You don't really choose where you are born and it's kind of luck where you end up. BigDD67 posted... Go live in Iraq and then tell how big of a shithole the US is. Signed, US veteran I think there is enough comments to show why this logic is stupid and pathetic. BigDD67 posted... If it's so bad why do so many want to come here? I've worked with so many people who came here and made an incredible life compared to what they had in Iraq, Congo, Vietnam, Phillipines, etc. It's just the popular thing for people with absolutely no clue how good they have it to hate on the US. You don't have to be proud to be an American but your ungrateful ass should at least know how fortunate you are to be born here. I am very grateful of my position that I'm in. My success comes from luck and being in a place where I can work a good a job and work up in life. I can still say I'm not happy with the direction of this country is. I never said I'm ungrateful but ok. --- The Heart Wants What It Wants <cite>ConfessPlease posted [p:937669746] in Anyone not...

The problem with many younger people is they are not grateful. They have no gratitude. Plus they never put their money where their mouth is. All they do is talk and nothing more. They spout change but do nothing to contribute to the change. All they do is point and shout, then go back to living their crappy life. Its not a good way to live.

Like I said I'm insecure and I feel it and it's hard for me to deal with. I actually do think 90 percent of people are decent. Also other countries probably have the same stupid people. I think the government corruption and stuff is the stuff the makes me so mad lately. Thing is, I agree. We do have a lot of bullshit and corruption at the top. Its a serious issue and this country does have a lot of issues. It frustrates me as well. I just think people taking it to this America sucks rhetoric (not saying you, TC, but people in general) have no idea the scope of advantages they enjoy in this country. There are places in the world where horrific things can legally take place in the town square and they dont give a FUCK about your rights or humanity.

America is much, much more than people who died in wars (not all of which were protecting my right to free speech) and it's disingenuous to say otherwise. If I wanted to "disrespect the troops" by burning a piece of cloth, I'd burn a flag of one of the military branches. As it's used right now, flag burning is nothing more than a means of expressing dissent, and there is nothing more patriotic than dissent. Your reductionist view of it does not attempt to understand the person's intentions and instead forces what you think their intentions are onto them. --- "I play with myself" - Darklit_Minuet, 2018 <cite>Garioshi posted [p:937671100] in Anyone not...
