Sorry, I didn't mean to offend. I definitely don't think that the individual citizens of America are in any way inferior to those of any other country, nor do I think that collectively Americans are to blame for their current predicament. While I don't really understand your point about showing gratitude. 1. Many of the major medical breakthroughs in recent history have nothing to do with "America", sure some of them might have happened there but that's hardly their defining factor. 2. Where in my comment did I imply that it was not disgraceful that American people where not enjoying the drugs we have in the modern world? In terms of the whole homosexuality thing, no shit. It's also a problem that we are absolutely ruining the lives of the aboriginal population by throwing up barriers to progression and education at every turn and just treating them like second class citizens at best. Even worse that the way we treat our native citizens is how we treat refugees who we send to an unregulated island so we can beat the shit out of them and rape their children. But just because there are parts of Australia that make me worry for this cesspit of inhumane bullshit, doesn't mean I can't also find it appalling that as a nation it seems impossible that america can't stop killing it's own citizens. Lethal weapons are sold at the local shopping centre, you can't get medical care even if you need it and God help you if your not white, you basically just need to factor "will get shot by police at some point" into your life plan. Just because two countries are fucked up doesn't mean that you can't notice the stuff about another country and makes it fucked up alongside your own.
