66. oh for pity's sake
what a lame screed. So this asswipe, er, I mean great enlightened being would rather live anywhere then the U.S. I get it. He hates the U.S. And that's fine, but why not just be honest about it?

The stupidest shit gets eagerly lapped up by many here. And this, my dears, is truly stupid shit.

"In real terms, the average American is poorer than the poorest ghetto dweller in Manila, because at least they have no debts."

Who here wants to exchange their life for that of the "poorest ghetto dweller in Manila"? Volunteers?

And then there's this:

"America is actually among the least free countries on earth".

Er, no. Sorry that's simply not true. I'm by no means claiming America is the freest or the best or any of that junk but it's hardly the hell that this oh so superior being is making it out to be.

Let's move on:

"And that’s just physical freedom. Mentally, you are truly imprisoned. You don’t even know the degree to which you are tormented by fears of medical bankruptcy, job loss, homelessness and violent crime because you’ve never lived in a country where there is no need to worry about such things."

Wow, so in most other countries people don't worry about job loss violent crime? Amazing what a pure heaven the rest of the world is.


I could go on, but really the author is such a nasty piece of work and so full of shit, why bother?

He's got a raging hard on over the thought of the U.S. being destroyed and he's pulling on his little penis for all its worth.

Go fuck yourself painfully, buddy. And stay the fuck out of my poor benighted state of Vermont.
