Nice saying our country is horrible with no support whatsoever, we have one of the highest qualities of life than any other country. Personally having been to Switzerland Italy Austria England and others I wouldn't want to move anywhere else, as long as you work hard and study hard you can achieve the Merican dream. I'm not saying we are perfect, we have high taxes and a costly education, but it all does pay off mostly in the end. Please keep this on topic :DDepends on where you live.

Yes, obviously if you were born and raised in the ghetto of Detroit it's a much lower quality of life than many countries, but for the average person being born and raised in the suburbs/rural parts of America it's much higher than a majority of other countries.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Human_Development_Index#Very_high_human_development
I didn't even mention the ghetto, Karth. There are average-income communities that have pretty piss poor school systems.You should see Greece's ::D
Teachers already get paid quite a good amount, at least once you get a few years under your belt. The problem is the job's such a shit job that no money is worth it.Ok
I'd rather go to a lower class school then to the one I go to where people wear confederate belt-buckles and fly confederate flags off the back of their trucks, and I live in PA so its really just disgusting.Confederates in PA? o.O Scuse mah poor history

Going back to the topic of public education. American public education is absolute shit. You can look at any other developed country in the world and their public education system is better than this one.Lol Greece's is even worse
How did this turn from a joke thread into a serious discussion about the quality of life in the States....Because that is what it was meant to be.

Yeah, exactly its disgusting they will have shirts with confederate flags and it will say "if this flag offends you take a history lesson".This is where PA is if you did not know(since your greek :P)I'd rather go to a lower class school then to the one I go to where people wear confederate belt-buckles and fly confederate flags off the back of their trucks, and I live in PA so its really just disgusting.Confederates in PA? o.O Scuse mah poor history
Nah, I know most of the states in the US, but I thought Philly was like a nice place, right? :DYeah, exactly its disgusting they will have shirts with confederate flags and it will say "if this flag offends you take a history lesson".This is where PA is if you did not know(since your greek :P)I'd rather go to a lower class school then to the one I go to where people wear confederate belt-buckles and fly confederate flags off the back of their trucks, and I live in PA so its really just disgusting.Confederates in PA? o.O Scuse mah poor history

Love UK's awful HDI. Anyway, USA's HDI is held down by the Mexicans and blacks. New England as a region has a higher HDI than most of western Europe.Contrary to popular belief, the UK does not consist of sunny Oxfordshire and Berkshire with elderly gentlemen drinking cups of tea :) . Up in The North, strange things happen, from what I've been told... :o
No offense Thomas but weren't you the one who stated PA should be apart of New England... in that regions melee tourney lol, and yes Philly is nice some parts :D. I have been a PA resident most my life and have never seen confederate flags... not sure what you are on about but I live in Pensyltuckey so see my fair share of rednecks as we have the 2nd largest population of NRA members.lol yeah I did, but I mean come on man that shits so close to being in New England.

Well I live right on the border with Maryland so It's about as far south as you could get in PA.
Its geographically and culturally stupid to consider PA as a part of New England lol , you must live in the good part of PA then. More South does not mean more redneck, I have also lived in the coal region of PA where in one town close to where I grew up a bunch of high schoolers had race riots with the Mexicans, and it was a popular documentary just made about it (as they actually murdered one). Unfortunately, I have to agree on one part, most of my family is from the South, specifically Georgia, and its a shame that parts of PA are x10 worse than many parts in Georgia.No offense Thomas but weren't you the one who stated PA should be apart of New England... in that regions melee tourney lol, and yes Philly is nice some parts :D.

It seems so much more important that one or two US citizens don't earn quite enough money to always buy the latest iPhone than the fact that the US goverment initiated 37 wars all over the world since 1945.
Obama = Poop
I'm really ObamaDon't touch my girlfriend.
Eh Obamacare was pretty piss-poor. Otherwise ya, everything else he has down has gone down the drain. Can't believe some people still wanted to re-elect him after his first term, which was HORRIBLE. Can't wait till 2016 when he is gone.Obama = Poop
Well at least he had guts to pass obamacare. Everything else he has done in his presidency has been disappointing to say the least.
Care to explain why it was pretty piss poor? Besides a bad website, I dont think insurance companies have the right to play God, dictating when not to pay or save a patient who has cancer by increasing his/her premium, they are people, could be your neighbor, and the insurance company used to be able to pull the plug if they wanted. Other than that a majority of people now have healthcare (yea a few had to change because they were on cheap crap plans in the first place), and a majority pay less (including my self I get healthcare benefits from working part time and my premium as I am alone went down 30% because our company switched, scared people would leave, thus creating a market). It also makes it x10 easier for college students like myself to enroll independently, with more knowledge and cheaper costs. This should have been dealt with decades ago. Mitt Romney had a extremely similar plan like his, which is why I favored him more than Obama in 2012.Eh Obamacare was pretty piss-poor.

