Face it Americel. Australia is superior to America in every way.
I'd love to stay and chat but I think I might go for a 5 minute walk to some of the best beaches in the world then I might decide to stop by a hospital and fake an illness and not have to pay a cent to get treated. While I'm at it I might go work a minimum wage job and still be on more money than the average American with a bachelors degree. It's also 2am that I'm doing these things but it doesn't matter because I can go out at night without the fear of getting shot.

It might be hard for you to understand but gun culture is pretty much exclusively an American thing in the Western world.

Nah they're not patriotic, they just talk a lot about it. The person who claim to be a patriot quite often would not hesitate to litter or would not donate a penny to a helpful cause. Imo a patriot has to have a sense of civic duty, he has to participate in the betterment of the country actively beside paying taxes. This is what most Americans lack, they think signing up for Selective Service and voting every four years and standing up for the national anthem means they're patriots. They're posers.
The more patriotic people would be the Japanese, but you won't hear it because unlike the Americans, they don't boast about it. Even the Brits are more patriotic.

Almost all other countries are made up of tribes of people and that's it. For instance, if you're a black guy living in England, and you were born there, you aren't "English" you're a black guy who lives in England.
In the US, you can be a person who just got here yesterday, is very critical of America, and that makes you very American!
That's because the idea of America is for all kinds of people to come here and add good things to the culture. Good things include, not liking America, but talking about why, not killing innocent people or anything. Freedom of speech, equality, and so on are great ideas to be proud of.
Americans can be proud because the country, and individuals, DECIDE to embrace these concepts rather than having them be some tribe ritual or custom everyone has to do or they're cast out of the tribe.

Being an American means being a philosopher where you're constantly applying the ideal to new situations. It's like going to the gym, you always have to do it and be aware of the need to keep in condition.
It always cracks me up when I meet foreign people and they think they're insulting me when they criticize America. I say, "Well, with that attitude, you'd make a great American!"
Tribal people can't typically speak out against their tribe because it upsets the order, insults elders, and so on. But, countries like the US encourage it because it's about challenging and improving the philosophy, not challenging ancient customs, dogmatic religious rules, and so forth.
America, at its best, is something to be proud of because active nature of the system. It goes back to ancient Greece in Athens where they actually had everyone participate in government. We don't have that, but it's kinda close.

That's a big negative ghost rider. I pointed out prosperous countries we've been in and that doesn't fit your narrative so they're thrown out. But, stay tuned, because there's more evidence of your bias...Jesus christ I meant American troops waging war in your country, "raining hellfire". Pretty sure that hasn't happened in France and Germany in the last 50 years.
And you seriously think the problem in the middle east is just because it's full of middle easterners? Have a look at documented history, there are verifiable records of communication to and from US presidents that the middle east strategy is fueling sectarianism and creating wide anti-American sentiment, but this is seen as an acceptable cost offset by better oil prices.
Yeah, yeah I do, because if you'll refer back to the previous paragraph, the only region you can point to that hasn't stabilized after American occupation is... drum roll... the f*ckin middle east! So, you wanna narrow this down to fifty years, completely erase the context of the region so that you don't look like a racist. I get it, snowflake, but it doesn't change facts. They have been fighting LONG before American occupation and will continue to do so. They are they're own problem, but keep blaming America if it helps you feel like a good liberal.The fact that countries don't stabilize after an American "liberation war" is because the fabric of society has been torn to shreds by American meddling since at least the 60s. Ethnic tensions have been stimulated to prevent widely supported governments from forming.
So much cope. What the f*ck does "stimulated" even mean? Please, tell me what part of us finally saying enough is enough with crimes against humanity that FORCES these people to hate each other. They hate each other because that IS their f*ckin culture. Their beliefs are carved in stone with no gray areas. There is no room for sects or subgroups. Whichever has the most dominance rules the others. Period. Have you ever even been to the f*ckin middle east? I have.I'm not from the middle east btw, fukin lol. People like you are what this thread is about: guys so full of the American greatness they can't see that words like "freedom" and "liberation" are tools used to justify bad things to dumb people.
Maybe you want to tell that to the Kurds or the thousands of others who were slaughtered at the hands of middle eastern tyrants.There was a post a friend of mine posted several years ago and a response from a Kurdish man that I keep saved on my phone for every time I question what the f*ck I do and why I do it...


So, seriously, from the bottom of my heart, f*ck you and anyone else that doesn't love this country or support our troops. You act like we enjoy dying for other people. We don't, so we sure as sh*t don't do it to further some liberal-imagined American kingdom. We do it because America is the greatest country on earth - the ONLY ones that seem to give a sh*t whether a country that isn't ours is massacring their own people. Lead or get the f*ck out of the way. 'Merica.

Brahs I hate to admit it, but this country is going to chit. It's not just the liberals, conservatives are bat chit crazy too. We hate each other just because of our religion. We hate each other just because of our political beliefs. We shoot each other up in malls, schools and restaurants. We're racist as phuk. We put a premium on education and then go tens of thousands of dollars into debt to get that education. Then we spend 10 years working to pay that off. Then we buy a house and spend 30 years paying that off. We live to work, we don't work to live. I'm an optimistic brah, so I try to stay positive but forreal brahs we're in trouble. The fukin elite control the government, the banks, the media. Half of our country is fukin brainwashed by the kardashians and honey boo boo. We're slowly losing our freedoms and we don't even realize it.
Sorry brahs/end rant. Inb4 neg train, but I had to give my two cents.

Nothing you said is new, nor does it only pertain to the US. What you see is change, change scares everyone. Maybe too much change, maybe instant change.
You do not ever know if the direction you're heading is the right one until you go down it.

Brah...race would never be a hot button issue if it werent for liberals. They inject race into absolutely everything! They have absolutely wrecked Ivy League schools that are just cribs for fukking sissies who think they are above everyone else because they are Ivy league. Its like the good idea fairy lives in their minds.
