentalities that, while they helped turn the U.S. into an economic powerhouse, ultimately destroyed the social fabric of the country.
Many of these cultural problems I do not find living in Europe.

Re: My 10 reasons to leave America
Solid list. Do you find any except number five in Europe?
Re: My 10 reasons to leave America
One of the best articles linked from this site that I have read. Spot on, especially from numbers 5 down to 1. Of course, America is a big place, different regions suffer from this more than others, but on the whole, this is quite refreshing. I found both China and Japan to be more community oriented than the US, although some of the larger cities in China are starting to adopt that same "winner take all" mentality. I look forward to more from this author.

Re: My 10 reasons to leave America
Especially when they are to dumb to figure out the founding documents are America, the first 12 and that it went bankrupt in 1933 and the British Empire has been running it since then.Ghost wrote:#4 is really the one that the others spawn from. And that's the same with any country. If the culture isn't sound, people will ignore problems and that let's things get worse.

Re: My 10 reasons to leave America
The thing people need to understand is when you say winner take all mentality what are you referring too ? The power elite of the world went through pain stakenly efforts to program you to believe their money system is the only viable option to run a society and for morons it is!Cyrus wrote:This has been going viral lately on my little blog.

All this wealth transfer to the top has been made possible by not tying the economic system to something real that is regulated by the masses that rewards the actual producers. This is what was intended by the founders of the country America I believe.
You see communism socialism has been marketed by the people who practice this fraudulent financial system as being a benefit for the masses when in reality it's about a small minority owning and controlling it all., hence " Winner Take All ".

Re: My 10 reasons to leave America
Great list. I remember seeing it years ago, meaning to reply, but forgot. I have a few more to add:
1 - Constant pandering/overcatering to minorities, welfare recipients, fringe groups, and illegals at the expense of the working majority. I pay taxes, work hard, don't commit crimes yet I feel like I get short end of the stick and need to bankroll the leech class.
2 - Cost of living. Anyone who says is America is cheap is on crack. When I add up my federal + state + medicare/SS + property + sales taxes, it's **a lot** of f***ing tax. Health insurance premiums and deductibles are insanely high. Last year I needed to get some minor electrical fixes for my house - the electrician charged $120 just to come out!
3 - Racial issues. I f***ing hate how large of a role race plays in the US and how everyone from politicians to social justice warriors needs to grab a piece of the "you're a racist" pie. It's a distraction, waste of time and only serves to maintain unrest (which politicians want). This is a total non issue in most Asian countries.
