Let's talk about how "great" this "wonderful" country is, shall we? Where to begin.. I can tell you how much I "love" this place:-I refuse to support a gov't run by a buncha rich/white/war-mongering jackasses who only care about themselves-I refuse to support a military, who many "soldiers'" enlist and have NO idea why they're even going to a pointless/immoral/illegal war... -I refuse to support those same soldiers who've raped and killed thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians-I refuse to support an evil f*cking dictator of a "president" - A megalomaniacal LIAR.. Someone who has absolutely ZERO business running anything, much less a country-I refuse to support the "christian morals" that this country is so proud to claim itself to be built upon... I don't believe in organized religion, and I don't believe ANY gov't has the right to tell people what to do with their bodies (homosexual marriage not being legal, the move to ban abortions - it's bullsh**!), or what "god" to believe in-I NEVER said the "pledge of allegiance" in school-I don't believe in becoming a part of the masses who gobble up every single f*cking thing the media likes to cram down their throats, not question ANY of it, and ask for seconds with big sh*t-eating grins on their faces - And those who dissent or have any sorta different opinion is labeled as a "terrorist" on the spot (Like I may inevitably be)-These're the same people who claim "america is the greatest country in the world" which is the BIGGEST crock of f*cking sh*t I've EVER heard... How the F*ck could anyone living her proclaim it to be the greatest, NO ONE can say that about their country, I don't care WHERE you live! Why? Because no one has ever lived in every single country in the world! So that statement just reeks of sh*t.-I refuse to be a part of that arrogance... The arrogance that's so blind to how the rest of the world views them - the laughing stock of the entire world!Now I know the above statements seem bitter and/or hateful. But I don't "hate" this country, nor do I "love" it... Unfortunately I would be f*cking GONE (Don't start in on the 'love it or leave it' garbage) I would be gone in a heartbeat if it was so easy for someone to move OUT of the country, as it apparently is to illegally make your way (and stay) IN this f*cking place. This country does have some good people, and does have some nice/interesting places and aspects about it... Not EVERYONE is stereotyped into the statements I've made, but I'm going by what the majority has shown me. I am embarrassed and ashamed to be even remotely associated with this fu*kin' place for the most part... Not only because of the gov't that "runs" things, the war, the "christian" mindset, but a lot to do with the arrogance of it's people, I'll never be able to subscribe to that bullsh**, it's simply not right. I've been to other countries and I can tell you first hand this is most definitely NOT the "greatest country in the world".... If people want to be "proud" of where their from, that's their choice. But on the flip side of that, not EVERYONE is "proud to be american" simply because it's not their fault they were born here.

 

[playaofthegame]

so you'de rather live in Iraq or another third world country?nothing against those countries but even the ghettos here dont compare to how bad it is there..we may have a bad government but at least we arent being bombed on a daily basis..and if you have a computer which you, sir do...then you aren't having any problems..you arent out on the streets starving..so I say you're doing fine

Boy, that's the understatement of the year... And you say "at least we're not being bombed on a daily basis"... That's right, we're not... Do you know WHY? Because it's US who's doing the bombing! Geezus! And if we don't end this war soon, that'll end up changing eventually.... I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that people in other countries didn't have computers - so I guess only those in AMERICA have access to the internet and computers, and aren't starving... Isn't that right?

 

[playaofthegame]

you completly took what I said out of context..you act like it's so bad here and life really sucks but in third world countries such as Iraq im sure they dont have many computers..if any at all probably not much internet access..stop crying about the war..we're going to be out eventually..im against the war but the war is the reason the USA sucks?please..you live here, you eat here and you arent in harm's way so stop whining

 

[Noah]

Shows your not paying attention... You think the only reason I can't stand america is because of the war... Do I REALLY need to point out all of the above points I've ALREADY made to you again? I'm not going to, all you have to do is scroll up and see that the war was one of many reasons I have sucha disdain for this f*cking place.... Another added one, (just for you playa) is that this country NEEDS nationwide healthcare... Free healthcare for all of it's LEGAL citizens... Then of course the prices to everything would have to be raised, and everyone would bi*ch about that, and not want to do it... So that idea isn't even going to happen...You know what I love? When someone says they're disgusted with this country and wouldn't mind moving elsewhere, all of the "defenders" come out and say "Oh well try living in a 3rd world country!" and I'm loving how they make it it seem like 3rd world countries are the ONLY alternative to living in this fu*kin' place... Ever heard of Canada? How about Australia? The UK perhaps? (Scotland is a part of the UK - did you know that?) How about France? Maybe China or Japan... All NON-3rd world countries, all countries I would consider moving to if I had the money and resources available.I live here/eat here because this is where I was (unfortunately) born. Again, it's not so gaddamned easy to move OUT of this place, as it is to sneak in. So stop making yourself look like an ass, when you continually suggest that the ONLY other countries for americans who can't stand it here to move to, would be the 3rd world ones. It's nonsense.

