Why is everyone getting so defensive? He's 100% right. Western culture right now does suck balls. It's almost exclusively media driven too. You can't tell me modern music is as good as music in the past. Movies these days are fucking shit with a few exceptions. Art these days is just degenerate abstract bullshit that only pretentious art ***s pretend to enjoy. The two political party system is ridiculous and forces Americans to make a choice between the lesser of two evils, because the candidates are always morons who promise a lot more than they actually do.

He's fucking right. What is wrong with complaining about your country? If no one complained, nothing would change.

Oh yeah, it's so easy to just pack up and move. Especially since we don't know the threadstarters age at all, or his current financial situation, or anything at all.

There is nothing wrong with complaining. It's idiots like you who stay content with the bullshit society churns out that allow society to do that.

I mean fuck, nearly everyone is opposed to the war in Iraq and NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. Talk about complacency.

What do you think? What do you hate or like?
It all started going down hill when Hip Hop/Gangsta Rap/Rap/Shit took over the culture. It turned people into animals. Idiots wearing pants that arent really pants, but ankle warmers because they just fall to the ground anyway and you have morons running around showing off their undershorts. Indicative of zero parenting or at best IV drug abusing parenting.

Then Hollywood? IT all started when they began remaking T.V. shows that were stupid as fuck to begin with. Charlie's Angels (Dumbest fucking show on earth, other than some nice asses), Hell they even remade Maverick (Dumbest f ucking Western show on T.V).

Culture/LIterature? Ever since the acid dropping hippies of the 60's came out of their respective coma's and started rasing families in the 80s and 90s? That's where Culture and Literature went to shit. I mean reading half the crap that's out in paperback now? Indicative of the massive brain damage that occured from all that drug abuse by the baby boomers.

Politics? Well at least it's still fun.


Most people don't know shit bout fuck as Robin Williams would say.

But so what? Neither does half the planet. Still wondering if it's a good idea to drink out of the same place you dispose of your sewage.

It's still a great country. Americans are at their best when things are worst (At least real americans, not the whiny Immigrated turned citizen americans, usually they resort to their own culture).

/agree Love it or leave it Commies! How dare you exercise your right to free speech? Free speech is for Commies and terrorists.




Americans are famous for their weaknesses to propaganda. We are taught that our life will be better with new clothes, new cars, new houses, new jewelry. This supposedly makes both men and women more attractive, magically. Our materialistic culture is reflected in our music about bling, our talent-free idols like Paris Hilton, and our omnipresent advertising. People need to be more skeptical about what will really improve their life.

lol exactly. They just do what they are told to do. If Hitler had started his party in America during the great depression, he could have made everyone eat their own shit and fuck their mothers if he wanted to.

our culture nowadays is created by the corporations...
our media is watered down b.s.
our public school system is failing
our health care is getting worse
and our government is out of control in general

So before hip hop, it was all great?
The "real" americans. The only "real" americans are the Native Americans. Everyone else here are products of immigrants.
