    19 Signs That You Live In A Country That Has Gone Completely Insane

    Do you ever feel like you are living in a “Bizarro World”?  That is how I feel much of the time.  I look around and it seems as though some form of mass psychosis has descended on most of the population.  Things that would have had Americans angrily marching in the streets a generation or two ago are now just accepted as “normal” by the “sheeple” that populate this nation.  If the talking heads that endlessly spew nonsense at us through our televisions tell us to believe something, no matter how absurd it is, most people just go along with it.  Before we had televisions and radios and computers and movies and the Internet, people actually had to do the hard work of thinking for themselves.  But now we are all plugged into this giant “matrix” that tells us what to think, what to believe and how to feel about things.  And unfortunately, the people that are telling us what to think and believe are delusional themselves.  The blind are leading the blind, and as a result our nation is coming apart at the seams all around us.  The following are 19 signs that you live in a country that has gone completely insane…

    #1 When those occupying the highest offices in the land tell you that an $18,000,000,000,000 debt is “under control“, you live in a country that has gone completely insane.

    #1 When those occupying the highest offices in the land tell you that an $18,000,000,000,000 debt is “under control“, you live in a country that has gone completely insane.

    #2 When your president starts acting like an emperor and begins ruling by decree and your elected representatives won’t lift a finger to do anything to stop it, you live in a country that has gone completely insane.

    #3 When the greatest dream in life for millions of your fellow citizens is to win the Powerball jackpot, you live in a country that has gone completely insane.

    #4 When dressing up sex dolls in fashionable clothing and photographing them is considered to be art, you live in a country that has gone completely insane.

    #5 When only 36 percent of the population can name all three branches of government, you live in a country that has gone completely insane.

    #6 When a boy can sue his high school for not letting him use the girls’ restrooms and win $75,000 in “damages”, you live in a country that has gone completely insane.

    #7 When people that want to have sex with their own family members start demanding “equal rights”, you live in a country that has gone completely insane…

    #8 When pregnancy is considered to be a “disease” and babies are considered to be “liabilities”, you live in a country that has gone completely insane.

    #9 When the federal government collects billions of our phone calls and emails and hardly anyone gets upset about it, you live in a country that has gone completely insane.

    #10 When 30 million of your fellow citizens are taking antidepressants, you live in a country that has gone completely insane.

    #11 When an endless stream of gang members, drug dealers, sɛҳuąƖ predators, welfare parasites and Middle Eastern terrorists can enter the country illegally and nothing is done, but anyone who criticizes this is in danger of being put on an “enemies list“, you live in a country that has gone completely insane.

    #12 When you can get arrested for “encouraging terrorism on Twitter“, but not for publicly burning the American flag in the middle of the street, you live in a country that has gone completely insane.

    #13 When your military airdrops huge loads of weapons into the hands of the very terrorists that they are supposed to be fighting, you live in a country that has gone completely insane.

    #14 When there are 2.5 million homeless children living in your nation and nobody is calling it a “national emergency”, you live in a country that has gone completely insane.

    #15 When a fifth-grade student can get suspended from school for making an imaginary gun with his fingers, you live in a country that has gone completely insane.

    #16 When Congress has to pass a law to keep federal workers from watching porn all day long, you live in a country that has gone completely insane.

    #17 When the number of payday lenders is greater than the number of Starbucks locations, you live in a country that has gone completely insane.

    #18 When an illegal immigrant can get a drivers’ license, but the head of a fire department of a major U.S. city is suspended from his job without pay for promoting sɛҳuąƖ morality, you live in a country that has gone completely insane.

    #19 When the general public knows far more about Kim Kardashian than it does about the Federal Reserve, you live in a country that has gone completely insane.


    And people wonder why I'm quick to believe that a person holding a sign with stupidity on it is "genuine" rather than fake.

  • We already know why you are quick to believe it Matthew.

    We "wonder" why you don't Google it first so as to change our opinion.

  • Today I pulled into a petrol station to fill up and had to make the decision of which row to chose so as not to wait any longer than necessary, (a game I usually lose).  I pulled up behind a black London taxi as no one was filling and I figured the driver would be paying for the fuel and be out soon.  Couple of people left the shop, followed by a 200lb, 6'3" woman who looked a lot like Arnie in disguise in the movie Total Recall, except even less feminine.

    This tranny climbed into the driver's seat of the cab and I then noticed through the back window a sign that said.  "Hello, I am Gail and I am currently undergoing gender reassignment therapy. Please don't be nasty to me, though I am happy to discuss it if you have any questions about it."

    So question to the forum.  What would you do if you hailed a cab and "Gail" stops?

  • Dismiss "Gail", find a normal driver, and ride around in one of those cool London taxis like a queen.

  • So would you make an excuse or simply be honest about it?

    You'd probably be on the move before you noticed.  You'd probably have to pay anyway.  Not sure whether it would technically be illegal.

    It would be a bit like that scene at the end of The Long Good Friday where Bob Hoskins is trap in the rear seat of the Jaguar.

    3.50 onwards.

  • Having lived in big cities, it's important to be alert and make swift safety decisions.
     
    Cabs here could be tricky, because the driver is on the left, far from the curb, so I couldn't see the face or ID most likely.  It would probably be safer to make an excuse to get out, after realising the drive has gone all Bob Hoskins.  :furtive:

    I would ride.  The invitation to discuss is just a consistent attention grab, and would thusly be ignored.  I would afford him the basic dignity (basic--nothing more/nothing less) to which he is entitled simply by being a human being.

    The driver is always far from the kerb in every country, regardless of which side of the road they drive on.  In Britain, Australia, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, South Africa and Japan cars drive on the left of the road and the drive sits on the right of the car.  In most of the world the driver sits on the left and the cars drive on the right of the road.

    If the driver is on the curb side of the car he has either crossed over the street, or you are on a one way street, or you have flagged down a US Mail van.

    Thank you for pointing that out!  I'm sort of dyslexic.
