-- Posted by Mein Alias at 6:57 pm on July 2, 2009 People honestly believe if we vote Republican then all the problems go away. People honestly believe if we vote Democratic then all our problems go away. People honestly believe if we vote Ron Paul then all our problems go away, or at least we'll be too stoned to notice any problems. I don't think Americans* will ever be happy. The best we can hope for is 60% contentment. -- Posted by utheh at 6:58 pm on July 2, 2009 Ron Paul had it right -- Posted by ok 2b myself at 6:58 pm on July 2, 2009 If we vote to overthrow the gov't all our problems will go away. -- Posted by rivedi at 6:58 pm on July 2, 2009 "America" will never be happy because "America" is a country, not an individual. Nations don't have emotional states (or brains). Aiming to please groups of people rather than individual tends to lead to failure. -- Posted by Mein Alias at 6:58 pm on July 2, 2009 Quote: from utheh at 6:58 pm on July 2, 2009 Ron Paul had it right Shut up you pot head. -- Posted by Total Destruction at 6:59 pm on July 2, 2009 Yes, its a little thing called Fascism, because if the military had a firm grip on everything, than no one would be able to complain -- Posted by Mein Alias at 6:59 pm on July 2, 2009 Quote: from rivedi at 6:58 pm on July 2, 2009 "America" will never be happy because "America" is a country, not an individual.

American is a demographic. -- Posted by nefari0us at 7:00 pm on July 2, 2009 This is a very true statement. -- Posted by Aria of Silence at 7:02 pm on July 2, 2009 Yes.

American is a demographic. Don't insult me for inaccuracies you need to edit out later, dude. I know happy Americans. Do you mean making the totality of Americans happy? That seems unlikely, as the only trait they have in common is being from the United States, so their criteria for happiness vary wildly. -- Posted by Mein Alias at 7:14 pm on July 2, 2009 Quote: from rivedi at 7:05 pm on July 2, 2009 Quote: from Mein Alias at 6:59 pm on July 2, 2009 I said American angst, you dumb-fucking-cunt.

That seems unlikely, as the only trait they have in common is being from the United States, so their criteria for happiness vary wildly. I made a typo. Nice job cherry picking my argument with two left out letters, jackass. I meant the totality. Hence referring to Americans, and not "People who live in Kansas" or whatever the fuck you thought of when you saw "America" -- Posted by rivedi at 7:45 pm on July 2, 2009 Well, clearly there should be a solution to the angst of each American, though there is no logical reason one would expect there to be a single, individual solution to the angst of hundreds of millions of Americans, since they don't necessarily share any attribute other than hailing from America.
