Love it. Everyone here blaming Democrats. Have you ever noticed Detroit hasn't improved under any administration? Perhaps you simply think one party over the other is better for the country? As if they're not the same thing (which they are), as it's already been exposed, the party system is an illusion of choice. Detroit is the way it is because American refuse to improve their own country. You don't have the right to judge the area if you haven't experienced living there, or have made an effort to improve it. But hey, your ok with us spending 600 billion a year to pursue regime change in the middle east, so...

Implying the next president ever fixes old problems from past presidents. They barely do, but go out trying to make themselves look great. Democratic or Republican, they're all the same damned thing, and your extremely naive to think otherwise. Your a victim of perceived "Better Choice" syndrome.

SiriusJones Exactly. Here's a little hint as the why Detroit is the way it is. Hear of Flint? An area where they decided to switch the water supply to an alternate pipe which was contaminated with heavy amount of lead and other bacteria, just to save a few million. Guess what, now they're complaining about having to ship bottled water to every home because it'll cost, "billions". In this case, it's clear it's not the fault of the people of Detroit. but it's reckless, stupid, and incompetent State Government.

SiriusJones You miss the point. If we spent more time in our country, providing our people with opportunities, and fixing up our country like we spend billions and attempt to do for Iraq, Libya, and Syria at the expense of US lives and international status... We would probably be a much better country. I admire Japan, of all things, because that's a country that's copied US way of life and made it better. They can fix a broken downtown road that sunk into water in 24 hours, yet it takes us the same to fix a few potholes. Japanese bathrooms are super clean, which says a lot about the people... Don't even ask me what bathrooms look like here in the US. We, the people, are the only ones to blame for our own countries shitty standard way of life. Just look at this years election, and it's as clear as day.

SiriusJones Every think that maybe it's not about money? You can't buy an education. What their teaching must be on par with the reality their living. If they want to improve their area, teach them how to succeed in developing, engineering, infrastructure, mental programs, etc., but meanwhile, Pythagorean Theorem is clearly more reverent for life lessons isn't it... Meanwhile in Japan, they teach you EVERYTHING you need to know from day one to be successful in growing up, to becoming an adult, to beyond. In the US, we learn math, History, and how to work at big corporations... So it doesn't matter how much you spend on students if what their harvesting in their brains is useless to them.

Mister Mood Yes, they should. The US educational system is far behind a host of countries, but it's not even just Education. Here's the funniest thing about the US. In this election, people have fought over Immigration, Refugees, Drugs, Police Reform, as if these problems are "Oh So Hard!" to solve. Meanwhile, we command NATO, a host of countries, our allies, who's ways of life are different, but yet each country does a few things better than we do, almost perfected it. So while our politicians are trying to re-invent the wheel so to speak, they argue over how to handle Drugs? Meanwhile, Portugal already solved the issue. They argue over Prison Reform? Germany and i think Finland solved the issue. They argue over Refugees? Canada has Europe looking at it's policies because they work so damned well. Meanwhile we can't find out how to fucking fix any of it? Are we that stupid? Then the US is criticizing countries like China for so much crazy stuff, and sure, it's a communist country, much different, YET... They copied everything we do, and have flourished faster than any other nation has. They have more advanced trains, aircraft, civil services and more, and it's all because they copied us, and made it better. Yet, here we are, trying to re-invent the wheel.

SiriusJones Well you can't say they haven't been trying. Have you researched what and who is pushing the effort for better education in Detroit? Much less the US? Truthfully, the entire Educational system could use a modernization based on realistic conditions, in order to improve those conditions. Believe me, i've been to a school that was more like a prison. Trust me, it's a little hard to learn in that kind of environment. You don't know unless your in it, and you can't say. It's not necessarily multi-generation PTSD, it's the fact that Blacks don't trust the system because for years it was legally designed to keep them down in society. Such institutions still exist today, and not even just in some places in the US. In fact, there was a documentary a few years ago that followed a man who had been the victim of targeted police harassment, which is basically the police telling this man to do certain tasks or be locked up. Also, private prisons, which are purely for profit bounty hunting organizations that mainly target colored communities. So to say the Anxiety doesn't exist, is still an opinion highly disconnected from reality. I would recommend you do heavy research before you settle on your opinion. Keep an open mind. It's not everywhere in the country, but there's places that still have people who very much don't like to accept the fact that being American can mean your any shape, size, and color under the flag and constitution.

