I look at it like this. America is all about money. Its not about life, liberty, and all that other shyt, because those were just excuses to go to war back in 1776. For years I tried to figure out what was the "Culture" of America. Travelling to different countries I think I kind of figured it out.
The culture is violence and our love of violence. We love some damn violence. Our biggest holiday? The Superbowl. We love guns,money, sex, and drugs. We all have a religion we follow or choose not to follow but it isn't as big or as serious as we lead others on to believing. We lock up people not to rehabilitate but to make money off of. Now, some people may say, "Hey that's not me" but collectively that's US. We live the fast life. Fast food, fast cars, fast women. The most simplest tools in America become "leaders" or promoted because this country is ran by rich corporations who really run the show. Our culture is promoted and sold by them. Everything that Americans think they love and know is corporate owned. That's why drugs will never leave the streets and neither will guns. Too much money to be made. And if it is good for the people but bad for big money, big money will win out at the end of the day.
We just watched a man being burned to death on national television then switched to the State of the Union. Its just what we accept as a normal. The biggest gang in the world is the United States of America...bang bang. Get down or lay down. That's just who we are. Its just the way it is in my opinion.
