    Or maybe she is just full of sh^t. Alot of people learn early on to cry descrimination in America even when there is none. Like that girl from the interview what was the big tragedy that befell her. She thought people stared at here when she went to the mall. No one said anything to her no one stoped her from doing anything she just felt this general sense of oppression.

    Anyway Simon who said anything about kicking anyone out. I said if people hate it here and they hate the system why stay.

    Once again to recap:

    1. She had no specific act of racism just a general 'white people freak me out vibe'
    2. She felt things were better in Eygpt
    3. No one is forcing her out
    4. I would like to know why she chooses to stay someplace she hates

    What a ridiculous website. I love North America. I love living in North America (except Canada...too cold up there.) I love the economy that has developed in the country I live in. I love the fact that I am free to publicly disagree with those in power and push for change. Lots of people love that. And when those in power start to erode those freedoms, it makes people publicly disagree LOUDER. Which in turn, makes those towing the party line complain about them complaining and say things like, "just leave." I don't want to leave! I love it here! I just can't stand George Bush! Why don't you leave and take George with you! This rant was of course directed at those who created that website and any likeminded people.

    Amac,

    I dont think you should leave. If you love the democratic process then stay. This does not say that things couldnt be made better with issues like voter reform, and contribution reform. But I would like to know why the poeple that hate this country, feel a dictator in Eygpt is a better system stay here. If people really believe that way or think everything about American is racist, and vile why dont they go somewhere they like better?

    What a ridiculous website! This person should become a JW and then he can disfellowship anybody who doesn't think like he does.

    I'm confused can you go to more than one country, do I have to say I hate the country or can I infer it so I can say visit Prisca in Australia and then change me mind...... could I do this once yearly hmmmmm Also I'm confused why Simon and Hamas would mind seems the don't like the US a whole lot and seems they would be the biggest contibuters to the cause to free poor souls from the clutches of the 'evil empire."

    You know I found this on Marine Moms Online it was done tongue in cheek funny can no one here take a joke anymore <geesh>

    Shelia,

    I am very supportive of our troops, but not necessarily of the leaders of "our nation." It appalls me that one or two more (of our troops) die each day. I question why and if it is worth the price.

    Maybe you saw this website as a joke or satire. I did not. It seemed that this person really believes this way. I just think this whole thing is in poor taste, but I don't have the context that you had when you first saw it. Could it be this is just a misunderstanding because we are seeing it from different perspectives?

    Free speech in the form of opposition to government policies is at the core of why the US even exists. If Thomas Jefferson were alive today and were to view that site I think he would be disgusted and horrified.

    PS -- I still think this country is in the top three on the planet. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else, although we can always make things better.

    It didn't appear to be advocating "kicking" anyone out. It was an making an opportunity for those that want to leave to go....bit of a difference IMHO.