Tbh. I have just listened to my parents and gone off my own knowledge.Haha atleast you are honest :P Its just politics, Republicans slandering Obamacare because of its faulty site, people buy into it, few people and small businesses are forced to pay healthcare for their employees then lobby the news stations to slander the ACA even more. At the end of the day, I only see it helping people. Thats not to see a few (like 30%) will have to change plans and pay more, but a overall majority (more so in Kentucky and other poor areas) are greatly benefiting from it. It would be the exact same thing but the Dems slandering Romneycare if he was elected. Either way, both parties at least had it in their plans. Even small businesses who have to pay for their employees healthcare are given subsidies in the form of tax credits, which is pretty helpful. The thing that still irks me is that these Tea Party members are trying to get it repealed (how dumb can you get), which will never happen considering the statistics.
Well when the Republican Speaker of the House says that the Tea Party is basically nuts, it's a pretty good indicator that something's wrong. I simply fail to understand why others must feel the need to repeal something that was not passed by their own party, regardless of how much it has helped or hindered the population. Karth I hadnt heard that Romney had a similar healthcare plan, but IMO the Democrats are a slightly stronger party at this point, so there's a good chance Romneycare or any healthcare reform at all would not be a thing currently if the roles were reversed.Tbh.

Honestly the broken political system in the US is the cause of so many issues. If it were fixed, quality of life would vastly improve.

This has been a debate for ages, it hasn't been since the friggen early 1900s since a 3rd party had a prayer of winning an election.
How do you change something which so many others claim is a non-issue?
Idunno man, us high school aged kids should stop pretending we know anything about politics/economics.Speak for yourself. Some people actually know shit.

Shhh Riddlez let us bask in our ignorance please :-[Idunno man, us high school aged kids should stop pretending we know anything about politics/economics.Speak for yourself. Some people actually know shit.
It takes like a day to educate yourself about the political system of your country, and maybe a few more to understand the basic concepts of how the system works, its history and how you must choose a good candidate to vote for. Sadly, it seems that spending a few nights behind your computer every four year is something that many people are unable to do.Depends how interested you are. Sadly, I feel that many of the people in this community who actually play NW and belong to a regiment and everything are more interested in "muh l3g1T_ Ch4mp skilSzS" than how their country is governed.
Idunno man, us high school aged kids should stop pretending we know anything about politics/economics.
Im in university :D in high school I took an AP gov class and econ so.. im sure there are some high schoolers that understand/know what they are talking about ;p

Well yeah, I took and Passed AP Gov and Econ as well, it really stems from memories or myself being 14-16 and spitting out the latest opinion I heard as my own.
I guess my point is that I'm pretty sure some of these people (myself included) don't know our points half as well as we should to debate them.

This so much. Politics discussion on the internet has always been somewhat of a shit shoot anyway. It's not only that some people don't understand the politics they're discussing, but that they simply don't have the experience in the world to make informed decisions. Maybe you know the facts, but not the wider implications behind those facts or the socioeconomics, or anything else required to actually understand the system you're living in. I'm not saying I'm excluded or innocent from this group of people. None of us are.

Brilliant Dear Leader's generous educational system has revealed to me much about the political knowledge that is to be gained in this world. I must respectfully disagree.

I find that last comment particularly amusing given your user name.Judging peoples' statements validity based on their names is like *facepalm*

Kim You turned a whole country into a dead waste land... (No offense).(https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7168/6509595461_92cb2ced4e_z.jpg)
I don't know much about politics, is a reason why I stay out of it whenever I can. Even in real life. (Few months before 18, so I'm not legal to vote). Although I did study Aruba's law and stuff... But it's barely knowledge worth knowing compared to EU and US government systems and law.
The fact I've never bothered to look up what "Klarinogampros" means in Greek doesn't really reflect my ability to read "greenglish" (what a name). Nor is that relevant anyway. Your post was about immature kids who play video games who think they're cool by using 1337-speak, yet you yourself use it in your name. THAT is what I found amusing. I would have respected your opinion on the matter more had your name been "Klarinogampros" as opposed to KL4R1N0G4MPR0S. The hypocrisy is the only thing I'm pointing out.I find that last comment particularly amusing given your user name.Judging peoples' statements validity based on their names is like *facepalm*
But, as always, I have to say that you don't really understand greenglish (Greek written with English characters) as a language, so you only focus on the caps.
This post will be illuminating for many.

Boy, that wounded pride. Case in point.
Ok, as much as I enjoyed that diversion off topic, the time has come to get back to discussing the US, both the good things and bad about it. I almost feel like we should make an argument thread, just so we can continue these discussions where it doesn't derail the thread. What are your thoughts guys?Yep
I like the Continental Marine uniform more than the Army one. Red and blue clashes a wee bit.I meant the general era of uniforms of the military, but nice link those pictures are great references. That turquoise color though :o
