    One thing i really wish the government would do is to try to unify people more. I think its important to bring people together. The US is a melting pot indeed. I live in Northern virginia one of the most diverse parts of the country. Its great because were all different but we all get along. It be great im just saying that could be the first step to end racism

    Stop making god awful programs that put us deeper in debt to the point we may never be able to pay it back.

    Obama is literally shitting all over the US. I'm convinced that the presidents are just pawns though and no matter who was president it would all be the same. With so much power there is always corruption.

    Edit: Also blue dream, there will always be racism just as much as there will always be religious differences.

    You take over Obamas job Zain. I know for a fact you'd be 1000x times worse than him. No-one can come into a government regime left behind by George Bush and sort it with a snap of the fingers.

    Obama is tied up by an oppositional Republican party, a split Congress and an ineffective Supreme Court. His attempts to pass an effective healthcare plan was obstructed by Congress, and ruined by a partisan interference by the Republicans.

    The fact the USA doesn't already have universal, free healthcare (something the rest of the western world has had down since WW2 (even though their economies were a wreck, and their industry crushed).

    People complain about government spending adding to the deficit, but don't realise that government spending DIRECTLY benefits them in the case of healthcare. A hell of a lot more than, say, the Bush tax cuts (which directly accounts for about 50% of the current deficit). When/if the Bush tax cuts expire at the end of the year, the deficit will disappear a lot quicker than government spending freezes or more bailouts.

    What the government really needs to do is increase corporate class taxes, and reduce the taxes on small businesses, to account for the disparity between them that the end of the Bush tax cuts will create.

    In short, stop bitching about Obama, because the system that's failing you was in place long before he got there.

    Haha that facts mutual majin, I didn't directly mean that Obama was to blame for all of this countries problems, bush definitely was shitty president #1, but i mean the part that has made me totally loose respect for Obama, was when he supported to put a mosque on ground zero, it could be anywhere in the country but he supports/wants new york, a few blocks from where the towers once stood.

    Edit: My point is i don't think we should build a mosque that close to where Middle Easterns are believed to be behind the attacks, (though i don't believe thats what happened at all). If we asked to put an American Religion church anywhere in Middle east asia we would be laughed at. Not to mention had any americans destroyed a national symbol of theirs they'd probably shoot whoever asked.

    That's just me, didn't say i wanna take over someones job or lead this country to the glory days, just saying how i feel about the subject lmao. (Cus we got some obama mamas in heree)

    I always forget what a retard you are, and then you make a post like this and it all comes rushing back.

    First, Obama didn't support the decision to build a mosque near Ground-Zero, he simply supported the rights that the people building the mosque have to build where they choose. He specifically said that he thinks its a poor choice of location due to the sensitivity the spot holds to most Americans.

    Also, it's not 'Middle-Easterners' behind 9/11, it's a specific branch of radical Jihadist Islam. The attackers were trained and supplied in Saudi Arabia, by a terrorist organization based in Afghanistan/Pakistan/Saudi Arabia.

    Also, America Evangelical and fundamentalist churches are built all around the world, in war ravaged countries, in impoverished nations. If you tried to tell them that it's inappropriate, they would call you intolerant and bigoted.

    Also, not all Middle-Easterners are Muslim, and even amongst those that are, there's so much division between different groups (Sunni, Shia, Sufi, etc), that the beliefs held by one, is not the same as the beliefs held by another. That is true with all religions.

    Also, based on how you spoke about 9/11, I'm assuming you're one of those shit-for-brains 9/11 conspiracy theorists, right?

    amen brotha!

    racism is just whats left from those who had experienced it first hand, our generation, now more than ever, is the most friendliest to others and most of us care less about the skin color, and plus most of us have multiple cultures in our background like he says!

    seriously i cant wait for our generation to hop in the government and see how things will change cus our generation listens to modern music some of us(like myself) listen to old music, just about everyone is a gamer, most of us had a chance at drugs and alcohol (not saying the old farts didn't but they aren't on our level lol) our generation is more laid back its gonna be nice to see the 90's and late 80's babies in power we are deffently more friendly
    (sometimes...) and most of all we all watch family guy!

    umm, our generation won't change much.

    most politicians are pedigree politicians who were born and raised to be politicians. They'll be just like mommy and daddy were and they'll flaunt their Ivy league education around while extorting the masses.
