The following are 20 signs that we are witnessing the complete collapse of common sense in America....

#1 According to Wired Magazine, FBI agents have been taught that they can "bend or suspend the law" as they pursue criminals and terrorists. But when they break the law they become criminals themselves.

#2 A TSA manager (not just an agent) at Dulles International Airport was recently discovered to be running a prostitution ring out of a local hotel room. TSA agents have been charged with crime after crime after crime and yet we continue to allow them to be in charge of airport security.

#3 CBS News is reporting that approximately 200 pieces of luggage a day are being stolen by employees at John F. Kennedy International Airport and authorities still have not been able to stop it.

#4 Visitors to the United States must now pay $14 to complete an online form that asks them a series of really bizarre questions. For example, one of the questions asks visitors to the U.S. if they ever "collaborated with the Nazis".

#5 The U.S. military is buying huge amounts of electronic parts from China (mistake number one) and a government investigation has uncovered the fact that a large percentage of these parts are counterfeit. Yet the U.S.military continues to buy huge amounts of electronic parts from China (mistake number two).

#6 A high school senior in Indiana was recently expelled from school for cussing on Twitter.

#7 Police in Chicago apparently believe that our "First Amendment rights can be terminated" at their discretion.

#8 Americans are becoming very cruel to one another. This is especially true when it comes to the weak and the elderly. For example, two "caregivers" down in Georgia were recently charged with waterboarding an 89-year-old woman that had been entrusted to their care....

Police charge two caregivers at a Jonesboro facility with waterboarding an 89-year-old woman.

Clayton County police said Jermeller Steed and Cicely Reed held down Anna Foley after an argument that started over ice cream.

#9 An increasing number of American families are taking out student loans in order to pay for their children's kindergarten tuition.

#10 One town in Massachusetts plans to distribute free condoms to children as young as 12 years of age.

#11 Children in America are exposed to enormous amounts of sexual material on television these days, but we are always so shocked when they try to act out on it. The following is one very disturbing example that happened recently in Ohio....

Authorities in southwest Ohio have charged a 13-year-old boy with raping a 5-year-old girl at a McDonald's play area.

The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office said Monday that the alleged assault occurred Oct. 29 at a McDonald's in the Cincinnati suburb of Anderson Township. Sheriff's spokesman Steve Barnett says the girl's grandmother was nearby in the restaurant at the time.

#12 The following is another example from Indiana of how our sexualized society is affecting our young children....

Fishers police said an 8-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy were caught in a sexual act on a school bus.

The girl's parents are now trying to determine if the February incident was a rape or molestation.

In a statement, police said a bus aid caught the girl and the boy "trying to have intercourse," and that the "bus aid immediately separated the juveniles and informed the bus driver."

#13 According to Natural News, the Michigan state government intends to raid private farms and kill pigs that have "the wrong hair color" even though some of these farmers have been raising these pigs for decades.

#14 An executive order recently updated by the Obama administration would give the federal government complete control over all food, all energy, all health resources, all transportation resources and "all other materials, services, and facilities" at the discretion of Barack Obama. The wording of the executive order has been changed so that this can now be done even in "non-emergency" situations. Very few Americans seem concerned by this.

#15 These days many Americans are very hesitant to get involved with helping out anyone else. For example, an 86-year-old World War II veteran living near Detroit was recently brutally carjacked in broad daylight at a gas station. He could not walk after the attack because his leg was shattered so he began to crawl across the concrete pavement to get help. Sadly, many people walked past and drove past as if he was not even there.

#16 At one airport in Hawaii, TSA agents recently required one new mother to go to a public restroom and fill up the empty baby bottles she was carrying with her own breast milk before they would allow her to get on to her flight. The following is how one local news station described the incident....

She claims agents told her she couldn't take the pump on the plane because the bottles in her carry-on were empty.

"I asked him if there was a private place I could pump and he said no, you can go in the women's bathroom. I had to stand in front of the mirrors and the sinks and pump my breast in front of every tourist that walked into that bathroom. I was embarrassed and humiliated and then angry that I was treated this way.

When the bottles were full, she was allowed back on the plane.

#17 Massive brawls have been erupting at Chuck E. Cheese restaurants all over the nation. Police responded to violence at one particular Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in Pennsylvania 17 times in just one recent 18 month time period.

#18 Thieves in New Jersey have become so desperate for scrap metal that they have started breaking into churches and ripping the copper piping right out of the walls.

#19 Tide detergent has become an alternative form of currency on the streets of America and there has been an epidemic of Tide thefts all over the nation. The following is from a recent article in The Daily....

Theft of Tide detergent has become so rampant that authorities from New York to Oregon are keeping tabs on the soap spree, and some cities are setting up special task forces to stop it. And retailers like CVS are taking special security precautions to lock down the liquid.

One Tide taker in West St. Paul, Minn., made off with $25,000 in the product over 15 months before he was busted last year.

"That was unique that he stole so much soap," said West St. Paul Police Chief Bud Shaver. "The name brand is [all] Tide. Amazing, huh?"

Tide has become a form of currency on the streets. The retail price is steadily high - roughly $10 to $20 a bottle - and it's a staple in households across socioeconomic classes.

#20 New federal rules will severely restrict the kind of work that children can do on farms in America. Kids will be banned from doing many of the most basic kinds of farm chores under the new regulations. Perhaps the children can just sit inside and watch television while the adults do all the work.

As mentioned earlier, what America is experiencing is not just an economic collapse. The truth is that our entire society is collapsing.

For many years our great prosperity masked much of our decline, but now our great economic strength is rapidly fading and it is becoming very difficult to deny how far we have fallen as a nation.

