Lemme guess, this is yet another "USA sucks!" thread because you can't get over your jealousy of America being so much better than your country.

I don't even have to read your posts above to know that.

"America bad! Europe good! Her derp!"

Basically the US has more for many in common with a third world country, is it any wonder so many are just out for themselves and don't understand collective responsibility.

Seek help for your obsession with a country you don't even live in, pooty.


I get it.... you're green with envy that the US is so much better than your country but this kind of obsession is not healthy.

Yeah, the inequality in the US is a real problem, you can really see that in the immense squalor the poorest there live. I think the Guardian is obfuscating the scale of the problem in the UK however. It is a deeply unequal, classist society as well with many of the same problems (albeit somewhat left working party that was able to preserve the hard fought for welfare state and labour rights much longer than in the US (they were better in the UK to start with as well). Additionally it had the EU as a positive social influence, it's very worrying to imagine what a Tory government will do towards its citizens if it is free from the (minor) social constraints of the EU, I don't think it will be pretty.

The UK as it heads out of Europe and gets in bed with the US if Trump wins with Boris, will decline to these state rapidly. I don't disagree at all with you Artol. Only difference is 50% of the UK are more compassionate which might slow things down.

Indeed, the reason I voted Remain was the very thought of a Tory government free to do whatever they liked.

Honestly Whirly, it would be refreshing if you made threads about other nation's problems. You never do that. Why?

I realize the U.S. is low hanging fruit for global critics. Know why? Freedom of speech.

Because he's pathetically obsessed with the United States, that's why. Just like he's obsessed with our great president.

You're not making sense DT. It's easy to project your own issues on others without facing your own.

And what I said is the truth. Perhaps if this was the only time that pooty/whirly had made an anti-USA thread then it might not be the case. But, he is constantly bashing America so it's obvious to me he's butturt that the United States is superior to his shitty country.


No coincidence either that he chose to make this thread on the 4th of July weekend (he's still buttmad that the American colonists defeated the redcoats lol). He's obviously trolling Americans and trying to sour our Independence Day. Won't work though. Tomorrow I'm going to celebrate our great country's birthday and this butthurt thread by pooty won't lessen my enjoyment of it one bit. thumb up

Also, I can't quote your posts because KMC sucks.

The living form "paycheck to paycheck" thing is real in the US. It is a major problem. The US needs a much better credit system overhaul and a minimum wage adjustment. If the US had an affordable UHC solution, we ended our drug war, and we ended our foreign wars and occupations, you'd see our poor drastically improve, our economy would drastically improve, our happiness would go up, and crime would go way down.


Not having an affordable UHC is the republicans fault. Ending our drug war, our foreign wars, and our foreign land occupations is a corrupt US politician (both dems and republicans) fault.

Anyone offended by Whirly's article is doing this country a disservice and you're not a patriot. You should want to make your country better, not hide the festering faults behind empty pride. Yeah, yours is a good post DDM. You have my approval, it's just it's got to the point where generally so many of your posts are misinformation for the lulz if it looks like word salad gaslighting time I just skip it. Perhaps I shouldn't.

That stuff where I'm posting irrefutable data, works cited, and from credible sources? You can either accept the science or be anti-science. That's up to you. Horse to water, etc.
