    Well done
    But you still think it's the greatest country?
    Never said it was the greatest, and i'm very aware of my countries downfalls, thank you very much

    Dude, you fucking obsess about America. Do you wake up ranting about the evil USA? Good lord
    I think this thread concerns America. I might be wrong though. English is not my first language.
    Yup 38 pages for people to criticize America.

    America opens itself up for criticism when you spend 6 trillion on war, yet there is never enough money for poor people, homeless people, health care...on and on.

    Well... when you ask the question... you should expect honest responses.

    If the thread title was 'Reasons Why America Is Great'... then criticisms would be misplaced.

    And if America sucks so bad, why do some people here spend so much of their day trying to convince people that it does?  Compensation, validation?  Sweden doesn’t suck, but my impression by the representatives here is that the people there sure do.
    We may have some crappy things that happen here, but we sure as hell are generous:

    So, you're saying you just want 20 pages of "Americe is the best!" post in a thread asking if America is the greatest country?

    Isn't that kind of thinking what is wrong with your country to begin with. And making people think that having kids eat crisps/chips for school lunch is the only way it can be done.

    A good friend of mine was attacked and beaten because he is Jewish yesterday in Portland. What the fuck is going on with this country? They spit on him and called him racist names while breaking 6 of his ribs, his nose and demolishing his lip.

    This is sad
    Anti-Semitic attacks have gone up 57% in the last year. And almost as much the year before. 

    This has happened with racist-in-chief in office and
    little eichmann (Stephen miller) advising him.
    They have made it okay  for the people who have  been raised on a rhetoric of fear, hate, ignorance, jealousy, and lies to act like animals.

    I hope the perps are found, arrested, charged, prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, found guilty and serve the full term of the maximum sentence. Sorry to hear this and you’re right to ask, WTF have we become?

    They do when the federal government weighs in. I'm sorry your friend had to endure such a horrible attack for absolutely no reason. Intolerance has been unleashed in America. It was there but under the surface and dying to some extent. Trump didn't create it, but he gave it oxygen.

    I very sorry to hear this disturbing news.  Good thoughts for healing for your friend.  Please let him know there are many here who care and wish him well.

    Steve Miller (child of Jewish immigrants) is the pot stirrer in chief and has Drumpf's ear. I can say without feeling like I'm loosely calling names that he is a despicable, divisive, hate-filled person.  A lot of the most horrendous laws and policies are fueled by his disturbed ideology.
