Will hippies and their passivist ideals cause the end of western civilization as we know it?

Question

I believe the percentage of hippies and their wimpy mentalities are a big part of what has ruined America. As a result of the 60's flower child generation, I believe America has all but been completely castrated. When the ambassador of that generation was elected President of the United States, it was all down hill from there. Political correctness started poisoning the minds of the populace after Slick Willie and Hilarious Rodham Clinton took control and now all we have is a bunch of apologists and bleeding hearts acting as if we're the "bad guys" of the world and thinking we're the root of all evil. In my mind, people like the ones I have just mentioned are the people who are ruining this country and rotting it from the inside out. They are also the reason that will cause me to move ultimately. The way I see it, it that it works both ways, if they don't like it they can leave it, and if I don't like it I can do the same. So eventually I will do just that, leave.

I meant, "is that it works both ways" oops, typo, lol.

You're trying to save this place? All you believe in is peace and letting people get by with anything and everything under the sun. You believe in no consequences for some one's actions and you feel more pity for a murderer on death row than you do an unborn child who is murdered in the womb by it's own mother. That isn't exactly saving anything, that's putting a living thing to death before it has a chance to live. You want America to be weak and let the other nations of the world walk all over us, that is called pathetic no matter how you look at it.

Valcus, I'm not pro-Democrat or pro-Republican, I simply despise passivism and people who want us to be the doormats of the world.

I'm not very pro-George, but I am VERY anti-Bill. If you ask me, neither have done a lot for this country. They've both played politics to the nth degree at the expense of the very country they have both sworn to protect.

It's true, our system as a whole is kind of screwed up, and we aren't the most intellectual nation in the world, which is proven by some of your responses. That's still no reason for us to constantly be begging the rest of the world for their approval.

(sarcasm) What exactly should we be so apologetic for (like the hippies always insinuate)? For saving the rest of the world from the Nazis or the Communists? Aw ok, I know what we should apologize for. We're just so awful for being the leader in the global community for giving our time, food, and money to charities world-wide(sarcasm).

Answer 1

I agree that there is too much of we're the bad guys syndrome going on in America. Compared to most countries outside the western world not only are we more economically well off, but have freedoms the majority of the world only dreams of. I hope that we can once again gain a sense of pride in not only who we are, but what we have achieved. In psychology not only can we project on the world, but also project upon ourselves. Let's try projecting something positive for a change.

Answer 2

Are you feeling OK? Are you trying to think today? Relax, take it easy. Think about something simple the best running back there ever was in the NFL or about your favorite Subway sandwich.
Relax, you really don't have to show your stupidity here. It will only make you depressed and give you feelings like you wish you were never born.
Take it easy, relax. Put another Ditto Head sticker on your SUV, go shooting your big gun, have a beer, become an organ donor, save the world for capitalism.
