Yes. There's no discipline in schools or at home, or to authorities (compared to other countries), there's almost too /much/ free speech (people suing everyone over the tiniest things), and too much blaming. Especially parents. Parents that always blame the government, school, media, etc. even though it's they're own fault they can't take care of their own kids.

Amazing I was just iM'ing someone saying that exact thing.  Yes, I am sick of the fake people, the people living in denial, the fact that people think pop/country music is good along with mcdonalds and reality shows being popular!  Where am I?  What happened to where America was supposed to be going ??  I love what America can be and what it has been, but we've lost our stride here a little bit people.  Yes, I am sick of it all.......We're overindulging ourselves with fakeness & stupidity to deny the fact that we're living in an Military-Industrialized bubble making us insane and completely stupid.  Of course, that's just my opinion....I could be wrong.   good luck everyone!

No, they've just been snowed by a government voted in people who believe that xenophobia is the answer to everything, and that that should be exported.  No compassion for fellow person (unless they have money ), and a little too much evangelical religion in places it doesn't belong.  The first fight they need to do is actually listen to what candidates are saying, decide how much is bs and how much is the truth, eliminate anything that is prefaced by 9-11, god, country, truth, and listen to what is prefaced by real people words.  They keep throwing bones to the masses (like the now internal crisis of illegal mexicans - like that's not new - and North Korea - which is a scary thing to get back into).  Good luck on this one.

According to the Repugs., yes. How dare you question your government!? This is the mentality that has "crashed" our great country in only 6 years.

Honestly, Im dying to leave myself.  The US is becoming very hated by the rest of the world and it's getting kinda scary living here.  The government has completly ruined our relationship with anywhere outside the US.  By killing innocent people...the US has build up some very bad Karma...and sooner or later we will pay for what Bush has done and continues to do.

good news doesnt sell. the ultimate end here is money. sensationalism is the point.  and making people create more is the aim.

Oh, I'm disappointed, but not shocked. We know that the tides of power shift in this country, for better or worse, but at no time should anyone give up hope that we can as a whole be better. I don't agree with Dem policies and initiatives 95% of the time, but the American people who voted have asked that these people be given a chance again. I think domestically this will mean... a new social program here, gridlock over it there, etc, etc. But all things to debate in the near future (at least we are not shooting each other over the results!)\n\nRegardless of the situation, all should remember, we are a country about peaceful exchanges of power. And as I mentioned in other posts, we needn't forget that is a blessing in itself.\n\nOf course, it's time to start working on that next election....! ;-)

I think there is a new world coming, I call it the future. I don't know if it will be better or worse than the world we have now. Bush will be out of office soon; that's one bright spot. I'm inclined to think it will be worse simply because there will be more people around in the future, and that can only spell trouble. As for what I'm doing to make it better...not much. I am trying not curse around children as often, I guess that's something.

That's just it, though, we're not. What we ARE is too gullible, idly standing there while we get sent on the Mother Of All Guilt Trips by this or that organization for the advancement of whatever they feel like advancing this week. To add insult to injury, part of the taxes we pay goes to promote all of this. This is, of course, all in the name of 'civil rights'. \n\nMy point remains that if America's so evil, then whatinhell are we doing sending billions in aid around the world, trying to help other countries fix their 'bad'? What's up with that? If we're going to be really evil, then let's just keep all the money for ourselves! Instead of letting foreign countries drill sideways into our collective wallets, why not just pull the plug on ANY foreign aid, period? \n\nTruth be known, if not for decades of humanitarianism, there's a lot of countries around the world that certainly wouldn't be as well-off today as they are. \n\nMy question is, what happens when America goes broke? Game over, end of story, welfare check bounces, lights off, the whole trip. Then what? End of the fairytale...then what'll they do? It'll be back to rock soup and candlelight shadow-shows on the wall, and you're making your own candles for that. It's been barely 8 decades since the Great Depression...stock market crash and so forth...wild stock speculation, bank runs, it could get ugly again...and uglER, considering that there's 3 times as many people as back then.  But yeah, america's the devil etc etc etc ...

believe us we are we are beating ourselves up for letting it get this bad , lol as far as tv goes all i see is tear jerker stories about the poor illegals . our side is hardly covered but that doesn't matter because most Americans are sick of illegals come legal or not at all.  and i think the media is starting to catch up with the rest of us. it  could have been all that demanding and stupid move to change the national anthem , or flag thing ? or could  it be old news is no news anyway i would like ask you the same question no criticism about mexico strange

I do not agree with what our government is doing, but I believe that has a lot to do with the Bush administration. I've never been so disapointed int my own country before. Honestly, I am scared of our well being because of what they are doing.

Eye-opening, a wake up call. It's time America woke up to the fact that these people are out to kill us, destroy our way of life and put their own perverted system in control of our country and the rest of the world. \n\n When they say they intend to destroy us, we perhaps better pay attention!! To do otherwise would either be naive or unconcerned about our nation's well being.

Man you people need to get off the same rhetoric that you have been thinking and saying.  All I ever hear is Bush’s illegal war and Clinton’s secret bombings with jets painted to be from NATO. You know the question is not even about that.  Did you know that there were draft riots because people did not want to fight in the civil war?  \nIf you look at the untied states over the past 100 years you can see the changes.  Every generation has gotten a little worse.  Now all you see on TV is sex and violence.  This has been a slow growing thing until computers. Now we are moving faster and losing all the respect for each other but mostly for ourselves.  This nation should be ashamed of the things we do. I know that the question is about when did we lose respect for the presidency but you can not just say that that is all we have lost respect for.   As far as the presidency goes I would say it started to get real ugly when we were losing so many men in Vietnam. People are all happy when in the times of WWII and we were winning.  Thousands of people died but we were seeing much progress.  When we were getting no real results people got mad and blamed the president.  Now that is when I can say flat out blatant disrespect for the president came to rise.  Which right about the time that the liberal party was hijacked by radicals.  To think that it was once a great party.
