Most Americans are stupid...it isn't cool to be a geek! Everyone wants to be cool, therefore, they don't value an education. Everyone gets bored and needs entertainment, so why not watch the latest shallow, physics-bastardizing, explosion-fest that Hollywood has released in order to prevent having any thoughts!? Sparkling vampires? FREAKING SWEET! Self-absorbed, shallow, materialistic characters? We completely identify with them! They're the coolest!
It gets worse with each generation. Idiocracy is going to be looked back on as a fairly accurate prediction in 50 years...but only by those with the mental capacity to do so.

To the rest of the world: It's too late for us, America could use a good carpet bombing!

Must.......resist......temptation........nope can't do it.


While I appreciate your candor concerning Hollywood's fascination with stupid things, I don't appreciate the utter disregard for my country. Besides the fact, Im pretty sure this is not the place to have a country bashing session. I believe the original post was pointed directly at the rediculous fanatacism of teenagers(which btw started with a british band called the Beatles). And I think what is making me really want to defend, is the very last sentence. Carpet bomb really? Not cool, not cool at all.

It's my country too. I care for it's future. I'd rather not see the entire country brought to it's knees because the next generation was too busy idolizing vampires on the TV screen to educate themselves...there won't be enough McJobs to go around...

Started long before then, and isn't restricted to teenagers. What about Sherlock Holmes, or Jane Austin? Even then, this is only commercial fanaticism. What about sporting fanaticism? We can go back to the invention of the Olympics, or the Coliseum. Religious fanaticism anyone? Fanaticism has been around for a long time, and it hasn't killed us off quite yet.
