    I won't let myself fall apart.

    (though I might, for a moment or three, humor my fragility and my weakenesses; somehow, doing so brings strings of strength - I'll take them)

    i don't like america it's too violent and rough, compared to my home there's way more shootings(we rarely have any) way more rapes, murders and missing persons..
    if i were to live there i would need to be famous with public protection or have a body guard with all the creeps that are there lol
    i would never take public transport as a no-body on my own if i lived there

    I love living here. Every country has its drawbacks. Ours happens to be freedom.. here we are free to be stupid.. and as Human nature goes, you give us an inch, we'll take a mile; you give us the freedom to do dumb things, we go full on stupid.. But, unlike so many other places, we have the freedom to do as we choose, here in America..Sadly most choose to be stupid, but a lot of us are smart. We appreciate what we have. And I wouldn't trade it for ANYTHING. Ever.
    As for those last few ending comments, that made me lol.. seriously??? Lol
    Being a nobody that gets to live life in
    Privacy, and dignity, far outweighs stardom.. that was laughable at best. Give me public transportation over s limo any day.. Bodygaurd?? :rofl: for real, :rofl:






    That is all.


    MURICA MAN!!

    I appreciate all I have in this country. Some by fate/circumstances in general, much by years of earning it personally. And, although there are times I think "what the FUCK is wrong with some people?" (here, there, and everywhere) - I know so many who douse that anger somehow, and manage to live with grace and humaneness. With kindness and compassion. I aspire to that, though not always successful in that endeavor.

    Also, I will always love Tree's typos.

    you may laugh i frankly dont care, im dead serious as to what i said and i guess its from living a sheltered life being in perth australia
    people do stupid things yes here but we have just as much freedom as america but we not as crazy by majority and its feels like a good environment for kids compared to america..
    my dad watches till early hours of the morning of crime shows, true shows and many many many stories of serial killers all mostly in america and also plenty in canada and the things they do are sick, real sick and most times victims are woman on rare occasions man and those ones are cruel and sick as well and all for the sake of a thrill of power and sex fantasies and im sorry but that is a rare occurrence here it may happen twice in 10 years what is discovered but america its discovered by the multitude of stories we get here every night new crimes....
    and to think of what is not discovered you can put to the missing persons list,
    its an eye opener and certainly statistics show you can have a high chance of being at the wrong place at the wrong time or be stalked.... here rape and robbery is most common but it happens within circles and rarely home invasions with rape but it can happen but the odds are more in your country..
    im not disputing you have nice folk in america and your ideals are good but you have some very warped people there who have no conscience nor fear authority and the amount of different crimes of serial behaviour we see every night and few of them in one night all different every night is sickening and alarming and i wonder if they avoid casting these shows in your country but here we see it all and stuff that will haunt your mind forever as to what things have been done..

    But we don't have spiders that could pick us up, walk away with us and eat us whole, so we win! :wink:

    I agree with Tree, freedom stretches things in some directions. However, no place is perfect, not even Australia. I could argue a bit about it, but I think we've all figured out that you don't care. That's unfortunate.

    Or, five of the world's seven deadliest snakes.. and four of the world's deadliest spiders, five if you count The Huntsman, though that one can't functionally harm us, and oh yeah... Aren't you guys a giant floating prison???
    Yeah it is crazy here, but go read Revelations.. if it comforts you any, the continent representative of the US, is nowhere in there, just the other six.. so we get dealt with.. still wouldn't trade it for anything.

    No. it just makes you more aware. And thus safer. I'd rather be aware of the things around me, then Lolly-gagging through life; euphoric clouds of naivety swirling about me.

    Oh, and yes I am aware that you guys are no longer a prison colony.. none the less, America is for the brave, the strong, the capable in mind and body. You wouldn't last a minute here. Oh well, you just keep sitting over there, filling your head with grossly distorted facts.. and we will continue being morons.. cause for all you know, that's what we do. ( Just one last thought.. if we're so bad, terrible, and scary... why do all the other countrymen of the world want to come here?)

    First America was a prison colony as well. The majority of the population was shipped over convicts and prostitutes. Same with Canada. Same as Austrailia. As for the brave, strong and capable in mind and body that applies to any founding colony in a not yet "discovered" land, you don't hold the patent on that not by a long shot. And no all of the other countrymen in the world do not want to come there and definitely not exclusively to your country only.
    I get having pride in your country and I believe everyone should. Yes others should look at all of the facts before relying on sensationalized for TV docudramas for their information. But reign in the over fucking done we are the greatest rhetoric, because as the rest of the world already knows and you just Trumpeted from the rooftops, not so much.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    One of the reasons that I love you ND. I realize that came out extremely rude, and was just coming to apologize. I got pissed when I read that.. especially considering the source.. and I can't post the last part of my train of thought AG. Anyhow,.. JWPearl, I apologize for my asinine post. ND is right, I need to check myself..

    It's all good Tree. I understand the anger at poorly informed attacks on something you have pride in. You are good people.
