Are We a Nation of Pussies?

Only reason I knew about Boulder was because I was driving to it.


I think we are a nation of pussies, including myself. Look at France. Everyone always makes fun of France and calls them pussies. France is currently tearing itself apart with riots and strikes over the unemployment wage going up 2 years. I've heard all the stories of people from here working over there and complaining about how lazy everyone is, not showing up till 10:30am, going to lunch for 2 hours at 11:00am, leaving by 3:30pm blah blah blah.

From what I understand, the unemployment age has been written into law for the past 60 years, in what I'm under the impression is the equivalent to the Constitution. If the US government decided to axe one of the Amendments, the US would EXPLODE! But only in the media and on the internet. Sure you'd see/hear of a bunch of tough guys loading ammo and sleeping with their guns and stuff, but no one would actually do anything. Riot or even risk their job by striking? No way.

Same here. And I am really glad that some of us on here actually watch the news/read the news and post on here or I would have no idea what was going on.
