I can think of several times America hasn't been as great as it is now and I can think of several times America has been greater than it is now. Everyone here can do that.
Overall - compared to the rest of the world (on all fronts), we are still sitting on top and in a pretty great place.
Nowadays, people bitch too much about superfluous bullchit specifically BECAUSE we are so great. Idle hands are dangerous hands and it's human nature to bitch and complain. We've made modern life too easy and great and so these bitch-ass whiners of today really have nothing too valid to bitch at. I consider real bitching to begin at real war, disease, famine, severe oppression, genocide et al. Anything short of those ain't valid bitching, it's just whining because you are a sniveling little baby.
IN MY DAY, WE WALKED TO SCHOOL IN THE SNOW, UPHILL BOTH WAYS!!!
WE ATE GRASS & BEETLES BECAUSE WE WERE STARVING.
THEY SHOT MY FATHER AND OLDER BROTHER BECAUSE THEY WERE FIGHTING AGE.
MY MOM AND SISTERS WERE RAPED BY THE INVADING FORCES.
I KILLED A BEAR WITH MY LOOSE LEAF NOTEBOOK!
