Hi everybody, I am a new member to this site. I think it is great. Anyways just wanted to express my feelings toward the country I live in, the USA. I am ashamed to have to live in this country everyday. It is in my opinion the us is one of the most evil countries in the world. The foreign policies taken after WWII have been facist. Every war after that one has been controlled my money or oil, and it makes me sick. Everyone in the world is so controlled by us, whether it is McDonalds, Coke, or Citibank we have a flag up in every country , its called the dollar. Some day when I get older and save up, im moving to the land of freedom and opportunity, CANADA. I am so thankful Candada is near, I love that country. Hopefully someday the US can do things like Canada......which means simply becoming more intelligent , instead of electing and ape for president.

The U.S. is certainly not an evil country, its one of the better countries out there; some of the best people in the world live there. The only problem is, some of the 'evil' people there have more power than they should. I love the U.S. You should be proud to live there.

Loyalty to the country always, loyalty to the government when it deserves it.
$1:
It seems that in America it’s unpatriotic to ask, “Was this war necessary?” Today, a highly organized right-wing juggernaut is quick to attack anyone who protests Washington’s war plans, calling these truth-seekers un-American and traitorous.
Many of us have chosen to shut up and look the other way out of dread of being accused of not supporting our country and our troops. Anyone expressing the slightest dissent is warned: “It's our way or the highway. If you don't like where the country’s going, then move to Germany or France.”
Doubting Americans seem too cowed to sound off and question these self-proclaimed patriots – the majority of whom dodged combat service during past conflicts as diligently as most of us are avoiding Hong Kong and Toronto today.
In spite of their residence in a very hot place, demagogue Joe McCarthy and the rabid members of his Committee on Un-American Activities – which did such appalling damage to our country’s integrity in the 1950s – must be gloating over the Hawks Club following in their footsteps, wrapped as they were in the American flag.
Sadly, too many of us seem to have bought into the same sort of fear and base propaganda as the good people of Germany when Hitler was promoting his Sieg Heils in the mid-1930s: My country, right or wrong, my country.
Beginning with much of the media, we seem to have forgotten Mark Twain's sage comment: “Loyalty to the country always, loyalty to the government when it deserves it.”
Bet your boots that more than 200,000 American troops now stuck in the Middle Eastern deserts – many living in primitive conditions that we don’t tolerate for farm animals, dodging bullets that cut into American flesh almost daily – surely would appreciate more Americans standing tall and asking the billion-dollar question: Was the Iraq War critical to our country’s national interest, and is the occupation worth the bloody price our grunts continue to pay?
We need to remember that dissent is what America is all about. Wise men long ago guaranteed our freedom to attack city hall by the magic documents that a bunch of dedicated people have fought McCarthy-type gangs time and again over the years to keep alive: the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Ok why would I want to go to Cuba anyway. Mexico is better. And i can travel to Cuba if i wanted. US citizens can travel there once every three years. But like I said before who wants to go their Except a bunch of cheap low budget Europeans and Canadians.

American Fredom-noun-In America, you have freedom. You are so free that if I fell like it I can search through all of your confidential information without you knowing it. And if your lucky, you can be so free that I will lock you up without a trial and won't even give you the basic rights that even a prisoner of war recieves.
American freedom, drink it in, it always goes down smooth.

Never been to Cuba have you? There ya go, talking about something you don't know about again. I've been to both Mexico and Cuba and I can tell ya, Cuba is a way better place to holiday. It's cleaner, hotels are at least as nice if not better than in Mexico and the people are just awesome. I've never worried about travelling anywhere in Cuba, you can't say that about Mexico.
