Countries around the world are beginning to move away from the Dollar ..

Oil transactions are moving to other currencies instead furthering its decline, and people still sit here having no clue why the gas prices are climbing along with everything else. People are losing their homes left and right defaulting on loans ..

Honestly does anyone even care... let me guess so long as people can be entertained, watch sports, get wasted etc. everything is peachy... im waiting for the day for people to be NO ONE TOLD ME.....

We are all aware. So, just because the **** is hitting the fan, are we supposed to slit our friggen wrists as a result? I DON'T THINK SO.

I'm not going to walk around with a chip on my shoulder because all of this stuff is happening.

I have a question for you though, do you have a resolution to the problem or do you just want make comments like our buddy Burke?

It is the sad fact that most people don't care about the future just today and now which is downright selfish.

It is normal for people to worry about the future. Like I worry about the fact the people continue to buy from food industries that poison us using pesticides, hormones and other chemicals. Industries that refine plant foods removing the phytochemicals and nutritional value we need to sustain a healthy body and immune system which is already on attack from the chemicals. GE foods that have been modified to increases the plants resistance to pesticides so that stronger pesticides can be used on them. Meat grown with hormones in a disease infested habitat but pumped full of antibiotics to sustain life in till slaughter. Meat without the nutritional value it once held from getting a proper diet in the wild. Fish once a great health benefit now must be eaten in moderation due to toxins in the water. People whose immune system is weaken still because they are being misinformed about fat intake.

Heart disease and cancer could be greatly curved with a minimal amount of attention to diet. The people have the power. If they wanted to buy organic foods and free-range meat the industries will comply to meet consumer demands. But I don't run into a supermarket and start screaming blasphemer. Also don't give me that diet does not hurt the others around you retort. Because I have great retort about how many go hungry and environmental hazards due to our inefficient food production methods.

My point is the world is not a perfect place and neither are people. I want people to change their eating habits just a little it would help the environment, help feed the hungry, increases life span and boots health. But going around saying "Hey stupid wake up" is likely to close more doors then it will open.

Now perhaps in a civil way you would like to enlighten this daydreaming, fantasyland, Sunday football watching lemming as to the ramifications of Black Friday.

Where exactly did I say let's slit our wrist, can show me where exactly, suicide is a weak persons trait? It is called making people aware for those that aren't, what chip, because I believe in what our forefathers and many millions thereafter have given in blood and death in order to give all future generations what we have now that we so willingly give it away, that we ignore it..that we become so apathetic because we believe it won't affect us, that we would rather turn a blind eye and not get involved because we are TOO BUSY, that we won't risk anything because our material things mean more to us..that as long as we keep our mouths shut we will retain everything this Country was founded on.

It is general thinking of someone else will take care of it that got us here in the first place. The only time things have changed is when people united and fought and worked towards the same cause, I have been speaking with everyone I come across, protested, passed out tons of literature to people because most people won't take the time out of their day to inform themselves on why things are the way they are and how it affects EVERYONE on a day to day basis for years and years now. The only reason any of this **** persists is because people say and do nothing. You think the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution came to fruition by people sitting on their asses not getting involved, not caring about themselves and others. Not seeing any direct and immediate benefit.

Looking back to the fraudulent election in 2000, and a partisan Supreme Court who decided they wanted "their boy" in the White House ... millions of people would still be living the good life if the US had left the White House vacant, instead of renting it out to the Republican Party and their supporters. No warnings given to Americans before 911. No capture of the Anthrax killer. No capture of bin Laden and his cave-living gang. Hidden chambers of torture. Secret prisons. The reputation of the US is in the sewer. Everyone hates America today. They don't think of us as a living, breathing, functioning democracy. At one time, we Americans were the envy of the world. People wanted to be like us.

All one has to do is look at history it has constantly been repeating itself over and over again because people refuse to participate and get involved with all aspects of the american life, the reason the **** is hitting the fan is because nothing is done on our end. Even the Federal Reserve admitted in a speech in 2002 that they caused the Great Depression, they purposely hurt, endangered and ruined millions of lives yet people sit idly by thinking by paying the house note, voting every few years and paying taxes is ALL they have to do to be good Americans and Human Beings. That nothing else has to be done to retain and seal a better future for all.

Honest question does anyone believe if we didn't have so much damn distraction, so much **** keeping people busy trying to become wealthier than their neighbor, keeping the tops scores of last nights games, busy getting plastered not remembering the night before, sitting down in front of the boob tube just drifting off.. if we just saw everything going on day in day out, here and abroad, does anyone think we would stand for this ****? I could only hope humanity has not dwindled down so low that we wouldn't demand change and make it happen.

"All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent."

"Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty. "

"Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day. "

Thomas Jefferson

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

-Samuel Adams

All this **** because we went Christmas shopping on black friday and you obviously put me in the category of an american citizen who doesn't give a **** and will leave it up to someone else to fix the problems.

Dude, you do not know what I do. You have no clue what I involve myself in. You started making comments in this Black Friday thread as if we are being ignorant to what is going on.

Take a crap somewhere else and not in this thread.

So, are you going to crap on some future Christmas threads too?

WE DON'T NEED YOU TO EDUCATE US ABOUT **** GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY THAT WE ARE FULLY AWARE OF. GET OVER IT!!!!! START YOUR OWN FORUM.

If freedom of speech means anything at all, it means the right to express ideas others disagree with. Honestly I am actually interested in what you involved yourself in, because that is a great thing. And sorry but not everyone is aware on this forum. And I won't be starting my own forum. By the way I still love everyone here.
