I was actually quite surprised myself.
On the count of Gaiden, yeppies, I lovied it.

I envy you guys living in nice first-world countries. There, I said it.

[RE-Hiro]

I don't live in a first world country... Mexico is a third world country...
It makes me so sad... i wish i live in USA, i really love it....

My confession here is that, sometimes, i feel like i don't belong here... like i was meant to be born in USA.
The times i've been in chicago i felt like finally i found my place. I feel more confortable with the usa culture, i love the houses, cities, how clean the streets are (here in mexico the streets are filled with garbage like plastic bottles, plastic & paper bags, papers, etc.) how things work there. Once every week, i miss chicago and i wish i was there.

By the way, where are you from biohazard_star????

[biohazard_star]

Philippines. 'been to the US two times.
Anyway, at least it's Mexico. You're like what, a drive away from the US?

UK? Nice? First time I've heard that!
Seriously though, not a nice country at all in regards.

You people seem to forget a whole hell of alot of things.

Take for example, our government. It thinks that it can police the globe. Not to mention, most people here are stuck-up assholes who think that just because they live in the USA, that we're better than everyone.

Crime, poverty, racism, general hatred, bigotry, pride, sloth, lust, and greed are the only things I have experienced and witnessed in my 23 years in this country.

There are upsides, however, but they are far and in-between (EG, an extreme fucking rarity).

Sorry guys, but the USA "dream" has long been lost. Sure, you may find some happiness here by being able to do and say whatever the hell you want, but it's really not all it's hyped up to be; they're are many downsides to this. Plus not to mention, we are generally hated by most of the world, and I blame noone.

I would gladly give my life for one that wasn't grown up in a country where things are taken for granted...

Sorry to jam all this up & posting alot, but a poster in my class comes to mind.

"Celebrate Our Differences.
Share our simularities."

Absolutely no-one takes effect to this.
People don't want to hang around & be friends with the "different" people.
They'd rather everyone would be like them, but if that is so, what's the point in life if everyones the same?

Also, I have asked a homophobe & racist whats wrong with them, and they simply gave me a "fck off", or "bcause there gay/black".
I swear, the hypocricy in this world is beyond depressing.
I know you can say I don't know alot about this world because I'm only 13, but oh well.
Rant over.

P.S. Games & T.V. is what makes me forget about these assholes. ^^

i absolutely agree, the american dream sadly is gone. there's so much unfairness in this country, and people like to believe that it's only black people that get the short end. but there are a lot of poor white people that don't get the same kind of benefits that blacks will get. this country's made of immigrants anyway, sure slavery was hard but i think the equality is lost on some level. and i don't think everyone can be treated equally either.

i wish america would stop minding other people's business and just focus on it's own problems, fix their economy and the needs of the people. it's why a lot of people hate us anyway, it pisses me off when i talk to people from other countries and they automatically deem you a rich yank who doesn't know about hardships. well my family's come from a third world country as well, i may not have known the hardships my parents went through but i do know poverty exists. and i've lived poor for a good deal of my life to be humble. but it does provide opportunity, which if you play your cards right you can get somewhere.

I'm an athiest (small confession), and seeing and hearing the kinds of discrimination they are subjected to even in the main stream media, I'd rather not live in America.

For someone to seriously argue that there can be 'freedom of religion' yet not 'freedom from religion' just seriously astounds me. Her IQ must be smaller than her shoe size.

Watch the above video, and sub-out 'atheist' with the words 'black person/people', or 'muslim', and tell me there wouldn't be a fat-wa

How 'bout we just trade places then? Surely you won't mind. >.o

I think European countries are much more relaxed than the USA. If I ever wanted to get out of Spain, I'd go to another European country. I've always liked the UK, but the crappy weather turns me off (ahh... sunny Spain and its beaches), so I guess I'd go to another mediterranean country like Greece or Italy. For some reason, I've always wanted to see what it's like to live on an island, so I guess my fate is in Mykonos .

[biohazard_star]

Personally, I'm sick and tired of sunny (HOT) weather. If I could lock my country in a dome with a giant perpetually-running air conditioning unit on top, I'd do it.
