I almost can't blame the public for going after the fluff instead of all the talking heads that re-iterate the same talking points all the time.

Keeping up with the pace and extent of the corruption in our government these days is really hard.

I don't know about the Kardashians, but NFL teams at least only play one game a week.

@MistyCee they only play one game but there are hundreds of radio shows and TV networks that discuss sports 24/7. People talk about sports and argue about them more than they watch them
It's easier than caring. I imagine people feel helpless and incapable, so they seek distractions instead of contributing to change.

Because it's passive and a vacuous escape. It requires nothing more than time.

@Ynotisay right, no critical thinking on their part

The Americans in THIS house aren't.

Having specified "Americans", does that mean you aren't one?

Incidentally, I am an American and have never watched the Kardashians or the NFL.
I don't keep up with what's going on in our corrupt government because none of the people who have openly tried to overthrow the government of the United States has been jailed for treason or at the very least removed from their position.

@xixgun I was born in America so yes I'm an American

@Shapeshifter Then unless you believe yourself to ALSO be mesmerized by the Kardashians and the NFL and oblivious to the corrupt government; shouldn't you have inquired, "Why are SOME Americans..."?

Isn't it a way to divert the attention of the people from reality?
Ynotisay · M
@Shapeshifter Nice reference.
@Beatbox34 They still psychotically identify with the rich because the rich will save them from their ordinary pointless humiliating violent lives because the rich have money and everyone wants to be like that. And in America everyone's dreams COME TRUE...

don't we know?
@Shapeshifter You mean TV dinners and TV
so u know how to solve corruption?
and I don't watch the K family or football.....🤪
Shapeshifter · 36-40, M
@JustLikeGreta Wow, so we should just ignore it? Is that what you're getting at?
because that's how they are 😂

That's not completely true.

@Shapeshifter that's not allowed?
Shapeshifter · 36-40, M
@HannahSky nope
HannahSky · F
@Shapeshifter since when?
because Americans don't care about anything... in America no concern is necessary...only SW!!
Adaydreambeliever · 56-60, F
lol well put but I am going to defend them.. I think it's because sometimes the shit and corruption that's going on is just too overwhelming.. so it's easier to focus on something else.. to be honest, many of us Brits are doing the same!
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
Because americans are stupid
