if you still had faith in humanity (Tea Party)

let me help kill it for you:

If I only payed attention to rotten apples and pears, I would lose faith in fruit.

I remember watching this in another thread, but its name escapes me.

I lost faith in humanity a long time ago and the only one thing can fix it, a massive catastrophic event. The love of money has grown so ridiculous its beyond saving or trying to fix.

Healthcare, what a joke, its just like what chris rock once said "When was the last time doctors cured anything? they find ways to treat it so you can live with it instead of curing it so they can make money on the comeback like a fucking crack dealer."

Where the fuck are the logical thinkers, informed folk, the intellectuals? How come they are not rallying trying to push things for the less fortunate? Fuckers are too busy w/ my facebook and tweeter bullshit. Instead we get a bunch of backwood hillbillies who know jack shit about anything and believer or not, have a huge impact. God bless them

They are too busy crying about their lack of faith in humanity.

Because logical thinkers are in the background trying to make change happen while fucking retards like these guys are in the forefront making change more difficult.

Honestly, most of the people I know who went out to protest the Iraq War knew basically nothing about the issues and had no idea how to fix the situation and when pressed couldn't tell me what they would have done differently, they were simply there because they hated President Bush. Stupid sheep exist on both sides of the isle.

I won't even drive my car on public roads without first dropping some faith in humanity. Expecting reason, compassion and patience from total strangers will get you killed :D

guartz, that video makes me cry.

I've learnt more about American politics on BG than I ever knew before. Very eye opening and baffling at the same time. I read someplace recently, in an Esquire article, that people think of experts as elitists and therefore don't trust or like them. Reminded me of FFXI in a weird way actually. This is the article: Greetings from Idiot America - Esquire

Oh, please. I'm not about to sit here and claim that the alternative doesn't have more than its fair share of idiots too, but lets not pretend that these 'rotten apples and pears' don't represent the majority of Americans.

Like it or not, 99% of the people who oppose Obama(and support him) are just as stupid and ignorant as the people in that video.

EDIT: Grammar

You completely missed my point. You should reconsider what I am saying. It has nothing to do with political interests and it remains true no matter who you are examining. (EDIT: Its a comment on people who post on Blue Gartr and on what they spend their time on. And whoever says "lost faith in humanity")

Americans have been doing the exact same thing to themselves for a long, long time. Silly Australians.

[Tsuko_Asura]

You're absolutely right, I totally flew by your point.

(Seriously)

[melbufrauma]

people are retards..

[Ksandra]

I don't think the term poetic license ever reaches inside BRP's brain....It's all good.

I thought the video was completely hysterical.

When I went to NY not long ago there was a small Tea Party protest going on. Was the same kinda shit getting spouted out that long-haired guy in the vid was saying.

Perhaps. But at least give us credit for APEC stunt that they pulled. D:

YouTube - Chasers APEC Motorcade Stunt FULL

(For those who haven't heard of it. During the APEC summit in Sydney, this guy dressed up as Osama Bin Laden and got past ~200million worth of security using nothing but a Canadian flag, right up to George Bush's hotel).

If it makes you feel better at no point did you even say you had lost your faith in humanity, so I wasn't even speaking about you. The phenomenon I speak of clearly exists, as there are examples of great apathy(perhaps nihilism) in this very thread.
