Leaving isn't the solution to everything. To be honest as far as I'm concerned America can do what it wants with itself I just don't want it screwing everything else up.

[mycomaster]

America might have it's problem's but it is still the best country runnin. At least we're armed. come get some!!

[mycomaster]

you've obviously come to a major city on the east or west coast of america!!!

I'm an Octopus, and I am more armed than you!

The thing I find is that a lot of people are not openminded. This is about seeing things from other people's perspectives and we all seem to be guilty of being a bit closeminded here it seems. Every country I have traveled to has been great! It is because we are so different that makes our countries so special. Who is to say what is right and what is wrong with a countries culture and government? It pretty much all comes down to your opinion and what you are looking for. America is a great country, but not any better than any other country. It has it's pros and cons just like any other country does. What one likes here may be what another person hates.

Well said sawleaf, I don't mind America for most things, I just don't like the Americans who are less like you and don't realise that America is just one country out of hundreds, it is better in some ways, worse in others, and if it is indeed the most powerful country in the world, it should take some responsibility for the world.

As Peter Parker said, "With great power comes great responsibility"

That might be one of the smartest things I've heard an American say...

just kidding

I couldn't agree with you more, Sawleaf
