This country is so money driven, any company on any given day would gladly destroy an acre of rain forest for an extra 100 dollars a week.
They'd gladly have me die if it meant that their CEO would be able to get a new private jet at the end of the year.

I used to use the old slogan "I love my country, but fear my government." But then I realized I don't much care for the dumbass rednecks that comprise most of this country either. I guess the two things I like about this country are its natural beauty(which is slowly but surely fading) and the spirit in which our system of government was founded(but certainly not the monster that it's become).

I await the revolution.
It will never happen, this country has bred and taught itself into retardation. Its built to allow the stupid and lazy to succeed.
I think I may make a permanent move to the south Pacific, Africa, or northern Europe sometime in my near future.

Agreed. Im a very outdoor and nature intuned person, everytime i go out and see all this development and this destroying of the natural habitats. Soon or later everything is going to turn into concrete,walmarts,cookie cutter neighborhoods, and golf fields.

Uhhh.... I thought most European countries have extremely strict immigration laws when compared to USA's so wouldn't it be extremely hard to live in those countries or at least become their citizen.

I dont really want to move, I have just, thought about it. Probably so, plus I would have no ideal, how to get a good job, other than the good old USA.

I love my country. That is why I am willing to dish out money for a college education to be able to get into the system and attempt to change it.

I do love this country, no matter how infuriated I get with how dicked up this supposed "representative democracy" we live in deteriorates. I look at the executive, legislative, and judicial branches and wonder if they even represent America........
But I still have faith that each day an American is born with new thoughts.....new ideas......to keep things moving forward for the motherland

Great post!
I am from Canada, but I see the problems our friends to the south are encountering. You have alienated yourselves from a large part of the world, I have memories of a clueless G.W. pulling on the Chinese presidents suit. Your irrational position in the middle east. I could go on.
Those rednecks you speak of are the back-bone of your country IMO. Its the mindless yuppies and politicians that are destroying your way of life.
I agree, America was founded on a great concept of ideals almost all around(current slavery legislation(1776) was deplorable, though they did abolish it, while it still goes on today.) There were other problems with your original plan of course, but they were fairly small. So America was a pretty good country in my books, you have just been hi-jacked by the elite. Which the same could be said for most, if not all western countries.
We live in interesting times, the world is due for an unprecedented change.

Have fun trying to pursue that... goal, reversing the stupidity of the American public that is. I personally would rather dish out my money for college, make my money, then leave.

Exactly true. These rednecks do not want change, have close-minded views, and quite frankly... are about as smart as my computer.
Some other countries ? Well currently I don't have a definite answer on that, but there are many other countries that I hope to eventually visit and possibly re-locate to. NZ ? Mexico ?!
Someone else mentioned this as well, the fact that you can't just go move to another country, why the hell would some other thriving country want a typical stupid fuck American coming to their country ? Many Americans have the misconseption that you can just pick up and move to any country they want. You actually have to apply for residency in other countries, similar concept as to getting a green card in the states. If you don't have anything to offer, don't get your hopes up.
This is why an education is important, a country will most likely welcome a well-educated human being that can provide a contribution to society.

Unfortuantely... yes, but more like: That's the reality.
More power to you if you want to help change this country, it desperately needs it, but I am just stating the fact of reality.
