I know the Brits are joking but living in America >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Europe, I've had a taste of both. The only two bad things about the US (for the average person) are its backwards healthcare system and poor job security. If they fixed that the US would easily be a no brainer.

Are you a communist?just asking

Nope, but the average American is not actually a true capitalist either.

Those and the fact privacy doesn't exist in america.

American government literally collects and passes around explicit images of a majority of the citizens, they also invade privacy in a ton of other ways and even use fake cell phone towers to collect data.

America lives on a false sense of freedom, but happy July 4th Americans!!

Those parts of the Patriot Act expired for a day at least.

But do you honestly think it's stopped? Snowden released documents that showed them doing a ton of illegal things to get private information and things of the sort. The fake cellphone towers are also something that happened recently.

Organizations like the NSA will always be like that, and I'm not saying this to try and make places like Canada sound better either because here in Canada thanks to Harper we pretty much will be experiencing this same problem.

(I think your OP was unfinished so I might of jumped the gun - my bad, but it's still important Americans realize what's going on)  

Inb4 America's leaders are actually British and it was all an elaborate scheme to be able to spy on the descendants of our convicts that we sent to america

Honestly I don't even care, come take my privacy. I'd happily live in the US again.

You think European nations don't do the same? The Brits are completely ****ed, even worse off than Americans. Germany has been in bed with the NSA and Merkel is just trying to save face. The Swedish government became Hollywood's bitch when they cracked down on the Pirate Bay and piracy in general because the US basically told them to.

I feel that privacy is pretty much gone in most developed nations. The exceptions would be smaller well off countries like Norway. It is unfortunate but that's just the way it is and has been for a while now.  

Happy 4th of July

But does that really matter for the average American citizen? So many people online are so wrapped up in the NSA invading their privacy, when really it doesn't matter where you live, if you are connected to the internet (or even if you aren't at this point), the government can and will monitor you.

Now enjoy your fireworks and stfuu  

All these nooby tea drinkers would be singing a different tune if this was the early 40's. Bow down to the murican master race that saved you from the Germans.

OT: hitting up centennial park to enjoy the festivities and watch the firework display.


Betting sweet home Alabama will be playing a lot today :p
