But you are part of the luckiest generation in history.My grandparents were born around 1885. They were upper middle class and had a great life until August 1914. The next 35 years of their lives were worse than anything that anyone is fearing for the next 35 years. |

Posted by JayMan on Sun Apr 3 20:07:07 2011, in response to Why Does Everything Suck?, posted by Mitch45 on Sun Apr 3 03:59:53 2011. Everyone has problems. Just because humanity has made great progress over the years (at least in the First World, anyway) doesn't mean that everything sucks. They are just not perfect; they never will be. But there is no question that life in the developed world is better than it used to be.Japan, once thought to be the most technologically advanced nation on the globe, can't stop a nuclear disaster that threatens all of the Far East and perhaps more. The problem far from threatens all of the Far East. While no doubt a serious tragedy, the problem will be confined to a fairly small area of northern Japan. Though definitely very bad, it is not the Armageddon scenario you seem to paint. The US government has devolved into nonstop bickering, namecalling and political claptrappery. Nothing gets done anymore. Name calling and smearing has taken the place of governance. Posturing and greed is the name of the game. Nobody lets anyone govern. The internet and Fox News has toned up the rhetoric. Who has the loudest and most extreme message rules the day. Why do you think Sarah Palin could become so popular? Nobody lets anyone govern. Clinton got hounded by the Republicans almost from day one. Because that's the strategy: you win by defaming the other guy. The Republicans are masters of smear, and that was their whole strategy and clearly is the master plan with Obama: Bush was first criticized as having stolen the 2000 election and then pounded as incompetent. Because Bush was incompetent. All you hear about are coming crises - the oil crisis, the food price crisis, the terrorist crisis, global warming, racism, thuggery, bigotry. And so on. You forgot about a big one: the dying bees. You hear about them because that's the job of the media: to tell you about all the things you should be scared of. Most of these are legitimate problems, sometimes there are crises. Such is life. Humanity as a race has accomplished so much in science and technology but it seems we are backsliding into barbarity. I had hoped for better in the 21st century. As a species? Things will get better. In some areas they will get worse. Among the biggest problems facing humanity in the 21st century is poverty, particularly the abject poverty of the Third World. There is evidence that this is due to cognitive differences between different races, as such is it not clear how it is to be solved, but it is a great injustice of humanity that some societies are ascending to greatness while other suffer in undignified squalor. |

Sorry, I'm not going to "blow you".I simply find it highly offensive to the people who actually suffered under the actual Nazi movement for you to compare the "teabaggers" to "Nazis". Do I think that the tea party movement is very counterproductive to the advancement of American society? Yes. Do I hope that they lose big time in 2012? Yes. Do I think that they should be compared to the Nazis? Hell no. |

Okay, tell me the differences between a Lithuanian and a Russian. Then tell me the differences between a Nutmegger and a New Yorker. Perhaps then you will understand that it was a lot more likely that Lithuania would want to secede from the Soviet Union than Connecticut from the United States. |

Posted by Kew Gardens Teleport on Mon Apr 4 08:48:03 2011, in response to Re: Why Does Everything Suck?, posted by Newkirk Images on Sun Apr 3 22:46:46 2011. Some Serb shot some Austrian, Austria issued an ultimatum to Serbia, Serbia ran running to Russia, Austria got Germany on side, and Britain and France were too stupid to renege on their deal with the Russians and keep out of it.In short everyone mismanaged a little local difficulty in the Balkans and turned it into a bloodbath in countries that really had nothing to do with the original argument. And ironically, despite German war guilt being enshrined in the Peace of Paris, they were probably the least culpable of the lot: once Russia was threatening Austria, there would have been serious balance-of-powers issues if they had not intervened on the Austrian side; and once they knew that France wasn't going to keep out of it and—worse still—had the support of Britain, they needed to act pre-emptively in the West and knock France out, or be faced with the logistical nightmare they ended up in in reality. But to complete the precis, the Italians eventually decided that they'd like to join in kicking some Austrian butt. Then America turned up late and claimed victory. It comprehensively trashed the economies of all involved, and the only reason the 1920s weren't an unmitigated disaster was that so many young men had been killed in the war that it hid the unemployment timebomb for a decade. |

I meant more the US shattering into several smaller nations or even parts of the US seceding to other nations. Nutmeggers and New Yorkers have a ton of overlap to be honest, a lot more than Lithuanians and Russians ever had. The greater thing is how someone from Massachusetts has a lot more differences with someone from, say, Oklahoma. The US wouldn't be allowed to form in the modern atmosphere.Besides, if Connecticut seceded it probably would be in a unit with all of New England (and probably part of Upstate New York). It'd be a debate on if it'd either survive independently or would potentially ask to be accepted into Canada. |
