Worst Thing About America

[Spuuky]

The worst things about the United States of America, other than the horrendously corrupt and abusive one-party political system, are the following:

1. Pennies still exist, and things are still calculated in price increments of less than ten cents.
2. Prices in areas with sales tax are still listed at pre-tax prices rather than the actual total amount you're going to spend.
3. Medical expenses are set via collusion by pharmaceutical companies.
4. The educational system assumes now that universities are basically a necessary second high school, and no regular school teaches any meaningful life skills.

Whining.

Baseball.

EDIT: At least Baseball is a hell of a lot better than Soccer.

Out of respect for the man you once were, I will give you one week to prepare for our duel.

Their attitude towards guns is pathetic & pretty Neanderthal. Their health care system is a joke & the country's foreign policy leaves a lot to be desired. Apart from that America's pretty smurfing incredible.

Tennessee's educational standards. We're among the lowest in the nation if not -the- lowest.

Why because we enjoy being free and the one thing stopping our government from going battrout insane with power are our guns? Think about how great the world will be when the US government can just mow you down whenever they want.

The two-party tyranny, corporate-government corruption, and theocratic states.

Think about how great the world will be when the US government can just mow you down whenever they want.

The government has been able to mow you down whenever they want for a long time. You have a right to have a gun, while they have assault weapons, tanks, helicopters, missiles, and nukes. The Second Amendment isn't just out of date because of gun crimes, it's out of date because it no longer ensures the people's ability to overthrow a tyrannical government.

[escobert]

No, but I'd rather have a gun to fight back then to be made to bend over and take it.

and yes they have the ability but, they wold never dream of doing to a western nation as long as they know their citizens can rise up and do some major damage to their precious infrastructure.

[Pike]

I only like Montana.

See, this is what I'm talking about.

P.S. Gun debates go in one of many EoEO threads. Seriously take your pick, there's usually one every month.

​WHINING.

I too would like to add whining.

Sure, but I bet they're real happy that you're content with getting ripped apart by a Cobra helicopter while emptying a clip of your handgun versus it being a fair fight. Your Constitutional right means nothing in that situation.

Isn't it a little weird that there's no guarantee that such a matter can't be prevented or handled internally rather than relying on intervention from the outside world? Why should we have to rely on other countries to prevent our government from smurfing us up the ass when that capability was built into our Constitution? It was intended to be self-correcting. The whole underlying principle of a democratic republic is that we can impose peaceful revolutions every four years with our votes. When our votes lead to nothing but the same two parties, who openly work together to shape the country in the way they see fit, we lose the power to actually change anything. And we can't change anything with violence, either, because we'd have no way to mount an assault. We're stuck.

Florida people (the state itself is very nice).

Do zoophilia towards ponies and necrophilia towards zombies count?
