It's a shame that the majority of Americans are overweight, overworked, unhealthy, TV zombies, who believe whatever they are told, and interestingly enough are overfed yet malnourished and dehydrated because they can't seem to eat the right thing or drink water.
I get disgusted everytime I hear an obese yellow teeth bearing individual say "I hate water" or "Everything that's healthy is gross" or refer to anything cultural or different as "just plaaainnn weird".
And they all have this strange brainwashed idea that the more they work the more they will acheive this "American Dream" however most end up riddled with health problems because of the quality of the food and environment, the fact that they have the constant urge to acheive (work and work and never stop), and mentally suffering from a lack of relaxation and natural presence in their plastic world.
I guess I am opening an entirely new can of worms but the whole situation really dissapoints and depresses me, and I really belong somewhere else. I am very happy to be in the line of business I am in, so that I am contributing as little as I possibly can to "big brother" and I make enough money to buy my freedom which is what is necessary if you want this so called "freedom"

The (old) picture: Features me in a tiny mini skirt I made from denim, featuring one side made of burnt, and shred American flag, revealing my ass, and an upside down sequined American flag. My feathers represent a memorial of the Native Americans which are near extinction and their reservations have been turned into casinos to feed our greedy pigs.
Bet you all did not know I was such a political and punky little tranny, oi?
XoXoX,
Your Americunt Sweetheart, Princessa Gianna

It is an individual's obligation to raise his/her spirit and make the difference. The problems's source is not political or economical, but cultural and social.
Everybody should try hard to keep up his own qualities and beliefs, should fight for them and should not find comfort in saying 'its not my fault, i found this situation excisting'.
Otherwise, due to my opinion, one is simply wasting other people's oxygen and is a total waste for the community.
On the other hand, history teaches us that there were too few individuals that managed to make the difference, from the ancient years till now.
Fortunately, there were enough, otherwise we would walk on four and live on the trees..
History will judge us all...

It's sad that one needs to buy ones freedoms these days. People lately seem to content if they can watch The Apprentice ( Trump's a an attention whore douche'bag, why is this guy some kinda cultural icon now?), while strapping on a feed-bag of buttered popcorn and several cans of beer, and a ew greenbacks, who cares about what you can and can't do nowadays,
Love the Picture, Gianna.
I got a painting my mom made of a native american, with the flag behind him, but the red lines acting as jail bars for him. Sends a pretty easy message if one has the brainpower to digest it. I'll see if I can find it if you'd like to see it. I bet America was a pretty nice place till the whities set foot on it, I tell you.

Thing that occurs to me is this: when it becomes "Normal" for government to take care of the "consequences" of a behaviour, it soon follows that said government is going to become really, REALLY obsessed with preventing it.
You hand over the consequences to the State, the damn State is going to take your freedom to risk those consequences away.
Freedoms are almost impossible to get back, once they've been taken in that fashion-even if the government then abrogates its "Responsibility" for the consequences.
People think they have a Right to be "Kept Safe". They don't think about what that means. We saw this all through the 1970's, 1980's, 1990's, and now, the 2000's. Instead of letting druggies and drunks kill themselves, we have state-financed "Treatment" (and it's every state that has it, too. don't kid yourself-how much is the only difference).
If you live in a "blue state" they pass laws to protect you from yourself-just like in "red States". What do you think the outcome of this is?
If you aren't responsible for yourself, someone else gets to decide what you can do to yourself.

One day while at a biker bar on my bike, there was a group of Hell’s Angels that showed up. Someone obviously got nervous and tipped off the police. A cop showed up and just stood in the door casing the place. One by one, every Hell’s Angel went out the back door and took off, and we were all happier customers as a result. They knew that the cop could nab every one of them merely for ‘Public Intoxication’, and the majority of them were probably on parole. They wanted no part of that and moved on.
It’s not a bad law at all, and the stings are happening to get people to stop getting so sloshed in the bars for right now. Knowing these stings are happening, I would probably just drink three or four beers rather than six or twelve to avoid getting in trouble with the police till the stings stop. That’s nothing but good for me and everyone else.
Besides, in a month or so, the stings will stop.

I read the law. I even quoted it in my post. A person is only supposed to be subject to arrest if they are a danger to themselves or others, but the police are arresting people in the bars before they place anyone in danger. Its not supposed to be about civility, but safety. A bar's management might be concerned with the atmosphere and has the right to control to whom and how much liquor it serves, but that isn't and shouldn't be the role of the police. Law and order isn't about ordering drinks, and protect and serve isn't about serving them.
Inhouston, I only assume I know your politics as Republican ones, but that party is supposed to be against Big Government, and for personal responsibility, and spending scarce tax dollars and police resources on temperance enforcement is not inline at all with those principles. Lots of things may ultimately be good for us, but we don't want our government deciding them for us, do we?

I know, I thought Republicans were supossed to be about less government, sometimes I feel like i'm the conservatives, despite many people calling me a hippie liberal, which i am none of these
