right now, yes i will agree that america is a little bit fucky. but still, i travel a shit ton. like 2-3 weeks of the month im gone for work, usually in the US, but ive been all over north america. and spent a couple months worth of time in europe, and in japan. and i still gotta say, id rather live in the U.S. than anywhere else ive visited.
we need to just go back to where we were pre 60's/70's when we were the shit, now its kinda like we are just trying to be like the rest of the world.. it especially seems that way the more i travel.
you just have to know where to live. yes we have shitty ass areas that give the rest of the country a bad name. but we also have some of the best most amazing areas to live in the world. you just have to look/care where you live.
i like our healthcare for the most part, right now its kinda fucked now that we are trying to be like everyone else, its kinda a mess, ive got good friends in healthcare and listen to them a bit about it and is some bullshit going on now with this healthcare reform.
our population is not ignorant or fat. again, you are looking at the shitty areas, of course when you look at the shitty big cities and southern states, yes, there are a bit of fat/stupid people. but for the most part its not true.
and in terms of how much we have accomplished in the short amount of time we have been around, no other modern country can touch us. doesnt sound fat and ignorant to me.
and wow thats fantastic that it took thousands of years worth of scientists from all over the globe to get to the moon. we still did it, and nobody else has, thats what matters.
you realize the only reason anyone is where we are currently in modern science is because of hundreds and thousands of years of work and research? thats how it works, science progresses, new things are invented, and new things become possible. and SOME great people do something about it. in this case, we were the only ones to put those thousands of years of research to use in getting to the moon.
