- Freedom of speech. It's there, what were you prevented from saying? If anything, "political correctness", a product of European Socialism, is used to prevent people from speaking their minds. However, it is the first ammendment in our constitution that guarantees it. People don't get thrown in the gulag for speaking their minds. In fact, some people speak their minds too much as if they have a right to be heard not a right to speak.

I agree, but the same points could be made about any country in the world. People are people. Contrary to what some people would have you believe, the US does not have a monopoly on stupidity. That's the main irritation to me, the US and its residents are held to absurd double standards. Also, the country is certainly the most media-scrutinized in the world as well: millions of reports swarm to the smallest example of Americans doing something weird, people scour the streets looking for examples of stoopid Yanks. I wonder how well Japan would stand up under such scrutiny? France? The UK?World view of America unfortunately has a number of valid points. To me though there is the educated, open-minded, responsible America, and then there is the America that watches "American Gladiators" and is the sort of America that's clueless as to what "elitist" really means, those who are envious and angry because of someone else's success, those who don't pay attention to shades of gray which are ever so present in our lives.
People outside USA perceive the American people as a bunch who has all the potential to achieve anything they want.
Imagine having a talented and rich friend who you grow up with, he has everything going for him, yet he spends his time overeating, and arranging annoying pranks which get other people hurt, then he steals everything from your fridge and torches your house.
I truly and honestly hate america,
Let me know when you have a Jewish Chancellor.

Love that one!Let me know when you have a Jewish Chancellor.
Hey, who says they don't know how to have fun! :lol:Love that one!
But the only one that might have had chance was caught having a big party with loads of cocaine and prostitutes. Will take a few years to forget...
Fortunately, we have a law which prevents that. Much to Ah-nold's disappointment.By the way: Beware of Austrian immigrants as Presidents. Our Grandfathers tried it and it was rubbish.

"Moderation in all things." - AristotleThat one always confused me a little bit. A country originating from immigrants doesn't want anyone not born in the US as it's leader?
Didn't see the movie, but yes, laws can be changed. Frankly, we've got enough politicians as it is, we don't need anybody else's. Which may be the reason the law was written: It was our way of saying "No thanks, we're full!" :lol:But, laws can be changed. Do you remember "demolition man" when they pass the "Arnold Schwarzenegger Library"?
