What I find interesting, is that so many people who are big on dumping on the United States, number one don't even live here, and number two, don't do a damn thing about it except bitch about it.
If you don't like things going on here, if you are a citizen, you are given the right to vote, and change laws. You are certainly welcome to protest, and make your thoughts known. But so few actually take the time to actively pursue their beliefs. They just complain.
For those that don't live here, you know what? Yes, it isn't perfect here, but neither is it where you live. Most of us have great qualities where we live, including the United States. Most of you are bitching about the US but still, you do nothing but complain.
Others, still, just join the bandwagon, and think it is popular to blast the United States, and our president.
I was in Vegas a few months ago, and visited a wax museum at the Venitian. At the end of the tour, is a wax figure of President Bush. A lady from Mexico goes up and wants a picture taken. Someone offers, and right before they take the picture, she turns and flips him off for the picture while standing next to him. Full of laughs and giggles, she looked around for support. She didn't have a clue. She thought what she did was the latest "cool" attitude. I wanted to slap her upside her head. Hey, have your political thoughts and agenda's, but it doesn't mean you should be disrespectful.
For those from other countries who wish to bash the United States just for something to do, or to think you are being hip and cool, go ahead. Waste your time. You really apear quite foolish. If you really think injustice is being done, then do something productive about it.
Otherwise, just enjoy the life and freedoms that you do have, and respect the fact that other countries do to, and go make the most that you can of your life, enjoy your friends and family. Life is too short to do anything but that.
