There is something wrong with the human race in general... the only thing we have been consistently good at for more than five millenia is killing each other...

We have to kill each other. In the wild, there is an ecosystem. Different species kill other species to keep the numbers down. But in an urbanized man made world like we live in there is no ecosystem to off us from becoming too many. So nature has made so that we kill each other and catch many diseases. It is just the circle of life.

It's not flame bait, I love the U.S. and I agree every country has it's problems. I'm just curious of other people's perspective of the U.S....by the way, I don't work for the government.

Then what about epidemics like AIDS? Given the chance, that will take our numbers down right quick...
It is ******* to go to a good college as the government doesn't do much of anything to help people like me pay for it.... I worked my ass off to obtain a 3.5 GPA (Which has bumped up to a 3.7) only to get no sort of support whatsoever in paying for college. I got accepted to everywhere I applied to, but got no money to go anywhere.....

There are many things wrong with the US... but they also have a lot of good things. I think they should take a closer look to Scandinavia and learn something from them :)

Plus, I am not totally sure how this works but my parents said a loan wouldn't work as they will be needing to get a loan out as they are gonna have to buy a house....

Student Loans are low interest lows to cover the cost of school. I don't think they would be impacted by your parents loan since they don't get paid back until you finish school and you are the one to pay it back. Short of getting a scholarship that is your best option....unless you want to join the military.

What makes me mad is they judge my eligibility of grants based on my parents income, even though they aren't paying for any of my college stuff.... I have been told that even if I move out it will be the same deal....

They judge it based on ability to pay. They know your parents are capable of helping pay for your college. Even if they arent, they can't know that you wont get your grant and then your parents will go and pay your way through college.
Generally they want to make sure that grant's go to the people who really need the money (I get plenty of grant's, my parents are lower class so..)
Many being social stigmas and drug policies. Gay should be allowed to marry, evolution vs Creation shouldn't even be a debate, Drinking age should be lower along with Pot legalization, and our administration should learn how to balance a check book let alone budget.Â
But it's still a damn good country and I wouldn't want to live any other place. :D

those are your opinions, and to tell you more deaths and problems in the US would be caused by everything you just said

So letting gays marry would cause deaths?
Budgetting a country properly would cause deaths?
i said deaths and Problems. and yes maybe deaths would occur
[QUOTE="yoshi-lnex"]It's too far right on social and economic issues....UrbanSpartan125
whats the problem with that? its not a problem for us its a problem for you in your personal opinion I guess problems like an expanding national debt, dubious wars, and a decreasing quality of jobs are good things in the minds of right wingers, let's not forget how the right constantly ignores the threat of global warming, ignores the fact that there is a direct relationship between economic well being and education (yet fails to help people pay for college), and constantly is looking for areas to cut money from in scientific and medical research, one area in paticular would be stem cell research, which promises to be basiclally a "cure all".

People like Donkey are the type of people who make the world that much worse, with there ignorant, opionated politics (although I am guessing you were joking?) . The U.S. sure does have it's problems, but nowhere near some other countries in the world. The U.S. is the place to be.

I disagree whole heartidly.Â
Look at the netherlands with pot legalization. Use has actually dropped.Â
Look at Europe with a lower drinking age, the world hasn't collapsed in on them. Personally, I think it's quite backward seeing as an 18 year old can legally buy a GUN but not a beer in the US.
Gay Marriage? Self explanatory, it doesn't effect anybody but the persons getting married. Nothinig but religious dogma and bigotry has kept it back.Â

So I'm making the world a worse place by advocating equal rights in places where it's not, along with wanting a competant government that can be fiscally responsible?
There are better countries in terms of living standards, and a few countries that I wouldn't mind relocating to(France, U.K., Japan, Finland, Germany, Canada etc.) but no country is perfect. I think the biggest problem in the U.S. is education, as the U.S. is the richest country in the world our standards should be higher.

Depends on what kind of education. Public education should be much more funded, but it does vary state to state on taxes.
However the US' post secondary educational opportunities are second to none.Â
