Warning! This is my opinion! Don't get your @CaptainJackValdy and yer ship in a twist! Kept you waiting for another rant huh? The main topic of this thread is America and its problems. You may call me a traitor, but I am simply pointing out things that make me angry about my beloved country! I will label my topics to rant about from 1-whenever I feel like stoping. So I will start now, and there is no time to waste! This is in no particular order! 1. America's Banking system and Its Economy. I hate the U.S bank! More accurately, the Federal Reserve (I will refer to it as the Fed)! I have said this once before, but I will say it again, the Fed is the most guarded building on the face of the Earth! That is no joke, that means that it literally is more protected than the president! The Federal Reserve is also why America's inflation is so high, of course China has taken part in this also, but the Fed is the most responsible by printing millions of dollars a day, causing the American dollar to inflate beyond perportion! Let me remind you, the Fed is not a government building, it is privately owned and runs the country to its roots! 2. America and its sensitivity! Now, if you went to America, you would not be able to speak your entire opinion because you could get shot. The subjects you do not talk about on public are Politics, Race, Religion, Sexism, and so on. This is America! This is not a communist country! I want to voice my opinion and I want free speech to be enforced again! People around the country are being arrested for stupid reasons, and there is no stop to this in sight! 3. Communism. This scares me to the core. We all know the Soviet Union right? You do. We are becoming what we sought to destroy for 70 years! Ever since WW11, the USSR has been our enemy. Thanks to Stalin. Anyway, America has shot itself in the foot for several years straight, and who we have to thank? That is up to you. If you do not see the clear signs of this, let me point out a few. Spoiler: Includes a rant about politics, do not open unless you can take criticism. Our President has visited and even brought his whole family to Cuba twice in the last few months. People are living off welfare in America, which is contributing to 'we're all lazy' stereotype. Socialism is on the rise. Our economy and government is becoming increasingly corrupt. Vote-Rigging. Socialism is being taught in schools This is were I will end this topic, but on with the next. 4. Propaganda! You know what I have to do in order to get some information right? I have to look up news in New Zealand, Germany, Japan, and Russia to fact check most of what I know for sure. This gets worse because of stations like FOX News, ABC, etc, because they try to distract you with stupid things like "Trending topics about Facebook" or they will go on and talk about their lives. I know why they go on and do that, but this is the news, not some other show. Moving on. There is even more distraction channels, for example those channels which tell you "Lose 10 pounds in a week!" and other type shows. This may not seem like a problem, but it is disracting you from what is important. (Politics, relations with other countries, how you will put food on the table, global affairs, etc) This is the governments way of distracting you from what is really going with the bank, and the rest of the previous subjects. While this isn't full-time propaganda, it is definately a form of it. We are free on America, but it is becoming exceedingly more difficult to hold onto our rights. 5. China. Alright, I want you to think about something if you are American, alright? How many items do you own that are made in America, and how much of what you own is made in China? More than likely more than 90%. There is something else that is wrong and corrupt about this. America is being run by a Communist country. China controls our economy, and our supplies. 6. America's De-militarization. I think everyone by know knows America has guns right? We do. It's our 2nd Amendment right to have guns. People who are not American are confused by why we have guns and our high crime rate. Let's get this misconception out of the way now alright? To tell the truth, most of our crimes are because of drugs. Our guns protect us from crime. To people who think otherwise, if our government were to take our guns, we would be subject to many more terrorist attacks and etc. This gets worse, if our guns were taken way, then what about knives? Then what about fists? If someone really wanted you dead, they would get a gun one way or another. And if yours was taken away, then you have no way to defend yourself. Now, since our police are becoming demilitarized, laid off, our protection is at a all time low. I do not believe in police brutality, but laying off the police is always a bad thing. I do not even have to say why this is a bad thing do I? Overview: I could keep going, but if I did, we would be here all day, and I really hope you all enjoyed reading all of that, even though it wasn't the brightest of all topics. I still wish all of you a good day, and I hope you all learned something from this. If this gets dramatic, I will lock it immediately. ~Venom :D
Time for me to address some of these points. For 3, communism isn't some evil kind of system, it's an economic system. Lately, capitalism has been shown to be more inneffective than socialism. Take a look at countries such as Sweden, Denmark, and India, they have stable economies. Looking at India, the government has their hands full, they have to deal with Pakistan, they have to constantly watch their borders, they have to reinforce the Siachen glacier, all that while trying to satisfy 1 billion people, yet they are doing well for their situation, having a majorly market driven economy would simply worsen India's economy. For 4, I recommend you reading Wall Street Journal, New York Times or Chicago Tribune. Those news sources are very trustable, and WSJ has an opinions section for editors to express their opinions on current events, instead of expressing opinions in actual articles, like other news sources, such as Fox, does. For 5, it's not quite the case, it's rather two economies depending on each other than one controlling the other. Multinational companies just simply opened factories in China, because it is cheaper to produce there, as labor is cheap in China. If the multinationals produced in US, products would be more expensive to buy, and that hurts the profit motive of the companies. For 6, looking at Canada and India, tight gun control is very effective. Making it extremely hard to obtain guns would safer. What I'm suggesting for the US to do is, not to take away people's guns that are already owned, but make it much harder to obtain anymore guns, this is more easy to implement, and won't cause such a backlash.
I have added my counter-points in red. I can tell that everyone will rally on your side, but still wanted to say something.
