In reply to the discussion: Happy Birthday, You CRAZY Fucking Yanks! [View all]AllTooEasy
(1,260 posts)61. Are you referring to me, my political allies, all Americans, or just Repukes?
...because if you are referring to anyone other than the last choice, then you can go fuck yourself. I've lived in several(13) countries throughout Europe, Africa, South America, and Asia. Canada too. No US military assignments. Always as a working-class civilian on an extended business assignment. I've seen and experienced many things that have made me wonder "Why can't we Americans have that?", but each and every time I left my host country with more appreciation for the US than resentment.
...and I'm Black.
I can't imagine how giddy White Americans are for this place!
America isn't close to perfect. No country is close to perfect, atleast none that I've been too. They all have humans! For every one of your American criticisms "a putrid swamp of racism, class warfare, economic inequality, gender warfare...", ATLEAST two are magnified exponentially in every other country.
So leave the US and pick your poison. Either YOUR demographic will suffer to a MUCH greater degree, or OTHER demographics will. Especially for woman or the LGBTs. ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN OR THE LGBTs!!!

Canada has its trouble spots too. And most of what you show are MINORITY views.
