- fit2rule 13y agoIts called violent social revolution, and it happens all over the world where political injustice is perceived by the masses. But not in America.
- Karunamon 13y agoAll that means is that Americans value social stability over all else. The threshold hasn't been crossed yet. Despite what the media might say, life is still pretty damned good here, and what injustice exists affects a minority, rather than a majority of people.
- aioprisan 13y agoI have to disagree with this. Look at the civil rights movement. When a minority is affected, we will rise up to change the status quo.
- iambother 13y agoBiggest prison population, enslaved, of any western nation. Largest perpetrator of crimes against humanity in the last 80 years. Among the worst health care in the developed world, Atrocious statistics in welfare conditions, in general (been to Skid Row, lately, homie?), categorically the worst exporter of waste, of the so-called developed nations, never mind it considers itself a super-power. Apartheid in America? You're just not watching it on your channels .. but its there. Slavery? White slavery? America is the home of it.
- Karunamon 13y ago"Enslaved"? Hyperbole. Though it is a problem. Every single developed nation has done (and still does) some pretty horrible stuff. Healthcare? Disagree, citizens of other nations find themselves coming here. Cost is an issue (another thing we're working on as of late), but quality certainly isn't. Welfare has always been a sticking point. We're making progress. And the rest of your post is utter hyperbole.
