Is it me, or has America as a whole gone viral? When something new and different reaches the public anymore there seem to be no moderate responses. These topics are met with total hatred or rabid obsession. Either way, social media erupts into a frenzy. Donald Trump and Pokémon GO are two examples that come to mind. Despite not being drooled over by the same groups of people, the […]

Think about how happy you are when you’re on vacation. You’re in some tropical paradise where the water is clean and blue, the sun is bright, the breeze is warm, and you’re surrounded by nature. Then think about going to work in some smoggy city with billboards and posters everywhere and loud music and shouting piercing your eardrums. It’s depressing to be in an environment […]

The Age of Entitlement

Is it just me, or does everyone out there nowadays seem like they have a holier-than-thou attitude? Not even in terms of morality or ethics, but in every aspect of life. Doesn’t it seem like no one is afraid of upsetting anyone anymore? Everyone feels like it’s their right, and even duty, to do and say whatever they want wherever and whenever no matter what […]

“You Talkin’ To Me?”

John Kuvinka — Thu, 20 Feb 2014 00:21:29 +0000

The American IQ

John Kuvinka — Tue, 17 Sep 2013 20:03:45 +0000

It’s another one of those seemingly cynical ideas that have become increasingly discussed these days – the idea that Americans are “getting dumber”. We hear it from family members, coworkers; see it in movies, on TV. Some people look at the notion like a simple punchline or topic for a comedy movie, and others take it a little more seriously. But when it comes down […]
