    After watching "The History of Us"

    America is so far off from what our founding fathers wanted its doomed for failure. I wish I lived during the late 1800. The usa used to be so put together.

      Canada is so fucked up, why the fuck would I want to move there? You think I want to buy liquor at a fucking GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED LIQUOR STORE?

        B start reading, and you will find that "the history of us " is also very white washed as well, but about the best I have seen come from the history channel in a while, "the revolution" was fairly good too.

          But the liberals say that times are changing and so should the Constitution and our way of life. Are you saying thats not right? You sir are inciting hatred and are obviously a racist!

              Then amend it, thats why that process is there. The Constitution, is as fundamental today as it was 200 years ago. Its provisions are not open to interpretation of modern society. Which is just what is happening with judicial activism, and the use of case law as a primary tool to make legal rulings and not based in the constitutionality, this has been going on since Wilson was president of Princeton and latter the USA and the solidifying of the progressive movement into out political system . Its a living document in the terms that it can be amended when it becomes necessary.

              .

              These are the arguments of those that have no ground to stand on and know it. Even when those assumptions are 100% wrong as well

              I know what you are getting at here and had a good :rofl: over this one. ;)

                watched John Adams as it first aired while taking history courses in college and have been rewatching it on HBO. I completely agree with how far off this nation has gotten, but it is destined. To me there is no more beautiful a story than that of the birth of the US through her founding fathers. Of course there are different angles to take, but the life and opportunities I have infinitely silence any and all words of the detractors. I'll take the good with the bad.

                EDIT: that Canada shit is old as fuck. Try something else for a change; maybe something authentic from the heart referencing the thoughts and ideas at hand.

                  Please tell me exactly what about the late 1800's you would like to relive?

                  The general 20 year economic malaise and depression the country was in? The collapse of the southern states after a failed reconstruction period? Massive soaring state debts? Crushing environmental and humanitarian disasters in the urban section of the country? Mass corruption amongst the upper classes and a complete strangulation of the working class? Vicious attacks against any and all nonwhites and immigrants? The collapse of most towns in the western part of the country after the gold boom dried up? Violent anarchist and marxist riots and bombings?

                          We have State run Liquor Stores in the US too. In many states.

                          But their Medical Marijuana was not quite as potent, And the commute to Sepulvida was one lane and rutted, you'd need a skid plate for your e30.
