I'm get so sick when I hear an American spew out that America is the free-est country or that it's the best country to live in. Here are some facts: 1. Americans killed, at this point in time, 650,000 Iraqis and 3000 American soldiers based on lies. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6248509&ft=1&f=2 2. American media, national and local, is controlled by the government. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird 3. America sends more money to Israel, the biggest terrorist nation in the world, than it does to its own people. http://www.wrmea.com/html/us_aid_to_israel.htm http://www.ifamericansknew.org 4. USA healthcare is the biggest killer of Americans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iatrogenic 5. 50,000 Americans died in Vietnam fighting communism, but now USA ships all of its jobs and money to communist China. http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/gyzg/t230529.htm 6. American spew out the slogan to support our troops, all the while they let veteran benefits get stripped and gutted, and let the USA send more troops to get slaughtered for a war based on lies. http://www.veterans.house.gov/democratic/press/108th/3-13-03budget.htm 7. Americans are the second largest terrorist nation of the world, second only to Israel. http://youtube.com/watch?v=QMA4Y7_IWDQ http://youtube.com/watch?v=WjPoeQRewiE I know a lot of people will spew that if I don't like it here then I should leave. Don't worry. I will. I'm just ashamed that when I meet people around the world that I'm from the USA.

You're one of those idiots that call anyone who is against "Israel" an anti-semite. You probably don't even knaow what a semite is. Second, you don't even refute the arguments I posed above; you just start calling names. Third, you're a loser and some how think the world revolves around you, because you think that leaving will cause mylot to somehow implode and self-destruct. Do us all a favor and kill yourself.

You stand for hypocrisy, ignorance, and lies. I stand for truth, freedom, and I fight for the things that the USA constitution and the declaration of independence speak of, but I know when I'm fighting a losing battle. America is filled with apathy. Besides, I thought you were leaving.

I plan to be able to pick the best of each country. Ideally, I will work some place for half the year and spend the other half traveling. When I have kids, I hope to send them to school half the year in a country and have them stay with me the other half, traveling as well.
