America : The Great Leap Backwards

[Atheist-Lite]

How do Americans see this playing out? With theo-fascism a genuine possiblity, half the population in prison and a public education system which consists of gun frisks at the start of lessons and Republican intelligence holding at the level of a newt there must be some ideas on how this will all unravel. What do you think with a reserve currency at risk and climate change and religous mania? Will it be possible to put humpty dumpty back together or will the union disintegrate?

Would you like a biggie drink instead, it's only 99c more?

I think we can count on most of the rest of the planet to screw up worse than we do, and then we'll muddle through and somehow carry on carrying on.

That's what we thought at the end of The British Empire. Don't work like that. The rest of the world will probably laugh at your misfortune and carry on. Seems to be the usual pattern for a fallen empire.

Problem with that. We got rid of the British Empire, oh, several years ago.

We had a soft landing because of that. Thanks for taking the cluster-fuck off our hands.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Yeah, sure.

[apophenia]

You analyze me, tend to despise me
You laugh when I stumble and fall
There may come a day when I'll dance on your grave
Unable to dance I'll still crawl across it
Unable to dance I'll still crawl
Unable to dance I'll still crawl
Unable to dance I'll crawl.

You must really consider the circus
It just might be your kind of zoo
I can't think of a place that's more perfect
For a person as perfect as you.

And it's not like Im leaving you lonely
Cause I wouldn't know where to begin
Well I know you wake up here only
When the snakes come marching in.

You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot
For taste of your elegant pride
I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe
But at least Im enjoying the ride, at least I'm enjoying the ride

Why the American dream could come to an end

It was a chill January day last year when Lucy Berrington and 400 other immigrants from around the world gathered in Boston’s famed Faneuil Hall — the nation’s “cradle of liberty” on the historic “Freedom Trail” — to take an oath and become citizens of the United States.

For many immigrants who come to America to seek a better life, it’s an almost sacred ceremony, “something like being born again,” says Berrington, 42, who came to the U.S. from Britain in 1997.

Despite a wintry New England day, she found “warmth” in the words of the presiding judge, she says.

“It was unexpectedly moving,” observes Berrington, a graduate student at Tufts University, “a lovely thing, really.”

But, she adds candidly, “something seemed off.”

Standing beneath a painting of founding father Samuel Adams and other greats, Berrington was seized by the feeling that she and her new fellow Americans had come to the land of opportunity late.

“I felt I was arriving at the party as it was winding down.”

One year on, an avalanche of statistics and darkening attitudes support her anxiety.

How do Americans see this playing out? With theo-fascism a genuine possiblity,

Utter nonsense. "Theo-fascism" is not even a remote, unlikely possibility. There are far too many checks and balances in the system for that to ever happen, no matter how many times hysterical Atheist twats try to use it as an excuse to infringe on religious liberty.

half the population in prison

More utter nonsense. From the Bureau of Justice Statistics:

* On December 31, 2010, state and federal correctional authorities had jurisdiction over 1,605,127 prisoners, a decrease of 9,228 prisoners from yearend 2009
* The federal prison population increased by 0.8% (1,653 prisoners), while the number of prisoners under state authority declined by 0.8% (10,881 prisoners).
* During 2010, prison releases (708,677) exceeded prison admissions (703,798) for the first time since BJS began collecting jurisdictional data in 1977.

That's 0.01 percent of the population.

and a public education system which consists of gun frisks at the start of lessons

Only in inner-city ghettos, and there they just use metal detectors, not frisks.

and Republican intelligence holding at the level of a newt

Which is at least forty orders of magnitude higher than Democrat/Progressive/Marxist intelligence.

there must be some ideas on how this will all unravel.

Not from the Democrats, Progressives or Marxists. They continue to deny that there's even a problem...other than Republicans...and their inability to do whatever they want...in the whole country. They have no solutions or suggestions much less ideas of how to deal with anything other than "tax the rich and give the money to the poor."

What do you think with a reserve currency at risk and climate change and religous mania? Will it be possible to put humpty dumpty back together or will the union disintegrate?

I think the climate change alarmists will be shown to be exactly that, the climate will continue to oscillate as it's been doing for billions of years, and Atheists and environmental extremists will not-breed themselves into extinction. The rest of us will just keep on keeping on enjoying life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

I'd love to see if I could get Alex Jones and Seth into a debate. I think it would be brilliantly funny and with the added potential of being so recursive that it might actually start to drag in energy and matter and cause the black hole those Cerne worshippers were trying to manifest

The worst that could happen here is that the living standard in the US dwindles until it reaches that of the UK.

In some parts of the US it could be worse than that even. The lucky will find a way to one of the former British colonies and we'll see what we can do at this end?
