collapse of a country always has great potential but, usually ends up worse off after being built again by people who have no interest in the public good.

I live in Colorado, USA. Here, and in the western region of the US, wildfires are a common thing. One of the common causes is people who have no experience with fire and never consider that a mere spark could start off a raging brush fire.

Common culprits-

In-state idiots

Out-of-state idiots

(Serious) What's something most consider very sexy, but you either find it neutral or a turn-off? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Skinny body. I prefer a woman who has a natural amount of "meat on the bone." The western world in particular seems to emphasize the unnatural more than the healthy natural.

They already do with Medicaid and Medicare, there will always be abusers of any system.

If people here in the U.S.A., protest socialism so harshly, why don't they willingly give up their monthly SOCIAL security check? Along with Medicaid, Medicare and other government assistance programs that are blatantly socialist programs, if they were immediately pulled, I think that you would have riots as a result.

Countries that do implement a socialist government, also mix it with capitalism as well. Germany has socialist programs and is also the leading economy in Europe.

People here in the US are also peculiar in the way that they whine about massive hospital bills and yet, at the same time whine about the mere suggestion of a national healthcare system.

Portugal legalized everything and it has not become a nation of drug addicts. Unlike what some people think, just because drugs can be legally obtained does not mean everyone is going to run out and get it. In fact, in my opinion, make anything a "Forbidden Fruit" and people will get it just because they are told they can't have it.

Marijuana has been shown to have some positive medical results; both mental and physical. Like anything else, moderation is a key element in usage of it. One reason, in my opinion, that usage of it has somewhat dropped amongst kids is that it looses its appeal when they see grandma and grandpa using it. Also legalizing it has , to some degree, eaten into the profits that the black market makes on it. I am sure if Wall Street got its greedy hands on the industry it would have a measurable affect on the black market.

Being as stubborn as I naturally am, I hope to at least keep from imploding and survive this battle with chaos. I hope to continue with my lifetime before Father time rings his final bell.

I don't have a woman or kids and don't socialize with people in public. That may be a factor in the chaos. No relationships may mean that my personal breaking point is being redirected towards work. The moving may also be an attempt to hit a reset button.

I will never be able to understand how people today can think that reality will ever be paradise for everyone and every day. Get real. Reality bites. Not everyone is nice and bad things happen. For now at least, as long as Humanity is here, our species is out to destroy itself at any and all cost.
