Can we not insult others on this thread and stop making assumptions on people? It makes this thread feel less informative to read when people are insulting others logic just because they have opinions- such as that the US education system is supposedly trash. That is an opinion/personal experience, is not relevant, and it is not an appropriate way to try to shoot down someones comments.

To the recent posts: I would just like to state America has it's good points and bad points. Sure, we have had our fair share of humane rights violations mostly associated with our removal of Native Americans, Internment Camps for Japanese during WW2, and yes many could say that some of our recent wars have just been wars for oil which could partially be proved true.

However, America is not a dictatorship of any kind. Last time I checked, a dictator would not allow you under any circumstances to have an array of rifles and shotguns including a Barrett 50 Cal. inside of your personal household- in which my family can completely legally do so without issues.

I am not hating on anybody else's country because it seems they all of our countries are going to have major flaws, I know plenty of flaws that exist in the US- but it doesn't mean we are a "fail country" The world is a different place in this modern age and infrastructure is much more delicate with the evolution of the media and the internet. Governments have changed all over the world and it isn't my favorite thing to see, but there has to be a point where you can understand where they are coming from. We have a threat of nuclear/chemical war that we all have to be sensitive about and learn how to keep anyone from pulling those triggers.
