Default People who don't trus the Govt.

We were talking about the Vietnam war today ins chool and the teacher asked the class and did a poll to see who trusted our Govt. 19 voted yes(i was one of them) and 23 voted no. Now there is this one girl in my class that always thinks she is right about political views but always seems to talk bad about the country. finally today someone said if you don't like this country so much and can't even trust it why do you live here? your against the war don;t trust the govt. to top it off she was one of the people that put a flag in front of her house after 9/11. yet she always talks bad about the country everyday. don't like our govt think it sucks fine go to another country that you think has a better govt than us. sorry just venting kinda in a bad mood right now h:

I agree with the fact that people have the freedom of speech, and that we have a democratic goverment. However, I'm a firm believe in the fact that if you hate this country and think it's so bad here, get the f*ck out and go live somewhere else.

:werd: It's not perfect anywhere, some places are better than one another. However, here you'll find many more opportunities, it's not just from a political point of view, so one MAY NOT trust the govt, but that doesn't mean the gov't is corrupted. The gov't is not the only thing that make this country so great, there's many other aspects. If she's pissing everything about the country, then you can tell her to get the **** out because there's nothing for her here anyway, but if she's just disagree about the govt, then it doesn't mean that she hates everything about the country.

Go drink a glass of cold water and clam ya self down man.

me, personally, i'm not happy about a lot of the things our country does. i'd move to canada, but its to cold. occasionally i bitch, but i really shouldn't b/c i live here. just as long as no one bombs me, i'm cool.


i really hate it when these religious nuts get mad when athiests don't want the ten commandments (obviously) in courtrooms, or when i really don't want to say "under god" in the pledge of allegiance. just b/c this country is largely christian doesn't mean the whole friggin society is. and then the f*ckers tell me to move. what happened to freedom of religion? :madfawk:
