Since corruption is common around the states and I can't decide what to put for it's choice so I guess what I put is good enough. Say why you like about your country or not or what you think of America

Wales (especially the North) I adore... a lot of England is beautiful too, but I'm too used to living in English cities and not the countryside, so I don't like it as much as the mountainous regions of North Wales.

I hate my government, how's there's never anything to do and.. I guess, the people.

[Lifeless Void]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Yes, I do, not.

Oh yeah a reason.... BECAUSE IF YOU CAN SHOOT A MAN IN COLD BLOOD AND GET AWAY WITH IT BECAUSE THE DEFENCE LAWYERS COULD PUT UP A BETTER CASE THAN THE PROSECUTERS, BUT EVERYONE KNOWS THE MAN DID IT, WITH ALSO A FEW WITNESSES, THAT IS JUST PLAIN JANE INSANE.

Voted yes.

Country is Germany.

Mandatory health insurance - employer has to pay half, other half is taken out of your paycheck, your whole family is covered, free choice of doctors, dental included.

Maternity leave - after having a baby, either of the parents can take up to 3 years unpaid leave, during which time your employer has to keep your job available to you and let you return to it when the 3 years are up.

Kindergeld - The government pays you for having children, approximately 200US$ per child, until the child is 18, even longer if the child is still in college until such a time that the education is finished, maximum 27 years.

Other social benefits - including an unemployment security/welfare program that will leave nobody stranded. There is no time limit to how long someone can receive welfare, if you are in need, you get it.

Semi free education - Universities are accessible without tuition fees to students out of all social classes, as long as their grades are good enough to sign up for those particular classes. Students will have expenses as far as books and other study material, as well as housing etc, but student loans (Bafög) are available to those who can't afford it out of their own pocket.

I like in Oklahoma, USA.

I voted yes.

I love the United States. I hate the politicians and morons that infect it though.

[Bowlin]

I hate the politicians and morons that infect it though.

That is the one thing I point out that cause the corruption. Some of the politicians say they'll do this for the country or state and end up doing something completely different or nothing at all or they just want to feel what it's like to be elected. lol

How is 'I live in America' a response to 'Do you love your country?'

[Bowlin]

How is 'I live in America' a response to 'Do you love your country?'

It was an option I thought of putting in for those who live in America and couldn't decide whether they like it as it is or not.

[Meew]

*ponders* i took the last option as sarcasm..

kind of like a ...."pfft i live in america...>< how the hell do you think i feel about it..."

than again i'm sure if there were dots after it... the sarcasm would have been easily noted oO but yes.. heh heh.

but as for the question do i love my country......Nope. not even a little bit.. and they own Guam.. which just makes me all the more angry spiteful against the US.. >.> cuz i love Guam.. *sniffles* but ah well heh.

[Bowlin]

*ponders* i took the last option as sarcasm..

[Lady_Maha]

I'm not going to try to bash on the US too much, but I just have to reply to that last post. I lived int he US for quite a while, my husband is American, and he is happier here in Germany.

The reason a lot of the world dislikes or even hates the US is not because it is not a beautiful country, I know I have seen enough of it to find things I like about it, but the politicians that screw it up. This has nothing to do with number 1, since there are a lot of aspects in which the US is far from being number 1, mentioning only a few when I say social security and education.

Yes, the US itself is a nice place, lovely beaches, lovely mountains, even the desert has it's flair, but before making a statement as closedminded as "everyone hates the US because they are number 1", consider the real reasons.
