    “Now, there’s one thing you might have noticed I don’t complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It’s what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you’re going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain’t going to do any good; you’re just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it’s not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here… like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There’s a nice campaign slogan for somebody: ‘The Public Sucks. F*ck Hope.’” – George Carlin

    But thats the tjing, voting usually does nothing. Most voters already know this and …they continue to vote.

    george carling told us this decades ago and most people refuse to accept he is right:

    He even added at the back part of that quote that I forgot that you cant get mad at him in particular cause he just doesnt vote.Ever! THE PUBLIC are the ones who vote so THEY should be getting mad at themselves for electing such awful ‘leaders’ and millionaires who ruin and steal everything and these millionairss in the Electoral College run the same jerking session every 4 years splat splat splat splat. Meanwhile, HE at home who didnt vote he’ll/have something to ‘show’ for his little ‘jerking session’ 😘

    This comment applies to pratically everywhere else on the planet not just america  .

    People can get mad at the Bolsheviks for not voting and for doing things ‘a certain way’ but we can all see that from 1917-1991 the Bolsheviks strategy of not voting ACTUALLY …worked! The living standards of a Slavic person from 1917-1991 was amongst the highest on the planet whether they were Ukranian or Kazakh and it has also been proven that from 1991-2001 no place on the planet experienced a sharper rise in poverty than…well… those same Slavic peoples! Hmmm how bout that? Same can be said for the Cubans and the Vietnamese and the Koreans

    I feel that Its better when you focus on things that you know that you have a close to 100% chance of achieving. Like doing a muscle up is a hard and fun skill to learn but obviously most people cant do it despite how fun it must be to do. But also it is definitely or close to 100% possible EVENTUALLY with years of consistent practice, right? Right.

    Losing your v-card? Getting into a relationship? Pft. You can try to do both of these things for your entire life and still fail even if you do everything right and are a kind person. Some of the worst humans in history like mobutu, leopold III, karl malone , suharto, pol pot , and adolph shitler ALL had wives And this is despite their wives and most othe rpeople on the planet knowing how selfish and deranged they were soooo…

    I feel thatbif a person feels like they should give up on dating cause theyve tried for the last 40 or so years and have failed through mostly no fault of their own? Its up to them.Its never a completely good idea or a bad idea to give up on something like dating cause it depends on cntext and who you are in life, where you are in life, what you want in life, and who else is in your life and wants to potentially see you as a partner . If you want to give ? You should give up cause YOU want to give up. You shouldnt continue to seek a partner cause of your parents’ or your community expectatoons of you or cause some sort of peer pressure. Do it for you. But giving up on things that simply require consistent long term effort that you will probably be able to do with a long enough consistent effort is just a bad idea most of the times IMO.
