My Government

[Twig Ee]

I live in the USA and I am P'd at my government.

These Resons
-It was founded by the Majority but is ruled by the Minority
-Focuses on taking cupckakes away from schools when it should focus on the war in Iraq
-Doesn't explain to the press why the war started and let's them bash George Bush when he took the right course of action
-Wants to take away my Christmas
-acts like childhood obesity is like the black plague"I MIGHT BE FAT BUT I AM JOLLY!!!!!!!!!"

Im only 14 and i can see how wrong our government is

Do you like your country's government and why?

[Manhattan_Project_2000]

In before political flame war.

[Acnologia]

I don't think theres anyone who LIKES their government.

[Storm Strife]

A can of worms has been opened. God help us all.

[Buruku]

I vote for "I am this countries government" and I'm infallible.

[-Kitsune-]

Meh, I cant say I hate the U.S. government, I just dont like it very much >.> Mostly becuase it cant focus on the important matters at hand so they try to tackle the little insignificant problems (Like making soda pop and candy banned in school vending machines >.>) since they cant handle the big ones like the war in Iraq without making things more complicated than they already are. I'd give it a 6.5 out of 10 >.>

Do you like your country's government and why?

Do some research before making post like this...
1. This country was not founded by a majority but the elite of their time. It is still ruled by the elite.
2. We don't need cupcakes in our schools.
3. This country is focused on the war, whether you think the war is right or no.
4. There have been ever changing explanations for the war (just watch the press conferences over the years), Changed on the fly as needed. Whether or not it was the right course of action...well, lets say I do not believe in preemptive war with someone who is NO THREAT to us...
5. Who needs Christmas? Christmas = unneeded shopping frenzy to support corporations...
6. Childhood obesity is NOT a good thing. Whether you are happy or not, likely being a diabetic later in life is not something you should strive for...

I love my country's goverment, for i am a non-citizen, an illegal alien everywhere with residence and property nowhere.

1. Wrong, it was instaured by those wo thought of themselves as the elite, and today it is ruled by those who have the thicker pockets.
2. But they're free!
5. Hell, we do! Discounts (almost) everywhere!

Obviously you fail to understand what I meant by elite. Those who founded and ruled our country also tended to be the richest. That has not changed. To be completely honest about it though our country is really ruled by corporate special interests...
Fat kids do not need free cupcakes, or any cupcakes for that matter.
Corporatization of Holidays is disgusting

[Perpetual Specter]

I'm in the US.As far as my opinion goes on the government here,I'd say I don't really like the government here(or some of the programs/agencies in it),but I don't hate it either because there seems to be many many problems for them to try to handle right now.So I'm just okay with our government I guess.

[Aizmov]

I'm an American and think the current government is good as is

Well don't use elite to describe those who only have riches, that word is reserved for those who have 'em all.
Ok then, just give ME those cupcakes, i need to faten up and i'm an epic fail at that.
Sadly, those corporates invented most holidays, even THIS one, and i will make a thread about it tomorrow, right now, i need a shower and bed.

Time to wake up.

[Hypergraphian]

Mmm... indeed.... this is a can of worms...

Lets see....

1) We were founded when the british decided to give our little worthless land back to us because they had more important things to focus on.
2) Our national anthem is a copy of a famous Hawaian love song.
3) Right now the government we have exercises dictated democracy. They claim we have the freedom to protest peacefully yet they use the police against us by putting road blocks during peak hours, causing traffic jams and misery for all of us, just so that they can prevent the protesters from marching.
4) There are illegal loan shark posters all over the place and the police do nothing to arrest those idiots, why? Cause they probably get a cut of the business. As a result, desperate people rob, kill, rape and do anything to get their hands on money. Security is almost nill here.
5) They'd rather spend hard earned tax payer's money on building a ferris wheel that only lasts for one year before they tear it down. It cost us a cool 30 million.
6) Heck, couple of the ministers can colude and either have you murdered or put into jail just because you disrupt their corruption plans. In fact, if they identify who I am, I could be put into jail simply for writing this.

Anyone wanna migrate to where I am?

[TheAsterisk!]

I LOVE the U.S. government (and its state-level counterparts); I have a number of grievances with U.S. politicians.

I'll leave it at that for fear of the thread being closed.

[yoko.......]

i hate it, if i would be a ruler things would be better then bush its like who the **** voted for him?
And who would even want a government its like they hide everything from people i just know they know something thats hidden and i don't like it and who the **** would even work for them or become they're dog they aren't even nice to you and they rape people in foreign country's still its like still the 80s or no its worse its worse then ever because the guy they are looking for is in iran not iraq its like bull **** and the twin towers was so the government i know from people! >=[
And they're is psychological reasons why people steal and do crimes its like they have never even tried killing someone or feeling anything

[DaSOCOM]

While I technically have NO political views, me being the tool of my country's foreign policy and not a shaper of such, I can say that the current US government is about as good as it gets. Every political body has it's own flaws, some are just more noticeable than others. But yes, I selected the "I AM the Government" option. Why? Because I actually am!!

Peace,

You are missing the fact that the government is meant to make you P'd. They're stooges! Clowns! The government wants you to hate them. It's their job to make stupid decisions that make you furious! They're merely a distraction from the real powers that be. It's so obvious, yet people can't see what's right in front of them!

Many American presidents have been professional actors before their political career, doesn't that say something? They're still acting! Do you sincerely think that someone as apparently air headed as G.W. Bush could really run a country? It's all a charade! Not particularly convincing acting either, half of the time he is blatantly mimicking Kelly Bundy.

Always an optimistic word, eh, Eris?
Pray tell, what are the real powers that be?
I can think of only one actor/president: Reagan. Who are the droves of other actor/presidents? (And Thompson doesn't count; he is merely a (loosing) candidate.)

Why it's the economical forces. They've got more political leverage than the people, who -- when push comes to shove, is too busy being upset about the government to notice anything; and quite overtly admit to controlling policy makers through corporate lobbying, and free trips to exotic resorts to talk things over.

I think I got a bit carried away there. I meant politicians. Then you've got Thompson, Raegan, the Governator, et. al.

I voted for him and if it were possible I'd vote for him again

The only part of government that concerns me is government class at my school.

Very well, Eris. I can't contest what you've said here.

-It was founded by the Majority but is ruled by the Minority

I'm not sure what you even think this means, but I'm pretty sure you don't either. Heard it from your teacher maybe?

-Focuses on taking cupckakes away from schools when it should focus on the war in Iraq

The government is big enough to do more than one thing at once. The part of the government responsible for fighting the war is plenty focused on doing just that. (As part of it, trust me on that)

-Doesn't explain to the press why the war started and let's them bash George Bush when he took the right course of action

This kind of politics is probably still over your head, but I will say that as long as most of the press is run by the far left, they are going to abuse "Freedom of the Press" to slander and undermine a Republican, conservative President no matter what he does.

-Wants to take away my Christmas

The government does NOT want to take away Christmas. The Secular-Progressive movement and the UCLA do. And for now, they've lost that fight.

-acts like childhood obesity is like the black plague"I MIGHT BE FAT BUT I AM JOLLY!!!!!!!!!"

It IS a plague. Put down that cupcake and go do some sit-ups, fatty.
