Here is a comment by SHABOY left on my last post. People are quick to comment on politics, and to criticize others. Here is a chance to see what freedom of speech and deomcracy are about. They’re about accountability. SHABOY is demonstrating what it means to be truly American, to be patriotic. Ask yourself, is this how we want America to be viewed? We need to find common ground and work up, and try to tear each other down, use racist slurt like “towel heads,” not call each other “dicks.”
yeah towel heads are great people. they just released a video of the beheading of an american contractor but you’re right they’re the victims. I’d tell you to go suck a dick but then again you probably already are.
Topic: America’s future
Politicians have had their chance with the world. The world is still an ugly place. Everywhere we look, we see news, and we see politics, and we assume that the future of the world is determined by a few. I don’t believe that.
I believe the future is determined by a generation. In college, we have tens of thousands of idealistic, energetic, individuals, who, if it were financially sound, would pursue careers where they were educating the young, and helping the disadvantage stand on their own feet. They would be working as activists, and pursuing idealistic goals.
Fortunately, there’s me. I’m going to start to change everything. I’m going to free students, first from traditional college, and in so doing. I will also be freeing them to become active in the future of America. Democracy is the freedom of politics. What this country needs is the financial freedom to pursue good, to pursue what is good for humanity, not simply shareholders and CEO’s.
The next generation will be the first to be internet savvy. The first to be financially and psychologically prepared to enter into careers where the purpose is improving humanity. The next generation will be the first to have not only Vietnam as part of our history, but the deaths of American soldiers in Iraq as well. The next generation will not tolerate another war. You fall into a hole once, it’s a mistake, a second time, you’re just not being careful, a third time, and you’re just being damn stupid.

Hey Dan, long time no talk. Nice post, as usual. You were right about one thing: Shaboy is definately acting American, but I don’t think he’s acting very democratically. Besides, I’m not sure if more democracy is the answer to our problems. Ignorance such as that is a response to something much, much deeper. We should talk some more… you are right, something has to change. And it will, whether people like that want it to or not.

‘i believe the children are our future – teach them well and let them lead the way’
it’s amazing that whitney houston - a crackhead – sang those lyrics.
anywho – so much to say, not enough energy. just know that i am way impressed with you and i am seriously considering helping you out next year (or in a few months. SHIT! it’s already may. where does the time go?)
and my destiny? well – i’m going to keep that to myself for now, but just know that the chances of it happening right now are pretty slim. oh well. not everything can happen on schedule, i guess.
Politics are an interesting thing because usually they force people to try and act far more intelligent than they really are. Oddly enough, though, those same people usually make some incredibly stupid remarks to prove their intelligence. I just sit back and smile.
I personaly like “racial slurt” and if you read what he wrote carefully youll find that he tactfully avoided calling anyone a “dick”
Thanks for the correction PinkFloyd. I mis-typed slurs, and apparently I am not a dick, but am in fact a dick sucker.
