American Dream, the

The widespread aspiration of Americans to live better lives than their parents did.

All of the facist things done in this nation are done to achieve such a thing. Operation Iraqi freedom, the Patriot Act etc...

American Dream, the

The ideals forced upon americans by their government to keep them passive

Americans think they have freedom, but all they really have is the ability to bend over and take it from their government. Up the ass. Yeah.

American Dream, the

Annoying hyper-patriotic crap that America tries to force-feed the rest of the world on a regular basis. Maybe if they didn't commit mass genocide on the Natives, break several of their own promises and live on stolen land it would actually have some sort of honour to it <3

Judge: (to President Bush) You have killed thousands of Iraqi militants and civilians alike, stole their land and oil resources, and to top it all off you blamed it all on a false claim.
Bush: But it's the American Way! (long, dull, over-emotional and hypocritical speech about the American Dream)
Person: People and fish living together... yeah yeah whatever! He's killed far more people than Saddam ever did now sentence him!
Judge: But he was only trying to achieve the American Dream...
Person: Yeah, you're right! Let's raise the flag and honour ourselves for the fact that we totally intervened and devastated Iraq! Saddam WAS evil (and made life bad) and although we have now made Iraq MUCH worse it doesn't matter because it's the American way! *raises flag*
(Definition for American Dream, the)

the american dream

Getting paid a whole lot to do not a whole hell of a lot.

Person 1: Man, I don't want to go to work today. I just want to get paid to sit on my ass.
Person 2: Ahhh, the American Dream lives on.

The American Dream

"The american dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with oppertunity for each according to ability or achievement. it is a difficult dream for the european upper classes to interpret adequatly, and too many of ourselves have grown weary and mistrustful of it. it is not a dream of motercars and high wages mearly, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognised by others regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position." (taken from "the epic of america" by Truslow Adams 1921 i.e the first time the words 'the american dream were used')- translation...the americans cant fulfill this as long as they try to out live everyone else and allways have a bigger and better thing then everyone else regardless of wether or not everyone else is, in fact american. it can also be said that this is an idea of absoloute equality, how is this the case when there exsts a president of the united states that can go to was with whatever country it feels like. AS LONG AS THERE IS AN EMPLOYER AND AN EMPLOYEE THERE IS NO EQUALITY
