Too all the people that say pack-up and leave....give me a break.
In every country there are things that people don't like...doesn't mean they have to leave. What hypocrites to say this is a great country and than turn around and shit on the first amendment. People are committing suicide and taking therir families with them because of the economy. Health care will say fuck you if dont have awesome insurance. Yeah 100 dollar a pill for heart medication. Let me not start about who we celebrate Christ Colombus who slaughtered, raped, and enjoyed killing the natives here and completely wiping out a race of people. Should I begin with how America started ethnic cleansing and forced women to remove their wombswho were not ethically clean..How about how the government allows any credit bearing company to do what ever the fuck they want and screw people outta homes.
So to the people who think this country is soooo great...nothing can be great...and the worst kinda great is the great where can can't see the flaws. This is just a fraction! of how horrible the country is...and the only reason why I say that is because the country unlike others has the potential of being great.
I live here and I have to deal with it...if I could move I would lol...Japan here i come.
Are you serious??
Christopher Columbus? We don't celebrate the man, we recognize him for his accomplishments, for discovering this half of the world. Without him MOST of America's history would of never happened, or we would of had someone else discover this land and possibly do the SAME shit.
People commiting suicide? Did you ever bother looking into the recent history of those people? Most likely they were already in a state of depression and the fact that they had no money added another burden to their already hard lives... It's not just "OMG, I'm broke!!!" *kills self*. Most likely they already had some other issue like a divorce, death of a relative, a broken family, pressures from society, or something else along those lines...
$100 pill? Maybe because it takes a highly skilled chemist to produce the pill and years of research to make sure it works. and btw the materials and technology used to pruduce the pills are NOT CHEAP.
Health care will tell you to go fuck yourself no matter what, they don't want to spend money. People go to the doctor for the stupidest reasons, so why pay for someone to patch up a paper cut when there are people having heart attacks?
Ethnic cleansing? WTF? When did this happen? I never heard of this, and if it did happen PLEASE direct me to the source of this information because I want to learn about this. But why would we "cleanse" this country when this country went to war with itself to liberate black people from slavery? Why did this country spend decades fighting for womens rights, for black rights, and for rights of other races and immigrants?
Credit bearing companies? Did you not read the contract? I(the bank) own this house, you pay me for the next 30 years to buy it, and if you don't pay me I'm gonna take my shit back!! If you don't understand that, DON'T SIGN THE CONTRACT!!!
This country is not the best country, this country is not the worst country. Just because the entire country is suffering from an economic hardship, so many people want to bail. If you want to leave, get the fuck out, we don't need you here. We need the people that will support their country, we have millions of peolpe that fought and died for this country and EVERYONE that lives in it, which includes you. I have never seen my parents/siblings/relatives/friends get beaten/killed from the greed of another, or because they decided to speak their mind. I have never been caught in an attack by a local terrorist group, local gang, or crooked government official. I have never had to fight anyone to be fed. I have never had my belongings taken from me because someone just deicded they wanted it (I'm not talking about the common theif, I speak of government officials/drug lords/or whoever could hold a position to do so). I have rights, I can speak my mind, I have a safe place to live (compared to other countries), I can persue whatever I desire and don't have to follow some tradition or be picked and told to do something. With people that want to bail when the shit hits the fan, get the fuck out. This country has been able to develop without you, and developed with the ones that chose to stay and make something of this land, intstead of letting it crumble and become yet another war zone/territory/annex for another shithole country. And just because I actually chose to speak my mind and defend my country, I'm NOT saying it's THE BEST place to be, it's where I was born and raised, what I have grown to know as home, where I have had opportunities given to me where I may never find anywhere else (which is why millions of people had come to the USA), and where I can stay as an EQUAL in society as everyone else in it. Oh and it's something called PATRIOTISM. So if you want to say this country is a shithole EXPECT for other people to retaliate and want you to get the fuck out. You don't need to stay in a country you don't like, run to the country that you think is better than here, and why don't you bail when their shit hits the fan too...
