I was going to reply, but then I noticed you were French. I replied anyways. Hence this post.

Ha, I am not French. Don't believe everything you see on the web. :winkwink:

Nothing new in that article.

Take for example a song released in 1983:



Lyrics:

I'm not anti-society, society's anti-me

I'm not anti-religion, religion is anti-me

I'm not anti-tradition, tradition is anti-me

I'm not anti-anything, I just wanna be free


Fascist state, no freedom

Unless you control yourself

Use self expression, lose your freedom

You're undesirable, you go straight to jail


Two sided politics...more for them, nothing for me


Kill someone, in a war

Get a medal, you're a hero

Protect yourself in every day war

You're a minority you go straight to jail


Two sided politics...more for them, nothing for me



I'm not anti-Reagan, Reagan's anti-me

I'm not anti-government, government's anti-me

I'm not anti-politics, politics is anti-me

I'm not anti-anything, I just wannna be free


Innocent, never guilty

High class lawyer, you are rich

If you're poor must be guilty

Even if innocent you go straight to jail


Two sided politics

he makes some valid observations, even if they are broad strokes. unfortunately, he neglects to include any positive points (i.e. a counter view which is required in effective arguing) in addition to not accurately portraying several of the negatives.

overall, i give his diatribe a C-

ADG

The border between N. Korea and S. Korea is like 150 or 160 miles. The US/Mexican border is like 2,000 miles. Hard to compare the 2 :)

Just another angry white male tea bagger.

I think you missed the point.

lol :1orglaugh

Right, the Mexican border is 100 times more important

Most of that sounds very familiar with how Britain is today aswell. Double standards sums it up perfectly...

Plus look who is building the wall..

You know there was once this great wall .. it stopped people for years .. and then they went around it

america has become much like the author of the commentary...dim, witless and bible toting.

on edit- "In public schools you can teach that homosexuality is ok, but you better not use the word god in the process"

that statement should set off alarm bells for stupidity.
it is a good example of how people's thought processes have been destroyed.

Sounds like typical teabagger rantings.

The funny thing is if you look back to when your parents were middle aged, they complained about what "America had become" also. We complain about boys showing off their underwear in public; They complained about long hair and jeans. Back in the 1960s it was taboo to get knocked up without being married, and parents complained about the peoples.

At the same time life goes on. We buy houses, have kids, and go to work every day. Maybe we just feel the need to complain about something.

yea, he makes some valid arguments, but some of it like that one is pure garbage, what does god have to do with homosexuality? :error

reading is so 1982.

OK, enlighten me. What did I miss?

gfyyyyyy
