I don't love my country. I love the ideals it was founded upon. Patriotism is overrated. To be proud of your country, to me, is akin to being proud of your hair color. How can you be proud of something you didn't choose?
Be proud of things you choose. The way you treat others, using your turn signal every time-those are things to exude pride over. I don't understand patriotism, since none of us chose our birthplace.
I don't hate this country, either. I'm indifferent to it. I do love the ideals the Founding Fathers had at the outset of its creation, ideals that overall have been abandoned.
Whatever the fuck happened to freedom of religion?! Everything is "God this" and "Bless that." FUCK THAT. Our money, our Pledge of Allegiance, are blatant endorsements of religion. Tax exemtion for religious organizations? Ludicrous. There's nothing wrong with religion, but it's a private matter to be dealt with at home. Masturbation.
I fucking hate racists. I hear people talk about immigration reform, and it's a load of crap. "Oh, other countries don't have the right to come here." I'm sorry (not sorry), unless your ancestors are 100% Native American, they came here, too. If someone is making an honest living, I don't give a fuck where they're from.
There's a disgusting sense of entitlement nowadays. It's rare to see anyone with a strong work ethic, much less anyone who doesn't have a need for instant gratification. "You want something? Put it on the credit card. Take out a loan." It's a major reason our economy went to shit. A lot of people don't want to save for something they can afford or want things handed to them.
I don't think it's this country's duty to be the police of the world. We have no right to tell other countries not to have nukes when we have a fuckton of them. We have no right to impose our way of life on others. We need to mind our business.
Our education system is shit. Schools don't have enough money for books, but the football team gets a new uniform. Paying teachers based on student performance is impractical, simply because they're not the sole deciding factor.
Parents are afraid to discipline their kids..Almost anything could be construed as abuse! That's why kids shoot up schools and misbehave.
I understand this amounts to nothing more than a severely disjointed rant. These are all opinions. Take them as you will.
