1. I chose it sucks. I used to like this Country andI was fairly happy
with the way things were going, but it's either getting much worse than it ever was, or I'm getting more info and paying more attention to what' really goig on. Maybe it's a combnation of those, but it feels like it's been such a very long time since I've heard anthing really good, but the bad keeps coming!
Bet those feelings just started in the past year or so, right?

3. I voted the middle option, but if I could leave I absolutely would.
You should have taken me up on my 'Mexican Vacation' offer.

16. I agree 100% with you. This is not the country I was born into and I am really
concerned as to what it has become and even more concerned as to where it's headed. It seems to me that in the years of Clinton it just moved along. It went so far downhill during the years of Bush that I really wonder if it can even be patched back together.

14. Love the US, for all it's flaws. To those who "would" leave, I have to ask, what is stopping you?
There's a whole world out there, and the door's open.

20. Love it or leave it!
Actually, it's not that easy to leave if you don't have the right skills, the money or are over a certain age.

27. Those who could no longer tolerate their nation left with alot less.
The history of Ellis Island will show you that one.
Honestly, I think alot of this "it sucks" vote is coming from the "I'm so hip, contraire and iconoclastic" brigade. I used to see it all the time in the 8th and 9th graders I taught as a substitute. It's cute, on them at that age.

In other words, the US is the only country that tolerates leeches and the useless dregs of society like most of the DUmmies.

I'd say what stopping those who 'genuinely'* want to leave are immigration policies that are far, far more difficult to navigate than ours - and policies against illegals that are barbaric by comparison.
*Most of the primitives have no intention of going anywhere, even though they claim the desire to.

I say lets change the welfare laws to the point that they either leave, or starve....

that would help - starting by tightening up regulations on getting unemployment.
I know it sucks out there, but 99 WEEKS of benefits ? With virtually no oversight to ensure one is doing their best to get off the rolls ?
Might as well just make it a cool two year paid vacation - because thats what many abusers are using this for.

Even in these hard Obama economic times, Jukin still has a crisp one hundred dollar bill for any DUmbass that renounces their citizenship and moves to a real paradise of he left (NK, VZ, Cuba, China, anywhere in Africa....).

50. There's no option for those who don't live there, never want to, and don't love it...
That's the option I would have picked...
What a loss to us that you are not American.

6. I love the principles on which it was based, the visions our founders had, but
I hate what it has become.
I agree with this DUmmy, but for different reasons I'm sure.

Yeah, ain't they!
BTW, I love your handle! Boudicca was the first Amazon Queen! She ended up gettin' her butt whipped, but she sure as hell made the Romans pay before Roman tactics overwhelmed her force. She got suckered into a battle she wasn't prepared to fight. She could have starved 'em out, but her "generals" figured they had overwhelming odds. Big mistake!
Still, she was the first female warrior in recorded history that actually picked up a sword and used it!

Ya gotta wonder what a REAL feminist like Boudicca would have made of these false femmes parading as such? Bet she would be a Republican, or at least a conservative. :cheersmate:

58. As an Aussie, I just find passion and love of another country a bit strange...
I don't even love Australia, and it's my own country. If I were to grudgingly love another country, however, it'd be the UK coz the weather's grey and drab and everyone forms orderly queues for everything and don't push in.
We've seen Violet before, haven't we? IIRC, she's a world-class bitch. Nasty, like a NanceGreggs. BTW, whenever I feel annoyed and need a smile on my face, I just remember the posted pic of Nance glaring in the window at William Shatner. Does the trick every time.

Why are people like this allowed to breathe? PLEASE tell me he lives somewhere in Wisconsin.

The sad thing is, after reading a lot about Ben Franklin, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that he tried to do that at least once. His genius is matched by only two things - his insanity, and his love of prostitutes... The USA would not have been the same without him.

Sorry, I thought we were talkin' about a pic, not a photoshop. I thought maybe ya had a "real" pic!
You're right, I saw it the first time. I'm gettin' old for cripes sake! Respect your elders!

Hell Ben was a sex addict! I resemble that remark, only diff is, I've been married to one that shares that philosophy for 36 years so I never needed a .....uh........ for a fix!
