sois Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 [quote name='CTBengalsFan' post='704571' date='Sep 23 2008, 02:59 PM']K, let's put everyone in debt in prison. Great idea! Let's further fill our already full prisons! Let's add to our lead as the country that incarcerates the largest percentage of our population! Hey, prison building is a growth industry isn't it! I was assuming you were joking? Cmon, man.[/quote] Of course I'm not serious. I'm just totally frustrated that I have lived in poverty for the last few years paying every spare cent I make toward student loans and the government is about to bail out a large portion of my irresponsible peers. I get the whole reason behind it. I know our GSE's can't fail or else it is a detriment to so many other things, most importantly the credit of the country. However, it saddens me that I am surrounded by absolute dumbasses. Voting doesn't matter. My vote will be cancelled out tenfold by retards. Have yall ever seen Idiocracy? That is what I feel about the general American public. People are ridiculously stupid and irresponsible. Why should I even try. PS. I also feel there are too many people in prison, but that is a different story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
