What's wrong with him/her (the pic makes me think she's a girl) not liking where he lives and wanting to move out? What's wrong with you people?

Just saying "I hate America, the rest of the world is better, I'm leaving." is annoying. If the TC justified his/her reasoning and said where they planned on moving, I would respect thier opinion a bit more.

I honestly don't get why you "americans" (america happens to be a continent, not a country) are so damn nationalist, I mean, even if she didn't justify her reasoning, why let it get to you like that?

But I'm probably gonna get flamed to death for saying that so it doesn't really matter anymore...

I understand the Americas are a continent and that the name "Americans" usually applies to only those of US residence but there is a reason.

I don't think the Canadians or Mexicans would take is kindly to being called Americans. To them it might seem really rude. Many people enjoy their nationality and while the name Americans may not make much sense as a name logically, its a much better name then "United Statians"

Also TC, America is a beautiful country with mostly nice people, go on a road trip and visit the Grand Canyon, or the Redwoods or check out Luisiana for some good cooking. Just avoid Las Vegas and you'd be all set. Every country is awesome in its own way... well the ones who are not warzones... but if the reason you want to leave is because of being disgruntled with the governemnt then never fear, we got a great voting system to recycle our politicians. Too bad that recycle system is slow as hell...

Anyway, heck you should go on some world tour, enjoy the world for what it offers and maybe when you get back you won't be so disgruntled with your own country.

I feel opptimistic today. :D

I can't say I've gone on a world tour, but every place I've been outside the US (about 10 countries) have all been better. I'm not taking anything for granted, I am simply leaving behind a country that is fundamentally flawed in many ways. I know their are some countries I'd be worse off in, but I have no intention of moving to those places, obviously.

I'd rather not leave America, sure it has problems but the real kicker is trying to fix those problems. People usually leave countries out for safety or family. If you leave a totalian regime that will kill ya I can understand but if you are just disgruntled with a country for a few kinks then you need to re-evaluate your standing.

Instead you should go for the "How can I fix it?" approach. You can take a part in making this country better, go work at a soup kitchen, take a standing position in your community to help people. Actively try to make it a better place. Lead by example. Heck if you are interested in politics become one youreself and actually go for the throat in making it a better country.

Don't become an Expatriote because you are tired of some issues, write your congressman, participate in a protes, do something.

This may sound like a childish cartoon on "how to help" but in reality not many people take part in these activities. I am sure that if people actually did, there would be a much better America. Hell one of the clubs in my school has a motto of "Be the change you wish to see in the world."

I know it sounds gimmicky and childish and a lot of work but it is something that makes something of your life. It is a purpose.

Ok.. well I am all done with being humanitarian for the day...

I wish it were that simple, but it is hard when your government is run by banks, oil, and the military. You can vote who ever you want into office, they will simply become a pawn of these money juggernauts. Why do you think we don't have affordable healthcare for everyone, why do you think we Really went to Iraq, why do you think emission standards have stayed the same for so long? It is because of these thieves that have stolen our government from us. I have tried to do many of these things you speak of, in fact my profession deals with a lot of them, but I alone will never change it all. I am simply a person in a country of only a few others that know and do as I do. We are a very small minority, and frankly I am not going to waste my time on something that is so broken. I would rather move to a country that has a functional system of government and democracy; something the US has been lacking for almost a century. I wish it were different, but I am a realist, not a blind optimist.

meh, I don't really do any of those things I mentioned.

But I still do not believe the US is hopeless or broken. I'd say, misguided. Also certainly not worth saving.

Dude, you ARE my favorite poster on these forums.

Good Job!8)

:lol: nice storymarkop2003

Thank you. I was bored last night, it was 2am and I wasn't planning on sleeping any time soon so I just started writing. :P

I wrote this just for your guys! :D

And it can mean whatever you want it to mean.:shock:

I just want to see how many minutes of others lives I can waste.

And Ladies and Gentlemen, I have embarked upon a great crusade which I have not striven for these many months.

I just thought of the idea.

Just how do humans react to color and spontaneous dancing?

So to find this all important question, I went to a custom tailor to purchase a pink suit. The cream of the crop being the 1940's style hat. The hat was hard to find, I hat to go to a constume store and then spray paint it pink, the suit came easier but for a $500 price tag. Next I told my best friend. He say I was being stupid and should start flipping burgers again. >:(

Made was my plan and I was going to achieve it. I took the city bus to the Mall. Then I went to the center courtyard. I took out my clipboard which had a detailed list of possible responces to be filled out upon asking people to do simple tasks for me while wearing my pinkish on somble. The mall started filling up, the noon rush started pooring in.

This was my chance. I pulled out my stero and started blasting "You Can Dance If You Want To" from there I flung my coat to the ground and started dancing. Soon a crowd gathered around me. Some people started throwing money at me for my performance. I guawked at this insult. I angerly stopped the music and scolded them saying this is "hard science."

Whole hearted was their responce of sorry. I then address the crowd. "Listen my bretheran! Today we made a great leap in the name of science!" They looked at me awkwardly beleving me to be a conspiracy nut. I continued, "who dares listen to my instructions and be part of an important study." Several members of the crowd, children, stepped forward. "You look funny mister, we can help you." They were sincere and their ambition to help science influenced almost 50% of the crowd to step forward."

Story of my Life I say, the greatest thing I ever achieved.

Up above me on the 2nd floor people gathered as well to watch. I gave one instruction, "dance."I then pressed the play on my stereo and the 1st song was "Never Gonna Give You Up" Several snickers from the 20 somthings in the audience arose. My soundtract mostly comprised of popular single hits. Several members recounted their pledge of aiding me, about 10, one even called the cops on me. The Police just asked me if I was sane and I siad "yes" they just laughed and watched. From there the dancing continued. About 30 people now dance with me while at least 100 watch. It was bliss, I cannot beleive my success, I wondered what would other colored cloths would provoke a similar responce. We danced till about 2 PM. the mall manager fumbled through the crowd to tell me to leave or be removed by the police. I had to comply. That fat bald primate couldn't understand great science. So while my dreams were broken and I was banned from the mall, a small child came up to me and asked how to be great like me. I said in a wisper to him, just like I am about to tell you: "Read the first word of every paragraph."

NOTHING

can compare in crappyness to this song.

NOTHING IS WORSE. Period.

It stains a really good song and meme.... it is horrid...

even though that song about video games stinks... like last week garbage.

Does that count? Since it really doesn't mean anything, it's just for fun, and the reaction of other people.

The thing is, my BF saw me do it at this party on Saturday and he got really upset. Not immediately, but he started acting wierd right afterwards, as if he had something on his mind. When he was driving me back home, he started to say something about the other girl, like, if we did that often, etc. I told him, "no, of course not"... and all he said back was "oh, ok".

I haven't talked to him since last night, but don't know where to even begin. I figured I would ask you guys what you think, in case my reasoning behind kissing a girl is just... not what normal people think.

Smells like copypoasta, or at least reminds me of one.
