Why Is the World Becoming Such a Nasty Place?

[Asclepias]

No genius, I'm whining about the fact that you have bigger things to worry about then getting a free pass to turn EVERY fucking thing into a race issue. That is all people like you care about. Race, race, race, race, free shit, reparations, race, race, race blah, blah, blah.

Stop whining. It doesnt work. You are the one that brought up race. No one mentioned the word until you posted it.

Why Is the World Becoming Such a Nasty Place?

Obviously you're ignorant of history, and already a proven partisan hack.

The world was considerably more 'nasty' 40 to 50 years ago – in the United States alone African-Americans, Hispanic Americans, and women were relegated to the status of second-class citizens, subject to abuse, discrimination, and disenfranchisement.

The inane whining by the reactionary right of how 'awful' everything is today is both pathetic and telling, as they seek in futility to return to an idealized American past that never actually existed, an American past that was far from 'ideal' for millions of Americans solely as a consequence of their race and gender.

You are a on trick pony horses ass. everyone is ignorant, stupid, blah blah.... I was around in the 50, 60's and I rarely ran across people as nasty a you...
and you get a atta boy for it too...you aren't just a partisan hack you're one ugly hack human being...Now go spew all over someone else, I have to go puke everytime after reading your stuff

Border Disorders




Central American parents send their unescorted children northward in hopes of remittances and eventual anchor amnesty for themselves.

Our friend Mexico facilitates the exodus through its own sovereign territory (hoping that no one stops along the transit, and happy that the border is further shredded). Central American governments seem happy too. More money will be sent back home. Fewer mouths will be left to feed. Possible dissidents will emigrate. A new generation of expatriates in the U.S. will grow fonder of and lobby for Central America the longer they don’t have to live there.

We utter “the children,” and discussion about proper culpability, cynical manipulation, and disinformation ends. In such a fantasy world, parents don’t manipulate “the children” as pawns; countries don’t try to export what they see as their surplus population; Mexico doesn’t stir the pot; and liberal activists don’t cynically calculate electoral advantage. There are children in need at the border — but there is a great deal more as well. When the president of the United States renders his nation’s immigration laws irrelevant, people notice. And when he establishes a radical expansion in entitlements, those abroad likewise notice. And when he offers a narrative that “they” are culpable and owe much to the exploited, people arrive.

What If?

Try a thought experiment of extending the logic of the current border disorder. Imagine a growing disequilibrium between Chicago and Canada. (On the other hand, why imagine it since it already exists?) Thousands of the children from the most violent areas of the inner city of Chicago — where shootings are approaching levels in Central America — decide to flee the misery for the chance of something better elsewhere. They head north. Some are preteens; some are teenagers; most are innocents; some gang members; some come with their parents; most do not.

Most are poor and without resources and capital. They begin walking or getting on trains to Canada and soon mass there at the border in the thousands, as refugees from horrific conditions of the inner city of Rahm Emanuel’s Chicago. Some gang members have charged them transit fees.

Imagine further that U.S. officials, with a wink and a nod, had encouraged them to leave, given the endemic violence, and the social costs of addressing it. Their parents likewise hope that they are adopted by the Canadians, given citizenship and that they soon become anchors for their own emigration out of war-torn Chicago. And imagine what might be the reaction if the children were not welcomed en masse by Canada. Would we then blast and damn Canada as nativist, racist, and uncaring for not openly bringing our “children” into their homes? Would the influx be a moral act on the part of the United States or American parents who willingly facilitated the transit, and would it be a fair charge against Canada for not immediately taking the arrivals in as likely future citizens?

Now Staph, the world is a nastier place because there are too many people like you that despise anyone that is differant from them. Fundementalism, whether in politics or religion, always leads to intolerance and violence.

Why? it's because the hearts of men are growing cold. We, as a people, are always looking for someone else to blame rather than looking at our own actions and holding ourselves accountable. We expect someone else, the government, some corporation to fix our problems instead of fixing them ourselves.

We have people abandoning their children or worse, killing them rather than loving them and taking care of their needs. We have people more interested in getting drunk or high or working to legalize getting high than addressing the problems in our life that make us want to turn to substance abuse.

If you want to make the world a less nasty place, the place for all of us to start is with the man in the mirror (or woman if that's the case)

The world has always been a nasty place, we only hear about it when the GOP has nothing to offer.
