I dont think I should have to to though. I know enough about the place I live to know whether I should hate it or not..right? But if I say that, it's just dispalying ignorance because I haven't tried other countries. In a way its like saying "I hate Superman 64" When you've only played that game your whole life...sure, it might be the worst game in the world in some others opinions but, you haven't had the chance to play "Super Mario 64" Now have you?

I'm rambling, sorry. >.<

Pretty much, yeah.

You don't know anything BUT America, so don't appreciate the things that you don't know you take for granted by living here. I am talking about things like walking on grass, hearing birds chirp, having a Coke whenever you want one, having electricity and running water 24/7....

Now I'm just messing around. I completely agree with you.

1.I am not an animal, I dont care about green on the ground.
2.Birds annoy me in the middle of the day when I'm trying to sleep at 5pm
3.....Coke is well. Alright coke is good stuff.
4.Electricity runs everything..without it the world would basically cease to exist right now >.<
5....Who needs water? I can bathe in my own filth!

I don't hate America I just dislike the way it is going. The politicians don't listen to people anymore even though we vote for certain things,they are looking out for their own needs first. Also we are too busy butting into other peoples problems and taking care of them financially. We need to concentrate on America and take care of Americans first. Also, America needs to get tougher on illegal immigrants. If you want to come to America and work illegally they should put you on a chain gang for a year and let you work here and then deport you.

If life in North Korea is so horrible, why are so many so in love with their leader and government?

Because they don't know any better...my point made again, only in reverse. Extreme patriots often have never spent much or any time outside of their country.

I don't hate my country...it's the only one I've ever lived in, so it's all I know. I'm not proud of some of the things my country has done, but that's probably normal for any country. I don't see how anyone could hate one's own country, unless it's just really really terrible and negative.
