Your jealous, admit it.
Well I'm moving there soon if that counts. My likes and dislikes about the US as a country and the people living in it are true for any other country, so there's nothing unique in that. I'm apathetic mostly, but the politics bother me a bit.G3|Genius wrote:

If you are american, click the dissilusioned option.
Hey, we're over a thousand years old. We've got all the benefits that the US is lacking, and few of the downsides that it's suffering from. I haven't the slightest to be jealous about.yerded wrote:

In my opinion, our food is better, our education is just as good, and not only is it free, we actually get paid to go to school. We have no need for a military, luckily, and our economy is a whole lot steadier. Regarding the women, I have to concede. My fiancée is American. :pcyborg_ninja-117 wrote:

Something that is funny about this, is that the majority of those surveyed couldnt find Iraq or Afghanistan on a map. I think Steven Colbert said it best, If you want to find out, the U.S. goverment is handing out all expenses paid round trips.cyborg_ninja-117 wrote:

but i think remembering where 50 states are is kinda hard lol but world geography is lagging a bit... which may be a problem{BMF}*Frank_The_Tank wrote:

Words of steven colbert, not me. And yes, the geography part is lagging a bit.

What's your definition of "Shithole"?JimKong wrote:
Considering 90% of the world is a shithole that I wouldn't even considering visiting, I'd say one is lucky as fuck to be living in America.

Well, as far as I know it's expensive as hell to go to college / university down there, that seems to be a "lack of opportunity" for me, since the majority by far here goes to a university because everybody can afford it.yerded wrote:

I like it here so far. If I wanted to leave, where could I go that offers the same freedoms and opportunities?

WOW. What's your employment rate? Ours is under 5%. you're is 2-3x that. your economy is awful. The Euro is, at this point in time, stronger than the dollar. However, the Euro is based on the dollar.mikkel wrote:

1 Euro = 1.2774 dollars my friend.G3|Genius wrote:

You're blind in your hatred for America. Purely blind. You're uneducated. You speak in generalizations to hide the truth that you only know what you have been told. You have NO idea how much the Euro is worth in US Dollars. You probably don't even know what the employment rate measures. You think that it's a good thing that the government subsidizes the jobless, never thinking that in reality it is subsidizing laziness.
Read a book, my friend.

I recently spent a few weeks in Spain. For the most part, I've noticed everything but fish was more expensive than in the US. These German dudes I used to play AoM with always bitched about how expensive it is to drive over there (something crazy like 1-2 thousand for a liscense). Europe has better public transportation (yet more and more are going the American way and buying a car), perks of being in a Union (but some countries still have a caste system), bleh bleh bleh... Everyone thinks their country is better. No one cares. All I'm saying is that I'd like to visit more of the world but I'm pretty damn sure I will always want to call the US my home.PBAsydney wrote:

For prices I think US is far best, atleast hardware prices, the price range down there is only 1/3 of what it's here.JimKong wrote:
