The Failure of Americans and America

Hello I know it has been awhile, but there are just some things that need to be discussed regarding my lovely nation and those that occupy this nation.  There are several issues with America that Americans will need to solve to accomplish and make things better.

1.  Stop acting like the news media is your source for correct information on politics and laws.  You need to do the research yourself to make an informed decision as the media does not present all the facts and all the interpretations. Furthermore, the news media is heavily biased and they cannot be trusted.  There are people who should not be office, but are because Americans only pay attention when it is an election year and do not research. 
2. Remembering that the news media is a business not an organization.  News media makes money off selling news about horrible things because they know that Americans are emotional creatures who can be swayed through emotions rather than facts and common sense.  They need to make a profit and good news does not sell.  For instance, our troops were helping locals rebuild town and cities in Iraq, but only bloodshed was published on our media.
3. Videos and memes posted about political candidates, parties, and laws.  Those generally are coming from a biased individual and those cannot be used to stay informed.  Only researching yourself will make you better informed.  
4. Identifying by the color of our skin.  Racism is still a problem because there are parents teaching their kids that the color of our skin is important and the color of someones skin tells who that individual.  BAD TEACHING!! We should not teach children how to identify people by the color of their skin because this leads to racism.  When the outside world looks at us they see United State citizens as Americans therefore we should all see ourselves as Americans.  There is nothing wrong with identifying with your ethnicity (like practicing traditions of the country your family came from, teaching the language of your former country, and etc.)    However, the only way to quell racism is to stop judging someone based on the color of their skin and stop teaching to hate  different types of skin.  
5. Education system. Our education system terrible.  We need to do a revamp of the system to make ourselves more competitive with countries like Japan.  Also make the parents responsible to some degree for not having education as priority for their children. Many parents want to blame the school and teachers (sometimes they are the problem) for the reason their child is failing rather than looking at themselves.  It is your job as a parent to make sure that the children get the support and our being disciplined to succeed in school and life. If they do not succeed then you are partially responsible.  

There are many other issues in our country, but many of those problems can be solved with making informed decisions and presenting solutions (i.e. homelessness, crime, and etc.) However, those 5 issues are critical to our nation.  Many of our issues can begin to be resolved through the American populace.  Protestors in the 1950s and 1960s were able to succeed with Civil Rights because they had informed individuals leading the people (like Martin Luther King Jr.) they were able to inform them that peaceful protests can change the circumstances and can change the laws.  Also they informed them why it was important to make this change.  Rioting and destroying property will not help a cause, but make people turn their heads because all they see is a bunch of adults taking their rage out on innocent people properties. 

Anti-American Protests across the Middle East and Parts of Africa

I am not at all surprised at the amount of protesting happening across the Middle East and parts of Africa.  These are extremists and they do not represent the majority of the people in their nations (maybe a couple).  They are not going to stop and there is going to be no way to appease them.  Some of the governments are not going to help the US out and we should not expect them to.  The reason we should not expect them to is simple, its because they care more about the attacks on their religion then anything else.

However, I hate the fact that our Americans have to suffer abroad because of stupid Americans here, that made the video.  Do they realize the lives that are at stake?  I bet they are not protesting the embassies strictly because of that, I bet some of them are using it as an excuse so they could kill some Americans.  However, the point is that I am not surprised that this has happened.  We have embassies located in countries that one month support America and another month oppose America.  

Another issue is Iranian protests against America.  Remember we have to take those protests with a grain of salt.  Those people are in a midst of turmoil themselves.  Iranian media only wants to show us the parts that they feel are fine.  The Iranians are upset with their government and are trying to find ways to protest and defy the government.  Ayatollah Khamenei and Ahmadinejad are doing a very fine job in suppressing them because they are worried that they will go into civil war like Syria.  

I am appalled at the fact that Americans lives have been taken, but then again that is part of reality.  All I want to conclude with is that these protests are going to happen again and again. There are countries and groups of people that do not like America and the Americans inside and we have to learn to cope with that.  On the other hand, we cannot let them push us around and apologizing to them for us being Americans is not right.  

