Why does america suck?

[zoothe]

America sucks just as much as any of the other screwed up countires out there. They each have their own flaws and plus sides. There are a lot of times that I'm like "God I hate this f**king country!" but then I think about the fact that it could be a whole lot worse.<br><p>[size=small][Edit by zoothe on [TIME]1109981267[/TIME]][/size]

Does your topic have any political stand-point or reason? Because you can bash Bush or the U.S all you want, but if you don't have a grounded, credible reason, I won't care.

[Lord Khyron]

Only with Freedom of speech can people spout of ridiculous statements like that...<p>He doesn't count the fact that the US is better compared to communist countries. If he's so hateful of the US and the freedoms it gives, He needs to give up his freedoms and move to China.<p>But wait, if he does that, He'll complain China is such a bad place. <p>There are worse countries than the US, But it goes back to IBM and Microsoft. Why won't people bitch out IBM like they do microsoft? IBM Is more guilty than they could ever hope to me. The answer: It's the in thing to bitch about microsoft. You're 1337 if you do. And the fact that IBM doesn't care. <p>He's only bashing the US because his friends think he's 1337 and COOL for doing so. <p>He should be greatful people have freedoms in one country, when in others they don't.

America defenitely has it's problems, but I find that the citizens of America have it quite easy compared to the citizens in <i>many</i> countries.<br><blockquote>He's only bashing the US because his friends think he's 1337 and COOL for doing so.</blockquote> <br>Hm, quite possibly. If you have an actual opinion, or a reason, that's a different matter, but if you make such an ambiguous statement, I expect you to back it up, Ghost_Stalker.

WARNING! WARNING! This thread has gone political! Duck and cover!

[Mage1]

You mean like debates?<p>*Ducks and hides under near table*<p>This might be a war, like a topic long for the thread.<br>Who is perticapating in the "political"?

[Siren]

*bombs drop*<p>HAHAHA! DIE YOU BASTARDS!<p>*missles fire*<p>YOU AND YOUR BELIEFS WILL PERISH!<p>*machine gun fire* <p>I HATE YOU! AND I HATE THE MUSIC YOU LIKE! (er...)<p>Ah. Politics. That was a refreshing debate. I'm glad I made my stance clear...

[Benoit]

Eh... Since the original poster doesn't even explain the origin of his question, this topic is pretty useless...<br> <blockquote>He should be greatful people have freedoms in one country, when in others they don't.</blockquote><br>That sounds to me like ignoring the fact that there are other countries than the US and the communist countries.<br> <blockquote>There are worse countries than the US, But it goes back to IBM and Microsoft. Why won't people ***** out IBM like they do microsoft?</blockquote><br>Because we look at the present, not at the past. IBM doesn't have a real grip at the moment.<br> <blockquote>That is plain sexism. Homosexuals have as much right to be married as the rest of us do.</blockquote><br>That's not true, as marriage goes back to things that are not compatible with homosexualism.

Everyone has their diffences, and that's what makes this world the way it is. I accept people for who they are, not what they choose to do. :p I have many friends who are very different than I, but I can see past that.<p>Homosexuals can do what they want...but getting married shouldn't be one of them.

Yeah, I'm a Christian. I said that I accept people, and can see past the way they are and what they choose to be.<br><p>[size=small][Edit by Dreamer on [TIME]1110121474[/TIME]][/size]
