what is the single most thing that is making America corrupt?

I'd have to say capitalism and its little vampire soulmate - consumerism.
Selfishness is the root of all evil (not money).
Greed, imperialism, desensitisation via violence in the media.
Conservatism, religionism, patriotism (versus freedom, spirit and universality)
Mass illusion, delusion, hypnotic trance of mindlessness among the masses
Giving away your power for a comfy seat on the couch and something to numb the mind (choose your pill wisely Neo...lol)
Seperatism, racialism, prejudice of all kinds.
Apathy, lack of compassion, soul sickness...
(all of the above are not just in America)

 

Can't we just blame it on the devil?
I mean hell, they pinned shit on the West Memphis Three for "satanic witchcraft."
Why can't we blame the devil?
(crude humor - sorry)

 

The Devil, like the dark, is just the absence of light...so shine on my man and spread the light out into the darkest corners of ignorance...I remember how it used to be when life was simpler and sweeter...

"A little bit of freedom's all we lack...so catch me if you can, I'm going back..." (I wish)
- this comes from an old song from the sixties

 

lack of mothers.

i hate working so much and being away so much and leaving the most important thing i will ever do to poorly paid cynical overworked apathetic teachers/caregivers. my boys know i'm there for them though, they are good kids (mostly )

 

well apathy certainly consumerism ? i think greed but not for money=power lets go to the world bank and see were the money=power goes.............?.?.?

 

Crooked represive government. I see alot of smart people on here, it makes me glad i came into this thread. Peace my brothers and sisters:sunglasse

 

The President

 

The government, of course.

 

greed, conformity, lack of thinking by the masses, they all blend together

 

I have agree with Gillianwind - The pResident Evil
and here in Oz its surely - The Prime Sinister
But will have to add the Global Copulations (coz they fuck us all, and the earth, every day)

 

All been pretty well said by many here already, just wanna add...
Shit starts at the top and rolls downhill...

 

The idea of "race." Or myth, I should say. The notion that such a thing exists, Number One, and, Two, that humans would pattern their societies upon such a notion.

I hope that one of you reading this has a future-epiphany, and discovers 8 years from now that there is no genetic basis for the notion of "race." Humans are all of one race, scientifically speaking, and vary much less than we are brainwashed into believing.

Is there any concept held any more dear than the notion that there are "races?"
No.

If you abandon the notion of "race," lots of things fall into place. Like, how [people who live near toxic waste sites have higher mortality, higher leves of lead, and so on, and supposedly this is "proof" that "a certain race" is difficient in, OH, A BULLSHIT METRIC: IQ.

No, what we are seeing is the inability of black people to move to an area where chemical exposure was minimal, just because white people invented all kinds of scales, like IQ, r vs. K genotypes, Eugenics, skull measuiring, credit scores, to keep them in the lower classes. So, by being assigned to one of the lower classes, their children were also assigned,...

And so on: Nighty-night.

 

Honestly? Josh? I think the biggest thing wrong with the entire WORLD is "Politics"! If we did away with THAT, I'd be happier.

 

Ah, a corrollary to the tinkle-down theorem.

 

is there a non curupt gov?.. you could say its our resources that make us seem more curupt, because power curupts and our vast rersoures make us very powerfull

 

what is the single most thing that is making America corrupt?

That's easy!!! MONEY!!!

 

Nope! And that's MY point!

 

WOWww! I was gonna say greed, but yeah all government creates an infereior dependence upon a system. As oposed to the good of human spirit.

 

now if we could just make a goverment thats not a goverment we would be set, oh wait, tried that and called it democracy,

 

Being too up tight
