America has really went downhill fast, hasn't it? When I first came to this
country 11 years ago, it had potential. Now that war monger in DC has ruined everything, hasn't he? Yes, without a doubt. And don't you just get sick of hearing these liars say there is no racial profiling at airports? I know I do. I can only imagine how bad someone who was born here feels about this country becoming so disgraceful. I know how it makes me feel. I guess it makes you ashamed to be an American, doesn't it? I just want to make it clear that I don't look down on Americans. It's not your fault this country is reviled worldwide. But if you want to change things for the better, you will be more careful about who you vote for in the future. Is it possible America can be saved? I guess no one really knows the answer, do they? Only time will tell. But it isn't looking very good right now, is it? |

People vote in accordance with their personal value systems. GWB might just really reflect the values of the majority of voters. If that's the case, then the problem isn't with the President *or* with the voters. The problem is with democracy. Oh, for a Philosopher-King!

No one is making you stay here, feel free to leave any time. Why did you feel the need to post this crap on this board. |

I thought it was a representative republic. If they've changed it, maybe that was the catalyst for the downturn. |

If you are not concerned for the future, perhaps it is you who should leave, not I. |

If you are so concerned about what a mess this country is in why don't you do something to help instead of pointing out what is wrong? Why would you want to live here if you see so much that is wrong? You still did not answer my question as to why you posted this drivel on a cooking board. But trolls are like that, aren't they? Bye, Muumuuhead |

I'm guessing about the tenth grade in high school? Or am I being a bit generous? Actually he is expressing what many ex-pat Americans are also saying (and many of those that I hear saying it are retired US military who are chosing to live outside the US). The view and the commentary of Americans and vistors to the US taken from the outside is quite a bit different than the view and commentary from within. Me...I'm ambivalent. There are many things I feel that have gone downhill rapidly and many that have no significant change or even slight improvement. I made one trip back to the US in three years. I'll proabably make another trip back in about 18 months for my passport renewal since dealing with the US Embassy is a PITA. It is better known buy local ex-pats as the Department of US Citizen Harassment. There's a reason there are Lexan (bullet-proof/shatterproof) windows in front of the clerks. Customer frustation peaks quickly and often. SD SD |

Don't those people care about the future of their children? Are they merely ignorant or willfully negligent? I prefer to think the voters were ignorant. They listened to the patriotic posturing about being good Americans and not questioning what their elected leader & his henchmen did in Washington and ignored all the warning signs of the first 4 years. Thank goodness for term limits! What this bunch of yahoos has done to the country is absolutely criminal and I hope every one of them rots in jail. -- Practice safe eating. Always use condiments. |
