Name a country who's government spends as much money as the u.s. on marketing the country to immigrants. Land of hope and glory anyone? Land of the Free?
Are you telling me that the 50%, or 150 million americans living below the poverty line are "free"? Free to do what? Free to work 20 hours a day to try to survive ? Free to buy the cheapest, nas ...[text shortened]... o die without care when they get sick/old? Free to live in blissful, power free ignorance?

thanks for the good luck charm.
free, free, free! free to rise or sink to their individual level.
i must of missed the whole marketing thing, seeing as i'm fortunate enought to already be here. what do the t.v. ads or radio spots say?
i'd love to see one!
People are flocking here in droves because each individual is allowed to succeed or fail on their own account. so there is hope and oh, the sweet glory of it all.
i'll borrow you're alleged fact of 50% below the poverty line and answer: yes, free to work, free to eat what we choose, free to seek whichever doctor we choose and.... well, i think you've got me on the ignorance thing though my toes have touched every continent, i can't say i understand and can relate to all you fine folk.
don't get me goin' 🙂
nicely stated monster truck, may i add to it?
Free to marry whomever we want. Free to start your own business and close it, sell it, market it and make money with it. Soooo sorry your name won't ever be included in any list of famous anythings except "Greatest Losers That Ever Posted a Thread". We're not perfect, but we are FREE! If you don't believe its a great country, then please convince the millions that come here every year to leave and go back where they came from.

Originally posted by Ragnorakgood point there! that one is being fought over in the courts currently. With new bills, it may come to pass. But in my humble opinion, its not about the "sanctity of a union between two people" that has homosexuals upset, its about legal rights to property and assets and health care and basically money. I hope it gets resolved and that marriages are granted. We have enough divides in this country between countrymen, we don't need one more.
Even same sex?

Before bashing our leaders past and present, I would suggest walking a mile in their shoes wouldn't you say? It's not a job I would want. We watch them age before our very eyes. (except for Nixon that is)
Try looking at some of the rulers Europe has brought forth over the years. Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Louis XVI, Lenin, Nicholas II, Shall I continue?
No we arent perfect, but we are free.
Originally posted by ETeachYeah, those idiots actually committed genocide against white people. They should have picked defensely, voiceless brown people instead, and then, they could have been rightly classed as great leaders.

Originally posted by jeo321True. I understand that if the Chinese all jumped off their chairs at exactly the same time, they could drown America.
y'know its funny. We have the stupidist leaders in history but somehow we still manage to be considered a superpower. China is the only other nation that really compares to the US in military strength. Interesting huh?
Or something like that.
