Well, to contribute to this thread... The USA has been steadily going downhill.
The economy is f*cked... but that's not pertinent to the subject at hand.
The social system is again, f*cked. If you don't just on the bandwagon and do your own thing, you're criticized. If you look different, you're criticized. But once again, irrelevant to the thread.
The government and law system has been complete corrupted.
First, we have people pressing charges for completely stupid reasons. (McDonalds coffee is so hot, I burned myself! I demand $26 million!) The sad thing is, all these people can do this and get away with it.
Second, the law enforcement in this country has become completely run by people on powertrips. This is what leads to people being beat down, etc.
Third, the government sucks at lawmaking and controlling the citizens. Of course, everyone wants to be free and all, but look at the US citizens... A very large percentage consist of gangsters, drug addicts, criminals, welfare dependants, spoiled children. Should these people be allowed to exist? IMO, no. They do not contribute anything, are not a benefit to the country, and bring the country further into debt. If the government tries to pass a new law trying to control something, these people will obviously be against whatever law it is that is trying to regulate them.
Another thing, the "innocent until proven guilty" idea has been completely reversed. Last fall, I had a complication that I was going through the court system for. Because of this, I was let go from my job. During the time I was going through trial, I could not get a job because the pending charge would be listed on my background check and would prevent me from obtaining a job. I was eventually found innocent, which I was 100%, but it's prevented me from working a taxable job for many months. Innocent until proven guilty my ass... It's turned into Guilty Until Proven Innocent By Unreasonable Doubt.
