You live in the US, but refer to "their" society as if you're not a part of it. So if "their" society is in ruins, why do you choose to continue living there? Surely you can head off to any number of countries that would suit you much better, and allow you to be a part of their society.
- spacedcowboy 4y agoAh, the old "if you don't like it, leave" advice. Well, in life, you might come across some situations where running away isn't really an option. I've got an (American) wife who likes it here, and a kid whose schooling I don't want to interrupt. Yes. If it were just me, I'd leave. I've made enough millions that I could live quite happily back in my home country, but, you know... Life. Not just your own opinion counts...
- jaywalk 4y agoSo then maybe "society is in ruins because people are allowed to own things I don't think they should be allowed to own" is a bit hyperbolic, yes?
- spacedcowboy 4y agoshrug you have your opinion, am I not entitled to my own ? And since when did not liking something mean you weren't entitled to criticise it ? American society is screwed up, IMHO. A large part of that is due to the policy of fear used by authorities, due to guns, and another large part is due to the wide "independent" streak within the society - I put it in quotes because it's really just selfishness, and guns are the poster-child for that attitude. shrug Nothing I say can matter, I can't even vote, but it doesn't mean I don't have eyes to see.
