America The Hated

[prozaker]

America is a continent.

 

get your shit right.

[NBVegita]

If you want to be technical,

 

The Americas are two distinct continents (plural). You have North America, which is a continent (singular), South America which is a continent (singular).

 

Technically speaking America (as a singular) does not have a direct reference to either continent or country.

 

Now if you are speaking casually America can be termed to represent either of the American continents (North America and South America) or the American country the United States of America.

 

Get your shit right.

[Simulacrum]

Both continental naming schemes and the United States' demonym have multiple disputed standards.

 

Get your shit right.

So, big question!

What's going to happen next?

Is Obama really going to eventually fix it all. OR, are we looking at a messier future?

 

Discuss... . .

 

Obama's problem is simple. He was elected by the left,and when elected he wanted to please everyone including the right.

The right doesn't give two shits and will never like the left.

While trying to make everyone happy he ended up just alienating those that elected him, and now because of it he lost a seat and can't do jack.

 

Sadly, he did this to himself.

 

The moral, make the people who elected you happy, and not the other side, cause they will never like you.

so are we going to stay fucked up forever and get worse, or better?

@Prokazer, NBV, Simul: You're all nazis.

@Synister: Yes, I do.

Apparently Iceland(or is it Greenland..) is the cleanest place on earth. All energy-efficient and whatnot.. but it's cold as hell.

 

PS: Lynx do you have a british accent?

He should post an audio clip of himself.

The problem is that the left doesn't give two shits about the right either.

 

The election in MA just goes to prove that the country doesn't like when one side, be it Democrat or Republican, tries to pass items, most notably major items without having the support of ANYONE on the opposing side.

 

So now that he doesn't have a filibuster proof majority he can't do anything? You mean he simply can't do anything he wants.

 

Ultimately you need at least some support from both sides to pass something that is fair. It is not good for the country to have either side be able to pass items without any support from the other side.

 

I would say Obama's biggest problem was that he wasn't bipartisan enough to gather any republican support, but just hinting at it has lost him democratic support. I also think as a whole people don't agree with how (and how much) he spent the money on his stimulus package or the health care plan as it is today. Those are two very big topics that are very critical for a lot of people. Heck it took trying to push through this health care plan to get a Republican elected in a state that hasn't had a Republican representative in nearly 4 decades.

Not sure if this topic is going off topic, I think it still falls under "America the Hated" but now we are discussing Americas hate for its government.

 

Hmm...

 

I don't like this new bill coming out of for Health, the inability to choose your own Doctor, inability to choose swift-ness of medicine, less pay (for medical practitioners)/higher taxes(for all), a waste of stimulus money.

The list goes on.

I'm finding it difficult to be happy I'm almost out of High School and going to my university...

I'm hoping this improves by the time I get out of school in about 8 years.

 

Sigh

America the sh*t hole.
