Default Re: OT: How small is your hometown?

You are very patriotic Mr. Gil but there are many countries that have a standard of living equal or better than that of the US. It's true that the US pioneered democracy as we know it, but that doesn't mean that it's closer to perfect than others. Unfortunately, you don't realize the control that the big corporations have over your government. Why do you think the US trades with one communist country China and not another 90 miles away, Cuba? Could it be the market there in China?

Open to change and criticism? Ok...so do many other countries.

And don't talk about shedding blood. We have a highter per capita % of our military in Afghanistan than you. In fact - the US accidentily bomb us and during the same week boo our anthem at sporting events? Thanks for the help right?

You're right here though - the US has the top military in the world. No questions there. I just don't see why they are wasting so much money into the missile screen which may start another cold war - with what your own critics are saying has low standards and failed 2 of 5 major tests. I rather see you guys use the money to train your people even better giving them the best equipment and protection in battle. They deserve it.

Don't worry Gil, my own country has lots of problems of its own too. Everyone country does. Like I said I love the US and some of their fine entertainment but I just hate it when you talk like you are the only free and enlightened people around...and for the record just because we have universal health care doesn't mean we are SOCIALIST which is what starting this in the first place.