***** Well, you're not American anyway, because the only people still throwing around that insult are Neo-Nazi's who will soon be destroyed anyway. You have no say in US affairs.

J.W. Stillwater Well, Ill give Trump the benefit of the doubt. Sure, he ran on a horrible campaign that literally divided this country farther than ever before... But tell you what, despite his Nationalist views, there's a number of things i agree with him. But a major part of that is that if Trump manages to mend the American people from his divisive campaign and truly fix our problems, he would then earn my respect. Until then, i'm skeptical about his rather reckless personality.

***** would you like to quote me saying that? My response is clear and it doesn't say anything about the entire country being like what is current Detroit. Read it again, word for word this time.

***** Cute. But your typed words still mean nothing to the reality. I would love for you to attempt to go and say that to a real person, anyone in America, you would either get laughed off, or someone would show you what reality looks like. But of course, you choose the Youtube Comment section to come and play pretend. Pathetic. But i can't complain, because your opinion is as worthless as the person you learned it from. ;)

mike sixx Oh don't worry, Washington has been spending 600 billion per year on defense spending and we're not even in a major conflict. China spends half that and Russia doesn't even come close, which is our biggest "perceived" threat. Seems to me like if we took 100 billion, or even 1 billion to put it into our own civil development, Detroit would undoubtedly look better.

mike sixx I didn't say beliefs shouldn't be tolerated. I said opinions, and beliefs shouldn't be used as facts. What you believe is NOT a substitute for the facts. If you "think" something is one way, when it "reality" it's the other, your Opinion will be harmful to the development, and existence of that reality. This is common sense, not fascism, and there you go again, a prime example. You call be a Nazi, when i'm defending the image of the US from nazism, and fascism.

mike sixx I didn't advocate banning nationalism. I advocated banning race specific nationalism/supremacy. The flag represents all Americans, and there's over 300 million people willing to die to defend all rights, for all Americans, not just a few who believe they're better than all. So yes, while there's freedom of speech, at what point do we say that it's time for Nazi's to leave? We lost too many American lives at the hand of those fuckers.

gringots Ahhh yes, the Drug War. The thing the Philippians cussed the US out over the UN and slaughtered his own people while comparing himself directly to Hitler himself. Meanwhile the US government can't find a way to deal with Drugs, but yet NATO ally Portugal can fix the problem with pure common sense, and human compassion. Yet here we are still trying to re-invent the wheel while people get continuously sucked into a drug/gang environment in which they're forced to either join, or are threatened, while specific for profit private police stations work hard to hold back those communities thus creating a never ending cycle of poverty and stressed out anxiety riddled neighborhoods. But hey, leave it to the media and the conservatives to point directly at the drugs and "inner cities" as the problems. Perhaps if we flushed out their shitty ass, corrupt, politicians and incompetent State govt, the problem could be solved. But this is Capitalism. There's too much money to be had holding others down and making false claims to support the capital gain.

mike sixx No no, your misunderstanding, problem is, there's a shift. Something's happening that's making a large portion of Conservatives more extreme, and the same can be said about the Dems as well. But i'm not surprised considering both groups seem to be having their own issues and failing to fix each other issues. They're creating problems and preventing each other from making progress. What i hate about both groups is that when one is in power, they prevent the other from doing work. So this creates a cycle of issues that when the other gets elected, the reverse what the other has done in an effort to create essentially the same thing under their banner just for their "image". There's no honor, there's no obligation to the constitution or what it stands for, there's no moral red line to be followed, it's all about money now, period. This is the center of it all, and money can't buy life, they found out in flint, but still would rather shoot down requests to ship clean water to homes because it's too costly, and are unwilling to pay the price for their own mistakes that can COST LIVES. That's not very good. And it doesn't matter who's in power, i watched the same amount of incompetence under Bush, just in different form.
