I am more interested in getting you to see things ahead of everyone else so that you may make the decisions that will improve your own life. History will proceed no matter how annoyed you are with the US but understanding it and the present may yet allow you to avoid misfortune.(11-19-2016, 05:44 AM)Galen Wrote:Not interested and I am done with America. They will destroy themselves and bloody deserve it for their behaviour towards each other. I will simply sit and wait for the day they destroy themselves but hope they wake up before then. I am done. They are full of irrationality and it is destroying them while they busy themselves pointing fingers at the enemy....their own. Yep I am done.(11-19-2016, 05:34 AM)taramarie Wrote:I asked you to look at Trump's appointments in order to understand what is really happening and to take the measure of the man for yourself.

Just one. I am talking about all of the extreme partisan behaviour I see daily from Americans. They would rather stand there and tear themselves apart than discuss anything. They seem to scream to the wind and hope it sticks while cupping their hands over their ears to whatever the opposite side has to say. Sometimes they shut them down immediately with derogatory labels like sexist or racist without even knowing if it is true or not. And even if true does it solve anything. It appears to me all they know is how to tear things down and not build back up. If Trump wants to bring Americans together he has a hell of a job ahead of him. I would be surprised if he did. I have my doubts...like seriously I do not think he will be able to pull it off. It would take a frigging nuclear war to get many over there to pull their heads out of their asses to pull together. I am seriously just fed up with them over there right now. I wash my hands of them. They are broken and continue to shatter their country and honestly do not give a shit it seems. Boomers like you know who are going to get Millennials and some xers into some war for their uncompromising, intolerant and inability to listen ways just like the civil war era and get them killed for their ideals. This is what it is building to whether right at home or overseas. Best of luck guys but do not say the kiwi did not warn you. I wash my hands of you guys. This will only end in more grief and possible bloodshed. The world warned you all. The sooner Americans wake up the better. You do not build up by further tearing things down or people in some cases. You build bridges between the two. This is the last thing I will say on that. If people do not understand that, well guess they have to learn the hard way.(11-19-2016, 04:38 AM)taramarie Wrote: "One side will have the numbers to quash the other.

.......maybe in my way or the highway America....
Do yourself a favor and look at Trump's appointments in light of the promises on his campaign web site. Tell me what you think.
As for Trump, I will say this: By becoming 45th President he has accomplished the impossible. By the usual standards of the last eighty years he should have never pulled this off. Who knows? Trump may yet beat the odds again. I am in a position to know because statistically I should have been dead many years ago.