You can find more examples of how American society is decaying right here and right here. Anyone with half a brain can see what is happening to the United States. It really is sad, because America was once a truly great nation.

So is there any hope of a recovery?

Not if we keep going down the same path.

In the end, the choice is up to you America.

This list is a joke, of course you realize.

The most blinding points:

#5. China can't make fake fakes. They can only make fakes. If the order was for Gucci watches, or for Noika phones, or equivalent in electronics, then they would be fakes, right. Because China can't make Gucci watches or Noika phones. If they make watches that say "gucci" and they are better than the real gucci watches, then China is still makeing counterfeit Guccis. The Chinese can only make Chinese things. They can't make a Chinese thing in China which is not chinese. Yet that's the only way to make a counterfeit Chinese thing. The allegation is itself a counterfeit news item.

#19 goes overboard. Tide is NOT a street currency. What? they pay for dope with tide? What a rube.

#16 is complete foolishness. You can't take liquids on an airplane, and everyone knows that, in a bottle. In a breast, yes, but not in a bottle. Goofed here, the creator of this list.

#15 that was in Detroit. You can't extrapolate from detroit to any other part of america, even to those parts where the visitors stay, those visitors mainly who said "yes, I collaborated with the Nazis."

#14 it does not matter if it's Obama or Hitler or God himself, nobody can be given control of resources. This is again a logical impossibility. How can Obama control sunshine? Yet it's the biggest resource that abets life.

#13 there is no such thing as "wrong colour". Plus, pigs can't live for decades or centuries. You can't raise a pig of any colour for a hundred years.

#11 and #12... childhood rape is rampant all over the world, and was long before TV was even invented. Two of my classmates told me in grade school (grade seven) in separate incidents, that they had intercourse with a 2-year-old baby girl in one instance, and with a five year old in the other instance. I remember very well how I wondered what the F was good about that. How can a suckling baby turn a man or a boy on, and excite him sexually? She got no bosoms! It is like a little skinned baby lamb that hangs in the butchershop (for sexual purposes, I mean, babies are cute in ways, but not as sexual idols.) No feminine beauty. The guys answered, well, it's for the gorey glorey, that they lost their virginity.

In Pueblo La Istoranto in Paraguay, a six-year old girl gave birht to a beautiful baby girl. The father, twelve-year-old Perez Juarez Gonzalves, fled into the jungle, and authorities said he must have perished after a search for him for two weeks showed up with nothing. The girl was pictured in the Toronto Star with her baby.

So kids do f. There is no need to tv to lead them into temptation. Plus there is never any sex on tv, at least where I live now. No breasts visible and without clothing, no nuttin'. Maybe a leg or two, and kissing. Big furry deal.

#10 is possible, but not likely. Most other items are unlikely, too, except for the child sex.

#9 is silly.

#7 sounds very ominous, but it's not a fact that police ignore the first amendment, it's a belief they can, and that is nothing more than a belief that six-winded green pigs can fly. Provided they are card-carrying members of the Tibetan Nazi party.

#6 is a spin-off of the news item that a briton was sent back to where he came from because he used idiom on twitter that mean "praty" in English English, but it said "I'm going to destroy the place", which the US authorities did not recognize as a Birminghamshire idiom.

#2 TSA does not exist. It means, "Trans Sexual Airlines", and it's a take-out from a Canadian production for TV, "my little cuz-cuz needs more vaseline."

#1 was a play on words, that first appeared in English print in 1848, when the press talked about the Revolution in Paris. Then it was picked up again by Sir G.B. Shaw, who claimed "not guilty" when his critics of his play "Gamma Guloper" accused him of using an unorirginal and old line. In 1915 the Americans finally used it for the first time in their official allegation that this is the practice of the Guttenschweigenherrgelustigzukaputwamfpfluge, but they were wrong.

Shortly after this every comedian and humouris used this line unitl the Great Depression, when jokes were temporarily outlawd by President Truman, who used his unmitigable power to control the humour resource of the nation.

The "bend it, don't break it" went therefore into hYbernation, and some of it into the underground movement of Subway trains. It was awakane for the War effrot to use it agaisnt the German Naziism, and it also had a long period of flourish during the cold war. The expression finally met its demise, when the apartheid regime of South Africa failed, and there were no longer any unjust regimes left.

It had a short but very lucrative revival, in the pop music culture in the nineteen eighties. Examples:

- Achy-breaky heart

- Shake it, don't break it

- (All night long we're gonna) Catchy, Shooby, Tonight, by Peter Tosh. Some lines: " and if you catchy, don't make it drop coz if drop it will pop and if it pop you can easily bend it and if you bend it, noone can mend it."

After the last chord of this song died, this is the first time in the above post where I saw it again in a long time.

i'm not so sure that is a comedy effort...

#5.. not sure, but lots of fakes come from china, i do know that
#9.. never heard of that myself
#16. what you said sounds more accuate
#15. if they did it in detroit, then it is accurate
#14. I posted that whole bill in mingle myself, last week. it is true.
#13. Pigs come in all colors, having raised pigs myself, i know that some are more favored than others.
#11 and 12. what you said could be true, i wouldn't argue it
#7... police do it all the time... if someone doesn't know their rights, the police will walk over them.
#6.. i posted an article yesterday about this. been happening more and more
#2 is true, i read the story about it last week.

i had read book when i was a child that described what was soon to happen here in america

it described the last days of rome and how we would mirror them

this is all happening now

the scandals and the hoopla of the stars

while people could less of the homeless

this is so disturbing yet most people seem to be unaware of it

disneys goal is to corrupt children

and the governments is to tax you to death

and make public examples of the people

with laws that make no sense

while the elite laugh and play
