Don't you think that it's time to stop moving backwards, and to actually be progressive? There is too much ignorance in the world today. There is too much fear, inflicted by idiotic and biased news channels, hoping for more views. We need to change our way of life within the next 200 years or so, or the human race will be extinct.
Humans are clearly becoming far too dependent on technology. With the inventions of cell phones, we nearly signed a death warrant on the human race. We most certainly destroyed our culture. Cell phones are a great invention, but they need to be used in moderation. People who send those chain text messages deserve to be shot in the kneecaps. They're polluting our society with there idiotic ramblings of their 'BFF Jill'
I honesty think that commercial (the bff Jill one) single handedly killed our culture, and any class that America had left.
The internet (although this is some kind of ironic, oxymoronic hypocrisy) has also somewhat ruined our society. The internet was created for communication purposes. Going on AIM for several hours of the day does not count as communication, it's just ridiculous. And what would you be talking about on AIM? The latest gossip, random bullshit, pointless horseshit that you managed to pull out of the deepest orifice of the internet and somehow wanted to share with your douchey little friends. How can you do this for several hours a day?
The end of reading has almost arrived. Every time I see somebody's Myspace that says 'I hate reading' or 'Reading is for nerds' I die a little bit inside.
Books are the only plausible source of information that hasn't been polluted by conservatives (they own most of the newspapers) or gullible jackasses (news stations and news radio.) or conformist emos (The Internet). It seems that people don't like reading, because it's too difficult? That's complete bigotry. This just shows the class of America. "I don't like reading because it's too challenging. It's much to difficult to do."
[Y]our generation is the future. I am not looking forward to the future. What will it be like? Nuclear war would be soothing compared to what the dismal future of America is going to be. Thanks to (y)our generation, we can't get it through (y)our thick skulls that we need to change, and we need to change NOW.
Our Music Industry has gone to hell in the last decade. With the invention of better synthesizers, we can 'fake it' a little bit easier. 'Musicians', if they can even be called that, of today simply walk into the studio, with some stereotypical lyrics, hardly sing into the recorder. The producer uses synthesizers to make it sound a little bit more 'in tune' to the beat, (which is obviously created using a computer.)
I hesitate to even call this shit music. Music doesn't require talent, but it requires the use of actual instruments! Too many smart and true musicians are leaving the music industry for two reasons:
1.) Music websites such as iTunes sell single songs. Rather then promoting the whole album, and keeping the music business alive, they want to make it easier on the posers who want to have some 'Avril Lavigne' on there iPod, but not to have a full album
2.) Because of the lack of talent, actual musicians know that the corporate record deals are greedy, and would do anything to manipulate the artist, to do anything the producer wants them to.
The only solution to our music crisis is to stop selling single songs. If you want to pretend you're into music, than you should buy the whole goddamn album, and then you can actually brag to your whore-friends about your terrible musical taste.
This would not only bring more profit into the music industry, but it would require artists to have more musical ability, instead of having one hit song on the radio, being played repetitively, and to actually sell a whole album, without the use of corporate ads, or manipulative producers.
Our television industry has been going downhill for such a long time, and it's highly unlikely that it will rise again. Because of the gullibility of the lazy American race, we'll believe anything we hear on television. The reason for this is, well, simply because it's on television. If your favorite news station says we're all going to die in 2012, then all viewers of that station would panic, instead of doing the research themselves.
The idiocy of Americans is unacceptable. The bigotry of our corporations, especially since they run our society, is despicable. These disgusting redneck slobs that say they are proud of there country are idiots. Patriotism in America is so close to a Nationalist Fascism, it's almost horrifying.

You have an interesting outlook on life-fortunately, change will happen, and who knows, maybe for the better this time.
Great post.
