12532, If you don't like it, leave
Posted by Bombshell, Fri Jul-06-01 08:47 AM
or do something about it. Nobody is forcing you to be an American. Nobody is forcing you to live in America. Don't like it? Leave it. Don't want to leave? Then appreciate the reasons you don't want to leave... and do something to CHANGE the things you dislike. Don't sit on your ass and complain. You have a voice and you have a choice. If you don't want to ACTIVELY be American, then leave America. Do you have any idea how many people would give their right leg to live here??? I think you are ungrateful... why don't you move to Tijuana or Afghanistan. These places where people live in poverty, or people live without basic human rights.

Then leave this country and make space for someone who will appreciate it.

>& self-destructive culture
>There's your foundation!!
I've nowhere stated that America is a perfect country, but the ideals... the ideals that the country was founded on are something that EVERY human deserves and can respect. Just because those ideals aren't a complete reality doesn't make them not worth fighting for or invalid.

That document is the only thing seperating you, better yet, PROTECTING you from losing every right, like the right of free speech, you know that right that allows you to go on the computer and talk about how much you HATE America? Well, move to Iraq... print something about how much you dislike your country and get shot.

> I realize not everyone
>>possesses them, but this is
>>one of the few countries

>>possess them you can speak

So does that mean the truth should not be spoken? The truth is WORTH DYING FOR. Maybe your truths aren't, mine are. You should evaluate your own beliefs before calling out the names of great men.

SInce you so obviously hate the government, what are YOU doing to change it? What positive actions have you taken to make a difference in this unlivable country that you've been so begrudging forced to reap the benefits from?
