OT: Sad day for America

[Arraya]

[quote=Djshakes][quote=Arraya]Humane war, now that is funny. Maybe we should “just take the gloves off” instead of listening to whinny liberals and really win this thing, eh..

We are a very violent culture. which is not surprising with the radical, paranoid and violent ruling class. These people use the U.S. military (which they and the children rarely serve in) around the globe with disasterous results, force radical demographic and social change at home . The have us wired up to monitor our mail, phone calls, emails, financial transactions, ect..

They go around, like paranoid schizophrenics hearing voices in their heads, from country to country bombing, killing and displacing millions looking for a mysterious organization that hates us for our freedoms.

Our government is sick and we are all mentally ill.[/quote]

History didn’t start when America was formed. What you described has been going on since the beginning of mankind. So, while we may be mentally ill, so is the rest of mankind according to your definition.[/quote]

Well, I’d trace the current madness back to the mid neolithic period. Hierarchical structure always need violence to uphold and state sanctioned violence becomes accepted. But, that is another discussion. I agree, we are all mentally ill to one extent or another and the cultural pathology seems to have gone malignant. Part of the mental illness is misplacing cause and effect. We seem to spend all our time and resources fixing, diagnosing and complaining about symptoms.

[quote=Arraya]The truth is that we live in a society which sanctions semi-electrocution of its own children on the grounds that it is not fatal, and therefore not true electrocution. It springs from the same streak of cultural cruelty that deems semi-drowning by water boarding not to be torture because it is seldom fatal.

I know quite a few people who enjoyed watching Shock and Awe on TV. They thought it was like a fun video game. That’s the kind of sick culture we live in.

I agree Arraya.

I also think that there’s an animalistic element to the gun culture. Backward men love guns because they are afraid of stronger men stealing their women.
