    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. 

    Assholes.

    Hate crime should carry significant penalty.

    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.

    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.
    And you have 20 pages worth of "America sucks!" posts. We get it bud, the horse is dead 
    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.

    They haven’t caught them yet, but he and his girlfriend filed a report from the hospital.

    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:

    people.

    Good to hear your friend is doing better.
     Idiots like that attacking innocent people must get caught.

    Thank you brianlux and lastexitlondon for your kindness.

    for some posters here, this question is the equivalent to your spouse asking you if her ass looks fat in these jeans.

    This thread is equivalent to obsessing about your spouses faults and constantly reminding them