Homosexual couples should be able to have the same rewards and benefits of married couples, but when you get to the actual term marriage it comes down to religion and not politics.I understand a lot of your beefs with the country, and I'm not going to argue it, but I disagree with a lot of what you're saying.

So you obviously don't like living here, so where else would you like to go? South America is largely a economic mess, Africa is also an economic mess, the middleeast is a complete mess. Europe? They are pretty much the same as we are, Australia? Been there, they are pretty much like us as well. My bet is that your not a very happy person, after reading this thread you come off as a spoiled little know-it-all that acts like America is the only country with flaws. Believe it or not, Christians will not take over this country, not all our troops rape children and it's not there fault they are in a war and have to kill civilians (mind you it's mostley Iraqi's killing eachother over religion, not us). You have to realize that this country's not just about religion or the War in Iraq. I believe it or not had a similar attitude that you had in most of high school. 'America is stupid and ignorant'. I've grown up and realized most of the blame America first people are just as stupid as the people they are bashing. I'm not saying America is the best country in the world but it's much better than most. I've been to other countries and this is the one I will always call home.

I don't believe in becoming a part of the masses who gobble up every single f*cking thing the media likes to cram down their throats, not question ANY of it, and ask for seconds with big sh*t-eating grins on their faces - And those who dissent or have any sorta different opinion is labeled as a "terrorist" on the spot (Like I may inevitably be)

What do you believe in that is different than the media? Who does the media undeservingly call terrorists? Your not a terrorist, just an idiot.

-I refuse to support an evil f*cking dictator of a "president" - A megalomaniacal LIAR.. Someone who has absolutely ZERO business running anything, much less a country

He's an idiot but not a dictator...Iran's President is an idiot and a dictator.

-I refuse to support those same soldiers who've raped and killed thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians

So my cousin is a murderous rapist? A very small percentage of soliders are rapists and killing civilians? It happens in war all the time...

-I refuse to support a gov't run by a buncha rich/white/war-mongering jackasses who only care about themselves

Every government on earth is run by rich jackasses who are self obsessed.

-I refuse to be a part of that arrogance... The arrogance that's so blind to how the rest of the world views them - the laughing stock of the entire world!

Ahh...you know everything! And all other Americans that don't believe what you believe are arrogant idiots, am I right? Why should I care about what the world thinks? We are the #1 country in the world, the one that everyone is obsessed about...whatever we do is put under a microscope...Why don't all these sh*t hole countries that hate us put their hatred to good use by actually improving their own shithole country?

I'd MUCH rather live in Canada or Scotland as I've already stated... You wanna talk about economic mess? Did you know we're trillions of dollars in the hole? I'm not even going to mention the sh*tty health insurance system out here.

My bet is that your not a very happy person, after reading this thread you come off as a spoiled little know-it-all that acts like America is the only country with flaws. Believe it or not, Christians will not take over this country, not all our troops rape children and it's not there fault they are in a war and have to kill civilians (mind you it's mostley Iraqi's killing eachother over religion, not us).

If you bothered to read, I said there WERE some decent things about this country... Just not enough to make up for the sh*tty things... And ALL countries have issues, I'm not disputing that. The fact that americans think theirs is the best, and wants to make sure everyone knows what they perceive to be a "fact" is what f*cking disgusts me.

You have to realize that this country's not just about religion or the War in Iraq. I believe it or not had a similar attitude that you had in most of high school. 'America is stupid and ignorant'. I've grown up and realized most of the blame America first people are just as stupid as the people they are bashing.

It's not? This country is run by a gov't who takes it's pride on being based upon "christian morals"... 'In god we trust' on the money, etc. The war was completely unnecessary from day f*cking one. There were NEVER any WMD's... This country blindly supported something that has inevitably turned out to be just like something very familiar called: Viet Nam.Not only that, but this country has MASSIVE financial problems... MASSIVE retirement/medical insurance problems... For christ's sake, look at the disaster last year with Katrina... As SOON as that hit, right after, the troops should've came home from Iraq and helped fixed things in their OWN f*cking country! There's so much that is wrong with this place... Again, every country has their problems, but this one is in denial about a lot of the issues it has.

I'm not saying America is the best country in the world but it's much better than most.

Really? So you've lived in most other countries of the world? Because unless you have, you have ZERO leg to stand on.

plus Noah if you want free health care so bad why don't you drive up to Canada or take a boat over to Scotland whenever you break your leg or you're sick..or do you just not go to the doctor's office because tehre isn't "Free" Health care?you're just as "arrogant" as the people you complain about are if you go to the doctors when you're sick..you're giving them money..oh noand by the way..you probably don't know sh*t about economics..but when you have free health care like countries like Canada do..did you know that the prices for other things like your bills go up? it all goes back to the government..the same amount of money as people in America pay..whether you acknowledge that or so blindly don't

 

[BrewCityBuck]

Not to mention in Canada you often have to wait monthes for certain types of treatment because of waiting lists and lack of equipment. The taxes in Canada are very high. 'Free' healthcare is nice though.
