America: Land of the Free and Home of the Bull Shit.

First time i have checked this "serious" discussion section for a while, i see why now.
Try having an intelligent conversation where you guys refrain from calling names for once.

To the Americans who are disappointed with the way your country has been ran, try doing something about it.
To the Americans who wont take advice from people who either live in other countrys or are from other countrys, if you have never lived outside the US for more than 4 weeks, then you have no idea what another way of life is like so your insular opinion is kinda mute.

All countrys have their own problems, and are not perfect.

To support Patrick though, Modern Germany is a decent place to be.

Nevermind, I'm done trying to show the other side of what the media sensationalizes. Yes, there are a lot of homeless people that really have it bad, but about 1/5 of them intend on being homeless after living a normal life. Those statistics are okay for all around measurements, but you completely missed what I was pointing at (when you refer to homeless people, make sure to refer to the ones who actually need referring for your point). Believe what you want.

The United States is also a decent place to be. Everyone just needs to stop sensationalizing the hell out of it. If that's why people keep saying I'm stupid just because I'm proud of my country (I'm not saying yours sucks and I never did), than get the hell over it. Pretend like it never existed. People blame so much bullshit that they never actually see how great a place actually is. Yeah, my argument was extreme, but seriously, worse things easily happen outside of the U.S. So in light of this mess, I'll just make my posts about the U.S. ninja'd so other people can't read them. Sounds good.

I agree with Maniac on this. My point about my country isn't that it isn't better than all of the others, but just a plain good country to live. From what I've heard, same goes for Britain and Germany.

I'm with you on (most parts of) the United States being an OK place to live, but Britain? Now you're just being silly.

Have you ever lived there, cn #'s?

I have never lived in the US, or us, as they like to be called so i have no idea what it is like to be a citizen there. I have however lived in the UK, Ireland and Canada.
Canada (to me) has a far higher standard of living than the UK or Ireland.

Its about time all you pissed off Americans did something to change your country anyway, imo.

Can i ask a question to the American citizens?
How much does it bother you what other country's citizens think of you as a population?
(not looking to badger anyone or flame, just interested to see some answers.)

I've visited for extended periods vOv

Whats the longest you have stayed there?

I have lived 2 Years in South America, 2 Years in Mexico, 4 Years in the U.S. and 11 years in Germany. I pretty much know what's going on except for those Chinese baby makers.

Haters gonna hate. To be honest, theres no other way to look at it. It may have its imperfections, but the US is not a bad place to be, and the people in it are far from as bad as we get reputed. However, our media has the fun habit of exposing the negative because it sells. Besides, its my personal belief that anyone who doesn't by default give the benefit of the doubt to a stranger isn't worth knowing. I don't need to deal with people judging me because of the place I was born.

I would rather have my media expose the nagtive, than a country like Canada where you don't know what's really happening.

P.s. I love Canada. <3
