My post was to point one thing out. The legal system needs reworked. The death penatly was suppose to be used a detterant (sp?) and it obviously does not deter people from crimes.  Then you take in the racism factor, and you find that it is truly flawed. Of course, the legal system needs reworked beyond that, just like these child support cases.

As for anyone who is in love with this country - I\'m sorry for them. Like MM said, we live in a policed state, nothing more. We like to think we have freedom of speech, but do we? No. You can post something on the highway that says "Jesus is our friend", but can you post something that says "Satan rocks!"? Most likely, no. It would be deemed offensive.

Fact is, this whole country and goverment is in a rut. We are use to suing for what we want and when that doesn\'t work , invading and killing. We are use to the goverment making all the choices for us and us believing we have some control over it - when in reality we don\'t.

There has been plenty of groups who want to make a change or fear the goverment. What happens to them? They\'re shut down, silenced or burned down.

We also waste countless money on trivial things like our President\'s sex life. Why does that matter? It shouldn\'t. He is entitled to a sex life, for christ sake. But, instead, we tax the hard working people and proceed to waste all that tax money on expensive trials.


I personally, am not proud to be an American and never have been.

Im not condoning terrorist attacks..but LIC\'s post pretty much summed up some large reasons why so many dislike the US enough to sabotage it.

Now let me ask you this LIC.  If you are so strongly against how things are done here, what do you do to change it?

i wouldnt say they dislike the US as a whole. just what we do outside

if we didnt fund and support Isreal all those years, i wonder if 9/11 could have been avoided

that seems to be thier only grief, along with most of anti-US countries

we try to be the world police, and do a shitty job at that

he doesnt have to change it boz
he spoke out, and thats more than most can do
his kids will be the ones to change it

strong opinions dont necessarily mean one has to do something other than preaching their word.

Remember I said JUST WONDERING.  And don\'t take this the wrong way but what is the point of forming an opinion on it and telling it to everyone if your not going to do anything to change it.

Well..Ill assume you know how powerful words can be(hitler) Words are the most powerful weapon in the world. Look how often a post in this little forum are often seen with so many interpretations.

Yes, your right about that.  But only telling us about these problems wouldn\'t change anything at all.
