Why doesn't anyone care?

jkwix21 - Thank you for your service sir - don’t buy into the lies and negatives of the bashers - the great majority of Americans are behind you and thankful for your contribution to our freedom - God bless you !!

When you:

1. get a job
2. make enough to ‘set up elsewhere’
3. acquire more clothing Then it won’t be ‘quite hard’ See - it is possible with effort - borders are still open outbound, if desired. I wish you every happiness abroad - I chose to work on change ‘from within’…Take care !!

But, when you don’t have any money whatsoever, when you can’t get a good job to afford to move with more than just the clothes on your back and 100 American dollars in your wallet

The good news is…as part of a democracy, we can all work together, to make the country better. I do what I can - participate in polls, send messages to congress, etc. I’m more personally involved, now, in the political process than I ever was in the past. And I have been for more than a year.

The reason I’m more active? The list of things you said you’re fed up with :) When things were “OK” I had no need to pay as much attention, to push for change, to try to help other people see what we as a country were doing was wrong.

Now, I feel differently. If you’re not happy, do what I do, and thousands others do: act. Do something. Reach out. Even participating, here, helps to spread the message. If you believe something is wrong, suggest an alternative.

300 million people will never agree on everything, but, through education & outreach, at least enough of us can agree to do the right thing, and make things better.

To edit my previous statement above, I love the idea behind the country. Yes, this country could flourish, but so could a totalitarian government, it all depends on who runs it, how they run it, and what they do to the people. I find nothing wrong with speaking out against the Government, I find nothing wrong with speaking out against the injustices that have been put upon us all. I find nothing wrong with saying the Constitution needs to be re-written to include ALL PEOPLE, not just men. I find nothing wrong with giving people information about the amount of our rights that are being taken from us. On the subject of open borders; yes, they are open, mostly. And I would love to leave. I would love to go to Canada, Europe, or Japan. But, when you don’t have any money whatsoever, when you can’t get a good job to afford to move with more than just the clothes on your back and 100 American dollars in your wallet, it is quite hard. I find that Canada is one of the best nations out there. Free health care, free education. What more can I say? We as a people (that’s people as in the entirety of the world) have a right to be educated and healthy. We should not have to pay for it. We should not have to pay to learn at a basic level, we should not have to pay to get our bones mended, our cancer treated, our eyes fixed, our handicaps helped. Universal health care should be a right that all people should have. Universal education should be a right that all people should have. And speaking as such, there are many countries that offer free education, that offer free health care. They do so under socialism, and socialism is a much better type of economic system than that of capitalism. In any case, I respect all of your opinions on this nation and of me. I wrote that and this in hopes that some people would think about what is going on around them, think about the rights that are being taken away from them. Think about the wrongs that have been brought against us, think about the right things that we should be able to have, the right things that we should be doing on a daily basis.

i am an american soldier stationed a half a world away from my 1 yr old son and pregnant wife. I may not always agree with what the president says or sends us. It doesn’t matter how many other coutries general public dislikes us. its the freedom, freedom of choice, religion, and speech. if you were in some other countries, you would be found and shot for saying the things that you just wrote about. but what is great about america is that you can write that, have your personal opinion, and not be shot for it. It is my duty as a soldier to defend your right to say that. how much of good of example would i be setting for my children if i don’t do what im doing? If i do die in the combat zone, i want my kids knowing their daddy died doing what he believed in. and that i felt so strongly about what im doing that i would die for its cause.

ALL OF YOU WHO ARE SAYING YOU DO NOT LIKE AMERICA OR AMERICA SUCKS… NO ONE IS MAKING YOU STAY HERE…SO PLEASE DO US ALL A FAVOR AND LEAVE. WE DONT WANT YOU HERE THEN.

One of thing I like about this country is something called, ah, freedom of speech. Where I came from, you can’t openly bash the government and expect to live. You can’t say anything private over the phone, you can’t write blogs to exchange complaints. The government is more than corrupted. Every donation we receive as a nation goes mostly into the officials’ pockets. For kicks and giggles, they make victims of natural disaster pay for the food other countries have generously donated. The food often goes stale in the storage room while those victims starve.

I don’t think this country is perfect, but it still has one of the best governing systems in the world. Or maybe I’m just over that idealistic phase.

As someone has said… the borders are open. If you don’t like this country, you can always leave. Three times out of five you would be back, though.

this coutry f*cking sucks. we have to get a permit to get a gun but the constitution says we have the right to bear arms. and its illegal to say “i want to kill the president of the united states”, very illegal the fbi will be at your door in hours. but its not illegal to say we have a group that meets under the iffle tower that meets at midnight.

Its like this, and always has been-the Rich are happy with their lot, so don’t complain. The poor are either unhappy with their lot (or they are christians) but dont have the time or the means with which to complain. The answer is simple; Most religion was invented to subdue the masses - so become a ‘God fearing’ Christian and wait for heaven in the afterlife!

Sorry- I dont have a better answer, but I hope do find some thing to make your life feel worth-while :-)

I love this country. Question- what country do you want to live in? Everyone is not getting pissed off by thpse things because most of what you are saying is a load of BS. Sorry.

I LOVE YOU!!!

NOT ME! I’M NEVER GOING BACK TO THE US!! I currently reside in the UK. I think I’ll stay here ;D
