Darth Revan of the Sith Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ckf9rHtn7Ag[/media] Discuss "The Machine" the United States of America and what you feel about this Super Organism. The Super Organism is a giant collection made up by components and regardless of what most of the little components want the Super Organism does what "It" wants because it is in it's own power. Discuss what you think about the Super Organism. According to the video do you agree with any of the following: *The President has almost no power in reality. *The United States is a machine and the President is just a cog that keeps it going. *The United States is a Super Organism that refuses the collective input of its components. If you disagree then why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Great, it's the amazing douchebag. Summary please? OT: CISPA and the entire Government can go suck it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simping For Hina Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 What is CISPA actually? I never cared much of what the government does to be truly honest. If it doesn't affect me too much, I really don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMRenji Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Seems almost criminal at a glance. But yea, I didn't watch much, so a summary would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Zero Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/282040-cispa/ Don't see the difference, and The Amazing Atheist doesn't deserve his own thread. [b]Edit:[/b] Unlocked due to not being a CISPA thread, but a thread on the "Super Organism" that is America. If you want to discuss CISPA take it to the linked thread.

Tentacruel Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 America kinda sucks. Our polarized politics and two-party system is killing us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Revan of the Sith Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 [quote name='Comrade Trollestia' timestamp='1335724401' post='5928584'] America kinda sucks. Our polarized politics and two-party system is killing us. [/quote] True, however it appears our generation refuses to do anything about it. Occupy Wall Street was an example of actually showing the government we won't take any more sh*t, but over the last ten years that has been the only thing we have really done to prove ourselves.

Tentacruel Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Republicans: Can't let Democrats do anything. At all. Ever. Or do anything ourselves. Because that's what true patriots do. Democrats: We're so much smarter than Republicans and anything remotely compromising is extremist nonsense.

Both concepts are fairly good except that communism tends to mess up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L0SS Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 I misread this as 'Super Orgasm', which on reflection would have been better. As an English citizen, I can't really comment on America's political motivations; but I was always under the impression that England was just an inferior version of America, which tells you a lot...
