That being said. Man, oh man. You're comments make me LOL harder than I have in awhile.
Firstly at 26 you seem to have the world figured out better than most. I'm only 34 but I haven't figured out half of the shit you seem to have a handle on so major kudos sir.
Second, we do have it great here in the United States and a lot of folks to take that for granted and want to be all up in arms about stupid fucking shit that makes no goddamn sense. It reminds me of a status one of my cousins posted on Facebook the other day. He asked which would bother you more. Someone flying a Confederate flag or burning an American Flag. Most said they had no problem with burning our flag. Ok......well then get the fuck out of our country? That's my thought. I don't like either choice, but rednecks in Kansas have Confederate flags on their back windshield for God's sake, what can I do? It's not my fault they can't let go of their stupid racist ass old heritage. But the point is, it shows you what disrespect people have for the nation they live in. Fucking burn a flag, you ought to be kicked in the ball sack.
Third. There is NO good choice in this election periods, end of fucking story. Donald Trump is a bloated windbag who doesn't know the first thing about being Presidential. He's a liar and one of the worst people I've seen in policies and pretty much all around dick head. Hillary Clinton is an atrocious human being. She gets away with murder (literally), and has been a career criminal in politics since she got into them.
So we have a lying killer or a crazy man. Who the fuck would you vote for? I say, fuck the status quo. I'm voting third party. I have to stand for what I believe in regardless of what the actual outcome is. I could vote for one or the other, but they both are awful humans and I feel like I'm doing myself and the country a disservice by voting for them. Now one will still win, I have no grand delusions that my vote even fucking matters. But I have principals. If there was a lesser of two evils, then I'd vote for that person, but there isn't.
Hillary is far more qualified, I will give her that. Trump would not know what to do period. He has not a clue. He'd have to outsource everything just to not continue looking like a moron to the rest of the world and his own people.
Here's the important take away though in my opinion.
Immigration is an issue, but the issue is not one that many are thinking. A lot think the issue is we are letting drug dealers in murders in. Well guess what? The CIA has been working with drug cartels to their advantages for as long as they've existed, so it's our government doing it and I doubt that will change. The real issue is a money. We are a society corrupted by greed and self preservation. Letting people in is not a big issue, make the process easier for them. So what if all the Mexican's want to be here? So what if the Muslims do? So what if the Indians do? Who am I to say no?? We took this country by force, it is not ours to begin with. This is not a country run by Adolf Hilter, it's not supposed to be one where we segregate and keep people away. We are past all that.
I refer you to the Statue of Liberty.
New Colossus
"Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
When my Grand Father was in the military he went to Germany to fight for the freedom of the Jews and stop the atrociousness of what was happening. When Ronald Reagan was in office he demanded that the Berlin Wall be torn down. Etc...etc. We are a nation of hope. One that helps those in need with open arms. We are not a nation of people that turn our fucking backs on people, which is what Trump wants. FUCK TRUMP.
