I guess so. Some things just don't make sense but it's the way it is.
This is where I disagree. Very seldom will a politician do what they said they were going to do, and I don't agree with their policies anyways. People think they have power but they don't, it has to go through Congress and in some cases the Supreme Court before they can sign something off and people just think the president can do what he wants and that's not the case. I don't vote not because I don't understand politics and the candidates but rather for different reasons. I just don't believe in politics, it's a corrupt system. People voted Obama because he was black people voted Hillary because she was a woman, that's the wrong reasons to vote a president in and it shows the lack of knowledge society has when it comes to politics. Also, the election process is broken since you have major cities and most major cities lean to the left of the political parties which is why states like California, New York, Illinois, etc are democratic. Those 3 states have cities with the most populace and are liberal by a far margin. I used to live near Chicago (Illinois) and my aunt lives in Virginia so I hear about the East all the time and my father and grandfather both grew up Los Angeles. Yeah things have changed over the years but the politics are still the same down there.
I want it to happen too but it wont happen until we stop judging one another based on beliefs, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, etc. Take me and you for example. There's things we agree but at the same time disagree on, but we aren't attacking eachothers opinions. We're debating in a civil manner and being respectful of one anothers opinions, just wish all society was like this. Attacking ones beliefs isn't only disrespectful but it shows your lack of knowledge on the subject. People just need to learn to open their minds, you can learn a lot from someone with the opposite beliefs if you actually give that person a chance rather than attack them.
Then.. We got blacks killing cops and vise versa, wars over religion and ideology, etc.
I came up with a (can't think of the word right now my brains not working properly today) where if you were to put 100 people in a cage together with no weapons. 100 males in once cage and 100 females in the other cage and each cage has numerous ethnicity's. You then lock them in there together over a 24 hour time period. They will either band together as one and unite and learn to get along with one another or they'd team up with their ethnicity and resort to violence. In today's society, they'd resort to violence because some people aren't accepting of others different than them.
The thing is these "systems" don't work. They rob the population and basically enslave us and say what we can and can't do. They want to say it's the land of the free, yet I can't smoke a bowl of weed in my own home without getting in trouble if a cop were to find out. The welfare system is abused my many and they need to beef up who they give money to. I made roughly 1600 a month and I could afford a 2 bed 2 bath apt and other bills including food by myself. It's called budgeting and being responsible. I had a priority and that was to go to work to make sure I had a roof over mine and my sisters head, food in my belly, clothes on my back, gas in my car, etc. Sure, I was always broke but I was raised to not accept handouts and being able to take care of yourself and someone else, it just makes you feel good about yourself.
I'm so good at budgeting money that I smoked marijuana daily (around a .5 to a gram a day) and had the money to go out with friends occasionally when I wanted to. It was just hard to save up. But in life, you have to make sacrifices and if that sacrifice was not having weed to smoke for a week or going out on the weekend, then so be it. Paying my bills is more important. It's a struggle to say the least, but it grows you into a stronger individual. You either sink or you swim, I learned to swim. Was it hard? Definitely but that's life. It's not meant to be easy. If life was easy there'd be no point of life. It's a blessing and curse, you fail and learn from your mistakes, that's the beauty of life my friend.
On a serious note.. You're one of the few members on here that I'd like to meet one day. I like intellectual discussions.
