And tell me, how am I going to make this country a better place when the majority of people don't want it changed for the better? All those baby-killing republicans are never gonna change things for the best, that leaves me nothing to do but complain. Or rather, ignoring the problem is much easier on the mind. People go insane trying to solve problems that don't have solutions. There's nothing wrong with loving your country... except when your country is responsible for killing people worldwide on a whim, and the majority of the people in the country support it.

Why don't I leave? Because if I move somewhere that doesn't support the United States I face economic sanctions and bombing. Unless I move to China, but there I get conscripted into the army or die in a factory.

Republican conservative policy isn't trying to make the country more bareable for everyone else, it's trying to futher cement the status quo and make life more enjoyable for its members.

You're right, I could try a conspiracy to assassinate the government, collapse the economy, and whatever else, but even if I went as far as removing 99.9% of the population human nature would still bring this country right back a thousand years in the future, the natural product of our self-centered nature.

Because if I move to a country that supports the United States, that's just as bad as living in the United States. Moving to a different country doesn't solve the problem, and my right to complain doesn't change whether I live here or not.

I dislike America because I don't like being associated with things that other Americans do. The idea that I can be killed somewhere because of the attitudes of fellow citizens of mine.


On another note, I've really become a doubter of what makes America so much better than anyplace else. To me, we have a good portion of middle class who have okay jobs and can raise families. But that doesn't stand out from any western european nation as far as I know. The other pro-American quality I see touted most frequently is our pro-democracy stance. However in history we have not supported democracies, we have supported governments for (not gonna get into any conspiracies here) those that our (government? nation? citizens?) have looked down upon. "Oh they're red they've gotta go." I guess since I wasn't born 50 years ago I really don't understand that era. Or any other from history.

But from my perspective, I see our nation fighting against other supposedly because they're undemocratic, when in many ways our own nation isn't democratic, and when I have serious doubts over whether a rival nation's "lack of democracy" is really the real issue.

I also am doubtful that Americans are more charitable than any other nation, and how that translates per capita and what charities are actually charities, I mean, which are actually an "interest" of some sort.

I just don't understand. Is the United States any better than Belgium? At least Belgium can say that their president doesn't attack other nations on a whim.

This Iraq war has really been the ultimate blow to me. I am incredibly suspicious that all in all there's a lot of truth to all of the ideas about the upper classes really having their way, in all ways. 9/11 to me really brought out what I see as an average American attitude of "If they're different than me and

I apologize, I really don't know where to go with this. For days now I have tried to collect my thoughts but there are just too many to collapse and organize into this text box, thoughts which I can hardly pull together in my own mind, much less spell out and create effective arguments for. I'm probably just a pessimist, though not necessarily a misguided one, and just need to have a drink and stop considering the impulses of my "bleeding heart".
