NO IT SUCKS UR CUNTRY SUCKS MEHEHEHEHHEHEH (Incoherent scream)
lol :)
Nice post Salmon, can't really imagine why it got 6 downvotes.
The U.S. is backwards compared to what,
China?
Russia?
Sweden?
North Korea?
Iran?
What exactly --??? WTFH????
Did you know girls cannot ride bicycles in Iran? do you think they like that?
Certainly not.
Do you know what it's like in China right now? Do you understand what Red Tourism is? Do you what it means when you can't talk about the government or you get shipped to a Black Prison? Do you know what it means when you can't discuss the President or other things or else you get assassinated? Do you understnad how many political assassinations Putin did? DO you know how many people are in Prison for commenting on the War in Ukraine right now? Do you even comprehend what it's like to live in such a place, such a hell as North Korea? Do you even have any fundamental grasp of the fact that they are forced to worship of their leader as a God? as a Deity? Do you even comprehend in the slightest infinitesimal amount that churches are bombed in Africa, the people are fighting warlords and all of this?
I mean obviously not. Obviously you love all these places as Bastions for freedom. While America was fighting for women's rights, (and just a thousand others I won't mention because I know how backwards a lot of peoples' view are here), millions and millions were pushed into starvation by Mao? 20-30 million etc., low estimates and so forth.
Yes we had Kent state, etc., (No I do not expect you to know what that means,) but while we were fighting for a few freedoms to be more permanently in place, other countries were stuck in Soviet hell, (and yes it was quite hellish in the Soviet Union) I remember this one story by Chekhov; it's really lovely just the saddest story in the universe.

I mean a while ago -- For the whole issue of Putin and all this I did a little bit of research on the history of all this. Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin etc -- So -- very interesting. Trotsky was a fellow you should know if you want to understand history.
He essentially sentenced everyone who was in the Russian Orthodox Church, to die, and he destroyed about 100 churchs... There were 130 before him, and 30 after him.

I guess in general I Just have to ask, why do you post crap like this? How does it benefit anyone? How can you look around the world right and see that a place that just legalized marijuana,...
*Sigh*
It's just beyond absurd. No country is perfect but the rights of people are much more protected in America than in almost any other country.
@mixK9 "oh no look there are other countries that do much worse than us!"
Isn't that the very defintion of whataboutism?
Where do you purport to live, the U.K.? And you are so unhappy?
You dislike the very place that you live?
Do you have problems with your neighbors or something?
What I'm saying that is your antipathy for the United States and the United Kingdom (From which you claim to live) SEem to come from Personal problems/issues.
You are just praising what, nihilism? Destruction?
You have the United States and so on and so forth and think it's horrible and terrible and on and on --
But what in the universe are you comparing it to? Again?
North Korea,?
China?
Africa?
France?
Australia?
You condemn the U.K. and the United States, for what reason? There is no rhyme or reason or purpose to your posts it's just nonsense and idiocy and pain.
What's better then? Australia? Well-- Australia is an ally of the United States, and a pretty damn good friend. France? Again we are allies.
Germany? WE LOVE THE HECK OUT OF GERMANY.
So who are you in the end praising above all this, and for what reason are you blathering on mindlessly about all this crap?
You are just praising nihilism and destruction if you want to attack these countries for no reason.
@mixK9 from the Wikipedia page of whataboutism
> Any criticism of the Soviet Union (Afghanistan, martial law in Poland, imprisonment of dissidents, censorship) was met with a 'What about...' (apartheid South Africa, jailed trade-unionists, the Contras in Nicaragua, and so forth).
It doesn't take a genius to replace Soviet Union by US and see what remains of your post.
@Pretzelattack1 you do understand this is mindless blathering, don't you?
God you are funny.
Wtf are you even talking about? You post is insane -- you think you get jailed for criticizing the government in America?
that is -- LITERALLY, the MOST INSANE Thing you could ever possibly say.

You are insane if you think that's what I'm saying. But more likely, you're just trolling and making yourself dumber than you actually are.
Also you're not fooling anyone with your double account.
Pure hate pure insanity.
Do you even have any idea what's oging on in the world?
how many people are dying?
What are you wanting to spread hate about America?
Do you not even LIVE in the U.K.?
Unable to coherently say anything of sense or substance you revert to ad hominem.
I personally do not think that the U.S. is a "backward" country.
But one thing I have to say: Criticizing it is totally okay - so is comparing it to countries that are backward countries (or at least that's how we percieve them).
Am I wrong?
