Conservatives holding true to our founding principles are the only reason this country didn't collapse decades ago. But the liberal communists can rest easy knowing thier work is nearly done, the tipping point has been reached and nothing can stop them now. Stick out your chest and be proud America, we are witnessing the fall of the Roman Empire

Yep, it's hard to believe how blind so many peeps are to the end of society as we know it. I've been to many countries and see how similar we are becoming to these 2nd and 3rd world places..

coke screwed up
 

And a coke commercial is to blame

Our founding principals were based on religious equality, freedom of speech, and escaping the persecution of our ruler.

I proudly stick out my chest and salute the flag, and so do my children. They also know that we are all people, and we are all different and equal under the same creator.

THAT's AMERICA

The America most on here describe is one that eliminates all feeling of offensiveness. Someone speaks another language and it offends you. Someone has a differing opinion or religious belief and it offends you. Sound familiar? Sounds pretty liberal to me.

Speaking just for me, but the end of society as we know it because:

We are now a nation without even the slightest generally agreed apoun and accepted values moral or beliefs. No right or wrong any more, do whatever you feel like

The value of hard is no longer appreciated, sloth is encouraged and sanctioned by the government.

The value of family is no longer appreciated and openly ridiculed in society. This is the glue that holds our society together.

Free market capitalism and the Christian work ethic built this country. Elected officials in our highest offices are now openly hostile toward these principles

We are being systematically scrubbed of our national identity as Americans at every turn and being nudged toward a more global identity. One world government so the wealth can be shared.

When the government takes 45 to 50% of the fruits of your labor to give to those unwilling to work, and over half the citizens of this country are ok with that.

I could go on for days about this, I'm sorry for the rant, but I am bored today. :)

Man you hit da nail on da head with that rant!

While I agree with most of your points, and am well aware of a "one world push", I whole heartedly doubt coke is influenced by the illuminati to further a one world system.... That's what this debate is about, and I personally liked the fact that the commercial had our nations song being sung in various languages.

If they had recited the Koran, sang Iran's national anthem, and closed it with Kim Jong Un taking a big swig in the coke ad, the disgust and hatred would make sense .

Coke ran the ad hoping to boost sales,making money is thier only agenda and thats fine... thats what a company is supposed to do. But they took a traditionaly patriotic song that has stirred national pride for decades and presented it in a way that was more global than Amercian. I see the backlash as a reasonable response to the singing of one of this countries most cherished songs in a most unconventional way. There are just some things you just shouldn't mess with and evidentally this song is one of those things. I think if they would have been singing "I'd like to buy the world a coke" it would have went over alot better. LOL

Lady who wrote that song was a lesbian. Fun fact.

Prolly so. Enough to make a grown man cry. George Washingtons, John Adams, and Thomas Jeffersons are a mite harder to raise than Bill Clintons.

Men, do right by y'alls sons and daughters. Dere be hard days ahead!

Here is something I found and really agree with!!

One important thought here: A person’s IQ or education level has absolutely nothing to do with their perception of reality. Higher education is higher brainwashing. Sometimes it seems that the more education, the bigger the fool.
People are obsessed with believing what they have always believed without question. An inquiring mind is required for anyone to question long-held views.
Here are some examples of conventional wisdom. This is what most people believe:

• That government will not lie or allow an economic depression.

• That history as taught in schools or history books is truth.

• That pharmaceuticals sell good drugs that aid cures.

• That vaccinations bring immunity.

• That people can “catch” disease from someone else — germ theory.

• That the cure for cancer is just around the corner.

• When a child is sick, he needs antibiotics.

• When a child has fever, he needs Tylenol.

• Hospitals are safe and clean.

• That drugs are not poison.

• That doctors and hospitals do not cause deaths.

• Guns are dangerous.

• World War I “made the world safe for democracy.”

• World War II was for democracy to prevail over tyranny.

• The Korean War was to “contain communism.”

• The Iraq war was to find and destroy “weapons of mass destruction.”

• Paper money is wealth.

