[QUOTE="TwoForFlinching, post: 3382385, member: 24500"] I don't know what the future holds, but I know people hate change. We're a nation of hypocrites, and that trait doesn't spare anyone from any background. We'll sit and complain about how things are going but not lift a finger to pitch in to help steer the ship. Every single person has a belief on how others should live their lives all the while not adhering to their own principals of how they think others should live those lives. Worse yet, we all have blood on our hands for creating the world we live in. We've become a people so deeply convoluted in our own personal beliefs that we cannot and will not accept anything less than those personal beliefs. We're a nation of people who forgot how to lose gracefully and win in the same fashion. We see our fellow countrymen as adversaries when they don't share the same belief, and it leads to discussions of civil war and like. I believe it's a side effect of leading a small life. One that's only surrounded by like minded individuals, where a person is free to spout their beliefs without being challenged with a contradictory mindset, and when a different idea does make an appearance, it's far to easy to unfollow or hit the ignore button on those you don't agree with. It's not a healthy way to live. It is solely responsible for creating the mess we're in now, where neither side wants to work with the other. Politics becomes a standstill, and you, I, and all of our fellow countrymen are the ones that suffer from the gridlock we've created. No matter what horrible or bright future America becomes, only one thing remains true, we will have worked hard to create it, good or bad. [/QUOTE]
