Yo AD, a few things. One, you can't come up to anyone in any country and start giving non-constructive criticism and expect to be taken seriously. Look up past threads started by duck_duck and see how irrational she got. Instead of just insulting people, try to look at these issues from our point of view and then hopefully you will see just how complicated they are. Bring up points that you disagree with and give suggestions on how to solve it and then we will respond with why we either disagree with those solutions or why they can not work in the United States. Most of the critical European folks I've debated had very little idea how the United States works and I have a feeling that you might be in that group even though you aren't nearly as extreme as some I've met.

Second, stop with the nationalistic bullshit and pretending that the United States is evil while Sweden (or wherever) is all good. All the Western nations have blood on their hands, including yours, and even if you don't actually do the killing, you benefit from it. As I said earlier in other threads, the United States is just protecting its interests, which are more extreme than your country's, but we do mostly share the same interests, so you still benefit from what we do. All the Western European countries are liberal, not progressive.
