    There isn't anything is there? In your mind everything pre 1960s America was bad, and even half the stuff since then. You desire for America to be less of what it is and more like everywhere else. Hence why flooding the country with immigrants is something that the left supports...it's like replacing bad America with the new better America in your eyes.

    You have to be the dumbest person with internet.

    The Superbowl isn't targeted? First off that doesn't even make sense. The Superbowl reaches Millions of people. A large portion of those people include the demographic they were targeting. Football watchers usually aren't the wine and cheese crowd.

    Quick question - What do you drive? ......be honest

    Why spend millions of dollars on a commercial to target 100,000 out of 100,000,000 watching event A when you could spend $50,000 and target the 100,000 out of 100,000 watching event B?

    Because it is targeting much more than 100,000 it's not just farmers that respect that lifestyle. Most everyone in rural and small town America respects and to some extent identifies with that lifestyle. So it's more like several million people.

    Before he answers, let's just get one thing clear: No car is "built in America" anymore. The best we can hope for is "assembled in America" but whether it's a Mercedes in Vance, AL or a Cadillac in East Lansing, MI, most of the parts are built overseas, shipped to the U.S., and then assembled here and stamped "built." It's sad, really, 'cause I'd love to see a car totally built and assembled stateside.

    Exactly. That was what I was saying. RT55 was trying to say that is a smart business decision to spend millions to target a small demo during a big event, not target a big demo during a big event. That proves my nostalgic point.

    Yes well all us American loving morons are dying out and there are now more of you than us, congrats you win. What is great though is that people with our point of view turned this awful terrible place into a Superpower and people like you will be what brings it down. When America is no more one day history will see the Democrats as our Visigoths.

    your numbers seem legit to me (rolls eyes)

    Why would godaddy.com spend money on a commercial that targets a minimal percentage of viewers? What percentage of people watching the Super Bowl do you actually think uses godaddy?

    Why would any car company spend Millions to target the demographic they are trying to target? See how dumb you sound?

    Trust me these company's make a return off these commercials. If they didn't they wouldn't do it. The business men who plan this out and create these commercials are more educated and much smarter than you are. They definitely don't care what you thought of it which is why you do what you do (make dumb threads on tbb that you know will end up in political bickering) and they do what they do (run companies). All they know is it quickly reached a large percentage of people that they wanted to reach. Go to a Dallas Cowboys game and walk around the parking lot. there will be more full size trucks there than anywhere.

    you didn't answer my question - what vehicle do you drive?

    that is not where I was going with it.

    My guess is he doesn't drive full size truck and probably won't ever buy one therefore he isn't who was targeted with that comercial.

    1) The ability to be a risk taker; to rise up and try again (I know we don't own this anymore outright like we used to, but in some indescribable way, we do it well).

    2) Being a open and assimilating culture

    3) First Amendment (again, I know we aren't the only country in the world who has a similar law, but we do it better)

    4) Our Geographical, Economic, Cultural, Religious, Idiomatic, and Racial Diversity which is pretty much unmatched by any other country that creates the perfect storm of innovation and diversification that have produced an insurmountable amounts of achievements in business, education, entertainment, arts and sciences etc.

    ---------------------------------------

    Now let me digress:

    Where we differentiate is that I can acknowledge faults and understand that exceptionalism isn't inherent, it is the production of a never-ending process. We aren't perfect and can adapt. That ability to adapt is key to the future. You want stifle yourself or your business or your organization whatever...ignore the competition. Maintain the status quo.
    Not because the status quo is working right, but because change is bad. That's where I see the difference.

    Let me apologize for being a hypocrite about something I usually loathe: I misspoke on terms of relativity.

    I was wrong in saying that there were almost zero family farmers. That's wrong and I admit that. I was being hyperbolic.

    What is true though is the amount of small family farms has been shrinking over time compared to the past and the size and scope of farms and businesses that dominate market share in production and supply has grown in recent decades.

    1) With the over regulation of business now being a risk taker is damn near impossible, as only big business can afford to comply with the never ending tide of regulations flowing from our illustrious capital. The entrepreneur is dying in this country.

    2) Nobody assimilates to our culture anymore, we are forced to assimilate to theirs because we are taught that our culture is bad and that we are the ones who have to adapt.

    3) Agree

    4) Diversity means nothing besides making liberals feel good about life. It isn't good or bad, it just is.

    And your last paragraph is putting words in my mouth.

    Haha. Y'all crack me up. It's all bullshit anyways. They're depicting a facade. There are almost zero small family farmers anymore. If they really wanted to depict American agriculture, it would have been cast tracts of agribusiness like ConAgra and Monsato.

    Y'all just need to accept they are targeting people who get a hard on for anything that shines nostalgic Americana.

    To roll_tide_55: why would they spend MILLIONS on a commercial during an event that is not targeted at all. If they wanted to target rural people, farmers etc. they would have ran it during a PBR event or the Outdoor channel or Duck Dynasty or a Mevraska football game.

    1) No. Risk-taking means more about being able to fail and restart, not comply. It is not only legally easier to do that in this country (laws about incorporation and bankruptcy), but it is culturally acceptable (see Europe).

    2) If this was true there would be large ghettos of immigrants bubbling themselves in culturally with no exits or entrance. That doesn't happen.

    3) sweet

    4)Diversity is huge. If the US wasn't geographically diverse, we would get effed by a major natural disaster or some crop failure or something. Diversity is key to innovation. If you get a bunch of cookie-cutter workers group-thinking then nothing new will happen. Period.

    To the next part: no it is true. Any time I try to say anything that isn't sunshine-pumping or I acknowledge another country's success, I'm immediately a communist American hating douche. It's true.

    1) With the current anti-business environment failing is the more likely outcome, it is anyway but now the government makes it damn near a certainty for most.

    2) Ummm...there are places in this country where street signs are in spanish and english, there are TV stations dedicated to a foreign language, government forms in foreign languages all because our immigrants refuse to assimilate and we refuse to ask them to. Also, ever heard of chinatown, or seen most of LA or Miami?

    4) I was referring to diversity of race etc. and it doesn't drive innovation education and incentive do.
