WHY I LIKE MEMES

 

In the blink of an eye a meme can transmit about as much information as the viewer is ready to absorb without taking hours to write like a full length blog post does, and there is no danger of boring anyone's legs off. 

 

WHAT IS NEXT?

People keep asking me what the globalists are planning next, after the covidhoax, but it's really not that hard to predict! So wake up and smell the sheeple this year. 

AMERICA THE GREAT

This post was originally intended to be funny. But the more stuff I added to it, the less funny it looked, and the more like a train wreck. Sadly, like the Roman empire, America’s days appear to be numbered. I hope things turn around, but it needs to be pretty fast, and I figure exposing some of the bollocks might help that.

The Good

As pretty much everything on this page is negative apart from the picture of wonder woman in her hot pants, I’ll kick things off on a more positive note with a few of my favourite American achievements:

Awesome movies like “The Matrix” (1999) and “Flying High” (1980)

Life changing books like “Catch 22” (1953) and “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” (1974)

Brilliant albums like “LA Woman” (1971) and “Nevermind” (1991)

Styling cars like the Corvette Stingray (1968) and the  Plymouth Hemi Cuda (1971)

Cutting edge bicycles like the Specialized Stumpjumper (1981) and the Merlin Titanium (1993)

I didn’t really start out intending to make this point, but after listing a few of my favourite things, I then added dates and realised they are all from last century…

The Bad

Many other pages on this site contain opinions, hypotheses, and conclusions. This page is just a collection of over 50 American statistics and facts. I leave the reader to draw their own conclusions.

The main bias inherent on this page, is that these stats were mostly selected because they make America look bad. As a New Zealander I’m aware that NZ has a lot of bad stats too. In fact it was while looking into NZ heath stats that I decided to post this page. NZ has some appalling health stats, and in many cases is the second worst developed nation, invariably behind America. Developed countries with good health stats all tend to be in Europe.
