...you have a major part of the workforce protesting against receiving time and a half pay just so they can be home with their "family" during a holiday that celebrates the mass murder of the indigenous people that made colonization in this country possible.

Umm who the fuck gives a toss.. Some people hate their country cause of their beliefs, particular area they live etc etc... Some people love their country because of the area they live, patriotic pride etc etc... Guess what? They live in the same country..

Alot of people have pride in their country.

Your a jerkoff.  America is awesome.


Still generally speaking its shocking how many educated Americans have been successfully conned by the ruling upper 1% on nearly everything.

This country was built on one thing and one thing only.  The fact that EVERYONE can be middle class.  Thats it.  And thats what allows us to have a private sector that supports the public and not vice versa.  But when the 1% tries to take that away and is successful in doing so it makes you basically pity all the poor fools who they've conned into being their allies.

We aren't talking about beauty man, we are talking about LIVING there, as in that's your country and you stay there.

In all honesty I'm human, I missed some places I wouldn't mind living in. Austria is fine and I already addressed New Zealand. If you read you would realize it says Netherland Antilles aka Carribean Islands. Shit even the kid that defended Ireland made me reconsider.

That wasn't the point of my post though, the point was that when Thizzle said that America isn't the best place to live he was right, but there are tons of countries that are much worse to live in than America.

I'm pretty damn glad I live in America. Some of the most beautiful places in the world are found within our borders, along with some of the best educational institutions, most desirable cities to live in, a low cost of living (relatively), and some of the world's greatest skiing.

I am not American. But I'd have to say that it's such a fucking awesome country. I love America. You guys have a lot of diversity in one country. And your country is FUCK OFF HUGE. You're all the most patriotic people in the world. Which sometimes is trashy, but really, it's pretty awesome to see. You guys have an epic sports community and i've always thought it would be awesome to go to school in America and not have to wear shitty uniforms.

It has a lot of problems, but all countries do. It is better than living a lot of other places. Who cares if there's somewhere better?? Be happy with what you've got! Nothin' wrong with Muricah.

I'm glad im Aussie, wouldn't want to be any thing else. But i love traveling all over the world too.

Skiierman, why don't you just tell us about your world travels and cultural experiences outside of the US so we can all sit in awe and be thoroughly convinced that you aren't a babbling moron who's completely full of shit?

Inb4 "when I visited XXX for 2 weeks" and "My Canadian friend said" and "Fuck you I'm so smart and blah blah blah I looked this up on Google and don't know one fucking thing about the world."

1.) Opening stores for Black Friday on thanksgiving is bullshit. 2.) Thanksgiving has it's true meanings regardless of the fucks who say it's all about the genocide of the indigenous people. 3.) America fucking rules, if you live here and would rather live somewhere else for the rest of your life then you are obviously living wrong!

i'm truly curious as to which countries you guys think are better than the usa to live in. i'm sitting here trying to think of one and i just can't. that's not to say there aren't a lot of other awesome places, but in comparison to the huge diversity we have within our borders in everything from climate to culture, no one else even comes close.

This.

Much of Western Europe would have to be pretty similar and close given that travel in Europe once you are already there is very cheap but that would mean you have to travel to multiple countries regularly to get the stuff (mountains, beaches etc) you do in the USA.  Many Americans who will never leave the United States in their lifetimes can still be well traveled.

All I said was that many may disagree with his statement that America is great and that it's awesome to live here. Never said it wasn't better than any if not all the other countries.

I would rather live in a lot of countries rather than the States. and im not talking just about the country from a physical aspect - there are parts of the US that are obviously gorgeous and theres plenty to see and do there. its just the weird feeling I get from everyone in the States whenever I go. to put it bluntly - everyone is just way less friendly/cool, generally speaking. theres just like a weird, unspoken attitude between people who are strangers. even store clerks and other employees seem less friendly

and then the politics in the USA is like, the biggest clusterfuck in the world and nobody EVER seems to be happy with the federal government, which is why i would prefer to live in Canada, NZ, australia, iceland, anywhere in western/northern/not eastern europe rather than the US.

also, getting called an American for the rest of my life would be terrrrrrrrible. I wouldnt even want to visit anywhere else because i would just be an american tourist.

so i know any remotely anti-american opinions generally offend people but I genuinely am not trying to aggravate anyone out there. this is just my opinion.

get ready for New Zealand history. First off Australia was used as one big prison, New Zealand was not. New Zealand was first landed on by british in the early 1800s. The british were not the only ones to inhabit our country, there were Maori here and people from all over Europe were coming here especially the french. The influx of French people lead to the treaty of Whitangi 1840 were Britain officially made New Zealand a colony of Britain . Now with that said from the first settlers until well into the 1870 the british were almost 100% reliant to Maori for all food sources (maori owned land and were bloody good farmers). Therefore almost every settler had to be part of a Maori tribe in order to survive. They learnt the Maori language then the accent evolves from there

The resorts just opened up last weekend and you really can't go skiing when you have work and school... I mean how did you think that was an insult? Oh that's right, you're an inbred retard that doesn't know that snow melts during the summer and resort passes are expensive as shit.

Doubt hes in med or law school.

If he is taking a masters program fulltime and isn't working he should be done before age 28/29 whatever he must be and if hes doing a doctorate well he should be mocked for thinking someone as dumb as him can get work in academia with his French Candaian Separatist history thesis or whatever the fuck that moron would do.

Lots of people take classes, ski, and also have to get a job to support themselves.  If you want to mix 2 of the 3 let alone all 3 it can be hard to do any one of them exclusively.
