Is anybody else really down about the election, Olympics... everything?

Whatever. I realize life would be better if Obama was declared philosopher-king, but them's the breaks. England is ruled by a monarch -- you might want to check it out.

 

Yes. Somewhere in some place someone is sleeping in their own fecal matter. Thus people shouldn’t hope that America could be a better place than it is. After all, not sleeping in fecal matter has been achieved!

 

Oh, I'm working on it. I don't intend to raise a child in this country.

 

We're all sons and daughters of immigrants, you half-wit.

Saying things could be improved is not self-loathing. I would aruge your "Everything is fine" outlook is much more damaging than critical analysis.

 

Once again the answer is "This place is perfect. No need for improvement. If you don't agree, get out."

I'm sorry, but it is ironic that you would go this route and then call someone, anyone elitist.

 

This adds nothing to the discussion, the topic discussed, or message boards in general.

 

Find someplace better, Solzhenitsyn! We cast you out! To seek betterment is to invite exile! Love it! Then likewise leave it!

 

How do you know? What was your experience with the alternative like? Maybe it's significantly better.

Not being a jerk here. Just, there's no way you could know, is there?

 

Guess it depends on how old you are. From what I hear, that little depression they had in the 30s was a pain in the ass.

 

The level of your assholeness (how's that for a word) is breathtaking.

Fuck off.

 

Touche.

 

Things always could be better. Nobody's arguing that.

But again, things never are as bad, or as good, as they seem.
