It'd give you something meaningful to do. Maybe also you'd see other parts of the country. And possibly the world for that matter. Might be an eye opener for you.
I did think about joining the Marine Corps after High School...., but I refuse to serve a nation that would elect Barrack Obama not once but twice and treat illegal immigrates better then veterans...


I have seen the poverty of Central and South America here in America..Why do you think I so for border security and a fence..?

I am assuming you have not..
And I'm thankful none of that happened. That is why I don't look at "America that was" as a great time. I know as a Black man that I would have experienced those things. Considering what I have posted, I thought you would know that I was talking about those things.

Well, I said that the America of today is better than the America that was. I said I prefer this America to the old America. Nothing in my tone would say that I believe that stuff like this still happens. I specifically demarcated the difference between what America is now vs America that was.

I'm betting he's never had his limbs mangled in industrial equipment or worked 16 hours a day starting from the age of 6 either. But most people don't need to experience those things for themselves to know they're not good.

Like a lot of people who long for the past, you gloss over the really crappy parts, and there were a lot of them. Unless you were white, straight, male and well off, America in the not-too-distant past could be a pretty lousy place to live.

I've never been in such situations. However, I know enough about American history, and about my own family history to know that I prefer the current USA over the USA that was.

We have come a long way as a country, I like where we are today and the future that is ahead of us.
