My feelings about America?
I feel very lucky to be an American. Out of the over 6 billion people on this earth, I feel like I won a lottery to be one of the under 300 million that live here. The country isn't always governed in a way that I agree with, but there are worse governments out there. When I think about all the people in the world who will never learn to read, who will starve before they are old enough to fall in love, who break their backs all day to earn pennies, I realize how lucky I am and I owe it to this great place where I live.
Could it be better? Of course! But it could be a whole hell of a lot worse!

??I was over in Australia and everyone's like ??Are you proud to be an American??? And I was like, ??Um, I don??t know, I didn??t have a lot to do with it. You know, my parents fucked there, that??s about all. You know, I was in the spirit realm at that time, going ??FUCK IN PARIS! FUCK IN PARIS!?? but they couldn??t hear me, because I didn??t have a mouth. I was a spirit without lungs or a mouth, or vocal cords. They fucked here. Okay, I??m proud.???

It's a great nation and the only super-power...that means sth...they weren't given the title...they took it and I have every bit of respect for that...now wars over oil I understand...wars over money and power,too...what a fuck is wrong with smoking weed I don't get? I mean I could agree to a trade...what if cubbage was outlawed in weed's place? I can give up eating salad to gain the right to toke freely...

If you're talking about the American government that is currently oppressing those 280 million people, that's a whole different matter. People often like to confound the two: if you're against the US government you're branded as "anti-American" (a rather strange word when you think about it...how many times do you hear about "anti-Canadianism" or "anti-Italianism" or "anti-Mongolianism"?) and thus you are accused of somehow being "against" all 280 million Americans. It is very important to distinguish between the citizens of a country and the state that rules over them.
I think what the American government is currently doing to this world is absolutely horrendous. The Bush administration clearly either orchestrated or exploited the 9/11 attacks to justify its oil-grabbing warmongering foreign agenda, and to justify cracking down heavily on civil liberties domestically. I think America is in the process of turning into a fascist régime, and this can only be countered by the masses rising up against their oppressors. Unfortunately, there are so many indoctrinated sheeple that this is a far-off prospect and I myself will be emigrating in the next few years to avoid what is coming.
I couldn't agree more. I think there's gonna be a lot of really bad shit going down here, I just hope I have time to do some things I want in life before it does!

When I heard him state that, with or against us statement It felt like someone punch me in my heart them words sounded like something 2 come out of a Fascist Regime :eek: Then I came out of it & said well Im against you... Are Gov't is criminal at its best Both democrate & republicans leaders in congress & the B*shco are corrupt to the core, We need to drag these people out and hold them 4 the Tyranny they have brought us, for more then 60 yrs they have been bringing us down. We need 2 put real people in We The People for the people not for corporate greed or other Idealism. all they do is make more laws 4 us to consume, fuk that.. Man i was arrested back in 2002 4 a half a jay and zigzags i had 2 pay $2500 bail & $2800 fine, the Hi-Po said it was the new laws, back in the 90s I was pulled over like 3 times everytime we had weed and they would just take it nothing else happen (true story) .. what B.S. they sell us.. sorry just sayin the truth

nice way to put it sarge
i concur
i love my nation but not what it does at times,
but considering we get new rulers every so often who suck up to the ones paying for the election cost,
it can change for the good,someday i hope my nation is the one that feeds the hungry and clothes the naked and heals the sick
we all have hopes and dreams.some can come true.
peace
