Hey you cant deny your government treats you like a bunch of idiots.
We have your news networks here in the UK, I know what I'm talking about.
What, and you think the UK is any better? At least we still have the right to hold arms. They don't need to worry about striping your rights slowly
in the UK, you have nothing to fight back with.
As far as the stupid american that posted about social security and all the other useless crap that is provided to us as americans..
1) As far as social security is concerned, it will not be around in 40 years.. It has been proven at the current rate social security WILL run out.
When social security was first created 1 persons social security money paid for 3 people.. Now it takes roughly 8 people to pay for every 1 persons
social security. The money is being drained and spent other places like DoD crap.
(might i add.. dod crap for wars which are unnecessary, and created by the government to get the economy pumping.)
2) Welfare is another american joke. If someone gets fired from a job they can collect unemployment. So, if someone doesnt show up for work and gets
fired, they can collect free money.. Sounds to me like the government is rewarding people for doing nothing.. No wonder the country is in the state
its currently in.
The guy that said that the government "pisses" all over our constitution is correct. A government is in place to keep civil order and to make sure
no one infringes on any one elses rights. Aswell as keeping us safe from foreign powers. Instead of the government has taken on a role as playing
mommy and daddy to the nation. Deciding what we can and cannot do, what we can and cannot say, even what we can and cannot think (if you think about
doing something illegal, you are commit a crime). This is outragous!
As far as moving to another country is concerned...
1) Any countries close to us wont accept american citizens (canada/mexico)
2) It's a long troublesome process to become a citizen of another country..
So what can we do?
I saw 800+ acres of freehold land in indonesia for sale (20-30millionish). If a number of people could come together it would be possible to start
your own country on free hold territory. This seems to me to be a very good solution (as long as the island has an elevated point where you could
build a shelter, for protection against all sorts of weather and devistation. Also needs to have an elevation high enough to protect against
tsunamis.)
I think one of the other problems with america is that the citizens are so caught up in the he said she said. Aswell as the "im right, your wrong"
mentality. People need to get over themselves and learn to be humble. Instead of arguing over who is right, come up with ideas to fix the situation.
In the end it doesnt matter who is right or wrong. Only that the true good natured humanity came out on top. Every day we create a legacy that we
leave humanity with until the end of time.
also... I am a born and raised american citizen.
