Puddkingkip's Selfie Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Do you feel free? Do you think America is a great place? I certainly do. Honestly, I think America is one of the greatest countries ever. You could go to just about any other country and not be as free as you are here. Sure it has its flaws, but what country doesnt? Hell even the UK probably has a lot of problems that we dont know about. I hate it when people, especially Americans themselves say that they hate this country, or that theyre not free. It is kinda like a teen saying that he hates his parents and that he wants to run away and his life sucks, even though it doesnt, and when he is grown up he realizes he had a good life. Just like americans that say it sucks, no freedom, etc, but they usually dont grow up and realize how wrong they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrupt would mean they they kinda plot evil things and try to be evil, and they obviously dont want to be big evil guy, which is why you shouldnt take is as far as to say its corrupt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobsplosion Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Mind you that the bad stuff that comes up on the news or causes controversy is an infinitesimally small portion of all the otherwise great things going on in the US. Being a US citizen, and having a US passport will get you basically anywhere in the world. It's fantastic for travel. Day-to-day corruption blah blah blah doesn't bother me all that much when I put into perspective all the good stuff that doesn't get reported.

dabaers Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I feel like its a situation of "its the best of the worst". I would love to enjoy more freedoms that I don't currently have (open carry, not being tracked by NSA for everything on interwebs, hopefully male birth control, etc) but is the best I can see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddkingkip's Selfie Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Eh People use the NSA thing a big case of corruption. Again like i said, theyre not trying to be purposefully evil. And it happened a while ago. They didnt even track what u say, just the numbers that texted each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spicy Ham Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I've been to America, it's a pretty shitty country compared to Australia The communities are sub-par, the culture is horrible, the education system is a joke and the politics are plain hilarious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's true; communities are crap, we have NO culture, our education system is vile crap (I'm not lying, either.) and our political system is... ugh.

PinkiePie Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 my dad came from uk and he said he likes america better. He always said that the uk was really poor where he lived and he didn't like it as much as America, especially since the nice parts of the uk were all so incredibly expensive. He's still a uk citizen tho so wut do i know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also @OP I actually find that as people grow up they start realising that the "America is the greatest country in the world" phase ends quite fast once you start travelling. Having "freedom" is actually very common and practically every other country has the same level of freedom if not more it's just that they dont boast about it.
