My rant on America
Posted: June 4th, 2013, 12:10 pm
I'm just going to list a couple of things that urk me a lot about this country. I'm not trying to write a book or anything, but feel free to add on and continue on my rant. I want as many opinions as possible.
1) I absolutely can't stand most of the people here. Everybody here is materialistic and drinking some type of kool aid depending on where you are at. Everybody dresses, acts, and jacks off the same. I thought going to NYC would be more of a diverse change from my republican college town, but everybody still wore and acted the same way up there. People are also very close minded and insecure here. A person could just see you walking down the street and decide from then and there that they hate you because of what type of shoes you were wearing or you looked liked a democrat or some other stupid shit.
2) It's really hard to make new friends here. People don't want to branch out of their high school clique regardless of if they like the people in the group or not. I go to a big uni and pretty much everybody still hangs out with their high school clique or fraternity/sorority associates. Even in my fraternity, there are cliques within. I have plenty of friends that I hang out with, but it seems like I'm the only one that wants to expand my horizon.
4) You have to keep your tongue tied with most people here. People here can't take any opposition or just anything lol. You have to be around the right people to express your opinions. All people here want to do is hear what they want to hear and sit around the camp fire and drink the same color of kool aid. For example, I was discussing the civil war with this confederate minded individual. I was just listening and I knew not to bring up any references of slavery. Well I eventually did and from then on he told me he was never going to talk to me again and ended the conversation. It would not have mattered what evidence or facts I would have presented to him, but the conversation was simply over to him. This is how it is with most topics with americans. What is worse is that they do not have any issues of flaunting and forcing their own views on you. Hypocrites lolz
3) Americans like to cling to the past and not the future. America is so far behind progressively because of this mindset. Everybody here thinks some 200 year old piece of paper and an ancient book is still relevant and should still decide some of the laws of today. People here also like to wave and flaunt the confederate flag. I even know a guy that said Jefferson Davis was his favorite US President. I would like to add that these are upper middle class college students doing this, I'm not even talking about the older people and I do not want to right now lol. Everything is clinging to old ways for these people. Another huge example is the education system. We still have a gilded age type of education system running through this country and we're starting to hurt for it.
4) Some of the laws here are ridiculous. For instance, the drinking age law is ridiculous. How does turning an imaginary number magically make me responsible enough to buy a beer. I also went on a vacation with my friend and weren't legally allowed to rent a hotel because we weren't 21. I can vote for our leaders, serve and die for this country, and purchase a firearm, but I can't rent a hotel room. Also the laws against gay marriages are asinine. It they are a happy couple than I don't see why you would waste your own time and vote to prevent them from being together. I personally don't give two shits. Again, it comes down to insecurity and clinging to old views.
5) The racism here is rampant. It's not direct like it was back then, but it's more indirect. I'm a black american btw, but I'm just disgusted by what I see of black people on TV. The media is promoting nothing, but the stereotypical thug image. Being a proper black male here is pretty much a catch 22 situation. Again it stems from insecurity. Throughout this countries history, the elites have gotten by with so much shit by just milking the insecure white male to death. All you have to do is convince them that their skin color is more important than their economic value and you have them willing fight for your side.
6) I've ran out of time, so I'm going to have to end it with everybody's favorite aspect of America. The Women!!! Oh, God where can I start. Yall probably can already predict 95% of the stuff I am about to say about the women here, so I'm just going to have leave this. You have to have a pessimistic/cynical attitude with american women to even keep your sanity. Dealing with AWs in an optimistic manner will just strangle your self esteem and confidence to death. I do not see how anybody could take an optimistic approach with american women without wanting to shoot yourself after being constantly burned repeatedly. I just expect every woman I meet to be a ticking time bomb and once it goes off, I dispose of her and find a new one. This might sound terrible, but it's just what I have to do or I'll end up getting nailed to a game fence. It's still crippling mentally because I still have feelings for some of these women, but it just has to be done.
