I think they have been trying to cut out the "middle man" for decades and he's almost gone. It's sad people need to hear something like this from this boring asshole to start those gears turning in their brains. ...or find out about how much they need to get involved with the "pickens plan" etc. to start taking charge of their own future.

We are happy, I have my cell phone gizmos and when I wake up in the morning I shit on porcelain. I'm a happy camper :D Thank you Jesus

If you ever watch CNN ( i do addict). I"ve watched over time how they've turned the news into the latest "cheeseburger gimmick". They've got the voice of Darth Vader saying "The most trusted place for news". It's like all the little specials are "The warriors of GOD' ... ever watch Anderson Cooper ... they are starting to use old internet marketing tricks in the news now to keep people viewing the ads. I watch cnn too much , anyway thanks for the vid.

It's always been an "Empire" for some and always will be. You're just a squirrel trying to get a nut

[2012]

let me just add ...
I'm proud to be an American.
I just don't like some of the things going on right now. So what ...

Yeah, they are good stories. I just remember when they were called "Stories", or "Documentaries" ... I'm not that old either. I'm just talking about how they sensationalize everything like they sell the latest new cheeseburger at Carls Jr. ... The way we are fed our news has changed for the worst. It's not a video game man. People die for realsies ...

CNN reminds me of the Muppets.

I would not call David Simon a boring asshole. If you ever seen the show you'd understand that it refelcts American society like nothing else seen before. At least IMO. This guy is a genius.

Fucking abolish welfare and unemployment except for those who are seriously disabled, not these fucking crack mothers who pop out babies. Poor lazy fucks will be forced to get their shit together real fucking quick or perish. Or they will start robbing and stealing and killing even more than they do now, in which case the "shoot first law" should go into effect for all 50 states. The herd will be gradually thinned of useless pieces of fatherless, valueless shit. Drug addicts who are arrested: no fines/penalties...only mandatory sterilization. Or better yet, offer 10 grand to every crackhead willing to get sterizlized, male or female.

Sorry, drunk rant

I've always agreed that the only way to go in the world is DOWN!!!

We are polluting the land, the air, everything, and we are using up all the natural resources, some which are irreplacable.

Seriously, we are slowly dooming the planet Earth and EVERYTHING in it

[2012]

we are slowly dooming the planet Earth

I think the Earth will do just fine. We just won't be here ... happy birthday!
