Quoting mltm: Sure, there're also a lot of things that I appreciate in the US. One day, I'd like to go there just for visiting. I think the Europe looks down upon on the US a bit, because what's real they lack culture and history. They exaggerate a lot of things, and there's a lot of cultural degeneration that's imported from the US to all parts of world. As well as the good things she has done, US has also done so many bad things, and the problem is she really sees herself as the police and director of the world. It saved us from the "evil" communism, but he created other evil things, he created the islamic fanatic groups and now he's bringing "democracy" to these places.
And I do not believe there's such a freedom there. You can get in prison for very stupid things, and there's still sentence to death. There are a lot of religious sects, and funny things going around religion there. It's quite easy to get a gun there. etc. etc. And there's no real social insurance there like in europe, if you have money, you can benefit from the best medical facilities, but if you do not have money, the government do not much care about you. You work a lot to make money there, in europe, you appreciate the social life you can have beside working, and you feel youself more under the protection umbrella of the government.
don't know there're strange things going on there. I'd prefer europe to US for a lot of reasons. |
However your comments regarding getting guns and going to jail and blah blah blah were really a waste of your typing fingers. That was pretty stupid considering I think those things are same all over 
As for visiting.... don't waste your time, there is nothing to see in this country that lacks in history and culture :-S

A waste of time? Most countries DO NOT have your laws on hand guns! There are few countries which have such a lax attitude to guns as the US. It is very easy to buy a gun in the USA. You must be 18 or over. When you buy a gun from a registered dealer, you have computerised background check. This only takes a few minutes, and you are free to go and shoot who the hell you want! 
Extract from the New York Times:-
"In the last year, 15 states have enacted laws that expand the right of self-defense, allowing crime victims to use deadly force in situations that might formerly have subjected them to prosecution for murder.
Jason Rosenbloom was shot twice during a dispute over how many garbage bags Mr. Rosenbloom had put out. The shooter was not arrested.
Jacqueline Galas, a Florida prostitute, shot and killed a 72-year-old client. She was not charged.
Robert Smiley, a cabdriver, killed a passenger in an altercation. He was tried but the jury deadlocked.
Supporters call them “stand your ground†laws. Opponents call them “shoot first†laws.
Thanks to this sort of law, a prostitute in Port Richey, Fla., who killed her 72-year-old client with his own gun rather than flee was not charged last month. Similarly, the police in Clearwater, Fla., did not arrest a man who shot a neighbor in early June after a shouting match over putting out garbage, though the authorities say they are still reviewing the evidence.

I don't agree with this, I think that the US DOES have a culture and history, which is very interesting.

I DO agree with this though

I think I did not use such a good word here. I thought to lack means that not being enough. I did n't want to mean that US does not have any culture and history. But I got the impression from the europeans or other countries as well in criticizing the US that they often see they see US culture inferior.

Quoting karekin04:
her comment was its EASY to get a gun, if your saying its not EASY to get a gun anywhere else |
Well, it IS too easy to get a gun in the US!! And I can only speak for the EU countries, but it is much much harder to get a gun here. You have to obtain a license which is endorced by the police.
The MOST important aspect is that HAND GUNS are completely banned here.
