Another dumb f...arse. A perfect example of why Americans are
considered the most arrogant people on Earth. And this "idjut" can't
even spell - another example of why the good ol' USA is considered a
first world nation with a third world education system.

A suggestion - go to night school to learn how to spell. You might
even learn some other valuable information such as there are other
countries in the World, many of which have better economies, actually
look after their poor & underprivileged, have health systems which
are accessible by all - not just the rich, and consider other nations
as places to explore & learn much about. Instead of looking out the
window in fear of what may be out there, venture out there &
experience what it really is.

No matter how often Americans try to convince themselves, it is no
longer an egalitarian country where everyone is equal. It has become
a country where freedom of speech is no longer freedom of speech,
where people can be arrested & thrown into prison without charge just
for having opinions which do not agree with the Government's, and it
has now shown itself to be no better when it comes to treating
prisoners of war (and many of those arrested in Iraq are not POW's,
they are general prisoners who have been arrested just on suspicion
of committing normal crimes such as shoplifting - and are not
automatically guilty) than Saddam's police, the World War 2 German
Gestapo or Japanese prison guards. It has often been said that the
decency of a country can be judged by how they treat their prisoners -
America has let itself down badly in that respect.

I can think of many countries which are considered to be better
overall than the USA to live in - most western European countries,
New Zealand, Australia, CANADA!! - just to name a few.

I hope this message may have helped you to lift the shutters from
your eyes.

A very happy Aussie
