Well, that sounds nice, but if Americans are so much about family and having a good time, then why are they among the world leaders in suicide rates, anti-depression drug use, and broken, dysfunctional families?
...the reason why is America is the best at selling you a fantasy. Everybody thinks they are going to grow up and be rich and famous and fall in love and have all the women and go on a great adventure; basically they think life is like the movies because most Americans spend their lives watching Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks movies. Many people chase after that fantasy and when they don't find anything on the other end they become frustrated.

Where do I start? The reason why the Holiday IS important isn't because Americans are ALL about family....It's actually the quite opposite, we don't spend enough time with family out here, our society pushes us not to. We all have too much going on, so something as simple as Easter gets people together, which is a good thing. Now is everyone sitting there talking about Jesus on the cross? NO, but it's JESUS who brings them together. Is everyone in Christmas talking about how Jesus was born? NO, they get gifts for each other and at least THINK about each other once a year and you get reminded who your true people are, and JESUS is what brought them together. Fake or not, it's a good thing. It's a GODLY thing. Now you want to go ahead and bring Muslims in, they also have holidays exactly like these. But instead of celebrating life, they mourn it. In the Middle East muthafucaz parade around BEATING THEMSELVES when holidays like these come around EVERY FUCKIN YEAR, it never ends. So it isn't because Americans are ABOUT family, it is because they are NOT! And I don't side with Americans, I side with pure logic.
And in the great words of my older uncle, when you fake it before you make it, you have a greater chance of making it, why? Because you're already studying the ways of the people who have made it without knowing it. You say America sells us all a fantasy? Yea they do, and it is the EXACT reason why we have the most successful people out of the whole world on this land. Why? Because they were all sold a fantasy when they were kids and were raised on having dreams and freedom of expressing it. This does not happen in other parts of the world. Therefore, they have very much less chance of expressing and following on their dreams. Do they have less talent than us? NO, they just don't have the opportunities that we have. And more importantly, they don't have no support, their souls have no courage to encourage them to follow on their dreams, their society doesn't make them feel as though they will be successful when they grow up. But this society does, and it is a positive thing to sell fantasies to kids when they're young, because it will make them strive for the better. Now ofcourse there's the smaller percentage of kids who turned spoiled or just fuck up, period. They get lost in fantasy. That's a whole different issue.
Also, you're exposed and brain-washed by all the Anti-Americans, I don't agree with alot of the bullshit in America either, but I do side with logic and logic says that the percentage of people who are on hard drugs such as heroin and cocaine is MUCH higher in the Middle East, a mostly Muslim region. So don't stereotype, be real about your shit. Have you ever been to the ghettos of Middle East and seen muthafucaz play with needles every other hour like its cigarrets? These are the same people who pray 5 times a day. Does that make the religion of Islam a bad thing? No, the principles are beautiful.
It is not the religion, it's the heart of the man. Remember that.