They have dumbed us down. They rape us daily and we never question their criminal intentions.
We seem to have no memory, no will to resist, no interest in our own fate. And worst of all, we have no interest in preserving Christian morality. The need to conceal evil is becoming less necessary as the American people themselves continue to become more perverted.
The political con game is all about the transformation of human beings to the animal farm. The message must be decoded on our terms — on the basis of our original politics, our original culture, our original beliefs and our original traditions. Unless and until the game is viewed this way, one does not have the tools to keep from being brainwashed. Until then, nothing will change.

Corrected it for you. You really need to get out more; read,think. What you write in your last paragraph is the LIBERAL MANTRA. Our language is English, not Spanish and we should require Assimilation or Deportation (read Muslims & Messicans). Basic literacy; fluent enough to read street signs, driving test, voting ballot. The majority who come here now, come for one thing; FREEBEES. They work the system paid for by people like you and laugh their a$$ off at your simpleton open arms ideas when in their minds they want to conquer and subjugate you to their rules.

I don't have a problem with LEGAL immigration. I have a big problem with rewarding illegal immigration by giving amnesty. Why should someone be rewarded for breaking the law? And I agree with the post about the "entitlement" state the the government is encouraging. We work hard to provide a better life for us and our family then they take 40+% and give it to those too lazy to work. It's gotta end sooner or later. If the wealthy (who the others hate) quit working where is the give away money going to come from?

It's gotta end sooner or later. WHEN the wealthy (who the others hate) quit working where is the give away money going to come from?
^^^^^^^^^^ This is the time you will see TEOTWAWKI! ^^^^^^^^^^

Who would have thought a coke commercial would bring on the end of society as we know it.

The power of advertising.

Kinda what I was thinkin by his response.

Perhaps it was meant to be thought provoking?

There have been some very good arguments brought forth throughout this discussion..."Do we tolerate another language or, should they learn ours?" "Have we become so blinded by people being "offended" that we are now afraid to have one set of rules or creed that our nation live by?C"

In short, my thoughts are that, we are One nation(now divided by multi-culturism). We were designed in this nation to speak one language, whether it be behind the curve of the rest of the world...It's just the way we are. We have been completely polarized by left or right, black or white. We are playing into our gov'ts hand, as well as major corporations(who feeds who in that scenario?). Until we can be ONE nation again, we are divided, regardless of age, race, creed or, sexual orientation. Just think, all of this commercial only fueled the idea that we are no longer one nation because so many of us are indoctrinated now by the multi-cultural mentality.

Once upon a time, German immigrants fought alongside Italians for the USA, in their home country. They believed in the new world. There was a time when they spoke their native language only in the home. Now, some folks feel that the SAT should be written in Spanish and, ebonics so that ALL can pass. Now days, this nation is divided in so many ways that it is destined to fail...Is this the result of a commercial? Of course not! Did this commercial spark a debate for opening the eyes of our nation to our own demise? Perhaps. I mean, just think...Somehow or another, a known socialist and, suspected immigrant was elected and, then, re-elected!

LIKE!!

Yeah.. they are called libertarians nowadays.. :)

as usual i am late to the party..

But southern is hitting it right on the head.

Although it's from a movie clip... this sum's up exactly why we are going downhill so fast..


We are allowing our goverment and corporate lobby groups to keep us all divided / hating each other because of our skins, religions, and politics.

I choose to be a libertarian for exactly this reason... I will not choose the lesser evil any damned more. I will not give my consent as a citizen by doing that any more. I recognize that this means that my vote will not help those wearing either red or blue shirts... but am past the point of giving a crap about it. Neither one has either my or this countries interests at heart anyway. They are just there to keep there corporate lobbyist master's happy.

We have been involved in the "war on terror" for longer than ww1,2,korea,and every war since combined. What have we gotten from it... half our personal freedoms stripped away and the terrorists are still going full steam.

