Secondo me dal fatto che sono una società che non permette l'insuccesso, che non tollera la debolezza, che non ha empatia e che ha come solo DIO il Dollaro.
Una società profondamente classista.

dominata dalla massoneria

e su tutti comanda la Lobby delle lobby

Esperimenti sociali?

Non solo.
Ricorderei che in Iraq, per dirne una, volevano impiantare uno stato mormone, ad un certo punto.

Eppure là c'è molta più mobilità che da noi. Nell'ultimo anno per esempio amazon ha licenziato migliaia di persone e ha assunto il doppio delle persone che ha licenziato. Anzi assumono a cuor leggero proprio perchè c'è la possibilità di licenziare e una persona assunta non è a tutti gli effetti adottata dall'azienda per cui lavora.
Discorso ancora diverso il fatto che un immigrato e un cittadino vengano giustamente trattati in modo differente; quello che affermo io è che il sistema usa può andare bene per i cittadini usa

Guarda che i licenziati da me citati ammerriccanni sono.
E se la sono vista brutta e tutt'ora la loro vita è cambiata, perchè sono rimasti SEGNATI da quell'esperienza.
PTSD.

E considerato quanti impazziscono e fanno stragi con pistole e quant'altro... direi che anche agli americani 'sto sistema non va proprio bene.

Roba circolata subito dopo la caduta di Saddam.
La prima bandiera provvisoria dell'Iraq è quanto ne rimane.

Church at Al Asad works exactly the way church is supposed to work: two optional one-hour meetings. The first is at 1:00 and the next is at 8:00 in the evening. We generally get about 20 people for the afternoon session and 10-15 for the evening one, with very little overlap. Each meeting is structured like a sacrament meeting all the way up until after sacrament, when we turn to lessons instead of talks. During one of the sessions we do the SS lesson and during the other we do the Priesthood/RS lesson. Sometimes we’ll just watch General Conference talks.

We’re a Group – the smaller form of a Branch – of the Manama Bahrain Stake. We have a Stake Representative for Anbar Province at another base and a Senior Stake Representative in Baghdad. All of the group leadership was leaving as I arrived and a new Group Leader was called. I was called as an Assistant Group Leader. We’re trying to get a second called right now. We have a few people called as instructors, but we’re trying to get a total of six so that everyone just teaches one session once a month. The problem is that there’s so much movement, it’s hard to find people who aren’t leaving in a couple of months. I suddenly feel sorry for the bishoprics of all my single’s wards.

A few odds and ends about the group:

– Two meetings can mess with our institutionalized language. During a closing prayer at the afternoon session someone said, “and please bless that those who could not make it this week will be able to attend next week . . . or this evening.”

– We wear uniforms to church, as we do everywhere, but we don’t really recognize rank, which is a little jarring. I still remember walking into church for the first time and a Lieutenant Colonel comes up and shakes my hand and says, “Hi, I’m Brother B–.”

– We also bring weapons to church, as we do everywhere. There’s a rifle rack on the wall for people who have rifles, but those of us with pistols just keep them on us. It was a little strange at first blessing the sacrament while armed.

– The Jews meet in a room right next to us. They have a sign by their door that says, “Congregation Brothers of Israel.” I am tempted, almost above that which I can bear, to put a sign by our door that says, “Congregation Elders of Israel.”

HOW MORMONS HAVE HELPED PERPETUATE THE WAR IN IRAQ: WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP END IT By being more influenced by partisan politics than by prophetic pronouncements, Mormons have been among the strongest and most persistent supporters of the war in Iraq. Rather than denouncing war and proclaiming peace as God calls us to do (D&C 98:16), Mormon politicians, leaders, and lay members have been quick to endorse and slow to criticize the administration’s incursion into the Valley of the Euphrates. This panel explores the reasons why, even with a recent decline in support among Utah Mormons, support for the war in Iraq is still significantly above the national average. It also makes serious recommendations as to how Mormons could help end the war.
