and your post is the EXACT reason why.... it is better to live in a real third world country than in a a "pretend to be" third world country... i'll explain later... right now i am going to relax after a busy day... zone out and watch some movies.... i am SICKENED tired of these bastards doing all the carp they have been doing.... :) i need no steeeeeenking bad stress... i like the good stress, when at the end of the day one feels productive... as opposed to what is been happening for the last two years or so.... so for now... i am bailing out from the bailouters... -g [that's a new word]

the problem with living in a former 1st world country now turned a third world country wannabe is: 1.- the politicos and high powered banksters have become completely corrupt. as a result, we have a broken economy with NO HOPE to return to ANY degree of normalcy, thanks to the actions of these bastards. many businesses, and indeed, many INDUSTRIES are broken and will be so for YEARS to come... 2.- the promises that over the years the government has made to the people have become (on its own accounts) UNDELIVERABLE and thanks to the latest bout of bailouts and further promises, under IRRATIONAL programs, on the brink of going broke anytime now.... This is a condition that DOES NOT exist in many of the third world countries 3.- the effects of the combination of the above conditions in the near future are unknown (as we have never been in such position) but at best, it sounds quite explosive when you know that there are 79 million "babyboomers" who are EXPECTING the promised benefits.... that at some point will not be there. 4. - the current set of circumstances namely: A. - manufacturing base nearly eliminated. B. - Service industry (FIRE = Finance, Insurance, & Real Estate) is DEAD C. - debt levels (and its corresponding service requirement, i.e. interest) makes it mathematically IMPOSSIBLE to meet. now and in the foreseeable future 5.- the well oiled and structured legal and court system -supported by an equally efficient POLICE... so if anyone (without the proper credentials to benefit from the patent political corruption leading to the ability to break any and all possible laws) means that such poor soul will be living under the effects of such corruption, yet he or she has no relief because if he/she gets caught in an "offside position" of this sickening game, (i.e. committing an illegal act) he/she will suffer the entire burden and wrath of the system as it was originally designed, without one ounce of benefit from the ongoing and growing blatant corruption.... THEREFORE why anyone in their right mind would want to live under these circumstances....? yes, the family connection is (to a degree) a justifiable argument.... but it is no different than betting on the wrong horse... a horse that is sick and dying.... i have not even addressed the psychological effect of living under a system that rewards inefficiency, idiocy, and the lack of motivation to be a productive individual... for how long are we expecting this to continue? definition of insanity....... --> expecting a different result from doing the same thing, over, and over, and over, and over.... again, and again.... no thanks..... i believe the moment has arrived for those 'life changing moments' p.s. did i mention taxes? as in property taxes, federal income taxes, excise taxes, sales taxes, state income taxes, blah, blah, blah...... p.s.s. i can also see a problem that for the majority of americans learning a second language has always been a relative major challenge because: 1.- there has never been a compelling need in the past... (namely... there was no need period) 2.- most everyone in other countries speak english (makig most americans lazy in this specific task) 3.- english IS without doubt the easiest language to learn..... (i.e. conjugation of verbs are nearly non-existent, try that in any of the latin languages... or worse, German, with all the derivations that the language demands.. remember Latin ? how about chinese -lol)
