Lackey said:are you?
ampersand said:I'm not the one talking **** about America.
ampersand said:I'm not the one talking **** about America.
Lackey said:so... are you "actually going out and doing something with your beliefs?"
Darthphere said:I thought talking **** about America was correct under what I like to call the First Amendment.
Lackey said:your beliefs
you do have beliefs, don't you?
ampersand said:I never said there was anything wrong with it, but I think it's extremely hypocritical the way so many people complain of how corrupt the US is and yet they live here and don't do anything about it. I'm not lying to myself.
Darthphere said:Then youre doing somehting about it? I ask what can we do other than ***** about stuff? Protest? like that works. Sign Petitions? Like that works. The only thing we can actually do is start a revolution and damn it im too lazy.
ampersand said:Beliefs is a very general word. If you are talking politics, I can't say I am because I haven't learned enough to FORM beliefs.
Lackey said:yes, beliefs is a general word... which would make it an easy question to answer since you got a wide range of beliefs to choose from, not just political.
ampersand said:In that case, yes I am doing something with my beliefs. I live my life by them.
Lackey said:as does just about every person
ampersand said:This is going nowhere
Lackey said:of course it's going nowhere, because it started with this: "Are any of you actually going out and doing something with your beliefs?"
Now go figure out your own political beliefs before you criticize someone elses.
ampersand said:And yet, I never criticized anyone's beliefs. You took half of my statement and twisted the words around. Good job
I never said there was anything wrong with it, but I think it's extremely hypocritical the way so many people complain of how corrupt the US is and yet they live here and don't do anything about it. I'm not lying to myself.
ampersand said:I have a question. Tons of people on this and other boards talk a big game when it comes to trashing Bush and America in general. Are any of you actually going out and doing something with your beliefs?
Lackey said:Besides that...
the whole tone of your questions and statements in this thread has been one of criticism... anyone can see it.
ampersand said:I don't know what to believe because I just don't know enough yet to be able to form a viable oppinion. So no, I am not "doing something about it".
As for your other points, stop *****ing and moaning about something you aren't willing to try and do something about.

The only possibility is violent revolution (which is what our nation was FOUNDED on), but our blind desire for "security" has put all of the power in the hands of the corrupt. Now revolution is an impossibility.
So b**** b**** b**** is the only option left to either side. Enjoy. Die. Blahblahblah, repeat.
