Everyone is a idiot compared to me.
Bro Ed, you are one of the funniest posters on here.

I promise that I'm not being sarcastic, you crack me up.

I don't hate Americans.
I think pity is a much more suitable word.

Pretty funny to me….. You can find morons anywhere. From my perspective, though, I could care less since I live in the best place on Earth and could give a crap less about the rest of the world. It is quite apparent from the "America haters" that post on here all day (as if they had no life) that the reason they are so down on America is because of sheer jealousy. It's not our fault your country sucks.

I can think of so many better places in the world to live than America.

Name better places, Please. And reasons why.

GRANNY.

GRANNY.
Costa Rica:

Comparable living conditions, beautiful beaches, kind people, many opportunities for work.

Canada:

Beautiful women, good beer, less people telling me what to do, socialized medicine

Amsterdam:

Legalized pot, beautiful countryside, great food and nicer architecture

Anywhere in Europe:

A school system which doesn't force students to attend, and consequently, doesn't fail.

Anywhere else in the world:

More freedoms. You are indoctrinated to think that a democracy gives you more freedoms. The reality is that everything you do in the US is controlled and monitored by the government. I can't take a dump without the IRS demanding that I give up my right to privacy. I'd rather live somewhere where the authority doesn't restrict me.

HUH?

- All those places are democracies.
- The US government controls and monitors...? Try Sweden or the UK for being monitored and being filmed.
- You..dump..the IRS...what on earth are you talking about? How long have you been seeing IRS agents in your bathroom?

FMF, recc'ing posts just because the poster is completely drunk could be misunderstood.

ok...

I wasn't saying that they WEREN'T democracies, only that ours is completely controlling. You are obviously brainwashed to believe that the US is a free country.

Did I mention Sweden or the UK? Nope, I didn't.

You've never been audited/monitored/contacted/violated by the IRS? Well, you need to just wait a little bit. They continually invade people's privacy.

I'm packing my bags right now! The US is a big country and you can find all the good aspects here that you mention in other countries. What boils my bile is the total intrusion into every aspect of my life by the Federal gov't and it's about to get even worse with whoever the next Pres. is. Please shoot me!

Most people like the place they were born and grew up.
Just don't confuse that with the right or need to patronize, ridicule or insult others.

And please refrain from using Danish chessplayers for your forum name when your perspective is so self centered and your outlook so narrow.
