what is the 'american dream'?
 

during the election i was hearing a lot about the 'american dream' so i was wondering (foolishly) what your interpretation of the american dream is?

Living in the Playboy Mansion. (minus the old guys) haha.

Hmm.

I guess the "American" dream is to make enough money to support yourself and get by and not be in debt by doing something in life you enjoy.

My dream, and I'm currently living it I guess, is to save up enough money now so I don't have to worry in the future so I can have plenty of time to fuck off and have no responsibility and hopefully to travel to beaches and to play noise shows.

Doing a lot of drugs in Las Vegas.

An Edward Albee play.

He didn't find the American dream...

"To vulgarise and falsify until the bare lies shine through"

To find what makes you happy and do it, and living the life you want to live.

It's either that or the two-story house, white picket fence, 2.5 kids, and a car in the garage deal.

So what do you suppose I am trying to say?

That the American dream is horseshit? I don't know. Water testing a Mercedes would be fun, though.

You live outside of the US, where life is gloomy and you're poor and oppressed by a corrupt and tyrannical government, so you leave for the US and you become free, wealthy and even more.

Does it apply to every Americas ( north, south, Canada, Mexico, Colombia...)?
The use of 'America' as 'USA' bothers me.

We should be the United States of something else?

No.
But Brazil, Canada etc. are parts of America too.
Maybe shrink the term even more ( like Rica ) so there will be no confusion.

Like Costa Rica?

D'oh!
Erica, then.

United States of that one slut from high school?

We should just called ourselves Inbred States of the Americas...

Actually Mexico is called Los Estados Unidos Mexicanos. Basically the same thins as what the U.S.A. is doing.

jerking off to porn and movie stars, do drugs, working at a job you hate or will eventually hate, either become a pussy or an asshole, fuck, marry, divorce, have a kid you don't plan on having and suicide. in whatever order.

all with the occasional moments of happiness that don't make up for the shit life you live
