lol, well, i think it still does actually, understandably, a superpower at present...but it's great that we citizens of the western world have reduced our global ignorance and also attmept to make our leaders more accountable for wrong doings rather than our all following blindly waving our flags over our heads (sometimes the flapping of the flag obstructs our eyesight)...it's wonderful that we're also allowed to speak freely and make light of ourselves and our leaders and our errors as an outlet for venting frustration and just coping with the tension and uncertainlty of mankind altering desicions...lol, didnt' mean to get heavy...we were just talking about best threads and being proud of entertainers a second ago:)

ok, to get back into fun, here's sometihn light from Carlin that makes light of ourselves:

"when i heard that song "Don't Worry, Be Happy" i realized it was exactly the kind of mindless philosophy that Americans would respond to...it would make a great national motto...right along with "Me First" ...lol

imo, the eastern world has adopted that "me first" motto and it's expanding rapidly as our own ignorance diminishes...I imagine somewhere we'll all collide and there will be a big ugly war or hopefully and alternatively, just one big group hug:)

anyhow...Mike, just check out any threads that have lots of goofy pics...less reading required:)

I just refound this topic and thought some of the newcomers around might enjoy reading it and adding their thoughts.
Also an opportunity to repeat my appeal for anybody's favourite old threads

Mindless drivel ? Oh, I can offer plenty of that. I WAS wondering how the threads were becoming embedded with tripe.
