Why are Americans so stupid?
The ignorant common masses care more about the Kardashians or the VMAs than whether or not their own currency is being debased.
They keep having unplanned children as if we did not live in the 21st Century and have condoms available. They do not even realize that some child is going to have to make their children's clothes in a sweatshop half a world away just so that their kid can end up a fat, brain-dead, corporate slogan repeating troglodyte. Not to mention that their children will be expected to pay off this enormous debt being amassed from gallivanting military conquests all over the globe.
The proles keep chugging away at their shitty corporate jobs and never question if things could be any different. They lack the will to advocate for their own destiny and never realize that their taxes are going to the rich in the form of corporate welfare, bailouts, and handouts. Meanwhile the lower classes are continually being chastised for any public help they may receive, which is a problem within itself.
As long as they keep buying new shit they are happy... alas creating more debt, most people do not believe in pay as you go these days, and wind up forever an indentured servant.
The youngest in society are shipped off to fight in conflicts that have nothing to do with anyone domestically. Usually off to some third world nation where some jerkoffs can just kill brown people with a drone or missile from a safe and comfortable distance.
The United States is making it harder to obtain an education even though other countries are producing more engineers. The military is relying heavily on drones while some Chinese or other person is just going to find a way to hack them. Then the military is going to have its thumb up it's ass because it's cant find anyone in America with two brain cells to rub together to stop the problem. Good going.
The people here are so fucking fat that they have decided to stop walking and just cart themselves on electric scooters around Walmart. I mean, how pitiful is that?
It's no wonder the Elites of society get away with murder and robbery. The populace is too fat, stupid, and cowed to do anything about it. As long as they can glue themselves to their television and post more pictures of their stupid kids their lives are fine.

The Huffington Post Sucks
The Huffington Post sucks. While touting itself as the "liberal progressive" news site on the Internet it instead just shows that it is another mindless bastion of "Infotainment." The founder, Arianna Huffington, is just an egocentric maniac concerned with her own status as a celebrity.
Although the Huffington Post would most like to see themselves as a credible news source like The Guardian or The Christian Science Monitor the truth is that they can not do this. A major reason would be the astounding amount of Infotainment garbage on their website and particularly the front page as well. In other words these are stories which are more entertaining than informative.
A sad example would be Aloya Minkovski who used to have her own provocative and hard hitting Aloyna Show on Russia Today networks. After she was recruited into the HuffPost fold she now does a lot of stuff like interview celebrities such as members of Sum 41 and Tom Green. What once was a serious journalist asking important questions now has become no more than an Entertainment Tonight type of television personality. She has since been replaced with the likes of Abby Martin and RT has been the better for it ever since. It's ironic, if you watch some old episodes of the Alonya show you can watch her criticize her future employer.
Much of HuffPost is filled with fluff articles about John Stamos, Miley Cyrus, and other celebrities. These get shown on the front place next to articles about Libya or Syria. This type of content has more in common with People Magazine or a rag like The Examiner than publications that should be taken seriously. The Huffington Post is not a serious, credible, or worthy news source and they help do their part to keep the American people braindead and sheep-like.
Let's not forget who's at the helm of this bile hauling ship. None other than Captain Arianna Huffington. Once upon a time she was married to Republican Congressman Michael Huffington and used to write articles gushing about former House Speaker Newt Gingrich praising his ideas for "compassionate conservatism." She has since had a change of heart joining Team Liberal and divorcing her Republican husband. However, she retained his last name (her maiden name is Stassinopoulos) perhaps as a way to attach herself to whatever Huffington legacy there is in the United States. Perhaps she is most famous for her run as California Governor against the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gary Coleman, and porn star Mary Carey.
The Huffington Post has not shied away from being overly biased either. Much of their reporting seems in the same vein as the Fox News and MSNBC methods. In this way they already have a set agenda before reporting anything and only focus in on facts that could promote this agenda rather than detract from it. Both MSNBC and HuffPost seem to tow the mainstream liberal agenda line, even though lately I hear Arianna has been feigning dissatisfaction with President Barack Obama. This is opinion based news reporting and it is the bane and poison of the Mainstream News Media.
The Huffpost would like to promote themselves as part of the grassroots effort to take back the media, but this remains further from the truth. There are an estimated 6,000 unpaid bloggers, or "citizen journalists," working for the site. This is in spite of a major $315 million dollar deal in with America Online bought the Huffington Post.
In reality the HuffPost is just as corporate as NBC, CBS, or even Walmart. Their bottom line is the amount of SEO they can generate, and thus profits, and not whether their information in credible, biased, attention worthy, or even a promotion of the Progressive tenets that they supposedly hold so dear.
In 2011 you could enter into Google "What time does the Superbowl Start" and the first result would be a link from the Huffington Post. This is an easy question that can just be answered with a line from Google itself. It seems the HuffPost paid for such placement.
The HuffPost is just as mind numbing and polluting as anything one can find in the Mainstream News Media. Their founder is a self-serving ego-maniacal opportunist who is not above marrying someone to further their own goals. They use the talents of unpaid bloggers to create the content of their site while accepting millions from giant AOL in a buyout deal. Their status in journalism should be regarded as a joke and as far as a source of alternative news media or otherwise they just SUCK.
