I have to laugh every time I hear or see someone say that X is "ruining this country". The only thing that is actually, seriously, directly ruining this country is Mother Nature. I mean, hurricanes, tornados, hail storms, erosion, rust, wave action, floods, sandstorms...they do WAY more damage than another social issue. When was the last time gay marriage collapsed a bridge? Or the confederate flag caused billions in damage? If you want to be mad at something for ruining the country, she's the one you should be protesting!

There has to be a parade for something out there that collapsed a bridge because of too much weight on it.

The people ruining our country are those who spend too much time pontificating about people ruining the country and not enough time doing.

I once read an article on the degeneration of our youth. It was a scathing account of the total lack of respect our youth show for societal values, norms, their elders, etc. The article cited multiple examples of youth’s dangerously rebellious gravitation towards inappropriate music, dress, promiscuity etc.

Well, the article was written by Aristotle 2,000 years ago so relax.

Same sex marriage for example…when you think about it, all marriages are same sex; get married and then it’s the same sex over and over

Usually a truck or SUV that has been modified to look like an off-road vehicle that will never see dirt.

A night on the town will usually be prefaced with a statement such as; "Bro, lets go hit Ronnie's for a movie!"

What part of "I'm from from the government and I'm here to help" is not comforting?
