Not to mention"ghettos" "bad parts" and all that shit with gangsand muders NEVER happens here. Also we dont have the death penelty to innocent people who are conviceted are not killed. And yeha, global warming is a natural procces of teh Earth LOL. yup, pounding 1000 tonnes of Co2 into the atmosphere is Natural. And its good for our environment when the ice caps melt, kill off species, destroy the food chain, and end all life on earth. Perfectly natural.
Did I mention if you walk around in foren countires with an american flag, you get egged. where as if you had a canadian flag, people are nice to you and give you stuff.
Oh and i didnt make that Tick-tack page.
An American did, which shows how supported your government is. Plus what many people dont know is the USA is in depte by trillions of dollers, and if they took all the money they spent of promoting mass destruction and ending all life on earth, they could solve world hunger.

7% tax? That would be nice. Unfortunately, Democraps like higher taxes than Republicans. Plus, Canada doesn't have the amount of "stuff" to spend it on. Don't need a big army b/c Uncle Sam downstairs will protect ya.
So one of your major impressions of the US is of gangs and murderers? Can't say I'm overly worried about that. Perhaps in LA, Chicago, NYC, and some larger cities. But, believe it or not, there's life outside living in urban places. Gotta love suburbia.
Sure, people are improperly killed by the death penalty. But an even greater number are justly punished for murdering other human beings (call it "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth")
And the global temperature does, in fact, run in cycles. Ever heard of an Ice Age? How 'bout the time before that when it was nice and toasty for a few thousand years, around the times dinosaurs roamed the earth? Then after the Ice Age, it got warmer again.
And I'll assume that "depte" is, in fact, "debt". But, really, what does the debt mean? We're in debt for a small portion of that sum to foreign (not "foren") nations, who also happen to owe us some money. The rest of the sum, we owe to ourselves. So what's the point in repaying that? Despite this seemingly atrocious figure, the United States' economy seems to be doing quite well (and, as we speak, is improving). The American dollar (or is it "doller"?) is far more stable than Canada's, a country with a significantly lesser debt.
I can't say I've been egged while walking around foreign (there's that dang-ol' word again!) countries. Granted, the extent of my travel has taken me to Mexico and Canada (incl. Horseshoe Falls, which is visited by a wide variety of races and ethnicities). And you drive around w/ American license plates. But I've never been taunted, sneered at, etc. If I may ask, to what foreign nations have you traveled?
I can guarantee you that, if the United States were to reduce its role in global politics, at first, all foreign nations would be thrilled. But then what after a few years of having no one to really lead the direction of the developed nations? Eh? This world would go to shit without an active, non-isolationist superpower.
And you really think that one measly website accurately represents how all Americans feel about our government? There are those that don't like it; there are those that love it. I've heard, quite often, if you don't like living here, move to Canada. From what you've told me, it would seem to make an excellent 2nd choice to the US.