We have the highest costs per capita as a percentage of GDP for healthcare of any civilized nation... yet have one of the least effective systems (measure of # of doctors and hospital beds per capita)

We jail a higher percentage of people than most of the rest of the world combined, yet our crime rates are among poorly policed third world country standards.

Our school system (other than to some arguable extent our university's and college's) are a joke, which is still knee deep in the failed prussian model of schooling.

We bicker back and forth about "obama" is the devil and will ruin this country. Or republicans only care about rich people and are going to squeeze the middle class and poor through the grinder.

We scream about Obamacare is going to bankrupt insurance companies and that's the goal of the government... (yet insurance company stocks have ALL skyrocketed since obamacare has went live...) No one says.... well looky here.... if its gonna bankrupt insurance companies then why are they making so much more money???? could it be because they are the ones who wrote the laws to create a system... where it cost significantly more to purchase significantly less insurance... and yet you were MANDATED TO DO IT???....

We chant meaningless slogan's like "they will take my guns when they pry them from my cold dead hands" yet don't mind one bit that the NSA can and does listen and record your every conversation.

We are up in arms over coca cola airing a commercial celebrating diversity, but we ignore the NSA & CIA giving tacit approval to KILL AMERICAN CITIZENS via drone strikes, without so much as a nod to due process (trial by a jury etc) or any of the other values that our founding father fought for.

I will say here... I don't care if your a dem or a pub... stop voting for the lesser of two evils. start voting like you have a pair. non of our founding fathers would have done any less. I will be damned if i will.

:work::work::work:

oh and where do i put my 2 cents at?

^^word^^

"ignorance"

"the world through fox"

Damn it fellas. I got some catchin up to do. Too much to sort through using my phone.

Anyone know (not a guess but real answer) the process of becoming a United States citizen?

How long does it take from the beginning point to becoming a citizen?


In other words if Jose from Mexico wants to become a United States citizen, what does he do? What are the steps and how long does it take?:):smokin:

but that finger works just like any other humans, regardless of language.

Sure does... So let their finger work for them in their country!

I know the Vietnamese girl at work said that after she married an American, she has a 3 year period before she is an actual citizen. I always thought it was immediate, but apparently not. She still has a year and a half left..... There's still hope for a divorce! :rotfl: As far as moving here and going the paperwork route, I have no clue. I would assume you could just buy the right paperwork from the trunk of somebodies car! :work:

Legally, several years and thousands of dollars.

I think all these ppl that want illegals here should house about 5 or 10 of em

I believe 7 yrs


"Go ahead, share your opinion! I won't cry"

I thought it was a year and taking test and pledge.

US Citizenship Apply Guide

If you are like most people stress over this most important day of your life, find out how our unique U-Pass Citizenship Success Program can help!

Time frame to become a US Citizen:

Normally it takes approximately 6 month from the date the application is filed.

However, according to the news released by US Citizenship and Immigrant Service (USCIS) on 1/16/2008, due to the significant increase in the number of applications filed, processing times have been affected. As a result, average processing times for certain application types filed after June 1, 2007, may become longer. Citizenship applications may take approximately 16-18 months to process.

Following are general 8 steps to become an US Citizen:
Step 1: Find out if you are eligible
Step 2: Complete an application and collect the necessary documents
Step 3: Get Photographed
Step 4: Send your application, documents, and fee to the Service Center
Step 5: Get Fingerprinted
Step 6: Being Interviewed
Step 7: Receive a decision
Step 8: Take the oath and become a citizen
Step 1: Find out if you are eligible, here are requirements for becoming an US Citizen:
Prove a period of continuous residence and physical presence in the United States; residence in a particular USCIS District prior to filing.

If you are at least 18 years old and have been a Permanent Resident for the past 5 years without leaving the United States for trips of 6 months or longer.

Good moral character

To be eligible for naturalization you must be a person of good moral character.

If you do not tell the truth during your interview, USCIS may deny your application for lacking good moral character.

Attachment to the principles of the U.S. Constitution and favorable disposition toward the United States.

