Participantgood video. 🙂
We should make it as hard to get married as it is to get divorced. People should show that they have the qualifications to have children and support a spouse.
Right now, we have sex and voila, out pops a baby. Let’s go shopping for a house, honey. Oh, wow, the Realtor says we can afford this house. If David and Jane can afford their house, then we should be able to buy one too.
That’s pretty much how people shop for starter houses.

ParticipantDamn PerryChase – you sound like me… Trying to fix the worlds problems all by yourself!
I wish that our society would head in another direction… In lots of ways… I’m starting to feel nostalgic for the good old days of the 70’s when CEOs only made $200K and any smart kid could get into a great university.
Maybe, just maybe, if we throw out the current administration and then get the Democratic party to actually act like Democrats things might turn around… But then again.. Nah – its all going to hell (but it’s ok, the environment won’t last too long either!)
Hmmm…. Maybe I’m in a bad mood!

ParticipantDoomed….were literally doomed. First thing, we must kill all the lawyers.
Some sage advice from a long, long time ago. When you "dumb down" a society for ease of control, this is what is to be expected eventually.
I gotta check my "American Idol" re-runs this morning…then off to Starbucks for a 7.50 cup of coffee, served by a kid who refers to himself as a professional "Barrista" (whatever the hell that is) and then to Von's for a plastic tube of $9,50 per gallon "purified" water then its off to friends house to bitch about 3.95 per gallon gasoline……..Something is amiss for sure.

June 2, 2007 at 1:28 PM #56102ParticipantI agree – dumbed down. Look at our politics – its just about getting elected and 30 second sound bites. Where are the issues – do you ever see them on the news? No – you see the 400$ haircut stories and the sex scandals. The media sucks and the people don’t care. This country has been too dumb, fat, and lazy for way to long. We are having a war and the average citizen doesn’t even notice or be affected. We will be a third (second) tier/world country very, very quickly. And as most of our society is about selling out – the rich will get way richer and everyone else will be in pain. Think the worst of the 70’s with energy crisis’s, unemployment, crime, and ultra high inflation / interest rates ON STEROIDS!
