Europe > The world

Italy > rest of Europe

'nuff said.

You american guys should move over here... there is only ONE small thing... you can't gamble... in any way. No poker, neither online nor live.

I like the health care, however it is hurting a bit ( the big thing about "free" health care is that if you let the population get fat and unhealthy then the cost can get out of control.)

OP
You are free to post this and complain all you want.
You are also free to vote for officials that you think may change what you dont like.
You are free to opose OBAMA BUSH CLINTON and berate, lie and say anything you want about them, short of threats.
You are free to demonstrate in the streets without the fear of being shot like a dog by the government forces.
You are not free to drink and drive and kill me or my children GET OVER IT OR GTFO

Disagree with the title- however OP does have valid points.

Land of the free indeed--- you can go to war and die for your country at 18 but cannot drink legally until you are 21

All forms of gambling should be legal as long as there are failsafes in place to ensure age restrictions are obeyed


I do agree. Although the legal drinking age was set to 21 after initially being 18, I do agree that it should be moved back down to 18.

If you can fight and die for your country, you should be able to sip on a frosty Miller Lite.

Certain herbs.

Drinking under 21. (But no I do not think a 15 year old should be able too)
Basically anything that is a lot of fun or the government cannot get their big ugly hand into.


The only things you find fun are smoking weed, playing poker, and getting drunk? Seriously?

Theres something good in everything, you don't have to hunt down illegal drugs, you never wake up with a hangover, you live in a great place and you have a cool sig.

I was sad because I had no hat, until I saw a man with no head.

LOL, the country and the constitution is great...the govt sucks. the US people are stupid...back in the day we revolted against our govt...but today we just keep voting the donkeys into office.

And um you can and will be arrested for protesting laws in this country...try not to pay your taxes and you will have the federal marshals on your property. So um, you cant protest in this country against any law.

the problem with the country is big business, its all about profit and no longer customer service. Ever call your cc company or bank...you need to listen to 10 minutes of recorded messages before you might be able to speak to a human.,..then its a person thye outsourced their jobs to and dont speak english. but our govt keeps giving them tax breaks and bailout money.
Way to go american ppl.
Oh by the way I do live in the US and would love to revolt.....better do it soon before the new world order takes hold and you lose all your basic freedoms....

From the well s of disappointment
where the women kneel to pray
for the grace of God in the desert here
and the desert far away:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean
I love the country but I can't stand the scene.
And I'm neither left or right
I'm just staying home tonight,
getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags
that Time cannot decay,
I'm junk but I'm still holding up this little wild bouquet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

The USA doesn't suck, just (most) of our politicians. A lot of people who bash the USA have never even been here before. We aren't all fat and lazy, racist rednecks or elitist snobs. We aren't all disrespectful to people's beliefs and customs. We all aren't Bush supporters or Obama sheep. Yes, the USA has some crappy laws and policies, but it really tilts me when I read things like "America Blows". Comments like that reek of ignorance.
