i'm not sure why you're trying to make this political. what i said had nothing to do with politics. i dont think anyone wants this thread to delvolve into political discussion

i'm not sure why you turned what i said about people into some discussion about the US foreign policies.
i said people from the US are ignorantly overconfident and you're talking about the US being the world police?!?! there are plenty of things that we're ignornatly overconfident with that have nothing to do with politics. go ask anyone how good of a driver they are. an unusually large amount of people think they're excellent drivers based on some random metric they cite but in reality most people are **** drivers
i talk about an unwillingness to comprimise or reasses situations and you're talking about the conquering contries?!? wtf? you're taking this to way to big of a scale. look at all the people who believe "the customer is always right". there are many people that will die on this hill even if they are shown proof they are wrong.
i mention how and what he spends his money and you're talking about being the world police again?!?! you're really thinking about this at too grand of a scale. we had a whole ****ing recession in 2006/07/08 because people bought houses massively out of their price range. Keeping up with the Jones' is a legit thing that happens. we are a very materialistic county. i don't think this is a controversial statement
none of these things are uniquely american, but we do a great job at doing them.

(I should stop with these Ambien induced posts)
what a ****ing piss poor response and i agree you should not post while on Ambien.
A) i never said anything about the country, i said a statement about the people. there are 300+ million people in this country. a solid % displaying some combination of 1-4 in my list doesn't mean there are no good people here. additionally, even if someone displayed some of the qualities on the list, it doesn't necessary make them a bad person.
B) no country is perfect andi have no issue dealing with situations as they arise in my daily life.
C) even if i wanted to leave, i have a spouse and children, and to a lesser importance (though still important), parents/in-laws/siblings/friends that we enjoy seeing. moving is not a unilateral decision i can make in my life because i value the opinions of my spouse and kids
D) its a big ****ing country, land mass wise. it's not hard to find a place that's acceptable to most viewpoints
