Hey Qui.....I spent 3 months in the States last year, and I found most folks really friendly once they heard an English accent!
Didnt like the healthcare system though......no matter how bad people say it is, the NHS is the greastest thing ever.
Where are all the nice girls? |

I don't have anything against people or life here.
But compared to what this country has a capacity to be, to it's potential, it's crap. Basically.
That's what I meant.

I agree with you Qui.. The US has the potential to be far more than it is. We've become a nation of greedy, insincere and ill-informed people. We place too much trust, and faith, in our elected officials who just sell us all down the river.. I doubt many will disagree with me on this, so instead of us all complaining about the wrongs, how about we come up with solutions instead..? We have the power, but do we have the will to really bring about change..? Call me crazy, but until people start 'doing' nothing is gonna change.. IMHO.
Well I think one starting point is changing how people become cantidates to be elected and making it harder for big buisnesses to get congresses ear. They should screen who can be lobbiests by how they are payed.

WHAT?!?! When? Why? Where does it say this? Now, currently? I don't believe it.
You know what ticks me off. After digging a while back I found out that the info that Bush and his cronies fed congress was 10 year old information about plants we blew up like way back when. I think during desert storm. For real they dug up old documents and convinced congress old info was current is basically what they did. It was an outright lie. That is how everyone was tricked. It's outragious. I think I got this from an interview I watched with one of the actual weapons inspectors who's job it was to know what was going on. Cause they are the ones who would really know what is going on. Why we weren't listening to them, I dunno.
So in a manner of speaking what they said was true. Iraq did have possible WMD's and "was" trying to make them. About a decade ago... LOL. Whoops, they left that part out.
