That's true...but it's still a little alarming to me. The freedoms aforded to the press by a gov't have been a pretty good indicator of the freedoms allowed to the people. Sort of like a canary in a mine shaft in my opinion.

 

Because there's no place like home. That's about it.

 

America is #1 because we have such a high murder rate.....

 

U.S. is 32nd in infant mortality

U.S. 17th in life expectancy

U.S. midway on the scale of literacy among developed countries

17% of America's children live in poverty

11.4% of american children are uninsured. (opposed to 0% in most other developed countries)

 

I'm not saying this at all.

What I’m saying is that if this is such a big deal to psoper, then why doesn’t he honestly seek light elsewhere? The answer is that's it's really not as big of deal as psoper makes it out to be because he just had King Crab and beer at Outback, hoped in his car and sped back home so he could watch internet **** and old Survivor reruns.

 

And who's fault is this? Is it all Bush's fault?

Why don't you quit *****ing for once in your life and do something about it then?

 

Which campus are you talking about? I know I've seen some pretty good looking girls around Penn State, wondering if you go here too.

 

Sure, why not.

You don't know jack about me, sport. I am participating in my government, and the democratic process on a local level.

 

I'll give my point of view. And I'll be as honest as I can be.

I have lived in several nations and I will state my main reasons for living in the US. First off is higher education. No other places offers what the US can offer in that area for NOW. Second is the money you make doing whatever you do. You make a lot more money here than most any other country. Third technology is usually more advanced here than any other place. And thats about it.

Why I don't wanna live here. Basically the sense of community is non-existent in the US. For a large part of my youth I grew up in a Army base and you KNOW who your neighbors are. And talk to them and look out for one another. In Spain, in my dads hometown, is the closest I can think of ever feeling like the people living in the city help raise the children. Seriously, when I was 18 spending the summer without my parents or siblings, my aunt who barely ever left the house looked after me. I would go out and come back at 5 am in the morning and by the next time I talked to her she would know who I hanged out with, where and what I did. Neighbors look out for one another there. People I never met in my life by the second week knew who I was. I have yet to experience this in the US. Also the safty afforded in other countries compared to here. When I would go out in Germany or Spain, I really didn't have to worry about things that I do here. Here things are a bit different in that aspect.

With all that in mind, if I could raise my future children in Spain but let them get a American education and job I'd proably live in Spain. But since they will never have that same education or job opportunities in Spain I'll stay in America. Just like my parents did when we left Puerto Rico.

Oh yeah one last thing, the woman in Spain are a lot hotter, 7 to 1 female to male ratio, and laid back than in the US.

 

Because I live in it.

 

america is #1 becuase we could kick anyone's ***.......



except maybe china but they have like a jilliion people

 

one more reason:

(New York, October 26, 2005) – The Bush administration is now the only government in the world to claim a legal justification for mistreating prisoners during interrogations, Human Rights Watch said today.

Since we are the only country that claims a legal justification, we're number 1 in torture!

 

^^kinda ironic ain't it......

 

I've been murdered like 10 times already this year....screw this murder rate.