Side note: Maybe the next time America decides to help a group against their government, we should have stipulations for after they win and establish a new government.  On the other hand, just not help.

Nanny State: People Predicted this Would Happen

America the Nanny State Welcomes You.  We get to tell you what to eat, how to dress, how to spend your money, and get to control your personal life.  That is how America is turning out to be and I am not surprised at all.  Political Scientists have predicted that this would happen.  This all began with The Great Depression when states and the American people really needed the help of the federal government.  However, the states are getting a bit out of control with the the whole lets control what every American does in their lives.  The government makes its seem like they do not have bigger problems then telling someone to not feed the homeless and have a special team come into people's homes to get expired milk.  

Why does the government not focus on improving the school systems rather than worrying about what a kid brings to school for lunch, in which that is the parents right to pack whatever the heck they want into their child's lunch. You are so worried about Americans having Bible Studies in their own homes that you forget to tell teachers and leaders to stress moral values to bring down the crime rates.  

Minnesota is worried about muddy vehicles when they should continue to stress the extreme importance of not driving while intoxicated and drive the correct way.  

Finally, the government is so worried about what the heck we say on the internet because it protects us.  I understand that you want to keep us safe, but we have the right to say what we want and when we want as long as it does not incite violence or is hate speech.  

Word to the government, which you are likely viewing this.  Read up on the Constitution and look at the ways that you are violating it.  The 14 Amendment made the Bill of Rights applicable in any state and you clearly violate them on a daily basis. Read the Founding Fathers books, letters and articles to understand how they wanted America to be.  Many may think they are already in ashes and this is modern America, however they valued our liberty and happiness more than anything.  They fought a revolution so that we can say what we want and go as high as we want to in this country and my government is not going to prevent me from going as high as I want to g.  I think that government is necessary and I am thankful that the government has helped me to get through my life and what not, but there is such a thing as too much government interference.

I thank the Founding Fathers for giving me the freedom to say what I want and do what I want as long as I do not hurt others.  I feel that government is necessary.  On the other hand, I am American and I will fight to protect my liberty and be able to keep my individuality.  

THE FIVE THINGS AMERICA IS BUILT ON

1. INDIVIDUALISM
2. CIVIC DUTY: LOOK AT STATISTICS WE DONATE MORE MONEY AS INDIVIDUALS
3. POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY
4. LIBERTY 
5. EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY:  

America!!!!

Americans do not understand why I Founding Fathers fought for liberty in this country. They do not understand what they did to fight centralized government (the monarchy). They do not understand that we have always wanted to keep our liberty. Do they understand that when you demand on the government to give you economic equality that you are asking the government to take away your rights?

Do Americans understand that some people start business because they believe that it will give them a better life to be happy? Do Americans understand that if it were not for Capitalism that we would have fallen a long time ago? Do Americans understand that the countries that are part of the European Union is failing economically because of Socialism?

I do not think that Americans know what the hell they are protesting. This country has not survived because of the need to put everyone on food stamps. This country has lasted long because of the ability to develop economically and make your own way. America gives everybody an equal starting point. It gives you the choice to be a success or fail. You fail because of you actions not because of what others have. In this country we are taught to work hard for what we want. We are not taught to sit on our butts and expect government to give us things.

WE ARE NOT THE EUROPEAN UNION, WE ARE AMERICANS!!! WE HAVE AN EQUAL STARTING GROUND IN SOCIETY , SO THAT WE CAN HAVE LIBERTY, PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS, AND LIFE!!!

SOME AMERICANS WHINE AND COMPLAIN ABOUT WALL STREET. LET TELL YOU SOMETHING WALL STREET GIVES THE DAMN JOBS THAT YOU HAVE!!! SO DONT THINK THEY ARE BEING GREEDY. THEY WORK FOR THEIR MONEY LIKE YOU WORK FOR YOURS. TRY LIVING IN THEIR SHOES IT IS NOT A WALK IN THE PARK!!!
