America - Were NOT number 1.

Everyone's heard this "America - We're number 1". You know, at one time that was true. We were number one, but now it's just pathetic to say that. WHY ?? Because we're HARDLY number one anymore. We just become a lazy country who let a lot of other countries pass us by while we weren't looking. Don't get me wrong, I love it here, but it used to be so much better. I also say this knowing that there are PLENTY of places that are ALOT worse than here. I'm just tired of everyone thinking that were still number one, because you know what, were not. And unless your going to help get us back on top, then quit acting like it.

I do have some facts to back this up, just so you know I am not pulling this topic out of my ass, which is where I get most of my material by the way.


Education (aptitude results) - 96th

Agriculture growth - 55th

Export growth - 26th

Murders - 24th highest


But it's not all doom and gloom, there are alot of things were doing GREAT at.

Debt - NUMBER 1

CO2 emissions - NUMBER 1

Health care spending - NUMBER 1

Abortions - 2nd highest

Life expectancy - 22nd

Obesity - You guessed it - NUMBER 1

Teen pregnancy - NUMBER 1

Divorce Rate - NUMBER 1

Well, I guess we are number 1 in many areas, I just wouldn't be to proud of them myself. So let's all start buying T-shirts that say "America - were 96th", then I'll start backing you up again.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, we are fat, lazy, spoiled people, and it's starting to show in the world statistics.

The sad thing is I doubt it will change. We've grown so accustomed to driving around in our SUV's with our cell phones, and $50,000 Visa limit, we don't care. We are too spoiled to want to change. And what's the worst that's going to happen, you file bankruptcy. Oh my God, however will you live then ?? The government will bail you out of your debt so you can start over with a clean plate. Wow, what horrible punishment for your fiscal irresponsibility. Of course, if you look at our government for spending advice, then I can see how you got in the mess your in.

There is one thing I don't like about America, good people have to bail out deadbeat people. You know what I say? "Eat my NUTS!" YOU got yourself into a mess, YOU get yourself out. If people had to work at solving some problems around here instead of always finding a loophole to weasel out of, then maybe you'd have some moral ethics and guilt to WANT to fix your own problems.

So, America the Great and the beautiful. Yeah, sure. Just not as great and beautiful as it once was, and sadly, probably not ever again.

Hmmm, hard work pays off, but lazy people will never amount to crap. HOLY SHIT !! I AGREE !! Maybe there is a God !