All applicants for naturalization must be willing to support and defend the United States and our Constitution.
Step 2: Complete an application and collect the necessary documents:

The official Naturalization Application Form is the N400 form. You should be warned that N400 is not easy to filled out. There are some questions difficult to understand their meanings. In addition, during the Citizenship interview, USCIS officer will ask you questions about yourself, your family, your employment, criminal background, etc. These questions are normally from N400 form. So in order to pass the Citizenship test, you must understand all the questions on N400 form and be able to answer them on paper and orally during the Citizenship interview.

To help you prepare for N400 form and familiar with the questions, we developed "N400 Prep Guide". The official N400 form is also included in this guide.

In our English-Spanish and English-Chinese N400 Prep Guide bilingual versions, we translated the entire N400 form into Spanish and Chinese. The Preparation Guide is offered in both Audio and Booklet formats. We have received numerous compliments from our customers about N400 Preparation guide. They told us just the translation itself had saved them $1,000s money on immigration lawyers.

You will need to send copies of several documents with your application. How many and which documents you will need to send will depend on your individual situation. If you do not send the additional documents with your application, the processing of your application may be delayed. In most cases,you should send a copy of a document, but you should be prepared to bring the originals with you to your interview.

USCIS may also ask you to send other documents to us before your interview, or to bring additional documents with you to your interview. Use the Document Checklist make sure you send the correct documents.

Be sure to send an English translation with any document that is not already in English. The translation must include a statement from the translator that he or she is competent to translate and that the translation is correct. If you do not have a required document and cannot get a certified copy of the original, submit a certification from the original recording authority explaining why it cannot be provided. In that case USCIS will consider other evidence such as notarized affidavits.

The Document Checklist will tell you when you need to send original documents and when you may send copies. Remember to make and keep copies of all documents you send to USCIS.

Step 3: Get Photographed

You must include 2 standard, passport-style, color photographs with your application. A passport picture taken place normally knows the requirements.

Step 4: Send your application, documents, and fee to the Service Center

The fee for filing your naturalization application is:$595.00
The biometric services fee for having your fingerprints taken is:$ 80.00

Click here for more information on application, documents and fees.

Step 5: Get Fingerprinted

Once you have filed your application, USCIS will send you a letter telling you where and when to have your fingerprints taken.

After getting your fingerprinted, wait for USCIS to schedule your interview

Step 6: Being Interview

USCIS will send you a notice in the mail telling you when and where you must appear for your interview. You will not receive a second notice.
You should bring the following identification to your interview:
Your Permanent Resident or Alien Registration Card,
Your passport (even if it has expired), and
ny Re-entry Permits you have.
Answer questions about your application and background.

Step 7. Receive a decision

After your interview, you will receive a Form N-652 that gives you information about the results of your interview. Based on all the information you have given USCIS, USCIS will either grant, continue, or deny your naturalization application after your interview.

Step 8: Take the oath and become a citizen

If USCIS approves your application for naturalization, you must attend a ceremony and take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States. USCIS will notify you by mail of the time and date of your ceremony.

You will take the Oath during the ceremony. An official will read each part of the Oath slowly and ask you to repeat his or her words.

If you determine to pass the citizenship test the first time, check out how our U-Pass Citizenship Success Program has helped tens of thousands immigrants pass the citizenship test on their first try!

It says you must be a perm resident for 5 years.

would we have this conversation if Cajun French was one of the languages that was sung?

The French people has assimilated, pay taxes, and haven't tried to F Up our country so it would be like the $hithole they came from. Try not to compare Patriotism with Nationality.

And the asians and Indians haven't? The entire song wasn't sung in Spanish - stick to the topic

so Cajun food is now American food? What defines American style? Do restaurant owners and workers in non "American" style venues not pay taxes?

As for your comparison, I did no such thing. I brought up a point you can't deny and you had to find something to build upon. They stopped teaching their way of life and now it is practically lost because no one other than those people embraced it.
I've read on this forum people crying over the fact that Cajun French culture and heritage (language being a huge one) has fallen by the wayside. that's where your argument gets you.
