This is a good speech, worth watching. Flag waving for the states without the flag if that makes any sense to you.
KyleAldrete
i agree. it is a universal argument. we can be better if we used what was great before, not just beating our chest and pretending we are.
spottedfromadistance
Somebody doesn't agree with us OP hence the downvotes. He speaks as though he wants nothing more for the US to be great again VERY inspiring
KyleAldrete
thank you for the clarity. and i want the world to be great. we have the ability, just not the mentality to pull it off.

thats an ok arguement and all.... but people used to get fun of for being able to read during the earily 1900s let alone the mid 1800s...

and familys have only set the standard of going to colleges as a thing in the last 40-50years before then going off to college was 1/2
imgurdmf
seen as abandoning the family alot of america has always shit on becoming smarter its just its from a different angle now 2/2

Meh. Who gives a fuck who's the "greatest country". It really doesn't matter.
KyleAldrete
it is an argument for what makes a place great, not really the focus of being the greatest but why we should aspire to be.

blame decades of politicians
KyleAldrete
i blame it on corruption, ego, politicians, greed, fear and a bunch of other stuff.
DanAndsome
You could blame it on political dogma. No one questions their own beliefs, they just accept them and assume those that disagree are “bad”.
KyleAldrete
that could be a big part of it too yeah.

Lobbyists, legislation riders, super pacs. When the country that hates your every loving guts supports your president you got issues.
KyleAldrete
lobbying is definitely a big part of our current issues. money should not outweigh the moral arguments of the people.
HeHeHebieJeebies
Its a cycle. The classes separate until it resets. We just have better drugs now (TV & Internet) so it will take longer.
KyleAldrete
hopefully we don't turn into nuclear dust before then.

Insisting on being perceived a certain way often means that you are not like that.
KyleAldrete
America is sadly one of the most egotistical countries in the world. we say we are great simply on the idea that we were great before
goandneverdarkenmytowelsagain
The US is not alone. You have imperialistic longings in Great Britain, France the same. In Norway you have an odd super-best-underdog-thing.
KyleAldrete
hopefully we all fix these issues before they become worse.
goandneverdarkenmytowelsagain
Ebb and flow. These sentiments come and go. I do not see a fix for the lizard brain. I would like to see being calm and rational 1/2
goandneverdarkenmytowelsagain
be perceived as cool though.

This is what the millennials have done to society. No other explanation. These pussy ass kids have ruined society.

Take your pills, grandpa. It's time for bed.
LV1BlueSlime
Trump isn't a millennial. Neither is Clinton, neither is Ajit Pai, or literally any of the people who are ruining America right now.
LV1BlueSlime
That's you old fucks, we're just stuck dealing with it.
KyleAldrete
hey LV1BlueSlime. sorry to break it to you but nottodaykids49 is a troll. all he does in all his posts everywhere is spam millennial hate.
nottodayKID49
None of the shit you just said has anything at all to do with any of the things quoted in this post. You know that right kid? Stay salty boy
LV1BlueSlime
You just said "these pussy ass kids have ruined society" and I just told you who is actually ruining society.
nottodayKID49
You pussy ass kids are the ones belittling intelligence. You pussy ass kids judge people on who they voted for. And u fall to fear mongering
nottodayKID49
Pay attention you little shit stain. Don’t turn an argument into something it never was you little millennial coward fuck.
LV1BlueSlime
Truth hurts, doesn't it? Stick to chess and hitting on the nurses in your nursing home, gramps.
panzerkoing1
Millennials are only a symptom of past mistakes. There direct effect is tiny compared to the past generations.
nottodayKID49
Why the fuck my statement is able to offend & hurt you kids of Imgur so easily is beyond comprehension. Its a sign there’s truth in my words
nottodayKID49
They belittle intelligence. They judge others based on who they voted for. And they allow the media to manipulate them into fear mongering.
nottodayKID49
Millennials are the direct reason that the three claims in this post are true. Period. Nothing else. Those three claims.
warmNchewey
This is just beautiful. We haven't even really started running the country...this has to be satire and trolling...like you can't be serious?
nottodayKID49
Pay attention to the words I used. Stop letting your emotions control you.
KyleAldrete
i...can think of a few other possible explanations? like corruption. fear-mongering, hate-mongering. cultural degeneration. greed. etc etc.
nottodayKID49
And it’s due to millennials allowing the media to manipulate them. They believe any & everything CNN tells them. No critical thinking at all
nottodayKID49
All of the things listed in this post have nothing to do with corruption or anything else you said. It’s due to millennials attitudes.
KyleAldrete
millennial attitudes? but most of these problems have been around for 40+ years. millennials aren't even that old yet.
nottodayKID49
Are you having a hard time comprehending what is being said in the post? It’s clear what he’s saying. New problems is what he’s saying.
KyleAldrete
he's talking about a ton of highly complex problems that have been happening for decades. we didn't stop being great 10 years ago.
