Am I a citizen of the US?
No.
I'm just 'visiting'
I fucking love this place k0na - don't get me wrong. There is so much to love about this country. It's just the government and people's prevailing attitudes to the rest of the world that fuck me right off and leave a sour taste in my mouth.
Americans are so right on about the first amendment, but then some lady with a tshirt that had Rice, Cheney and Bush with 'Meet the Fockers' underneath it was refused entry to an airplane.
It's a land of contradiction after contradiction.
But that doesn't mean that, on the whole, I think it's a wonderful country with a lot to offer....because it is and it does.
It's jsut a little spoilt at the moment....

imo. the sheer size of the country itself is the problem, it's not condensed enough.
in some cases it's too liberal and in others it's not liberal enough.
it's hard to call
but a clear lack of communication and the inundation of agenda-based media (both sides) might also have something to do with it

Europeans need passports because there are far more borders and languages in our small part of the world, Americans mainly holiday in their own country because it is immensly rad and there is a huge amount to do there this accounts for most of why few of the Americanos have passports.
I find any hate America threads tiresome and rarely venture a good honest opinion as it's the internet, but on this occasion I must say shut the fuck up and leave them alone for fucks sake. Tosses K0na a beer whats up homie.
