Wussification of America

[MisterJH]

Thoughts, comments, theories? Its hard to deny its happening, just why/how its gotten so bad so fast? Im just interested to hear what yall think

[DylanW18]

Although I do think America is definitely in decline, it's kinda out of perspective


Before social networking, the newspaper or news was really the only way to spread information. So back then, they didn't hear about as much stuff because it didn't travel. Of course that's not to blame for 100% of crappy stuff currently, but accounts for maybe 10%

I think another thing is that a lot of people really just don't want to work so theyre lazing of the work of others.

I just feel like everyone is slowly turning into a prepubescent girl slowly but surely.. Everything is so 'offensive' and must be 'politicall correct' because we wouldnt dare want to hurt any 'feelings' ugh.

i have to say that part of it is the no child gets left behind thing who cares if one person wins and the other loses. thats how the world works but in schools they give everyone the same thing regardless of how they actually did so the people who work hard stop working as hard because they dont get anything that the kid that sleeps all day gets so then the whole system becomes a contest to see who can do the leadt amount of work and still be able to go to the next grade or to college or a job. this process is the government slowly becoming communist (not really but its close to the same thing) and it needs to stop. if a kid cant pass a class without getting left behind then they need to be left behind. as a person with adhd and a really bad learning disability in reading and writing i can say that i had to work harder then everyone else to read and write better but i still tried. and if i would have been held back then i would have had more time to learn the stuff i needed to learn.

That's what pisses me off.  I don't think I know how to be offended.  Call me what you will and I'll be a bit annoyed that you're wasting my time, but not "offended," whatever that means.  It's just easy to call racism or say that someone is homophobic these days.  In 7th-8th grade, my friends and I called each other "fags" and "queers" all the time, but we knew it was all just in good fun.  Now, if you were to call someone that, even if you're joking around, you'll get called a bigot and various PG-9 inappropriate things.

Such as the kid who made a FINGER GUN I KINDERGARTEN AND GOT IN MAJOR TROUBLE PERHAPS?!

I agree with the above poster save one thing:were moving to socialism not communism. Also thats more the dumbification of america, although it ties in. Mostly im referrig to people to spineless to stand up for themselves that they have toget government and taxpayer money involved because theyre too upset that someone called them a name, etc etc. there no such thing as 'being a man' anymore, its like that is frowned upon. I always have and always will be horribly politically incorrect, because people need to toughen up, not remove any and all controversy. Its like weve decided after millions of years that we can defy the laws of nature, have everyone succees and get along. But common sense here shows how ridiculous that is! We cant succeed without others failure as a benchmark! Without conflict we cannot know how to obtain and keep the peace! Humans cannot turn nature into a utopia, its been proven countless times! But its a losing battle, soon enough i wont be able to make fart jokes without being sued by homosexuals claiming im a racist...

I'd like to support this a bit: I'm in middle school and at lunch teachers always make us get quiet so they can make announcements. People are always stupid and are talking when they're not supposed to be and we ALL get assigned seats. Not "detention for all the troublemakers" like it should be, they punish the whole for the mistakes of a few

[MisterJH]

Because itd be 'wrong' to get people in trouble for breaking the rules, thats sooo wrong! How does that make ANY sense?!(sarcasm)

[MisterJH]

Dimir: realize this is propaganda, likely encouraged by the government(assuming here youre in private school)
They want to reinforce the idea that everyones business is your business, so that later in life hopefully youll be horribly judgmental and try and control what other people do, because in middle school you were taught its your burden as well


Dont give in! Free your mind from propaganda!

[MarduArrow]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! America is nearly ready to fall to Canadian invasion! 😈

[FlickerYourOwnIdentity]

Getting in major trouble for a finger gun??  HAH!

What about the kid who got in trouble for having a pop tart bitten into a similar shade of a finger gun.

Or how some female celebrities are trying to ostracize the word bossy.

How about the man forced to vacate his house because he refused to put away his American Flag.


I hate people.

And don't forget the kid who was expelled for bringing a nerf gun to school

[FustyDavorite]

America's society has become an advocate of intolerance and ignorance, and turned away from rationale and justice. That's the best way I could sum it up in one sentence.

[MisterJH]

If something like this can be summed up, rhen yea thats pretty solid.
