Well you could look at religion,races,super powers..hell even the police seem to have that mentality now a days..maybe they always have..dunno. But to me it is the biggest problem.

Nope I would finish the job from years ago(part of Texas was Mexico) and make it the 51st state. I prolly won't get your vote though me thinks.

I think you have a lot of pent up frustrations from being a mod over there and you just need to dump here..lol. Let it out..let it all out but try to keep it no longer then your above post..I have a really short attention span. Democrats are the problem. They are condoning this behavior. They are the ones putting politics in our schools, they are the ones dividing this country into hispanics vs blacks vs whites vs immigrants. Yes, they are the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold War Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Obama perfected the us against them mentality. Every speech he gives is meant to divide the masses. Since most of the media agrees with what he is saying it is not seen as inflammatory. Very weak man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold War Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Blacks being hunted down in the streets is a complete fabrication, but never gets questioned when put forth. I found the sarandan interview interesting. The woman had no problem calling her, laughing at her about her personal perception of Clinton..... would she of done the same for trump?

Skidude600 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I hate to say it, but this is just a small snippet of things to come, unless our leaders in Washington figure out how to work together. Lead by example, not create a divisive atmosphere by spewing rhetoric and bs. I'm not talking one side or the other, either. Both have been guilty of doing it.There has to be some common ground, instead of focusing on being the "winner". It reminds me a lot of the discussions on here and the extremes people go to to "win" the argument whatever it might be. LMAO!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidude600 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I guess I just don't understand why this is hard. I have my beliefs, but I try to look at the bigger picture and put myself in someone else's situation. If I were an immigrant what would I be worried about? If I were gay how would I feel? (I'm not, but bring it on), if I were poor what would I need to survive? Now don't get me wrong I haven't always been like this and I still have my moments, but you can't be so rigid in your ways that it's counter-productive. Change has to happen for this country to survive. At the same token it can't happen over night and it can't be rammed down the throat of the American people. Gotta walk before we can run. Sorry just my take on things. I'll fall off the soap box now..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look a the two choices we've put on pedestals to choose from. IMO, doesn't matter who gets elected, it's gonna be a long road to hoe. I think Trump is still the least dangerous for America as a whole. And that makes me gag. 8 minutes ago, Skidude600 said: I guess I just don't understand why this is hard.

Skidude600 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I agree Z, if I may call you that. It bothers me a great deal that I probably won't vote this year, simply because I refuse to be a part of either one of these candidates becoming the president. I honestly can't remember it being this bad. Thanks for the kind words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
