Yeah, but everything about America's origin stem from petty spite towards the king of England.

But seriously, enough of all this picking sides garbage. We are all human beings and we all deserve equality. US, Britain, Black, Asain, White, Hispanic, Gay, Straight, young, old, mentally impaired, Christian, follower of Islam, Buddhist, none of that shit matters.

Now let's all listen to this Macklemore song Kappa

I agree.

But just while we're at it, I despise how people need to make distinctions such as "Hispanic" or "Asian" when talking about race. A Hispanic can be Black, White, Native American, or even Han Chinese; the label is completely useless.
Just to prove how useless the label"Hispanic" really is, here's a simple test. Can you determine which of the following people is a "Hispanic"?

Wrong. They are all Hispanic.

The problem is not that we lack the metric system, the problem is that both Metric and standard systems exist.

Because of the US's reluctance to join the rest of the civilized world. Imperial units are shit and we all know it; they're defined either by other measurements or just completely arbitrarily. Meanwhile, metric is 100% scientific/mathematic, with the exception of the kg (but we're working on that).

Lol good point. My b Kappa

But when I fill out things that have to do with my race, I have to fill in African-american, Hispanic, Native-American, and the infamous other Kappa - I'm somewhat of a mutt

This bothers me. I'm tired of people bitching about how the government should be gotten rid of, but don't have any real suggestions as to what should come next.

Right Norik. Because writing a new constitution is sooo easy. I supposed if I sat down for months and worked it out, I would come up for something.

But honestly, I'll leave that task to someone who knows more about Gov than me.

Except the Constitution doesn't favor any economic model, so there's no need to re-write it in the event of a total collapse. You could build both an anarcho-capitalist republic and a socialist democracy with it.

Your post illustrates my point beautifully. Americans barely even know their own system; chances of a full-on anti-government revolution succeeding are near zero. A video game forum is not the place to discuss something like this, so I'm just gonna leave this here.

First of all nobody is going to argue that our origin was scientifically determined, you must have gotten pretty salty to try to clumsily shoehorn a burn in there. Secondly you only show your ignorance in reference to america's origin. We petitioned for representation in parliament, hell two years into the war Ben Franklin was still trying to get the king to accept home rule while still under the crown in exchange for the cessation of all hostilities. It had nothing to do with hating the king or the station of the monarchy.
 
We just need better people in congress and or the white house. Like I've been saying...If their paychecks and benefits were on the line, the shutdown would not have happened. Actually a lot of stuff would be different if they faced negative consequences or at least had the threat of termination for low approval ratings. What other place of business do you all know of where you are viewed poorly and perform poorly to that degree but stay employed?

Does Lindsay Lohan count as a place of business?

Just get the money out of politics. And get rid of anyone who uses the word "God" in his/her arguments.

Reducing the average age of Congressmen could also help.

What percentage of this list is a joke? Because if it's not hovering somewhere over 80% you sure do look like a moron. I could point out that most of us don't want to bomb anything, or ask where you get off saying we're obsessed with the superficial when you guys obsess over royal family fashions and won't even pick up a newspaper unless there's a pair of tits in it, I could point out in response to your "lack of religious fuck nuts" that instead you have a state run church that spent hundreds of years actively murdering people with dissenting opinions, or the hypocrisy of you complaining about over the top patriotism but the thing is you could be joking (I hear these generalizations parroted enough seriously though that its hard to tell) and I honestly think any argument for what makes a country better than another is pointless and superficial if it doesn't concern things like "is there clean water to drink?" or "am I dramatically more likely to be kidnapped and murdered?".

Nothing makes you laugh more than an 18 year old college student explaining how the government could be run better... xD

Nothing makes you laugh more than an 18 year old college student claiming Activision is a bad company for make a 22% profit over his fav game company which loses money in some fiscal years.... xD

18 yea old college students who barely pay anything in income tax, voting to raise taxes on wealthy business owners, lol, isn't that ironic?

Norik thinks a game that make a billion dollars in profits it's first fiscal year is a dumb thing... Why?

Welcome to internet! Where every person online is a expert on firearms, women, games, politics, psychology, and business! Lmfao!

WO, I'll have you know if 18 year old college students were to run the world, it'd be a much better place. Here's why: This genereations 18 year old's are all hipsters who don't want to fight so that eliminates conflict. We like extremely shitty music, which is motivation to get the whole world to get along and stop lil wayne, seriously someone do something about that guy. Stupid issues that are attempted to be "justified" by a god or gods, like gay marriage wouldn't be as much of an issue, I keep bringing that up, but I like to recycle useful shit so I don't have to think as much cuz I'm 18 Kappa Also 18 year old college students haven't yet been tainted by old folk blackmailing.

In my personal opinion, age isn't the end all be all in an argument. I'd say it'd be more dependent on the nature of the individual. Is the 18 year old dumbass swag yolo college kid? Or a kid who's been aspiring to be a lawyer or doctor, or the next beyonce since he/she was 12
